  1. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager / awaiting clarity from the club over his position

    It wasn’t just losing to a freak team, he had them finish below Stuttgart as well, having added Harry Kane to the team.
  2. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager / awaiting clarity from the club over his position

    I’m sure I’ll get shit from plenty on here for it, but I wonder if the chaos ball we played all season was following a directive from Murtough and co - ie. stick to your tactics regardless of personnel available It’s too much of a coincidence that after his meeting with Wilcox he’s switched to...
  3. Club Ownership | INEOS responsible for the football side

    What the feck was that about yesterday SJR hugging Pep while treating Ten Hag like a leper and having a face like a smacked arse most of the game? Its really shitty how they’ve hung Ten Hag out to dry during the run in. I don’t understand why they continue to treat him with such little respect.
  4. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager / awaiting clarity from the club over his position

    If you’re on the fence just look at who it is piling on, criticising everything he does and hounding him out and then ask if you want to be their side. Relentless bitter ABUs like Danny Murphy (who said we should get Southgate but then also said he wouldn’t want him at Liverpool) All the...
  5. Kieran McKenna | Close to signing long term deal to stay at Ipswich

    He's clearly a fabulous coach but my worry is whether he has a big enough personality for United. This is the X factor with coaches like Klopp & Pep. It's not enough to be brilliant tactically, you need to inspire a dressing room full of 20 something millionaires to run through walls for you.
  6. Bruno: ”I just want to keep fighting. I want to be here. My family wants to be here.”

    Word. Some of the posters on here are something else. JFC. It always pisses me off when he gets painted to be a nasty piece of work when he's clearly an absolute sweetheart and loves the club. Oh, and he's also world class. Bruno is resolutely not the problem at our club. I wouldn't begrudge...
  7. Club Ownership | INEOS responsible for the football side

    Not massively feeling these guys so far. They've made some positive moves in getting Ashworth (hopefully), Wilcox and Berrada and setting up a committee to discuss the stadium but is any of it really beyond what any one of us would have done in the same position? For the more nuanced stuff...
  8. Thoughts on Tuchel as a potential United manager?

    He's Mourinho without the charm or the magnitude of success. If we a hire a manager who takes a team who have won the league eleven years in a row, signs one of the best strikers in the world, and finishes third - who already has a history of falling out with clubs and players, the Ineos era...
  9. Europa League Final | Atalanta vs Leverkusen | Match thread

    I said at the time we played Atalanta under Ole we should go for their manager. They were class. Not sure if that still holds true, but winning Europa and beating the seemingly unbeatable Leverkusen and the next big thing in Alonso hardly harms his case. Sounds like he's off to Napoli anyway.
  10. Kieran McKenna | Close to signing long term deal to stay at Ipswich

    I'd be gutted if McKenna to Chelsea happens. I'd like to see him at United one day but much rather we were his first big club, rather than taking him when he's won a bunch of shit with Chelsea or failed there. Hopefully he's smart enough to avoid that shitshow anyway. Brighton makes much more...
  11. New offside proposal

    This. In principle it sounds good and more in spirit of the game but I don't see how it stops VAR pouring over footage and drawing lines etc and slowing down the game. We need automation for offsides. Something that can send a signal straight to linesman to raise their flag if a player is...
  12. Klopp to leave Liverpool at the end of the season

    Oh ffs, who's that Dominic Cummings looking fella comparing him to Obama/MLK? Might as well as gone the whole hog and mentioned another German speaking fella who was brilliant at whipping up a crowd.
  13. Klopp to leave Liverpool at the end of the season

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/may/21/liverpool-football-fans-jurgen-klopp-premier-league I need to stop reading this shit because it's winding me up, but they really are a special breed aren't they. I would have loved to have him as our manager, and I'd be devastated if he...
  14. Luke Shaw | 2023/24 Performances

    You'd have to assume he could only be referring to the ones he's played with, eg. Rashford, Luke Shaw and/or Martial. Also I remember during LVG's stint Luke Shaw getting injured during a game and Rooney walking off shaking his head. It seemed like a really weird reaction to one of his own team...
  15. Luke Shaw | 2023/24 Performances

    He’s played fewer games than Martial… not just over the course of his United career but this season.
