I have seen this place mocking Madrid supporters throwing their toys out of the pram to put pressure on their players, manager and the hierarchy. Sometimes I can’t help but admire how they let everybody know that standard being dropped at their club won’t be tolerated at any cost. They don’t give a shit whoever whichever legendary figure is at the club in any capacity, Madrid as a club will always be bigger than anyone. Merit over Nepotism. Standards over favouritism. Reality over romanticism. I begrudge this mentality.

Meanwhile at our club we have a cult following of players current and former that goes beyond the love for the club. Faux moral high ground is always the priority even if the club and its standards are decimated right in front of our very own eyes. Clapping and applauding at old Trafford no matter what and if not then you are not considered even a supporter. We deserve him and the board are right not to sack him.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer walks into a Bank to cash a cheque.
As he approaches the cashier he says, "Good morning, Ms. could you please cash this cheque for me?"
Cashier: It would be my pleasure. Could you please show me your ID?
Solskjaer: Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manager of Manchester United.
Cashier: Yes, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers and requirements of the legislation, etc., I must insist on seeing ID
Solskjaer: Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am.
Cashier: I am sorry, Mr Solskjaer but these are the bank rules and I must follow them."
Solskjaer: Come on please, I am urging you, please cash this cheque.
Cashier: Look sir, here is an example of what we can do. One day, Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his cheque. Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racket and made a fabulous shot where the tennis ball landed in my cup. With that shot we cashed his cheque. So, sir, what can you do to prove that it is you and only you?
Solskjaer stands there thinking and thinking and finally says, "Honestly, my mind is a total blank...there is nothing that comes to my mind. I can't think of a single thing. I have absolutely no idea what to do. I don't have a clue."
Cashier: Will that be large or small notes , Mr Solskjaer?

Reminds me of this. Just change "Jellyfishers member" to "Member of 99 and ex-players club".

I don't like that either but we are in very strange times with this club. It's just one big mess and I try to stay positive in this situation but its Man United and the club has done its utmost best to consistently fail since SAF left.

Moyes has no-one to blame but himself. He had an amazing set-up set for him by Sir Alex and he bungled it all to bring his Everton mates. He also doesn't carry the winner mentality that is needed to be in charge of a club of United's stature.

As much as I think Paul Ince is the most annoying former player of all time, he’s actually making valid points here!

I can potentially give the benefit of the doubt if you get relgated with newly promoted team, especially with the Malky Mackay stuff, Vincent Tan being overbearing and just the general point that the squad quality will probably be lower and you’re expected to go down anyway.

What is the worst part of Solskjaer at Cardiff is he looked horrible at Championship level. Compared to Lampards Derby who almost got promoted to the Premier League via the play off final.

Not only that, he was the most backed manager in the window going into his season in the championship and he left them languishing near the bottom when he was sacked.

The captain of Cardiff at the time would later give an interview in which he stated that Solskjaer was out of depth and never instilled confidence in the players. He said mentioned this while United supporters were still caught up in the euphoria of Solskjaer's appointment

We may still beat Tottenham and I'm pretty sure Solskjaer had very little chance of winning the fans over anyway but the selection is horrendous.

No way should Maguire, Shaw, Fred and McTominay play after the terrible performance vs Liverpool.

If he had brought in the likes of Sancho and VDB he may have stood a chance of getting some fans back on side.

Much better and more realistic line up from him today. He’s a counter attack manager and it’s what he should stick to wherever possible.

Counter attack with what pace?

We'll win this game though and everyone will say Ole is great again and should get more time. Its the same cycle every time
 
Look at the talent on the bench

Has to resort to a back 5 and McFred because his system/formation is crap.

But he's talking about the a point in the past. Ole now has 3 years managing manchester United. That is more experience than 95% of managers.

It's like saying you can't hide pep guardiola he has, at some point in the past, had no experience at a top club
 
If there is an indication that Ole is not great when dealing with pressure, it is today's lineup. Chance to have redemption for last weeks performance and goes up with this lineup. Does not matter what is the result, it is definitely very negative.
Gives up all his original tactics and his ideas for media and fan pressure. May be he is not right man after all. If you believe in yourself, you act on your principles. What does he expect? With this defensive lineup if he wins or draws pressure goes off ? Silly, silly.

Absolutely ridiculous lineup with 7 men in defense. This is just inviting Spurs ,who have been playing bad lately, to attack us.
 
Dont really care about the result, that line-up os a disgrace and shows of his capabilities.
