Another delicious irony yesterday…

 

Of all the ex-Ajax players on display yesterday, the only one who was any good played for us in Gravenberch. 

 

I've also lost track of who they have playing for them, I'd never heard of their striker but he looks like a donkey.

That was like the barrackers didn't even know what to do. So they just copied their reserve team's chant!

He was well off the pace. Like when we started Morientes against them.

Did you see the highlights of their Brighton game from a few weeks before? Worth finding...

Loads putting that Mazraoui ahead of Trent, Dalot ahead of Robbo. Fernandez is the one though, because he has moments of excellence they think he is amazing, but he is a megasuperultra shithouse. What a cunt of a player he is. He would probably be the first one out of the door if I was planning a revival of United. It’s the attitude, the hiding, the snide shithousing. 
 

Then there’s Onana (what’s his name?), who is utterly fucking shit. He makes Mignolet look like a genius. His positioning is absolutely hilarious. Watching ‘the biggest club in the world’ have such a bunch of useless bastards is a genuine source of joy. 

 

fernandes and his position as captain is the biggest issue for them, without doubt. 

 

and that onana, fucking hell. Ali would have save 2 of them yesterday (2nd and 3rd)

Ratters in despair - a picture to warm the heart:

 

 

One to file alongside this one:

That club is rotten to the core and has been for decades.  Nice to see it all catching up with them.

Thanks.  Must be heartbreaking for him to see his beloved team turn to absolute shite year after year.   
 

 

On the plus side for him, the longer they continue to be shit, the shinier his tenure appears. (I still think that's why he recommended Moyes.)

 

As someone else here pointed out, if you put brackets around the Busby and Ferguson eras, they're basically a shit team with a string of unsuccessful managers.

[Scott_M]

Can anybody make head or tail of this?

Taylor play advantage (his arms gave the signal) which indicated he thought it was a foul on, likely thought it was outside the box. It looked on the line, which is inside, so I don’t understand why Taylor was sent to the monitor? 

 

[Mook]

There can't be many things better in life than putting those cunts to the sword in their own shithole.

Non-penalty was a classic case of "this game's over, let's not bother with it".

Onana is legit dreadful. United could have signed Pickford for that money and - for all his faults - he's 10 times the keeper Onana is.

[dave u]

Also, the difference in punditry between Neville on Sky and Scholes on the PL Channel is night and day. Scholes knows they're shite and doesn't try to pretend otherwise. He was really complimentary about us too and was praising the squad strength. Kept going on about how they were by the touchline and every time our subs ran past he was blown away by the quality we had on the bench.

arsenal have cast off 3 better goalies than him they could have got for buttons.

I have never heard of that Maserati lad playing right back, and then the Amad coming off the bench. They have a team full of no-marks. It's beautiful!

Former Bayern Munich RB apparently.  I had to look it up.

[Scott_M]

This is beautiful…

Ye the recent Overlap Fans debate thing with Scholes & Carra was the same he wasn't having Utd doing well before a ball was kicked this season.

Where you have Neville saying doubling down saying Utd have a better midfield & picked Chelsea to finish ahead of Liverpool in the top 4 as well in the season predictions. TBH I think Neville comes across like someone that's checked out from watching a lot of football now & is more insterested in his business ventures outside football.

 

[Anubis]

Amad is their next big thing along with Mainoo. He's an arrogant little bastard as well. Not yesterday, obviously.

and the weird kid who came off the bench in midfield. it is astonishing considering what they have spent since seven hag arrived. 

 

it's almost chelsea level unfathomable too. I have not looked much at chelseas bench this season, but certainly last you were looking at the bench (and the number 9 position) scratching your head wondering where all these millions of players they've bought were. i can't quite get my head around how they go into that game with 2 lads making their full debut who they've just bought, they still need to use maguire during the game who the manager hates, they've got dalot at left back, when he's just a shit right back, that lump of lard casermiro, they rely on the kid mainoo who's only broken in in the last year and up front they're using this zirkzee kid who looks and plays like felani's shit smaller brother. and as you say, there's amad too. 

 

and somehow their fans would put 8 of their players in a joint XI!

You humourless fuck, Frode.

 

I laughed all the way through it. The intentional shitness is why it's so funny.

Yes you could laugh because of its shitness, I agree. 

[Engineman Hicks]

Watched it again today and I think the referee was excellent. Let the game flow.

I think Neville knows deep down, but he has a bizarre obsession with making sure they stick with Nine Lives Hag, and long may that continue.

[Code]

Did not Onana have the most saves last season, obviously because the defense and midfield in fromt of him were abysmal so he faced an awful lot of shots?

 

Edit- yes he did.
