mate, the girls sound like they’re doing an amazing job!! Keep that up. The younger sibling is often better than the older one. Girls’ football isn’t as popular here as much as it is in America, so not sure if I’ll get my daughter into it unless she’s showing a passion for it.

The younger sibling theory goes out the window with my boys. My 5 year-old is by far the worst athlete in the family. He shows no interest and just jogs alongside the pack.

I think I've accepted now that we're never gonna hammer anyone in the near future. Every game we play is difficult regardless of how shite the opposition is.

It's disheartening to see that even with a new manager I like, we're still basically a gong and dash counter attacking team.

That's not a problem if you make it work properly and hammer minnows 4-0 without breaking a sweat.

We don't. We struggle while doing it.

Gonna be a slog of a season. 3pts will do I guess.

Ronaldo is done isn't he.

January, we need to let him go SOMEHOW however it happens, it has to happen. Then we need to sign a CF. It HAS to happen but I suspect it won't.

We might get rid of him but we definitely won't replace him til next summer.

Martial will have a good run then get injured again by Jan and guarantee we'll be playing Elanga at 9 for the rest of the season.

Sancho needs benching for a while. Lad is looking like a ripoff now, I gave him benefit of the doubt last season, couple of goals this season but 9/10 he's non existent. Massive concerns there.

Tough game Sunday, Everton are shit but durable shit, could easily see a 0-0 or 1-1 draw there.

I’ve already read rumors that there’s going to be no money available in January. Understandable, given we wasted €100 M on Antony.

I had the game on in my procedure suite. I caught bits and pieces of the game. Ronaldo had a nice assist but also should have scored at least 2.

I was hoping Sancho would come good under a proper manager, but it’s starting to look like he’s ready to take his place in the Dortmund flop category alongside Mhki and Kagawa.

I won’t be surprised to see United lose to Everton. Their strongest side nearly lost to a team from Cyprus with a washed up “American” in the lineup.

I'm thinking a low scoring deaw at Everton. We're a stinking team overall. A few great players surrounded by average lads. Slog of a season incoming.

Who are the few great players, in your opinion?

For me, on current form, the highest praise I cold give anyone is decent.

Got to the point the fan channels think likes of Erikksen, McT and Martinez have had really good starts to the season, which is pushing it far too far.

I don’t think the team is much better than last year and is still one of the worst United teams since the 80s.

Agree. Even in that mini run we were still pretty poor, truth be told. Still far too much dead wood in the squad.

I’m not convinced about any of our recent signings neither. Would not be surprised if they end up a rinse/repeat of likes of Depay, Schweinsteiger, Shaw, Blind, Pogba, Rojo etc etc. Early optimism, medium term denial, followed by acceptance they became the dreaded 7/10ers

I like Martinez. United fans looking at him like a second coming of Vidic, though, while critics have completely written him off for his height. He’s an upgrade on Maguire, and I think he can form a formidable partnership with Varane (if he can stay healthy for more than 3 games in a row). The midfield and full backs still suck, though. Prime Rio would be struggling not to get roasted in this squad.

My biggest gripe about Martinez is he’s erratic in the box and will likely give up a few more penalties this season. He was lucky to not give one up today.

From most Ajax sources I read prior to the season, Antony’s got brilliant foot skills but lacks any sort of consistency. I looks like they were spot on, and United paid €60M over his true value.

Malacia has looked really poor in the last couple of games. Still young, but not a convincing upgrade on Shaw.

Sancho started the season looking like he could turn things around but has looked useless lately. The front line is crap, and it will likely get even weaker when Ronaldo leaves in January and Martial gets injured for the remainder of the season.

As for Eriksen, the people saying he’s everything Pogba was supposed to be are getting way ahead of themselves. He just stands out because he’s been better than everyone playing lousy around him.

Concur almost entirely. Though we definitely should have cut the chord with Ronaldo.

de Gea been given that 350k p/w contract, low key could be up there with Sanchez as our worst piece of business. He’s been the one consistent these last 10 years. I wonder if he’s actually been the biggest problem, but gets away with it because of his “glamour saves” and fact he is “only a goalie”.

We saw the impact on Liverpool and City when they brought in a top class, modern goal keeper. Both Allison and Ederson have become key players in top class sides. De Gea is DVDs in a streaming world…..hell he’s more like a VHS.

With the time we spent pissing about with de Jong, and the money we invested in Casemiro, we probably could have gotten Declan Rice (or less likely Bellingham). Was very skeptical about that one, but thought we’d at least get a couple of seasons out of him. Early days suggest he could be another Sanchez.

broke up with "my" girl ... barelly lasted a week ...
basically told her i didnt feel we were compatible, she quietly agreed ... nuff said, right ?!
missing a woman´s touch tbh, but yeah, i guess it wasnt meant to be !? i have a tendency to crash and burn, and even tho i was enjoying being with her, its better to avoid a train wreck sooner than later .

fuck everything

and Daspy was right, im not a stable person. But i wish her well, and may she find a guy who is really worth her while, and that treats her well, as she deserves.

Best of luck to you as well, gents.
