It's hilarious that the best anthem they have for there walk out to the pitch is the Stone Roses[as much as i like the Stone Roses], were as we have a proper anthem with Gerry.

Really? I didn't know that. Which SR song do they use? Knowing them it's probably 'I wanna Be adored'.

Waterfall. It's where the "Ole's at the wheel" song comes from.

It's properly shite, but every time I hear "so good to have equalized" all I can I picture is Moyes "celebrating" the 2-2 draw with Fulham a few years back.

 

[harleydanger]

Absolutely! Give him more money and full control of the signings.

no no, Woodie is doing just fine

[Zoomers]

Give him another contract extension please.

[deano2727]

Glad they got the win. Gives Ole some security and also gives them a bit of confidence going into the Manc derby.

They'll still get smashed all over the Etihad, right enough. 

[The Gulleysucker]

In my eyes, he's starting to bear an uncanny resemblence to Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle...

I know, it's just perfect.
Are they at home on Saturday? Their home record seems ok. No way in hell are they sixth if their home record matches their away form.

[Felch Aid]

Corner turned seems to be the tone on the forums which is how I like it.

Raising their game against Chelsea, us and Spurs. That won't get you into the top 4. Also just to put a little perspective on this they have to play us, Leicester, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs away in the second part of the season.

Ole's genius tactics are hitting teams on the break and as we've seen with a well drilled defensive team they have nothing to offer.

I think the manc derby might be interesting. I suspect they might be able to keep City at arm's length for a while and playing on the break against that fragile defence could give them something but if City score first it's all over.

Nope, away.

Great timing, 5:30 kick off two weeks before Christmas. Manc packed with shoppers and party goers and this lot kicking the fuck out of each other in the pubs and streets in afternoon and then the march back to the centre after the game.

Nah, they're away Paul. Reckon they'll get dicked unfortunately. You'll get people saying its because they wont try or lie down, which personally makes me cringe when I hear that said because its complete rubbish and shite the Man City fans are coming out with about our opponents. They'l get dicked because the game is at City, and there's shoemugus gulf in class.
It's perfect they get the odd win though, because there was a lot of stories about if they lost these 2 games Oleh was gone. We can't be having that.

I thought they came out to This Is The One?

[slaphead]

The commentator on their game last night, trying to make a case for good times ahead at Utd. He was going on about how the signs are there, because of the performances they have put in this season against.............Southampton and Patrizan Belgrade.

How are this lot 6th??? 6th!!! 
I guess the fact that there’s only 6 pts from 6th to 17tn masking their flaws. 
Honestly thought spurs would do them last night.

Managers have come and gone -- Solskjaer is the fourth hire since Ferguson -- a staggering £840 million ($1 billion) has been spent, and largely wasted, on players. Mistakes have been made in the boardroom and only now are we hearing talk of a "cultural reboot" within Old Trafford.

"HE'S EITHER A CLOWN OR A F------ GENIUS," David Moyes suggested to a member of his coaching team after an early meeting with Ed Woodward, United's newly appointed executive vice-chairman, in July 2013.

Van Gaal attempted to sign Sadio Mane from Southampton in August 2015 only for the forward to reject a move to Old Trafford because, according to sources, he made it clear that he did not want to play for the Dutchman. Instead, United signed Anthony Martial from Monaco; the Frenchman remains at the club.

The funny thing is, I remember some on here laughing at them for targeting mane!

They were linked with some bigger names at the time (falcao? Di Maria ?) and mane seemed like a step down!

[Bobinhood]

Probably just confirmation bias but i swear i heard the commentator yesterday say "Luke Shaw is is fat on the bench"

What the fuck is a cultural reboot?

[RedSince86]

Haha in the day of the modern day fullback with attacking prowess, this made me laugh in that ESPN article.

In September, he told the fanzine "United We Stand" that the club signed Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace following an exhaustive process that began with "804 right-backs in our system based on scouting reports."

804 FB's watched and they bought the crappest one at the attacking phase of the game from his position.

[Riquende]

This is the one. Win this one and we’ll really turn that corner.

Hopefully they can play a bit of Mersey Paradise in May for us.

I remember a Manc on 606 (look, I was driving ok?) talking about possible striker signings and Mane's name was mentioned. 'Nah, not him, we need betteh, shop in a higher brackeh'

OK, thanks. 

To be honest, I never realised they had a song they walked out to. I never watch them so was unaware.

I have vague memories of them playing that appalling 'Take Me Home, United Road' though.

If they got six points for a win and two for a draw, they'd still be behind us.

[Redknight60]

Seen a few of them saying this weekend is 'the best chance they've had in a derby for years'  What planet are they on? It will be damage limitation after 25mins if city are at all at the races.

Beating spurs is a good 3 points but youd have thunk it was a complete blow out the way they are hyping it up. It was a narrow win ffs.

A slim chance is technically more than no chance, so they might be right there.

[rushyman]

Time to support United in a game for about the 7th time in my life

Always wanted them to beat Arsenal and Everton mid to late 80’s for obvious reasons so could be higher

But I was including those so maybe not. It’s not in double figures

[leroy]

What the fuck is a cultural reboot?

Management speak for "we have a problem and we don't want to admit that it's us".

[demain]

They have done well in the big games: beat Chelsea, Spurs, Leicester and drew with Liverpool. They remind me so much of Houllier's waning teams circa 2002-03, it's scary. Besides being game-raisers, they are getting unstuck in the same manner against teams not willing to give them space: plodding around listlessly in midfield before launching speculative balls for their forwards to chase.

[farawayred]

Time for United to turn another corner with a lucky draw from a VAR-confirmed penalty after a dive.
