    He's 7 why burst his bubble? Two things you should never ever tell a child. There is no Santa Claus and we're gonna get thrashed by the Pool. :)
    There's a fair chance that Santa would beat us at the moment.
     
    This kind of stuff wouldn't grate so much if it was a couple of youngsters in their first season in the first team, it's that Lingard and Pogba are senior pros. It sums up the lack of leadership and professionalism in the squad. These two are our modern day equivalent of Giggs, Neville, Scholes etc. Then again i'm probably just out of touch.
    No, you are completely on the money
     
    4 hours until we get bent over.

    God knows what Jose will come up with. It will be extremely defensive I'd imagine. 5 at the back and some work horses sitting in front.

    Surprised this is shown so late in the day. Usually it’s a lunchtime kickoff.

    Guess Sky want to milk it for all it’s worth.
     
    I don’t care what players do in their spare time. They can go to prostitutes and smoke the herb if they want.

    If they give everything on the pitch and play well - they can do what they want. The issue is, players like Pogba are lazy cnuts. Won’t miss him if he fecks off.
     
    i have to watch it, probably from behind the sofa like when i was a kid watching Doctor Who, its United against the Scouse. i have to watch. i might then have to set fire to the cat, drive nails through my feet to get rid of the pain or drink myself into a happy state of oblivion, but i have to watch it
     
    The likes of Bryan Robson and Roy Keane would have celebrated a birthday by going out on the smash and drinking 8 pints. People should get over themselves.
    And because they put the effort in on the pitch nobody complained.
    There would be no problem with his antics of an 8 year old if he or the club were actually performing on the pitch.
     
    Given the respective managers, players, form and attitudes of the two clubs toward success on the football pitch, this is a minimum 3-4 goal margin of loss for us.

    It will look really good after we get dicked today

    It is totally irrelevant.

    They can only train for so many hours a day, and afterwards they have to relax. If this the way they choose to relax, what business is it of ours?

    Like someone else mentioned, do you think they should wear sack cloth and ashes and sit with head bowed all the time?
     
    Strangely Im actually looking forward to this game and not nervous at all, which I used to be in the past when we played pool. I have zero expectations and fully expect us to lose, so a win would be a welcome surprise.
    Yeah me too, strangely calm about this one. We'll play shite football, but I think we'll come with a point or maybe even 3. The last bit assuming Lukaku doesn't start.
     
    He's 7 why burst his bubble? Two things you should never ever tell a child. There is no Santa Claus and we're gonna get thrashed by the Pool. :)

    He is such a helpful kid. He has the league standings more or less memorized and keeps reminding me several times a day.
     
    I wouldn't put it past us to win today, would make about as much sense as anything else we've done this year! But honestly, I've no idea how we'd do it. We're so slow, so passive, so unimaginative..

    Still, as long as it's not 0-0 I won't care. I'd rather us get a beating if it means the club waking up. We're two fecking points ahead of West Ham right now, and one ahead of bloody Wolves! And that's not because we didn't sign a defender in the summer. 0-0 doesn't help us. But we're going to win. I feel it. Jose's revolution starts now.
     

    All good things come to an end...

    Since Moyes left, we've had a very good record at Anfield in the league. We have:
    • Won both games there under Van Gaal.
    • Drew both games there under Mourinho.
    In those four games combined, we conceded just one goal. Today, 20% of voters have predicted we will lose 3:0 to them.
    It will look really good after we get dicked today

    Lingard's birthday won't be cancelled if we lose. There is no link to make and it's extremely silly to even try to force one.

    Nope.
    I don't care what they do.

    But, when your club is in the shit and you continuously put in half arsed performances, uploading this shit is not a good idea and it angers me
     
    And because they put the effort in on the pitch nobody complained.

    When does Lingard not put effort in? He always works hard. He’s just not that good.

    What is actually wrong with two guys having a laugh for thirty seconds? Why is it unprofessional?
     
    If the worst comes to the worst and we get an almighty beating (4 or more, keeping it to 3 or less will be a job well done for this shower of shit) the silver lining is it will effectively end a handful of careers at United.
     
    Two bitter cnuts in Sourness and Keane in the studio today. This will be a long day.
     
    No idea, just saying what I saw. Guess we”ll find out soon enough. And cut jones a little slack. That own goal was down to a number of feck ups.

    Okay, I'll "allow" Jones to score an OG.
    What about the assist he provided for Valencia's first goal?
    What about the goal CFC scored against us in the FA Cup Final. A penalty which Jones gave away.
    There are plenty of other mishaps from Jones, which I have not mentioned. I believe that he has other OGs to his name, which I have forgotten about.
    I also remember that every time he has a mishap, he gets injured.

    The guy is a joke.

    Anyway, back on topic.
     
    Lingard's birthday won't be cancelled if we lose. There is no link to make and it's extremely silly to even try to force one.

    I'm not forcing anything!

    I'm making the point it's a stupid, immature thing to upload when you're club is in the shit and you don't seem to care!

    That's my point! It angers me! I didn't ask you or anyone to respond or enter into a debate with me!

    Don't think you are, we're just unfortunate that one of our more talented players has the maturity of a 10 year old.

    Sell Lingard, and Pogba won't have a playing buddy to feed his childish behaviour.
     
    The fact there are people on here, wanting us to be beaten by Liverpool, just so Mourinho gets the sack, shows the kind of "supporters" that post on here...
     
    Why are people under the impression that if we lose badly Jose will get sacked? We lost 3-0 at home to Spurs. Jose won't go anywhere until we are officially out of reach for CL
     
    Nope.
    I don't care what they do.

    But, when your club is in the shit and you continuously put in half arsed performances, uploading this shit is not a good idea and it angers me

    Correct.
    When things are going well, an organisation can get away with putting up silly videos. After all, they have earned the right to do this.
    But when results are not going your way, you need to keep your head down and keep a low profile, until the results do start flowing.
    In private of course, life goes on and you can do the silly dances - just don't upload this for the whole World to see.

    I've been saying this for a while, now.
    People are under some delusion that we sack managers when we lose to a rival.
    My belief is that Jose will be replaced in the Summer.

    Two guys having fun in a changing room, that's shocking.
    :rolleyes:
     
    We will get a plucky 1-0 win today with 1 shot on target from 5 shots while they get 19 shots on goal with 13 on target.

    Mourinho will be hailed a genius and will fight on for another few months.

    You are making a stupid and immature point. You know perfectly that players have lives, they have important days and friendship that goes beyond football, these are two old mates enjoying each others company and celebrating a special day.
    Your attitude is what actually perpetuates the doom and gloom, you create your own misery with the most silly things when you probably know perfectly that this video is meaningless for the club or the players, it only concerns mates celebrating a birthday in the most innocent way.

    The way you receive this video is on you and only you because there is objectively nothing wrong in it.

    So all the other people agreeing with me you ignore, just to push an agenda on me??

    You appear to follow me around quite a bit on here. Starting to get a bit worried.

    Who knows, you could be standing at the foot of my bed, with a Pig's head some night. Becoming a bit of a danger tbh. I fear for my future :(

    Like i say, i'm probably out of touch. This is obviously what people like to see from our players these days. This is what our younger players coming through are looking up to. Different times.

    It's just a video of a youngster celebrating his birthday with a couple of teammates.

    What is the big deal?
