Very good result against Porto, hope you guys aren't going to fluke another Champions League trophy.

Very nice deal £47m a year for 5 years £235m over the course of the deal.

They have just promoted within with the same people who have controlled United's disastrous transfer policy the last decade and have seemed to have split the DOF position into three. Football Director who oversees all operations as more of an operational strategy kind of boss Technical Director who looks at things from a football perspective Director of Negotiations who sits down with other teams' representatives Unfortunately they all report to Woodward who needed to be removed from football matters and told to concentrate on the financial side of the business. Its a disappointment with the top names that were being rumored for the DOf job. But I guess nobody wanted to play second fiddle to Woodward

Saw St.John play a few times when I was a kid, he was a very good player. I remember seeing a picture of some graffiti in Liverpool, under a picture of Jesus Saves, somebody had scrawled but St. John bangs in the rebound. RIP

Revelation from OGS re @ManUtd game v Sheff Utd last week: "Got the delegate’s report through and the two decisions were wrong. They have admitted our goal should have stood and theirs should not. Even with VAR they still get it wrong.

Ole said this morning that nothing has been settled yet, Lingard's still at United. But there's still a little time left in the window yet. Lingard needs to go out on loan to see if he can get back to where he was. He's not playing at United and I can't see him getting much playing time here at the moment. I have heard that Lingard has been dealing with serious family issues regarding his mom and Lingard's had to look after his younger siblings while his mom is getting treatment in London. The loan to West Ham gets the whole family in London and hopefully Lingard can play himself back into form.

Raiola always shoots his mouth off trying to disrupt the team just before a big game. Start Pogba , hope he has his best game at United, raises his price than sell him.

Just realized that.

The NCAA has a ban for targeting that if a player is sent off after half time he has to sit out the first half of the next game. I could imagine the uproar if Cavani can't start the next game but United could bring him on as a sub in the second half. If the miminum penalty for a racist comment is three games, how did Silva only get one game? If the Silva incident is used as a presendent, than Cavani will get a one game suspension.

I expect Cavani will be suspended for 3 games, he is definitely familiar with the Suarez/Evra situation and the implications of using that term in today's world. The FA is not going to allow the cultural differences defence in the middle of their end racism campaign. That being said there is a world of difference in the Suarez and Cavani incidents. Suarez used the term multiple times, up to ten Evra claimed, and used it to bait, to insult Evra and to throw him off his game. Cavani was responding to a friend and used it in his mind as a friendly term. Still will result in a suspension anyway.

I would never read Blue Moon, wont even drink Blue Moon beer.

Wasn't there some bullocks on the internet about a year ago that Liverpool under Klopp were doping? Some sort of pre game or after game caffeine based cocktail that allowed them to play their energetic high press, game after game without getting injured. It was also claimed that this season was going to be an off year since you could only keep players on this for a set number of years and Liverpool had reached the time limit. Obviously a load of crap, but they have had more than their share of injuries. Plus what was that about Klopp wanting Liverpool players on a different training schedule? Didn't want their secret regimen discovered maybe? Ps. Just to reiterate before any Liverpool fan gets upset, I don't believe any of it, but it is kind of ironic.

didn't know it was covid related, just saw him flaged on my fantasy team.

Salah is ill now, I imagine he should be fine for Leicester , but maybe you should just forfeit.

I think Pochettino is a good manager, but the situation at United needs more than a good manager to fix. Woodward's role and the need for a DOF are issues that aren't going away. What Pochettino wants regarding those issues and how much control the Glazers and Woodward will give him remains to be seen. In the end United might not want to change the present situation enough to make it a good fit for Pochettino.

He's skating on thin ice, United aren't going to get into the Champions League under Ole and that seems to be the yardstick on how the Glazers measure managers. So I don't expect him to reach the summer window, the January one I am not sure. Supposedly Woodward has already spoken to Pochettino. There are rumours that Pochettino is also taking with another club possibly Real Madrid so he could turn us down or be using United to get a better deal from Real. If Poch is the one United want and he wants to come, they need to act sooner rather than later. So Everton could be Solskjaer's last game.

Definitely , I have spent my life avoiding the sun.

Just saw the odds on the final. Surprised Brentford are around even money and Fulham is close to 3 to 1? I thought the two were pretty even. I guess it's because Brentford beat them home and away and Fulham are carrying a couple of injuries.

Its mind boggling how much De Gea has slipped. I wonder if his eyes need checking? I cant figure out what's going on.

I remember Bonetti as a kid, one of my favourite players. Jimmy Greaves is in rough shape as well.

Surprised by the severity of the punishment, UEFA doesn't usually have the balls. No doubt in my mind they are quilty as charged. Hope the penalty stands through the appeals, in fact wish it was harsher and that along with PSG, they were thrown out of football. No country should be allowed to own a football club.

He scored a very nice goal against United but I have not seen him play many times. He plays on the left and cuts into the middle a lot and we have players that do that. We need somebody who can do that from the right. His crosses are weak and so is his tackling and he is not young as I thought. Does he even want to leave Villa ? He is a Brummie and he's been with Villa since he was 6 years old.

I do not think so, but I dont do the hiring and firing, To me he has not shown he has the tactical nuance to break down sides that dont come out to play or to get players to play to their ability when we are not playing big clubs. Beating Spurs and City has given him breathing room and he will keep his job til near the end of the season if not longer. I suspect the board will give him the next two transfer windows to bring in the 4 or 5 top players we still need.

That's the problem in a nutshell. Great performance today, but its frustrating that we don't show up for games against teams we should be expected to beat. Is it that Solsksjaer can not motivate the players to turn out week to week, or is it the players can only get up for top clubs.
