Just as we're set for better relations with the Chinese they reveal that Xi Jinping is a United fan. I declare another Cold War.

Mourinho absolutely loves fucking over his former clubs. Palpable vengeful ex energy.

For the love of god reds, please carry that into the weekend.

Chelsea and Newcastle having two extra fixtures would be very welcome.

Well this IS refreshing.

I love how Napoli is a rehabilitation centre for trautamtised Utd players.

It's a double blessing that Wirtz has found his feet in red because the banter around him was some of the worst I've ever seen.

Glad Macca is back among the goals. I do so miss those cruise missiles he was launching on the regular these two seasona prior.

We haven't properly put a team to the sword since Spurs the day we sealed the league. I'm like a smackhead on an itchy weekend in that regard.

Arne mate, we're trying so so hard to give you the benefit of the doubt...

I think I'm done going in on Slot as it's only going to make me angry but I would ask his defenders, what are you expecting to change for the better?

I'm not sure where this 'wait til the summer' approach to changing manager that people seem to be going for has any recent precident. Klopp replaced Rodgers in October and we were in no worse form at the time than we are now.

Big fyi

Yeah, they're not having him.

Look no further than United to see how massive man management is in footy. The same squad that just humbled City & put three past Arsenal at the Emirates under Carrick were knocked out of the League Cup by Grimsby Town under Amorim. Based on Macca and Salah's comments, we're in the same process.

I'm firmly in favour of getting rid now I'm afraid. Not particularly proud of it but if we want to start haemorraging players and losing out on UCL we can't afford to drag our feet.

Nine years to the day since Graham Linehan foresaw his own fate.

I can look the other way at the idea of Utd being temporarilly good if it ignites the fuse on the mother of all Arsenal implosions.

I'm seeing a lot posts about how Alonso failed at Madrid. I have reservations about him but let's be honest, nowhere but Madrid does that record get you sacked.

Arteta reacting with all the measured calm of a Call of Duty villain at the sight of going behind at home.

PL footy this year is so so bad.

Got to be said, of all the defenders I like to see bisto their kecks on a Super Sunday, only Kyle Walker and Ben Chilwell get in ahead of Lisandro Martinez.

We are extremely fortunate that Brentford, Fulham, Newcastle and Sunderland all lost this weekend. Hopefully United too.

Villa must properly kicking themselves for shitting out at Anfield back in November.

Every excuse under the sun has been trotted out to explain our woeful performances. It’s almost as boring as watching Slot’s Liverpool play football, tbh.

Trump's America is just America without the pretense.

Again, I'm not seeing any defence of Slot that amounts to anything more than 'we don't sack managers' and 'fuck off and support City'.

That was his last chance for me.

Once again, Liverpool struggle to overcome Liverpool but remain unbeaten against Liverpool.

It's genuinely impressive that Trump found a way to lose the Flag Nonces.

In terms of return for the fee we paid, I think Robbo is up there with Suarez, Wijnaldum and Coutinho.

What is happening?

Crazy that the UK is one of the least racist places in Europe.

My mrs is absolutely eating this weird Beckhams episode up in her insta reels. Howling across from me we speak.

This whole thread is well worth a read.

Van De Ven is solid but he's got hamstrings made of marzipan. Udogie would be a better deal.

Me when that british hired goon shot Frank so he could swipe his chopper.

Even before I found out who was playing Skeletor, I was 99% that Masters of the Universe flick was going to be a festering bag of cock.

Carry that into the Bournemouth tie and Slot will have room to manoeuvre. He has to get three points on Saturday.

Red twitter shuffling its feet whenever Cody bags a goal.

Marseille tonight

It's both harsh and very funny that even at 2-0 up reds are biting down on their cyanide capsules at the sight of Gakpo coming on.

Getting a nosebleed thinking about how narrow we were without Frimpong. You can largely chalk up pretty much all of our losses this season to his abscence.

That's Guimaraes out for Newcastle's visit by the looks of it. Big bonus for us that.

I'm in work. Decent goal? I heard 'Coutinho esque'.

Quietly confident that Wirtz finding his feet will kick start Mo's season.

Let’s all speculate wildly, as social media gods intended

Tell yous what - It's a good job we only won the league cos Rodri was out for the season...
