Doesn’t look like that will be an issue this year though… [emoji1417]

I wouldn't say the league is any way near entertaining this year. Title race is decided before Xmas ZZZzzzZZZzz

[neph93]

I’m not counting any chickens. The lead over City is meaningful, but Leicester aren’t to be discounted. And LFC don’t have a tradition for making things easy for themselves. Still, it is looking promising.

remember newcastle united in their prime in 95/96….

Alexander-Arnold out there with a paintbrush on the pitch. Making art!

The Unbearables!

@louisbosco what did you make of that shambles last night 

Stick by Solskjaer and give him time?

[AdamJ]

Some eye watering salaries in that squad I tell you. See here.

Martial on 250k a week, absolutely stealing a living 

[AdamC]

Pogba on £290K a WEEK!!? That is about £145k per hour the way his season is going  :o

[neph93]

I say stick with him. Either that or bring back Moyes… [emoji1]

In all seriousness, you could go back in time and get a 20 years younger Fergie in and with that squad it wouldn’t matter. As long as Woodward is running the show on the behalf of the Glazers, it is only going to go backwards.

[AdamC]

You are spot on @neph93 - with the owners more interested in making money and Woodward being the puppet to make that happen, there isn't a manager in the world with a hope!

Lap it up mate 

[louisbosco]

@AdamC  ahh fuck. not even going to go on about it. got up at 430/5 in the morning. saw it was 1-0 down, went back to sleep.

tbf, mourinho was the right man for the job. but guess what, he got sacked. the right man to sack imo is Ed Woodward Ed Deadwood. not a fan of changing managers like undies but since solskjaer is already here, stick by him.

[AdamC]

Well said - I am not sure Mourinho or Solskjaer are right for the job, but nothing will change by getting rid of him either.  He has the right ideas and wants to bring in the youth but lacks a bit of tactical nous and seemingly a bit of bite to put the fear into the players when they aren't performing well enough.  The players needs to take a fair portion of the blame as well.  One week they are unstoppable, the next they would struggle against your lot in Perth 

[louisbosco]

if they played the same way they do against smaller teams, perth glory will sure give them a run for their money. they only won 2-0 here in july last year.. 

somehow, the tactics so far have only benefitted them in bigger games when they can counter attack quickly and struggle against smaller teams that are happy to sit back and defend.

[AdamC]

Absolutely spot on @louisbosco they can't seem to unlock a well drilled defence!  hey, we smashed Tranmere today, we're on the up 

[louisbosco]

@AdamC look on the bright side. the pitch was shit, maguire and dalot opened his account and lingard scored. 
4 out of the 6 goals were top bins too 

[AdamC]

I don't know much about him but I am glad we have finally been successful in the pursuit of Fernandez!  Decent buy @louisbosco @manufc10 ?

[AdamJ]

@AdamC Can't be any worse than Lingard so he's gotta be a success by default, right @louisbosco ?
