United haven't had a booking

 

If we perfect cloning, and clone Mainoo twice, might have a decent midfield then.

 

How on earth is Martial getting booked for that???

ref had a great view and still got it wrong. Weird. Will be missed though.

 

shoutout Bruno for passing the pen to Rashy but of course if that went sideways it probably would've been lambasted

 

That’s a great penalty.

I dont get what Young is complaining about. Should be grateful he’s not off.

 

Least deserved 2-0 lead lol.

 

I was going to correct you and mention the Sheffield United game but I was wrong. I’m pretty sure this is the first time this season United even have a 2 goals lead lmao

 

This is correct.

 

Mainoo has been so impressive.

 

Would have taken Mctominay off not Mainoo.

 

Harsh scoreline. Fuck.

Martial will score his goal against us even when he can't play against us anymore.

 

if there's anything Martial can do well, it's score against Everton

 

Next funniest result, if Everton can’t get anything, is Everton getting hammered

 

Thanks Everton

 

Penalty properly killed the game. Not a good performance but did decently after going 2 up to actually kill the game off rather than whatever the fuck happened in the first half

 

OK, he's getting a Christmas card.

 

Open for a surprise x

 

League seems happy half our squad went down lol

 

All my meetings today got moved to remote (aka it’s a meeting doc to check and no virtual meetings to attend) so I’m watching AFC CL games all morning long.

 

Bentancur’s injury has been deemed minor and he should be good to go against City.

 

Spurs are a big city club with a world class stadium but they're not part of the status quo, my man.

Somewhat related, but I fully expect the decisions to start going against Villa soon now they're pushing.

 

Thrilled to hear about Mainoo’s performance yesterday. Obviously early days and the kid is still only 18, but his emergence is huge for us long term. We’ve been awful in the middle of the pitch for so many years and it’d be really special to have one of our own break through the academy and establish himself as a class CM for us.

Just need us to bin off Casemiro, Varane, Antony, Sancho, etc. to Saudi for squad rebuilding funds. Hopefully there will be a sporting director in by the summer and a proper recruitment team and plan in place, bring in some young and hungry promising up and coming talent for key positions and build an actual proper functioning team for once.

 

can you expand on the Villa comment? Just curious what you mean by that

 

Villa look like a genuine threat to the "top 4 brand" this season. Dependent on what the line is at the Premier League, expect officiating to start going against them the bigger the threat they become. I mean, if they even contemplate the thought of challenging for the title I feel like they will be shot down. Leicester are a major exception to the rule here, of course. The "brand" has become colossal even since that fairytale story and Leicester certainly weren't allowed to stay there. Just something I've been thinking about.
