Not a great weekend for us but a better one than Spurs, LFC and Arsenal!

Not great? Leeds, Liverpool and Rangers lost. Not too bad considering.

aye, we fecked them (or more realistically they fecked it against us) twice in a few weeks and it looks like its gotten to them. Which is nice.

Seems Garnacho and Amad have been a bit silly with some tweets / X's (but not the X trouble in the Antony way, thankfully). That's not a good look, suspect things will be a bit lumpier now, if that's possible. Ashworth and Berrada probably sitting in their garden and having a damn good think right now about what to do.

It seems pretty apparent some of the team isn’t playing for him and don’t respect him.

There has been a few suspect performances, but I don't seem them not playing for him.

But you're starting from a very low base.

Stop 'raining on my parade' - I'm trying to be positive here!

Are there 2 more incompetent entities than Liverpool FC and Arsenal FC right now?

Why even bother playing today; they could have taken the time to gift wrap the Premiership trophy and hand deliver it to Etihad Stadium, Ashton New Rd, Manchester M11 3FF.

Arsenals run in was insane there was no way they were going to win the league .

Any update?

The discussions around the new stadium development are kicking off which is great. Obviously a long road ahead, but they are doing the right thing to get all the main parties onboard right from the start.

That's good, positives for the future.

The under 18s are champions , some promising talent according to those that watch them .

The stadium and regeneration stuff is interesting, it’s a very long term plan. It’s good that the discussions have started.

I’m quite cynical with this as we’ve had a group of world beaters coming through every couple of years forever and we occasionally see one who makes the grade. I’m hoping we’ve learned how to feed the kids properly so those who get a chance are taller than 5’6 and weigh more than a soggy lettuce.

Agree ,but they have been very impressive and United play very young teams ,the u21s has lots of under18s ,the u18s have lots of u16s ,there is a long way to go for them but the youth recruitment has improved fantastically the last few years .

How Coe has the time for this ‘world class stadium’ stuff what with him being head of World Athletics and all, I don’t know.

Part of the problem is saturating the squad with expensive 'senior' players which prevents youngsters from having much chance. We've seen more youngsters emerge this season and, given the financial limitations, we will probably see a few more next season.

I hope there is no thought of a running track around the pitch
