Wow. I’ve just seen the Sabitzer red card incident. How on earth is that not given? 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Having a referee association chocker full of mancunians and now run by the ultimate united fan in Webb is quite a boost.

Wearing one of these improves your chances 100%

They do whatever the hell they want with these lines. Nothing will convince me that 2nd United goal is onside. You could see it was offside with the naked eye without having to faff about with any lines. No doubt we'll get some more bullshit justification that greater leeway is given for offside this year like after the game against us even though I've not seen it happen in any other games this year. If greater leeway was given they wouldn't have spent about 5 minutes checking our 2nd goal yesterday when everyone could see it was onside even without the lines. The officials are doing everything they can to make a really mediocre United side relevant this year.

"Jamie Vardy, your wife is a slag."

 

Stay classy, Mancs.

 

I wonder if the FA will treat sexist chanting the same as racist or homophobic chanting. I doubt it.

The blinkers must have been used today

I think it’s grass rather than slag. With reference to the Rooney/Vardy case?

And i bet they looked at it for about 20 seconds as well after they spent about 5 minutes trying to find a way to rule out nunez's goal yesterday it stinks

If it's "grass" that's OK.

Haven't seen it but would imagine so.

 

The Nunez one yesterday was laughable - they put up on graphic 'checking possible offside' never saw lines go up, then zoomed in and rocked back and forth the 'handball check' about half a dozen times - still with 'offside check' showing.

 

Absolute clowns.

 

It was as clear as fucking day goal was sound, but they dragged it out into a lengthy check and it looked to me like a check that was a mess.

 

The system itself is ok, it is the awful use of it that is the problem.

United are in the title race but I think they will come third. 

 

They got a bit of luck today and De Gea made some great saves. Rashford is playing like the best player in the league - not saying he is the best player but judging it on the season, he's been arguably the best player in the league. Maybe Saka is the only one who deserves poty more than him. Ten Haag has bought well to be fair. They always get the 50-50 decisions as well. 

 

They deserved to lose to Leeds at home and drop points away to them. They didn't so I suppose fair play to the fuckers, but that is a bit of a reality check about where they are. They are somewhere between a good and a really good team. Put it like this, City have played pretty much all the hardest away games. United have to go to Spurs, us and Newcastle. I don't see them taking 9 points from those three games. Arsenal could drop a good few points and they do have to go to City but right now they have a little cushion over United, which I think will be the difference.

 

Maddison is a really good player. I'd definitely be interested if the price was right. I've heard him talking a bit and he acknowledged that he was a bit of a twat when he started making a few quid but that he with the help of his family took a look at his behaviour. I think he would be okay here. Jurgen isn't going to take any shit here. He is a million times more likeable than Grealish from what I can see.

Sheer coincidence that they start to get more rub of the green when Howard Webb is back on the scene.

[Scott_M]

That Spurs v WHU half was not an exciting half of football.

That’s quite funny.

Anyone know why at the beginning Kane’s eldest daughter looked like she’d been abducted from the local shopping centre and brought under duress? She sis not look a happy bunny.

Well there have been plenty of toughsheet performances there down the years…

Oops looks like some silly Billy has managed to draw the line over Rashford's boot 

[No2]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Moysie get the boot tomorrow. That performance today was as bad as Leeds yesterday, just 90 minutes of nothingness, no ideas, no fight, just turned up and ticked a few boxes, if Leeds had a manager he'd be getting sacked too.

[manwiththestick]

I see the BBC are first major outlet that I've seen to put forward the idea of a Utd quadruple.

 

Hadn't even entered my mind but it sent chills down my spine.

 

Let's hope Newcastle (and Karius!) put a cork in that notion straightaway.

[Section_31]

The speed of the mancs' turnaround shows you how shite the Premier League is once you remove the top three sides. If you keep your shit together you can twat most of them.

I'm surprised he didn't get the boot a long time ago. They've a very decent squad.

Their form has improved a bit in the past few weeks after he switched to a 3 at the back so was able to play a couple of the footballers ahead of that. Paquetta was out yesterday so he brings back the big grocks, Soucek and Downes and leaves Fornals, Lanzini and Benrahma on the bench. Tottenham must have been fragile going into yesterdays game and Moyes reverted to his passive self. He is grim
