That's such a ridiculous comment. You do know we'll drop points at places we won last season, right?
Two bad points dropped

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.
It's too early in the season to say just how bad a result this is. If we go on to win the league, it will be forgotten. If we miss out by a few points, we'll be looking back at missed opportunities like these.
I still hope that his decision-making will improve one day. That was pretty fecking poor.
Yeah it was a shit result. And I was almost fecking sick. But I don't know how to react. It's fecking madness. We've got to be better than this, but I don't know how to react to that. fecking joke. Just need to get up and beat the other Scouse at home now.
I thought Evans could have done better with the second, he missed the header and Cahill scored.
And what about Berbatov, who had Giggs and Nani is far better positions
Don't blame him for the feck ups in our defense. Evans and co should have been more alert.
I'm not blaming him specifically just that we could obviously do with a player like Ferdinand to come into the side.
Did you see what Evans was up to for the second and third goals?
Adding to that, Chelsea have already gained points based on last season.
This.
There can be no excuses. Nobody should be happy with the cumulative effect of those games. They were there to be won and failure to do so is extremely worrying. This season is unique compared to the last one and you can't assume we will match previous results along our schedule. The opportunies are here now and we are just wasting them, carelessly.
It's not championship form or even the killer instinct of winners.
Now I can't watch any football game all weekend.
No way should he allow Cahill to get the ball. People were saying he was solid at the back today, I did not see it.
feckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. I have stayed up all night for this. feckk
Did nobody else want to stab Neville for having the ball, 3-2 up, deep in injury time, under no pressure...and booting it down field to one of their players? fecking shocking decision, and Im getting pretty sick of him getting games for us for no discernable reason.
For a start the let up in the last ten minutes or so was from wanting to conserve energy we should not be in a position where Scholes is having to do this because he has to play on Tuesday. We should have brought him off but no there are not the options on the bench to do that. We were already playing O'Shea in midifeld and had to swap that about when Evra went off for a winger! We should have enough options to play everyone in their natural position especially with Ferguson saying we have a "fully fit squad".
I think this conserving energy and letting up in matches is directly a result of Ferguson not having the confidence in the squad to cope with two matches close together as a result of not being supported in the transfer market. The defenders did make mistakes today but were the feck where the midfield for that second late goal.
He and about 6 others were all at fault, collectively the team in the last 3 mins were a shambles, our older players tiring perhaps
now I will not watch any match this weekend.
too pissed. Today and Fulham. Both feel worse than defeats.

I couldn't believe that. Was it Neville? What a plonker.
This is spot on.
That was another peeve of mine, these little things get magnified now. I don't think that it was a coincidence that both goals came from his side either although Nani wasn't offering much help towards the end too.
Not the first time we threw away a big lead at Goodison, only that we didn't have Ruud to save us this time!
It's hard to fathom how we threw that away. There was enough experience out on the pitch to understand we should just be playing keep ball with the clock ticking down.
I'm genuinely bemused at that the way we capitulated.
Berbatov's shot was just as poor.And what about Berbatov, who had Giggs and Nani is far better positions
Don't blame him for the feck ups in our defense. Evans and co should have been more alert.
I didn't blame Nani for the goals obviously, but just like fulham he happened to be the one who could have killed the game off if he was more focused.
What's the point of comparing this season and what happened in the last one ? Is it a way to calm yourself down ?
I think it's useless.It's not mathematics with the points projection and all
I wouldn't disagree with you. Scholes was shattered in the last 15 when we should have brought on Gibson or even Smalling.
FFS. I thought we were going to get away with the Carrick injury as well.
Yep. When Cahill's goal went it, I thought to myself with 90 seconds to go we can handle this...just keep the ball, boys. And what do we do? Instead of playing it back to Van der Sar and passing the ball around at the back like we were in the 70th minute, we boot it forward. Absolutely infuriating.
Now here is a first, I concur
Same here. It's a crap way of looking at the positive side to things. Except it isn't even a positive, it's pointless. You don't drop points against the exact same teams every season, each season is different. And there is NO positive in this result. Maybe the performance, but there can't be any positives from a result which you gifted away.
Might be in the minority here.. but I don't feel pissed off, probably because I just catched the replay of the goals rather than watching them go in live, also I was really pleased with the rest of the performance.
Our defence needs to be alot better, but I still wouldn't write off our title hopes off just yet.

Thats not supposed to happen!!
That's the weekend fecked right there
Absolutely shambolic ending to the game. We should be on here talking about a surprising comfortable victory (after the first 20 minutes of being on the back foot, and conceding first too)
Guess there's no prizes for guessing which game MotD features first tonight

And Chelsea 2-0 up.
I'm off to kill myself. Goodbye.

Anybody who thinks that todays match will cost us the title need to wise up, the manner of the finish has deflated us all to the point where we are throwing the towel in already
Explains exactly how I feel. I have no idea how that just happened. I dont think the players will either.
Every cloud...
It's not useless at all. It makes perfect sense.
It's not just about last season either. Two points at Goodison and Craven cottage are nowhere near the disaster that's got so many of our resident cry-babies frothing at the mouth.
The way the game finished was a massive kick in the balls but now it's over all we can do is try to put it in perspective.
heard Green is continuing his good form from the world cup
Its performances like todays that will cost us the title. Massive hold on the game late on and throw 2 points away. Exactly the same as against Fulham. We can't keep doing it when any point dropped is critical.
Also, since when did we start conceding last minute goals? That's our forte, dammit!
I'm doing quite a good job of containing my disgust at the world right now. fecking twat that it is.

Extremely lucky by all accounts but luck balances itself out over a season, the good news according to Merson is that they are not that impressive
I was getting nice Buzz when going into extra time that a United win (especially against a good team) gives.
