I wasn't a child and the reason you can't remember was because it didn't seem as bad as it is now.

From The Doc's appointment and the Board's backing of him in late '72 onwards, United appeared to be a well-run organisation with a Board that was generally intent on doing what it took to make the team successful. Sure there were mistakes along the way, but most of the decisions (manager appointments and dismissals, player recruitment) appeared to be the right ones. The frustration, which continued well into the SAF era, was almost entirely attributable to United's perennially awful luck with injuries.

The fact that we still seem to be a shambles off the field over eight years after SAF retired does make it increasingly hard to believe that the current lot will ever get their act together. I've not given up yet on Arnold's appointment leading to a Better Way, but have to say I'm sceptical...

Maybe, football has changed so much that when I think back to those days it seems almost unrecognisable to how it is now.

Annoying to see Mata on the bench instead of Mejbri.

Hope Pogba and Bruno will be relatively disciplined.

 

[big rons sovereign]

12' striker? Oh sailor.

Pissing rain, shite conditions, worse football. This is the ideal venue for big Harry to thrive. Any less than one hat-trick and he is underperforming and should be sold.

Yeah, the guy they've replaced Chris wood with is an even bigger lump.
Harry wins plenty of headers, the trouble is they always go straight to the opposition.
Was it against the Dingles he buried an absolute screamer but it was disallowed for feck all?

 

[Wayne's World]

Expecting the worst tonight

 

[VidaRed]

Its 1:30AM where I am, this better not be a snooze-fest.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Well, well, well, looks like CAF favourites DDG, Varane, Shaw, Dalot, Pogba, Bruno, Cavani all start again.
Hoping to see Jimmy McDougal from the u12's but oh no it looks like Ralf has learned nothing starting these losers.

 

[Jazz]

Hoping it's not another torturous night....

 

[DatIrishFella]

2/1 on Maguire puts a team mate under pressure due to an overhit pass.

Huh??

 

[laughtersassassin]

Love seeing Pogba start.

About the 50th time he has shut the conspiracy theorists up when they claim he is faking injury and will never play again.

Always good for a laugh those posts.

Or underhit too, he knows how to do both

 

[Jazz]

Come on lads let's get those 3 points tonight!

 

[VidaRed]

Rangnick couldn't get hold off a better hat ?

 

[DatIrishFella]

RIP Mike Litoris

 

[big rons sovereign]

This is a bit strange.

 

[Anustart89]

Love the lineup. 3-0 to Burnley.

 

[SirAnderson]

Rangnick is wearing that shabby cap again, so 3 points is in the bag.

 

[KennyBurner]

3 games on today and 2 of them airing but none of them is United???? What the hell is going on?

 

[Minkaro]

RIP Mike Litoris

I thought I’d hallucinated that!

 

[pauldyson1uk]

well respected silence , not a sound heard.

 

[rooney2009]

We played well last game
Hope Cavani stays close to the box or in the box and we can get some goals

 

[joedirt87]

oh its Mike Dean, were truly fukt.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

fecking Mike Dean, did not realise it was him tonight

 

[Florida Man]

Will we win?

 

[DWelbz19]

RIP Mike Litoris

Wasn’t the age 69 as well?

 

[Anustart89]

RIP Mike Litoris

Oh god, they've actually fecking done it aged 69 as well

 

[Silverman]

Great to see Rashford with more intensity the last few games.

 

[Sassy Colin]

How can United play in this awful kit?

 

[Massive Spanner]

RIP Mike Litoris

I need a screenshot of that.

 

[big rons sovereign]

How can United play in this awful kit?

I like it, but it's a bit arsenaly.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Cmon team!

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

I need a screenshot of that.

 

[48 hours]

Corner! Is this finally the one?

 

[oreon]

I like the dark blue jerseys. We should wear them more

 

[kouroux]

Crazy how Burnley have conceded less goals than us and they are 20th

 

[Andycoleno9]

Guess who is in Var room? Same prick from Boro game

 

[VidaRed]

This looks like those cold windy nights at stoke

 

[pratyush_utd]

Shaw needs to provide width on left side

 

[Man-United]

De Gea is not popular at Turf Moor.

 

[48 hours]

that was a dramatic dive
