The only slight good thing was I've left my fantasy captaincy on Salah all season so at least he's getting me points...

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Watford will probably sack their manager after this.
Such a mighty effort that was by Watford.
Funny that, because he’s been great for us whenever he’s been fit. Yes like the rest of our defenders his level went up when VVD came in but that also coincided with him approaching peak years.
It just wasn’t like he was ever bad, he had games early on where he was bullied but that almost never happens now and his aerial ability has come on leaps and bounds. He was the best defender at the club instantly (rest of them weren’t great shakes admittedly)
Goes to show a manager knowing a players strengths and how he fits in his system is vitally important.
The have a great manager who knows how to get the most out of his squad.
It genuinely was that bad over the course of 90 mins. Surprised they didn’t hook him.
You should, very moreish though.
Watford will just go down, and use their "reward" money from relegation to blow the Championship out of the water and come straight back up.
Atleast we got our game back though.

Watford will beat United
I know, he's been stunningly consistent.
It's been really surprising
But yes - reminds me of something I read about SAF (or even Klopp talking about SAF?), his ability to convey to players exactly what they are supposed to do (and setting the team up so that this also means limiting or focusing what they need to do..) and give them the confidence to believe in themselves to get this job done, and they end up doing it.
Nah we’ll beat Watford. The problem is we’ll make it look like an almighty struggle and it’ll be on a knife edge the whole game as we win by a one goal difference.
Then people will say “Glad we won but holy shit we make it look so hard. I worry this happens way too much”
And then someone will reply “We won. Shut the feck up. Get out of here with your Oleoutter agenda”
And the cycle continues
This was the case before kick off to be honest.
I am so fed up with pro ole fans making every excuse under the sun for our performances and results under ole when klopp is able to make liverpool put in great performances and results with the likes of matip and Milner in their first 11, if those players were in our side they would be scapegoats for every bad result under ole.
Klopp is the best manager in the world atm. That OGS isn't as good as him is no slight on Ole.
It can't be healthy for Man United fans to keep re-routing everything that happens in other games to Man United, especially in the form of constant self-flagellation.
At some point, other teams winning football games will have to be something you just register as normal, not as a trigger.
That Liverpool managed to beat this sorry excuse of a team should not result in any argument about your club, it's not like you never win any games.

Totally agree. It's feckin weird.
City score. Silva.
That was a nice result to wake up to. Salah is in ridiculous form.
Great goal from Greenwood and now Tielemans.

A section of our fans were just as bad after it became clear Lampard wasn't the man for the job and let's not get started on some Arsenal fans and their excuses for Arteta.
I think a large section of English club fans actively support mediocrity because they think it makes them a better fan.
It's a United forum first and foremost. That is why the majority of football discussions tend to focus on United sooner or later.
Anyone see the Laporte tackle?
Most threads are polarised now (bit like society I guess), no shades of grey.
I'm not Ole out (a t.m.) but there are lots he needs to do better and there's no getting away from it.
Yeah. He was off the ground but kind of pulled out mid challenge. Not sure it’s a red personally.
Broja gives Southampton lead against Leeds.
I wouldn’t worry. I turn on match united score within 5 min. I turn it off and Leicester score. Now I’m watching again. I don’t know why. Should just keep it off
Villa ahead against Wolves. Danny Ings.
On loan from Chelsea apparently.
There's a surprise.
That was shocking from Danny Rose. One of the worst left-back performance I have seen. How did he fall off so rapidly? He was quite good under Pochettino.
KDB for City and McGinn for Villa.
He was on loan at Vitesse last season.There's a surprise.
Another surprise.
Söyüncü!! Has been coming.
Never fails. Goal united
Holy shit Vaaaardy!
Vardy!!!!+
Ronaldo to score next
Bugger, come on Utd get another goal. I'm getting worried for Ole. 
njred keep turning your TV on and off!!

Wait, why is Jesse Lingard on there?
