I can’t hate United because I’d rather them win over Chelsea Arsenal City or Liverpool lol

so I kinda have to root for them a little bit

 

You must hate us. It’s the law.

 

What’s your opinion of Ole now?

He’s been a roller coaster as far as results are concerned. I still think they strategically fired Jose and hired Ole at a time where the scheduled lightened up. And that led to Ole having a very nice start. But then it kinda went south. And then this season was up and down before the restart. And now they’re playing better than anyone.

 

Not 100% sold. We were shite all season until February. We got some great results then beating City twice and Chelsea. Since the restart, lets be honest, we’ve had a piss easy schedule and teams have played into our hands. Southampton was the toughest match till now and we fecked it. Struggled big time against a determined Palace the other day but managed to pull out a win which is great.

These last three games will make or break it imo. We’ve a great chance at getting top 4. Does the squad and the manager have the skill and mentality to get us there? I don’t know yet but all signs point to no, unfortunately.

 

We never stopped, it was just funnier for a while.

 

Yeah it seems he’s done just enough to keep his job but not enough to feel good about it

 

Brentford have fucked it up losing 1-0 against Stoke so WBA need 1 win to guarantee automatic promotion

 

Yeah, true

 

Fucking Stoke. It’s always fucking Stoke.

 

Stoke & WBA; two of my least favourite teams combining to continue piling on the misery of this awful season. Fully expecting a United win and Bournemouth relegation tomorrow.

 

I don’t mind WBA but that’s solely on them playing some decent football when they came up initially years ago. But they’ve been a shocking team to watch the last few years.

I would also be shocked if we don’t essentially hand you the win tomorrow by playing our second team.

 

Your second team is still capable of winning the way Chelsea have played recently. Frank Lampard is a man who, against Sheffield United the other week, seemingly went out of his way to let the opposition play to their strengths in the wide areas without remotely trying to stop them. Wouldn't be surprised if he kept a high defensive line and got countered 2 or 3 times tomorrow

 

Been hearing so much hype about Atalanta. I’m about to watch them and fully expecting them to disappoint me lol

 

I like Ole, and I think it’s worth pointing out that he had us playing a lot better from January onwards.

The state of the squad at the end of last summer’s window was inexcusable, but I don’t know how much of that is on Ole and instead should be looked at as Woodward’s fault.

Rashford and Martial look genuinely world class, Pogba seems nailed on to stay and is playing his best football he’s played so far with United, and Ole is currently getting the best out of pretty much everyone else as well. Shaw, Fred, McTominay all have looked much better under him this season as well.

Remains to be seen if he’s the guy to bring us back to winning titles, but he’s more than earned the chance to keep going at this rate.

 

They won't!

 

Jesse Lingard hat trick coming up.

haha no if we play like we have been with a rotated team we won’t trouble ye.

 

Worst case scenario would be the game going to extra time

 

100%. If we're drawing at 89 minutes, we need to stick it in our own net.

 

Boy oh boy, Coutinho's stock has fallen further than I thought. Arsenal fans seem up in arms at the prospect of him joining them. A few of them are quoting his wages as being the issue, which I understand, but there's others completely writing off his ability which is quite ridiculous.

 

Yep...

 

Norwich might as well go home now.

 

9 men before half time is crazy.

 

most fun team in all of Europe. Highest scorers I think too. My ideal CL winner.

 

Also AUUUUUUUUBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

We should be 3-0 up.
