If not a mountain, it’s very large hill.

I’m a big advocate of Ruben, but I’m not ‘convinced’ he’ll succeed. I’m simply not nearly convinced that he won’t. Managers used to get sacked after failure over a period of time. Now, if unable to fully fix a structurally broken club in 12 months, you’re done? Maybe patience will pay dividends.

Think I just saw Negan in Fred Clause?

As we’ve reached December, here’s a song from the best Xmas film ever made (you heard me). Not strictly a xmas song, but a message more apt this year than any other. Enjoy. youtube.com/watch?v=S3J_...

It’s the ones you least expect.

Happy ‘I don’t have to change stations if a Xmas song comes on now’ day.

Good result (and performance) that for Chelsea.

That arm to the face was more orange than yellow too.

Caicedo couldn’t remember it was him that made the challenge apparently.

Has to be red that.

Isak scored then immediately subbed. Slot cashed out. Could’ve kept him on and hoped for another, but was too scared he’d miss a sitter from 3 yards.

United won away for only the second time in 12 tries, beat a team that hasn't lost at home since February, and showed decent spirit and resilience in coming from behind. And yet there are still some United fans moaning about the players on my TL 🤷🏻‍♂️

Plenty will choose to disregard Manchester United’s continued desire to fight during adversity, but this is a Crystal Palace side that was unbeaten at home in 12 Premier League fixtures, conceding only nine goals before play began. @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social ✍🏻 #MUFC #Amorim

Some of the half time reaction I saw on here was frankly embarrassing. The manager gets a lot of criticism. We’ve got some supporters who are worse at their job than he is.

😂 ffs.

Damn this system. Oh, and defenders making fucking senseless tackles in the box.

Really hoping Anka’s smugness comes back to bite him at some point. Suggested 8th would be a realistic aim at the start of the season. Acknowledges without a midfielder we won’t make huge strides forward. But is absolutely desperate for INEOS to stick a fork in Ruben.

United’s prospects would be massively improved if Luke Shaw was physically able to play at wing-back. We don’t have an effective LWB elsewhere in the squad. Yoro was crap against Everton too, so perfect scenario for me - Shaw-Martinez-De Ligt-Mazraoui-Amad.

Yeo, looks completely overawed. Has gone backwards at the time others are moving forward. I’m not fan of Dalot as a footballer, but he’s more mentally equipped to play for United than Dorgu is. Sadly.

Not really looking forward to the game tomorrow. First time in a while. Was nice to have reached a point of feeling excited about football again. But a couple of injuries, an awful performance/result later, and I’m filled with dread again. Very tough game at Palace. Draw would be a decent result.

@profanity.accountant You still there? What have you got for me?

Toon got Woltemade because we beat them to Sesko. Some second prize…

People hated by Fascists V People hated by Antifascists.

Stadium that doesn’t exist on list to host tournament that hasn’t been confirmed! It’s a proper scoop.

There’s a lot of pain and heartache in the world, but not much compares to waking up from a dream you’re really enjoying.

Just gave a reaction other than anger at an advert. I really liked it. Well done KFC.

Just did a bit of shopping and incurred a £5 delivery charge. Half hour later found something else I wanted, from the same website. Incurring another £5 delivery charge. I won’t sleep tonight now.

What is the point of politics, when the media dictates you can’t address the things that are wrong? Can’t voice the societal positives of immigration. Can’t fix Brexit, despite knowing to do so would help everyone. Can’t question the outside influences destroying democracy. The media controls us.

👌

Have there been ANY noises about what injury Cunha actually suffered? Without wishing to don a tin hat, I’m smelling a rat.

Imagine this’d be the description if his skin was a different shade too.

Shame on those suggesting they don’t take test cricket seriously anymore. They’re really grafting.

United and Liverpool famously can’t be good at the same time. Looks like we can we be simultaneously shit though.

Watching Se7en and have spent the first half an hour contemplating that it’s 30 years old. 😩

Rob clearly had to say something, but had absolutely nothing to say. So he said a load of stuff then quickly unsaid it again. Thanks Rob.

Noel Gallagher, recording Definitely Maybe.

Reeves couldn’t even deliver the budget without thinking it was an opportunity to do some stand-up. Why has it become the norm that whenever someone approaches the despatch box, they think they’re fucking Jim Davidson?

Solihull Moors beating our U21s 4-1 with Ayden Heaven, Fletchers, Mantato etc. That’s why we’re not throwing youth into the PL yet.

United playing badly is good for Bluesky traffic. Because some people are much more prolific posters when we lose.

Liverpool essentially play 4-3-3 don’t they? They’ve lost about 4000 games this season. Anyone questioning 4-3-3 as a method?

1/ Last night really exposed the lack of squad depth. We’re really going to struggle with AFCON as two of our only threats going forwards out, is a disaster. And. Our midfield is the worst in the PL. Shockingly bad. Constantly overpowered and NO it’s not the system.

Agree with Amorim about the ‘I hope my players fight each other’. Would be great if any United player showed a degree of annoyance when a team mate fucked up. We make stupid mistakes in every game, but it’s shrugged off ‘oh well, that’s just what we do’. Bruno only ever shouts at officials.

What continues to bemuse me is that when a team playing 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 or whatever loses (and it does happen a lot, look it up), the formation is never questioned. They just played badly. But dare to lose a game playing 3-4-3 and the tactics have to be the reason. It’s not about players then.

Bad night all round last night. Amorim got selections wrong & when chasing the game wasn’t bold enough. The players were awful too, overawed by the opportunity presented to them. The squad isn’t deep enough to manage two injuries in the front line. And that midfield 4 is Championship standard.

You know when Joshua Zirkzee described himself as "a 9 and a half", did he mean out of 100?

We were dreadful tonight. Everyone deserves criticism - manager and players. But we don’t have to call for the manager’s head every time we lose. The team is improving. But we aren’t good enough to be very consistent yet. I’m furious with that showing, but it was just a bad night. They happen.
