Monumental bottlejob is being 1 point ahead with 13 games left? Calm down.
In fairness it was Waff, the man who only deals in extremes.
I haven't remembered a premier League season for about 10 years unfortunately. Is match of the day still a thing?
Know the feeling all too well.
I remember the ones won by teams other than City.
That's just good fun.
I rather enjoyed the hypocrisy of all the anti-Russia, pro-Ukraine symbolism, while also showing recurring adverts for United Arab Emirates around the entire stadium. Hopefully nobody was streaming the game in Yemen.
I'm a twit
three games in hand and Man Utd have all the difficult teams left to face. You should coast it, it would be a proper bottle job
At what point did "bottle job" seep into the football narrative?
The three games in hand are Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs and we still have United to play...
I just don't see how United and Spurs get the form together to take 4th. Ragnick's not got a clue what his best team/formation is whilst Spurs have wobbled from the sublime to the ridiculous. Arsenal seem a lot more stable and together than that lot.
I think it's in Arsenals hands but not everything is THE ULTIMATE BOTTLEJOB. It's sport.
All of the teams will shit themselves a few times and trip up on the run in. It Arsenal avoid losing to United and then take a win from one of their games in hand they should have it.
They seem to have re found that knack of beating the shitters with reasonable comfort.
Not sure I would say anything about todays game was relative comfort.
I'd be stunned if we even get into Europe, we're absolutely rancid.

In other news, 351 Ukranians a fitness doubt for the return leg in Moscow.
United don't have the goals to finish 4th. While we're defensively suspect, we just don't score enough to worry teams. Arsenal should be finishing 4th comfortably and it would be the greatest bottle job ever if they didn't.
Only seen Keane now. He's defintely a changed man when Richards didn't land in the bottom tier of the stand.
17 deaths quickly became 26 injured, 0 deaths. Twitter is a cesspit.

That's a tweet from a local reporter. Some suggestions still that the "no" deaths is inaccurate.
Schmeichel: "Far too many players are either not good enough, or don't care enough. "
I think it's unfair to suggest that both can't be true.
Who we putting in the "don't care" category?
I don't know. It's plain to see that Lindelof, Maguire, Wan Bissaka, Telles, McTominay and Fred are not good enough to be starting for a top level team. Then you've got Bruno, Varane & Sancho who are good enough in the right set up and Ronaldo who is obviously a bit of a problem in the fact that other than goals he doesn't really do much else. Which is fine if the rest of the team is good enough/functioning but it's not and it isn't so he then becomes an even bigger problem than he would be if he was playing for someone like City for example and his sole job was to put the ball in the back of the net.
Watching Wan Bissaka yesterday was mind blowing because not only is he not good enough but he also doesn't appear to want to run the hard yards to harry and chase people down. So I don't really know what he offers to the team.
I see the worst Juve team in modern history is sitting 7 points off the pace in Serie A with 10 games to go. The presence of serial bottlers Acey Meelan and Napoli above them would make you think in normal times they'd probably easily overturn that sort of deficit, but I guess Inter have the pedigree now to maybe hold them off.
I make no Ronaldo based comment here.
I'm surprised Ralf hasn't been laughed out of the job. Paulp Ogba pressing from the front was a thing of beauty.
I'm not sure if you thought I was disagreeing with Schmeichel there...?
I assume you can't be saying I was being too harsh given how bad we are.
United have a team of lazy individuals. Team Trashford has released a comment about how he might have to leave today without any understanding that he's playing like absolute shit in every game. The point about AWB is a good one and reflective of many, the illusion of working towards the ball but actually just ambling. It's why we get outplayed as we are just lazy.
There are certain footballers who I think run less hard once that big contract is signed. It's the sort of thing you notice at your own club. Willian was the worst ever for it. As soon as the contract was signed, he would just clock off for a year or two.
Keane had it right yesterday. It's one thing to not be good enough, but a whole other to not even try.
I wonder if having an Interim Manager in place is making that worse.
Well it seems half of them had a strop when he asked them to run so while interim might not be helping I think the bigger issue is that they're fucking cunts.
They were between a rock and a hard place with that though. Solskjaer had to go, but the top level candidates they ought to be attracting just aren't available in November.
They don't run hard for a proper manager never mind interim. It's the players ultimately. I think we've not done due diligence on the type of characters we're bringing in and then indulged a number of slapped arses with big contracts (Lingard, Marital, Pogba, Shaw, Rashford). The dressing room must be rotten and training laughable.
There’s definitely at least 10 dead and that was me only counting the naked bodies in about 5 different videos.
Newcastle must have a raging boner to sign Rashford. Howe can waste a humongous amount on a mixed-race-ish black attacker whilst homing a national treasure and getting some solid PR, talk about a match made in heaven.
Howe has proven he can get a fuckload out of previously average players so he'd have Rashford getting 20 a season.
So what you are saying is Howe is at Ole's managerial level?
In PL. Other comps don't count.
Not a patch on Bruce.
I wouldn't give Rashford a chance, to be honest. I don't even think he likes football.
Yeah, I wouldn't want him either. I see no reason to not aim for 4th next season.
If he was taking some absolute bottom end contract then sure but if he left United (I suspect he won't) some idiots would probably cough up the money for him so no point competing with them.
And somehow, he left millions on the table
Conte was out of work when they croaked Ole Gunnar Binman
Did they actually approach Potchettino? I wouldn't be surprised if United wanted an interim boss from the off. Not even the board knows what direction to take.
He'll go to Utd and Zidane will go to PSG
If I ever see Unai Emery in person, I'm buying him a drink for rejecting us.
Conte with the current United squad of dossers would have been pretty epic.
