Howay

Nah, he’s of course referencing that but he’s taking the piss out of our situation. Here’s a little sample of his many, many posts around yesterdays game: It was 100% a joke at our expense in the situation. His replies to the post point to it as well. The blokes a complete helmet, as Alex says he is one of those blokes who played for those scumbags and likes to think he had a career that mattered there so belittles the clubs he played decently for (see Bellamy as another example).

Aye, the blokes a prick. He was at it again today: Absolute sniffer. Going to watch the match at Wembley apparently, the club should block his ticket when he tries to get in.

Looking at the rules below it’s not as cut and dry as some are making it seem. The argument would hinge on was it denial of a goal scoring opportunity it seems like, and given Salah was quite a way out still, there was a defender closer to goal and another right next to him, I don’t think it would be a frivolous appeal. We were involved in an incident at one point where the ref didn’t give a red as there was a defender further back but absolutely miles away (to the point he’d not have interfered with play) albeit I can’t remember the exact game but I do think the fact they were a long way out and the position of our defenders helps.

We should absolutely appeal tbh. The absolute fewmmmm if it got overturned or it delayed the ban long enough for him to play.

It’s standard from the media really, the result was more driven by a period of madness from us than any good play overall by them. They were clinical but I don’t think outside that first 20 minutes they looked very good themselves, that’s where having quality attacking players wins you points I suppose but they’re still far from breaking the top 4 themselves tbh.

Result was harsh in the end but we yet again didn’t put our chances away, we’re sorely lacking in quality in attacking positions which is frustrating. Schar had a total fucking nightmare today, hopefully he puts it behind him. Hopefully whatever this funk we’ve been in fucking breaks and the players get back to playing the aggressive style that got us here as we’ve been sitting off people for fucking weeks now, the hesitation cost us again today at times.

3 minutes added is a total piss take

Commentator saying it was a good tackle for him as the replay showed Milners studs go right across the top of ASMs foot

Should have been a second yellow for Milner there

Wilson has to do better there

His eyes were completely shut as the ball come at him

They’d probably not bother overturning it until the day after the final.

Aye we just completely lost the plot on those quick counters and Liverpool capitalized on all of them. Shame really as outside of that it’s the best we’ve played in a while.

What a nightmare this is. Typical of us to implode against this lot on the Eve of a final. Pope and Bruno have both let us down with their cards, both moments of complete stupidity, real shame. Probably cost us a real chance in the final as Karius doesn’t fill me with confidence, hopefully we can start to wake up and perform again after the final.

Bold decision, hopefully it works out but I’m not convinced at taking this long to start playing Gordon when we are lacking so much quality.

Meanwhile basically every player in his squad cost the same as our two highest ever signings.

bobble headed cunt. Genuinely hope they slip and lose the title.

I’m not going to look for the thread that is the source of the definitely true Partizan Belgrade story, but I’d be fairly fucking confident that it’s been generated off the back of Mitrovic’s comments after their comfortable loss to Fulham, as some type of “eeeeez a weird cunt marra all Partizan fans are actually lads fans they hate the mags” even though I’m pretty certain NUFC won’t enter the thoughts of Partizan Belgrade fans unless we are directly referenced. It’s so transparent how they come up with these ludicrous fables. I was at that game fwiw, it was cold and fairly pricy iirc, plus it was a qualifying round. Who gives a fuck what the attendance was though?

Same as this tweet, they really don’t understand when they look like absolute fucking gimps. Special note for bringing up a bloke they care so dearly about yet they don’t even know his actual name btw

Aye I thought this too, who the fuck is going to pay a massive sum for a Ligue Un side? Either way this has no effect on us, all the people wanking off about how Manchester United will spend loads seem to have forgotten they’ve already spent more than everyone in the league anyway basically. I’m still not entirely sure any of it is true tbh, it seems a bit weird for one of these type of buyers paying vast sums for an established side - it just doesn’t fit with the normal profile, unless of course they just want to own one of those profile of clubs rather than making one but they lose out on the credit which is what seemingly draws them in.

Mackems really do think they’re Barcelona or something

Imagine running an “agenda” account for a club that have without a shadow of doubt constantly received favor. Feeling hard done by as a Manchester United fan is like Elon Musk joining in a conversation about not having much in the bank before pay day, fucking ridiculous. Hopefully we see them pulling out the Norwich clobber and whinging again soon. When do these idiots expect the fixtures to be played? It’s like when Klopp whines on, if you’re in four competitions at this stage in the season you will be playing a lot of games and often that’s why not many teams are generally involved on this many fronts at this point. Fucking idiots.

Aye, we’re already seeing a weird backlash about Dan Burn on twitter which is absurd. I think whatever way we go from here the season has been a massive success, it’s almost certain we finish in the top 8 and have a final appearance under our belt - it would of course be disappointing to end runners up in a cup and outside the European spots given the position we are in but it’s still a massive fucking success.

I’ll defer to whoever is tracking that, as what I see from him is a lot of low quality chances generated, or opportunities to create being passed up. A lot of his stats were inflated to a degree because of the Bruce era where he was the focal - same as Defoe at the mackems. Which is why I’m fine if there’s a drop off in terms of chances generated from him volume wise, my issue is the quality isn’t there when I watch as his final ball tends to be lacking. He’s always had potential, but as I say I just feel like he skips past his man and rather than utilize the advantage created he keeps dribbling. We shall see I suppose. As I’ve said though I feel our main issue at the moment is we’re not the aggressive shit houses we have been. We generated so many turnovers high up the pitch which gave us opportunities but that’s massively dropped off. I agree with your other factor as well that teams are sitting off us as well, we’re no longer seen as a chance at 3 points but one of the teams you target a point from - that’s where it was a shame we couldn’t get a Maddison in who would help break lines but I understand the deal just wasn’t there. Whatever the path forward is I just hope we can figure it out soon as it’s a crucial few weeks.

Nothing would make me happier than being wrong about him. He comes across as a good bloke and I have a lot of fond memories watching him play, but on the flip side he’s extremely frustrating and it seems like it’s never going to work in this system. If the Fish is correct and there’s a way to blend him into our system without losing what got us here then I hope we do it and it works, but I’m far from convinced it’s doable.
