    Man Utd should keep OGS. You don't win things by changing your manager every 18-24 months. His purchases seem to have been decent (Slabhead and AWB). Performances against the top teams is always decent. Give him 3 or 4 years, minimum to at least "build" something.

    3 or 4 isn't enough, he deserves a full 10 or 15 years. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was Rotherham.

    What a terrible couple of posts.

    If you don't understand the Glazers impact at this point then you never will.

    All I really recall about the Glazers is green and yellow scarfs and a lot of noise which conveniently died down when the trophies continued to roll in but since they've dried up it's back to the Glazers and Woodward being the main issues. It's a combination of all three for sure though. OGS is useless, Woodward even more so (who even targets the players your linked to for example? Seems to be no rhyme or reason), the wages that are then offered for predominately sub par individuals which I put down to more that you're unable to offer CL football so have to pay premiums, coupled with being Manchester United ofcourse which adds a few more million on but it's been repeated mistakes. I think Moyes whilst he didn't get a massive chance must take a lot of blame for making so many changes to the background staff, losing long standing players in Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra didn't help etc and then completely different managers in LvG and backing him, Mourinho and backing him and now OGS who for the life of me I can't understand what he has that appeals to many Man United fans other than scoring a goal in 99 and being a club legend. If you replaced him with someone without the same history that he's had with Man United then I'm convinced he'd be sacked already. Less of a win ratio than all the previous managers, one of the worst in fact.

    But either way, it's a perfect storm (or imperfect for you lot) that's all combined to cause the mess you're in and it'll take a fair while to get out of it irrespective of owners/manager/players.

    Is Arteta the man? I was reading on Twitter of a couple of deluded supporters who anticipated being above Tottenham "(again)" after the Sheffield United match, assuming they'd win it bizarrely but even more not realising that only a 7-0 win would have made that happen.

    Jury is still out for me as it's not a huge sample to go by but equally, he's only won two games, isn't it?

    A million times better than anything I've seen in the last couple of years. Outside of me, Arsenal chucked away points in the last minute and no-one booed. It's progress.

    Enjoyed the sheer look of futility on the face of the victim here: https://streamable.com/ai5fy



    First player in a decade whos name I would actually consider getting on a shirt.

    The difference in the stands is night and day tbf but it's still too early to think it will remain that way. Having said that, I looked at your fixtures and if you beat Chelsea then you've got some winnable games throughout Feb whilst Chelsea have Leicester, Man United and Tottenham....stranger things have happened. I do think Chelsea's early season form will be enough to just hold on to fourth but then again I still wouldn't be surprised if Leicester still ended up dropping out despite the amount of points they've got.

    Just seen these. 1 and 3 are decent finishes, but that second goal is beyond explanation on a number of levels.

    Even on 3 you could fit 40,000 Red Army graves into the space left in behind. He does look a superb finisher though.

    Well I'm not reading a wall of text when you admit ignorance. Your timelines are all wrong as well but cheers for the insight.

    Anyway, rumours are the dressing room has gone again. Another manager unable to tame the insatiable arrogance of the dressing room.

    Who constitutes the dressing room these days? Poggers, Maguire and Matic? Old Nemanja has found himself in a few lost dressing rooms over the years.

    Lingard, Rashford, Shaw as well maybe? The Rashford playing with a broken back is enough to shut the whole club down. Absolutely reckless.

    United don't have enough Character for a Dressing Room. They have lower case changing facilities, and Luke Shaw probably turns up with his kit under his clothes so nobody sees him change.

    Not that I wanted them to, but what happened to penalties being retaken because the keeper was off the line? He was miles off there. Nice consistency

    I don't think that is VAR-able, bizarrely (I think after the various debacles that marred the women's world cup).

    Good that Brighton gave Potter that 15 bajillion year contract when they did.

    Could probably say the same about Smith and Villa as well.

    That’s such a good penalty from Jorginho. Mustafi is something else.

    Did they can the pen and a yellow aspect if they made an attempt to play the ball?

    Pen and a red = game over.

    All mustafis fault. Leno tried to trip him too.

    Arsenal have managed to assembled what must surely rate as one of the worst central defensive corps in the history of top flight football.

    Still a red if you don't make a legit attempt to play the ball (ie just push or barge someone over, pull them back etc, or if it's deliberate handball).

    Is that what they’ve done him for there?

    Looked like he was trying to slide round the side and poke the ball away.

    I'm not sure we do. In the summer yes, but we will burgle enough wins to finish above one of Leicester and United.

    The midfield are all good players, they just don’t compliment each other very well. The defence will always be horrific with the choices available and relying on Abraham on his own is a bit ballsy.

    Having lost Hazard I thought we would be where Arsenal are, or lower, so I'll take it all day long. We still miss him in non-Pulisic games, which seems to be most of them.

    Jesus Christ you have just watched them trying to Uruguay their way to a shitty 1-1, you've got the goal for 2-1, and then you start running it out of your own box with your own player down injured. So naive it's almost ridiculous.

    The absolute state of Chelsea not kicking the ball out when Abraham is lying on the floor. He ended up costing them the goal by going back in defence on one leg.

    It's remarkable quite how comfortable Chelsea are in the top 4 considering quite how bad they are and have been for months. The league is an absolute mess. Hardly anyone can string more than a few wins together.

    The mediocrity's affected more teams this year. City's bubble is well and truly popped and the rest of the top sides are in a state of constant transition.
