Do you still watch when we're 3-0 down?

Usually watch all our matches, but closed that one after 2-0. Heard we conceded a 3rd. Reopened, watched the 3rd goal, laughed then closed it again.

I watched until the 70th minute but stopped to make dinner and never came back. And I almost always watch every minute regardless of the score.

If we’re trying I’ll watch every minute

But usually when United are losing by 2 or 3 goals, it’s due to a lack of effort

Usually watch the whole match if I can, irrespective of the result.

Yesterday I missed the first half and watched the second. In isolation the second half wasn't that bad.

Spent a bit longer at the bar at half time than usual. Not as long as I did at Dean Court mind.

You should be all over the owners here.

We have let this gulf of class between us and City/Liverpool happen due to the club being run to sort their needs (dividends).

At the moment I don’t see a single thread on the top page in this forum about the Glazers

You are enabling them to cause this situation

Give peas a chance.
I watch us being shite, so when we eventually become good again it'll make it feel so much better... is something I've been telling myself for like 7 years now.

Chose to watch the full 90. The least i could do after watching every minute of Fergies tenure pretty much. I switched off once when United were 3-0 down to Chelsea and when i switched it back on the score was 3-3 and i felt horrible about it ever since. But i knew that wouldn't happen tonight, but had to pay for my sins tonight.

I watch every game, for every minute, unless I physically can't (like I'm at work or travelling - in which case I catch the highlights later). I don't think I physically can turn off a game or walk away, because in my mind I'll feel like a shit fan if I do.

There have been times recently where I've thought "why do I do this to myself?!" but I still have to support the team. It's the right thing to do. It's the only thing to do, for me.

I chose not to watch the Norwich game but that was the only game i missed this season. I knew we were going to get battered yesterday and it took a tame sancho attempt on 54 mins to register our first 'shot'. By the end i was watching with one eye on the game on my laptop and watching the tv

I could never turn a game off, or leave a game early no matter what. Have to know what happens and witness how it happened.

I remember the good old days where we could be losing 3-0 with 20 minutes left and I'd still think we had a chance of drawing 3-3. Carried that mentality as a fan for years, decades even. Hard to feel that way these days though.

I don’t even tune in to watch. Used to watch every game I could get access to, but these days it’s a waste of 90 minutes even when we win.

I was certain Liverpool would win 4-0 yesterday but refrained from betting on them. That’s about as much as I can bring myself to do these days. I pretend it isn’t happening if I can and only check this site to see if there’s a glimmer of hope and if the rest of you have caught up to me in my apathy.

I Watch till the end always.

And I usually have to get up at 3 am to watch the games.

When you support the club, you support it no matter what.

These days, it’s tough times. But the glory days will return again and then, all the pain would have been worth it!

I always watch until the end. Sometimes I'm tempted to turn off but I never do.

I watch it all. It's morbidly fascinating in a "how much worse could we actually get" sort of way.

I also feel like sticking around for the bad times make the good times feel even sweeter.

I wouldn't turn the TV off I was watching at home but did leave early last night. First time I've ever done that but they normally lock us in at Liverpool and there were murmurings doing the rounds of 85 minutes being the cut-off point for getting out or being kept in so we ducked out on about 82 to get away.

Was watching on someone else's TV, so no control over remote!

When watching games live I have left a few minutes early in those games were we were getting pasted, but that was only so that the day could be brightened (a little) by getting away from OT quicker.

Truth is there is no place to hide on such occasions and if you are watching in the Gtr Manchester area, it will come at you again on local news TV tonight!

Turned it off at half time. It was the first full half I have watched since the first leg of the Atletico tie.

I have always advocated supporting the team through the tough times as well as the good times, but if the players cannot be bothered to play then I will not be bothered to watch. It is not simply a bad patch for the team, they have given up and it's not palatable for me.

I usually move heaven and earth to watch every single match but have enjoyed missing a lot games recently due to other commitments and not feeling like I want to stop everything for the game. Imagine I will return with renewed interest once all the upheaval is over during the summer and hopefully the players start to care again.

When I found Matic and Pogba in the starting line-up I actually said 4-0 loss would be a good result. I feared 8 - 0.
After 2 - 0 goal that was it for me. United players looked like cones in a Liverpool training session.

I watch every minute of every game 99.9% of the time. However, the one time I didn't was earlier this season when I was fuming that West Ham were awarded a penalty against us in injury time. This coming after we had at least one stonewall penalty turned down. It's amusing how it mattered more at the beginning of the season. As if I believed we were a good side and that this moment could have been pivotal in stopping us in our title challenge :lol:
