The Official 2023/24 Premier League Thread

Yeah, them ManU players. Really honoured the memory of their gentleman legend, Sir Bobby.

Were he still alive, he'd have walked out long before the final whistle. This group, giving him little to hope or live for, might even have hastened his demise.

Even though it'd help table wise for a United win I can't help but enjoy that.

Fernandes and Anthony just running around trying to kick people for the last ten minutes, you can tell being outclassed is bruising their egos so much and it's brilliant to watch, pathetic from them.

Eriksen letting Rodri saunter past him for the 3rd, Someone's gotta tell Ten Hag he is not a CM.

Neville describing old trafford as a graveyard for expensive talented players, it's just all so wonderful.

Who at United's scouting department thought "I know what will sort us out, a LB not anywhere near good enough for Spurs who was perma-crocked last season on his most recent unsuccessful loan". The way they're going they may even buy Sergio.

Hahah the Reggie deal never made sense, madness TBH.

Evans and Maguire is a madness

Amrabat is the Moroccan Freund, absolutely dodged any bullet if we were ever truly linked.

Mount and Antony are just dross

And I've always been thankful we never signed Fernandes

They are an utter mess

 

[Spoonman]

That second half looked like City slipping into gear. Ominous. There were some good results for us elsewhere this weekend though, which has created a bit of a gap between the top 5 and the rest.

The battle starts here.

 

[greatwhitenorf]

If they want a dominant LEFT footed midfield I'm sure there's one available in London for £75m they could swoop for.

I'm sure Reguilon would put in a good word for Gio.

 

[spurspinter1]

No one pours the pisz more eloquently than you.

Do carry on.

Too busy harassing my United supporting mates / family who have mysteriously fell out of love with the game (can't be anything to do with the fact that they're totally fudging useless these days )

Reguilon was just a lateish opportunistic loan because of injuries, but the real issue is who thought it was a great idea to chase Mount for a month and pay 70m! I mean he’s “ok”, but…

"ok" As good as that

RSol tailor made for them.

Racist to even link him with them. Or anyone. There is no club good enough for him. But all clubs are guilty of not hiring him. Or making him world president.

 

[monkeybarry]

And replace him with who?

Poch will be available

You think they scout?
I think they just buy names
They are a really weird set up
Their DOF had no experience when they appointed them
ragnick told them what to do and they ignored him

 

[Sandman]

And replace him with who?

Gary Neville. Let's see him back up his mouth.

 

[monkeybarry]

Gary Neville. Let's see him back up his mouth.

To be fair he'll admit he can't.
Loved the interview with Ange on Fri when he took the tinkle out of Neville being a crap manager.

Agree with all the comments here re United. They have a team full of sub-standard to average players, no discernible style of play, unrest amongst the fanbase because of the ownership, a decrepit stadium (one of the only stadiums in the league that doesn’t have screens for VAR!) and miles behind their inner city rivals. One thing that baffles me, Ajax came to WHL in 2019 and played champagne football against us and to be fair, throughout the whole CL campaign they played football that was easy on the eye. They are crap to watch and have been during Ten Hag’s entire tenure. The style of play comes from the manager, why are they so bad to watch with no plan or identifiable style?

Ajax style isn't down to the manager. It is their style. From youth to senior level. The players have been playing that way from the youth level. Helps they had de jong etc...

Utd have no style. They have a mismatch of players. Ten hag is trying to install a style and is struggling.

 

[parklane1]

Utd are the club i dislike the most and i could not be more happy to see them struggle like they are.

 

[Baleforce]

Poch will be available

he turned them down not that long ago, they are not in a better place since

Neither will he be....

That Ajax team - or more accurately the individual players within - weren’t as good as they were hyped up to be.
