In the eyes of the board I meant. Went a long way to securing top 4, which is the yard stick they use.

Ahh fair enough yeah.
Well this is the Ole place right? I thought we played very well this game, but we need a better manager to take the final steps.
Yet you decide to come in here and say we need a better manager after we beat the league leaders who have won 21 games in a row.
He often gets recognition for things he does right and today he did a lot right. We were a bit lucky because we scored both goals at great times - very early goal which definitely gave us a big confidence boost and the second one just before City looked like they are getting closer and closer to score but all in all we played fine today and deserved to win. Also, our defensive record against big teams is very good which is worth pointing out. We "Ole outters" don't have problem admitting when he does something right. Seems like some of you think we desperately want us to lose games so we can come out here and bash Ole. It couldn't be any more farther from the truth. He does something right - he deserves a recognition for that. He does something wrong - he deserves a criticism. That's how it works and that's how it should work.
It is a forum and he has the right to to write whatever he wants whenever he wants as long he follows the rules. The result today does not change the bigger picture. We are looking to win trophies and we can all see Ole's limitations as a manager, we played many matches this season there we looked clueless against teams that sit back. Every Ole critic is basing his/her opinion on the collective run not one match or season. I do not think Ole can take the extra step we need for the major titles.

World class manager comes up against Pep Guardiola today.
Yes we didn't need one for today obviously since we won, but we need one to reach our potential. I could just comment on today and save the bigger picture I guess.
Still lots to be played, but last few weeks have been very annoying apart from the Europa league.
I am happy we won, but also annoyed we bottled this title race when we show we can be in it.
It is a good day though so hopefully we can build on it and beat Ac Milan.
Life is almost back to normal.
Who was that?
Feels refreshing that as a forum we can collectively take the piss out of Liverpool again. I had to put umpteen Liverpool threads on ignore the past few years, due to the cringy wank fest on here.
Of course, I think we should have done better in the league as well but we have to focus from now to the end and try to put a good run together and win the cups we are in and try to take City as far as possible in the league.
Agree what I hope is if we play against City in the cup we can perform like we did today.
Ole gave Pep another tactical lesson today. As Usual.
Can someone provide Ole v Pep 1-2-1 stats
When they start handing out trophies for beating the league leaders in a one off game, or most points in a calendar year, you may have a case. But not sure why tonight’s game is absolute proof that we have the best possible person in charge, given how dreadful other results & performances have been.
Fair enough, you can’t be arsed with the PE teacher/clueless remarks about Ole. I don’t blame you for getting annoyed at that, especially after tonight’s game. But don’t see what’s wrong with thinking that we could still be looking elsewhere to take that final step.
I don’t mind people coming in here posting their praise for the manager tonight. It’s the “top red” comments that think one game proves all the critics wrong. How many times over the past year have we seen this happen before it all goes tits up?

Don't think I'm missing any game
Some people are insane I swear, just enjoy tonight, and hope it’s a springboard to a very strong end to the season and maybe even some silverware.
It’s beginning of the March and the gap is 11 points with 10 games to go. Can they do it?
Today was down to Ole's tactics, once again he got it spot on against Pep. Proved a masterstroke being Martial back.
He needs to start working on a way to breakdown the teams with a low press, although once Pogba is back we will be more creative, at the moment Fred ends up in a more advanced role which really isn't his strong point.
But for now just enjoying the win

I have every right to go to Old Trafford and scream the alphabet backwards and drink my own piss. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be a weirdo if I did it.
If we win the title now then it is Ole in forever haha.
Can't see City bottling this to be fair. It is too many points I think.
What a stupid post.
Every person on this forum know what you are! Have a good day.
Yes of course, I was only querying the timing straight after the game, the poster clarified his remarks afterwards so that’s fine. I’m still a bit peeved at the personal remarks made about Ole on here leading up to the game but you’ve covered that.
Agree. City have a very deep squad. We will do very well if we narrow the gap to respectable 4-5 points.
He should get us to play this way every game. We had quick tempo instead of the normal very slow start we used to do.
All the time. Just observe this thread for tonight.
This is the point I have been making. Imagine the points we dropped to Sheffield United, WBA, Everton, West Ham and Palace. 15 points. Of which we only got 4. We would have gone equal to City or above them if we won these games. All of which we should have won.
Yeah frustrating we dropped so many points in games we should really win. Had we only got 2 wins from West Brom, Sheffield and Palace then we would at least be in with a title chance.
It’s annoying as feck but there’s nothing we can do about it so might as well just enjoy the win tonight. Hopefully City collapse, unlikely but let’s pray haha
Yes, bad winter patch cost us dearly.
But I’m tempted to think there are 2 halves of the season.
In the first half, we managed to make up for a bad start and were top of the table knocking off Liverpool who was crowned by the fans and media in autumn
Repeating the story in 2nd half would be sweet..
Wet dreams...
Everyone does know me you are right. I’ve won funniest poster numerous times here. However, unfortunately people might not know you. Here’s a section of your “highlights” for people to peruse.
@Wumminator you leave @Real Name out of this!
How did he end up on there bless him.
Mate, you are wasting your breath with that guy. As you’ve shown by his posts and hope everyone else can see as well, he is just a WUM with a personal agenda. Constant stream of vitriol against Ole and not interested in any discussion.
Doubtless these are just fair and valid concerns and points.
Calling Ole a clown, ffs. Hard to believe some of these people are United fans at times.
