liverpool dont ever do that so i dont feel sorry for you here

its just amazing that when you guys are winning your fans love every player but lose a game and you want another quarter of a billion spent
Ehh, a large chunk of every fanbase does that LOL. You think that sort of dramatic **** is exclusive to United fans? Please.

And no I didnt ask for your sympathy. I know your owners are proper dogshit as well, but you’ve had much smarter people making transfer decision then we’ve had. We had ****ing Woodward for a long time, now Murtogh’s on my **** list as well don’t you worry.

Players can be **** because of the manager they have too. If Klopp had his hands on Sancho, I’m sure that he would be a completely different player to who he is now.

Utd spend so much on transfers, it’s crazy. In the last 5 years, the only club to have spent more us Chelsea. However, when it comes to net spend Man Utd are number 1

Patently untrue. The remarks of a few nutters on social media (not you CM) does not reflect the feelings of an entire fanbase. For my two bobs worth, it's going to take time. The running of the club has been a **** show for a decade. That does not change overnight and nor is it easily solved with spending (wasting) more money. I'd be far happier with clearing out some more dead wood than trying to buy more shiny things.
And I'd be happiest of all if we got rid of the bloodsucking Glazer family.

Ten Hag is actually a really good coach for a like player like Sancho. He hasnt been **** the entire season, he actually started the year well and fell away. Dont put a line through him yet.

You said this last year. Sancho is crap.
Well I dont agree but regardless we’re going to see what he’s made of now because Ganarcho is doing more then enough to keep the spot at the moment. It’s on Sancho to fight his way back into the team.

oh, he didnt make the england squad? i thought he was good
Mate I said he’s fallen away and not playing well. I still think he’s a good player that can do a lot better, but he’s out of form and should not be in the squad. I never said Sancho should of been picked in the squad on current form LOL.

He’s got to try and get his Man United spot back first.

Akanji is not particularly good, surprised Pep starts him so often

Just a Championship update - my Baggies have now won three on the trot with clean sheets in all three games against Blackpool, QPR and Stoke City. New coach Carlos Corberan seems to be working wonders.

If you like spectacular goals, check out the one Brandon Thomas-Asante scored against Stoke City on Saturday. It's a cracker!

We are now out of the relegation zone and Corberan now has the World Cup period to get his systems thoroughly ingrained. He'll have a full squad to work with as well.

No way are we out of the poo, anything can happen but it's 500% better than the **** we had to endure under Steve Bruce.

Everyone involved would be wishing Ronaldo transferred to City. Except for City of course, who now have Haaland.

They must be pissing themselves laughing

Nah I haven’t got regrets that they signed him. He was our leading scorer last season and probably our best player.

Only regret I have is that he wasn’t moved on in the pre season when it was clear he wanted out.

I would of let him go without a transfer fee (because its stupid and petty to expect a club to take on his monster contract and pay a token small fee, which is what the Glazers tried and failed to get potential suitors to do). Used a lot of the money I would of saved on his monster wages to bring a mid priced option like Scamacca, Gakpo or Toney in and let Ten Hag develop him.

Ronaldo has been officially released from his contract. Had to happen, there was no way back for him after that interview.
It was inevitable. We'll see where he ends up next. I think it really depends on his expectations and if he puts football or money first.

West Brom come from behind to win at Sunderland this morning 2-1.

Nothing totally remarkable in that except that Tom Rogic got on the scoresheet for the first time in a Baggies shirt. And the goal was an absolute beauty! From the edge of the box he curled one in off the side of his foot.

He was on the bench to begin with but came on around the 60th minute with the score 1-0 to Sunderland. Totally changed the game and brought the Baggies back into it. He's now starting to show more of what he can do.
