We’ll agree to disagree then. You are wrong about the players. In my humble match going fan opinion.
Crowd were right behind Pogba. James Has electric pace and will terrorise defences this season and we are 3games in.
Truly awful season? No sorry that’s b
ks for me. These lads will come good. Apart from Lingard. League is beyond us but that’s not news. I’m not calling a truly awful season so early. I saw some real promise today ruined by a despicable refs performance.
My glass as ever is half full though.
It’s a strange one because I’m more optimistic than usual, but only for the medium term (2-3 years). I see us being very poor this season but much better next, assuming we buy a fCrowd were right behind Pogba. James Has electric pace and will terrorise defences this season and we are 3games in.

king striker and a CM.I just cannot see us scoring anything like enough goals to compete for places 3-5 in the league. I really hope I am wrong. But we look extremely light up front.

That's assuming the club has the patience to stick with OGS; the "Ole out" brigade are very vocal at the moment. IMO he needs at least this season and the next; yet another sacking will not help matters.
Which is ridiculous - the club are obviously looking for the slow and deliberate build and some supporters can't stand what is going to be served up in the interim.ks. He’ll get time. Not a single fan I was sat near yesterday was calling for Ole’s head. But it is a the fking biggest stadium in the premier league so I can’t hear everyone. And it was pretty quiet when palace got their second.

Keep the faith mate. Palace benefited from a disgraceful ref, a mistake from Lindelof then put everyone behind the ball. We were going all out after James scores and had AWB not been scandalously booked for his first infringement that match winning attack would have played out differently.
Bit disrespectful to be still blaming the ref.You lot were dreadful yesterday, and have been shocking for months. Putting 4 past Chelsea u21's just papered over the cracks.
A lack of effort/comedy defending from your team cost you the game in the end, not the ref.
He was the least of your problems.

Dreadful? Did you watch the full game? Certainly disappointing but a ridiculous statement to make. You lot were dreadful yesterday, and have been shocking for months. Putting 4 past Chelsea u21's just papered over the cracks.

It wasn’t a dreadful performance at all. Some poor finishing, but Palace were extremely lucky to win the game. The ref was also absolutely diabolical.

Both goals for Palace was shocking defending, but don’t let that mask the poor refereeing.

Never mind how crap you are.
What is this throbber playing at.He had just equalised at home to fking Crystal Palace,not scored the winner in a major final.
Moron. You not James.What is this throbber playing at.He had just equalised at home to f
king Crystal Palace,not scored the winner in a major final.He was fantastic yesterday and not a single replay of his yellow vindicates the refs decision. He was wrong throughout the game. Appalling ref.
He scored a beauty in front of the Stretford End in his first full game at old Trafford with minutes left. Not many footballers do that. He can celebrate how he likes.
This is a 2 year rebuild and it’s going f
king well as far as I’m concerned despite yesterday’s result. Please keep mocking us and writing us off.
Look at that s
te spurs have just served up. United will be comfortably in top four this season and that’s huge progress.k me General Price give the kid a break. Just scored a great goal at Old Trafford, let him celebrate how the fk he wants. GTO-3R said:
We are certainly lacking some midfield creation and guile. Lingard seems to be stuck in a rut. Time to try someone else while retaining the current stable team selection which appears to be settling in together. And we need one striker as a main scorer and for cover. Two big pieces of the jigsaw, or find from within the squad as it is. wjb said:
Embarrassing? Ok.
The fact that you lot are more worried about my (fairly accurate) comments, and the refs performance, than your own issues on the pitch says it all.
Like I said, Southampton away is massive for you now, you don't have to agree with me though, just my opinion.
We know we still have a lot of work to do, the summer was good to recruit in areas we desperately needed but still more needed. Us United fans know we are a work in progress, doesn’t stop the WUMs coming on the forum. The fact that you lot are more worried about my (fairly accurate) comments, and the refs performance, than your own issues on the pitch says it all.

The hilarious thing is you having to come here to feel self important and to feel we should listen to you and your "fairly accurate" comments as you like to call them. Don't waste your breath, people have their own thoughts and opinions.The fact that you lot are more worried about my (fairly accurate) comments, and the refs performance, than your own issues on the pitch says it all.

Football fans will always be interested in with what happens at utd, you're one of, if not the biggest club in the world.
Not sure where 'obsessed' comes from, see it all the time on here, such a strange comment.
As in on many other club threads also, daily, where the main topic often seems to be us, even when you've won yourselves. Not sure where 'obsessed' comes from, see it all the time on here, such a strange comment.
Anyhoo, bed beckons, and another red hot day looming tomorrow!

Saw this on Reddit the other day:In the last 6 years, Adam Johnson has notched up more Premier League assists than Jesse Lingard. Adam Johnson has been in prison for 3 years.

You didn't create a clear chance worthy of the name, hence Guita barely having a save to make
Lots of the ball, but did nothing with it
We got some decisions we might not have expected to, but there was nothing lucky about the win, it was well deserved. We created the better clear cut chances and looked more dangerous on the break than you ever did (fortunately)
Employing OGS to mange one of the biggest clubs in world football is an utterly bizarre decision, bloke is clueless, as he showed at Cardiff
3 wins in 15, keep it up Ole,
