You would struggle to spend as much money as Man U have in the last 5 years and end up with a squad this poor on purpose, let alone by accident. This isn't a problem that can be fixed by installing a new manager. It's going to take 3 or 4 years worth of transfer windows to move out the dross and bring in quality.

Aye, a holiday between January and April is a good shout. We've got a week all inclusive in Turkey coming up in April. I'd rather have it in January or February but I refuse to drop £2k on a holiday and not come home with some semblance of a tan!

The state of this thread man like Mumsnet for middle aged blokes who are dropping to bits

Isn't Rashford on something like £350kpw? Which means they either sell him for peanuts so the buying club can afford his wages, or them try to convince him to move to the Saudi league. They've got a load of dross on silly wages that no other clubs can afford to match

I'm not sure if you're trying to convince us or yourself buddy, but it seems fairly clear you just need to knock it on the head permanently. Happy to share some literature with you if it helps

The camera angle from directly behind is the clincher for me. He's absolutely tried to rake his studs up schar's back and play it off as an accident. Ramsey feigning an elbow to the face rules out any moaning the cunts can have about our players response to the Duran foul.

Gordon and Isak will run rings around this back line

Tell him to send Marco my best regards

Thanks all. He will be fine. The chemo will hopefully make him feel better indefinitely and we can get a bit of normality back. The main bit I'm struggling with is the pair of them feel like they've aged 20 years on the last 12 months.

Been a funny run up to Christmas this year. I had flu last week so was wiped out for 5 days and still not back to baseline. My dad had to start his CLL chemo last week so he's wiped out atm, and my mother has developed a chest infection because god forbid someone in the house is more ill than her. We are spending Christmas lunch at my folks house and I feel like the Christmas spirit may be in short supply!

Barnes has West Ham written all over him. Kudus prefers to play on the RW too. Barnes and a chunk of cash could get it done?

Bowen, Semenyo and Kulesevski would all suit our style. Sadly they would all cost £50m+ so we are likely looking abroad for players costing half that. I really wish we'd found a way to do the Anderson/Elanga deal in the summer. He looks half decent, is young enough to still improve, plays with Isak for Sweden etc.

He's defo worth keeping in the squad, but he's having a purple patch if we're being honest. I've seen him fuck up enough counter attacks over the last 7 seasons that it's going to take more than 3 good games to convince me he's suddenly turned into a world beater

We are an injury to Isak away from being fucked atm.

Wilock has taken over Hayden as the biggest soft shite in the squad mind

Totally pointless leaving Isak, Tonali, Bruno, Gordon etc on the pitch now. Keep them fresh

Murphy found his level

Perfect opportunity to rest some legs. Trippier, Miley, Barnes, Osula, Almiron can all do a job in the second half

2-0 Villa

I don't think I've ever seen a fall from grace quite like this mind. Start of the season: P14 W11 D3 L0 Next 12 (if it stays like this) P12 W1 D2 L9

Watching that Spurs/Man Utd match the other day made me realise that Dubravka is actually a fairly decent 2nd choice keeper

Well I hung on with Twitter a few weeks longer than most, but I've deleted my account today. Historically I've had my twitter feed as a bit of an echo chamber. I only followed football accounts and some left wing journo's/politicians really, and the recommended tweets were in a similar vein. My feed then somehow morphed into wall to wall racist shitposts and conspiracy theories.

Now remove his goals from the last 2 games and do the table again . This is the Almiron effect. One swallow doesn't make a Summer. He's a reasonable squad player, but IMO, is noticeably our weakest player on the pitch most weeks. And Howe knows it, which is why we've been linked with a shit ton of RWs
