After questioning Bruce after the last result... As much as I did enjoy the three points and the performance yesterday it hasn’t changed my view at all. You can always bet on a battling performance against the allegedly superior teams with the crowd being up for it as well. Yesterday’s performance was helped a lot by Manchester United being just awful. The amount of misplaced passes, lack of organisation and movement had nothing to do with our game plan of sitting deep and hit them on the break but with them having no confidence and being a team in disarray. The problem is still with us having to perform against teams from the lower half of the table. That is where we really have failed this season. The win yesterday doesn’t excuse the inept performances against Norwich, Watford and Brighton in particular. Two points out of nine from these games is where the real problems are to be found.

I worry we'll be calling him the new Lualua in the future. He's a definitely threat but his decision making looks like it leaves a lot to be desired. Hopefully I'm wrong though. I thought Schar was class yesterday. Admittedly he lost Slabhead when he should have scored but he made 3 class interventions to stop certain goals for them.

I thought ASM had a decent game too. Positive and a threat going forward.

I feel sorry for Fish Jr. Fish-“ I think the character progression between season 1 and 2 leaves a lot to be desired- what’s the motivation for him to keep returning to the garden, and why does he constantly fall over? Without a canonical origin, we’re just left hangin…” Mrs. Fish-“ It’s Iggle Piggle…Iggle fucking Piggle! “

They've spent the guts of £900m since Fergie left and they've ended up with mostly shite. Woodward has done a great job with them financially but has failed in every other way. Why they don't move him to a finance role and get someone who knows a bit more about football in is beyond me. Appointing Ole when they did was foolish, they had no reason not to wait until the end of the season. Whether he's good enough or not there were obviously gaping holes in their squad that weren't addressed. Most managers are going to struggle with that.

Fergie took them on and lost. Who knows what would've happened if everything had remained stable at board level.

Edwards is an absolutely shit journalist like. Also, since when is a point a game a good return? Most seasons that’s just staying up and, every now and again, it’s relegation form

He's at it again.

I know mate, but what are you going to do? I was there today, delighted we won, and will watch MotD for the first time this year (was on hols for the spurs game) . Beating ManU has made me happy, for a few hours. Que sera sera. Nowt we can do, just hope Ashley fucking chokes to death on a fish bone.

I always come first. The missus was telling me just last night. She mentions it a lot....

Last time we played Lincoln in the league Queen Victoria was on the throne. (Don't know if she had a shite or just a quick piss).

You’d written him off

This is like Reeves & Mortimer vs Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights. Not one interviewee can string a cohesive sentence together, nor can the presenter.

Let’s not get carried away. We had 31% possession against a shit team. At home.

Woodward has kept all the shareholders happy by increasing the commercial revenue by a gazillion%. In that regard he's been a huge success. The Glazers are ultimately responsible for appointing him and all the managers since Fergie. They've also loaded the club with debt due to the leavarged buyout in the first instance and then skimmed millions out of the club and stuffed it into their back pockets. They've gone from all conquering with zero debt a decade ago to being a shareholders dividend paradise with no real need for sporting success due to the sheer financial power of the Manchester United brand. They, a bit like us, don't really exist for sporting reasons any longer.

Was that Pep taking the piss, to wind them up?

He did. The stupid cunt. If Shearer doesn't get this, well, nobody else will either.

Keown described the Longstaffs as Carrick and Scholes. Not sure Gareth Southgate is reading but there’s 30 games of this season to go and those two are your central midfield in the Euros. They’re the perfect platform for Mount, Sterling and Sancho to advance whilst offering protection to our shit centre halves. Fuck off, you’ve had a drink

Pleased for longstaff, not arsed about the result

Anyway. Tell me if we're supposed to enjoy our rare victories or not? Staying up or not? I'm glad we won. And a tad drunk, maybe.

Seagulls can sleep easy tonight.

Someone’s had a beer

Good thing is that as much as I hate Ashley and am unconvinced with Bruce there is still enough in me to enjoy the wrong United having an even more miserable day.

Blaming Benitez ahead of an expected loss and it backfired :lol:

Over the moon for the kid. Someone slip Mr and Mrs Longstaff some Viagra or see @TheGingerQuiff and see if he has any of that Kamagra left in his bedside drawer.

As much as I still think we need to get relegated, it's hard to be a cynic on this one. Great for Matty, really happy for him.

By Bruce’s own admission it was Rafa’s plan.

I wonder if Bruce realises how Insipidly weak he’s sounded this week? Rata was on an abysmal run this time last year. The same shit was being thrown at him as is being thrown at Bruce. He didn’t whinge to the press about the players. He got them on the training ground and drilled them till they dropped. He also got Rondon fully fit, something Andy Carroll is unlikely ever to be able to be. I think there’s an argument for starting him today and Stone Age Bruce must be very tempted. If he doesn’t start I don’t think he ever will. But Bruce definitely wanted him. Regardless of being on pay as you play, a crock like Carroll takes a squad place up.

Strewth!

Then don’t fucking watch it.

I really need to stop posting when I'm pissed and forget I've done it

I knew Fish would be all over this like a cheap suit

If it's any consolation to him, he's still a better poster than @t00nraider2.
