They are in for a few heavy defeats against us and PSG if they play like they did against spurs. Fucking mental all the bollox in the media about them .That really should have ended at least 4-1 to spurs.

72.5% last season, he's usually better than he has been recently. De Gea was 82% last season, remarkably, but he's been well below that this season. Looks like he's coming back to form.

Last season seemed to be a bit of a freak season, some of the saves he was coming out with were ridiculous. Looks to have a reverted back to the norm, an excellent shot stopper rather than an other-worldly one.

Warning signs were there against Reading, a team struggling to score goals in the Championship. If Reading had any quality up front then United would have been left very red faced. The performance against Spurs was basically a carbon copy of when they beat Arsenal 3-1 away last season in a game where Arsenal wasted about 5 million chances. They are shambolic at the back, can't control games, and when they play a good team which is also clinical on the day, they will suffer a hammering.

Assuming no injuries / suspensions, they are going to face Aubameyang, Lacazette, Vardy, Mbappe, Neymar, Cavani, Mane, Salah, and Firmino by the end of February. Could get ugly.

The funniest, and probably best way for that month to play out is for this luck to hold our a little while longer whilst they fluke results against Arsenal, scrape through against PSG before the inevitable battering by whoever they get in the quarter finals, then come into their match against us full of confidence and Swaggoh’ then get absolutely fucking annhialated.

Chances are that result against us gets written off as an anomalie, troll boy still gets the job full time, and we have a laugh after tearing them a new one for the second time this season.

I’d rather PSG put them away. Think there will be a couple of beatable sides gong through to the QFs with the way the draw has panned out.

For what it worth, unless PSG pull out a bottle job, which can never be ruled out with them, I wouldn’t give united a prayer. Their performance in Paris was the best any team has played against us this season in my opinion, just can’t see United living with it on Sunday’s evidence.

I'm hoping the hammering is from us (i want a tight draw when they play PSG at home) and then he changes the way they play and goes full on defence against City. If they play that way against us, PSG and City, it will be carnage.

[ArthurDent]

Trying to keep up here. is Chucky the latest Chosen One ? And is that now 3 of them or have I missed any out.

[drmick]

I reckon this lot finish top 4.

Yep, Spurs and Arsenal will throw it away.

I agree with you there. They were very up for it against us, we’re kind of a big deal. Hope they’re as up for it against United.

[Son of Spion]

But Yernartid have only played one decent side since the little troll took over, and even they were shite on the day, by all accounts, yet still should have won.

If this shower scrape fourth after such a shit-show of a season then the team that drops out of the top four to accommodate them should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

[farawayred]

Mad how quick people are to ask the question - Is DDG the best keeper in the world? - after he saves 11 in a one off game.

His save percentage puts him in the company of Fabianski, Lloris, Kepa, Rui Patricio etc. Whilst Alisson stands alone at the top.

Alisson - 82.5%
Lloris - 73.7%
Fabianski - 72.1%
DDG - 71.4%
Rui Patricio - 70.8%
Kepa - 69.8%

Ederson - 64.9%


Specifically chose save percentage, as Mancs will tell you that their back 4 is shite.

Meh, percentage doesn't count here. Alisson doesn't face 11 shots in a game, therefore he cannot save as many as DDG.

[Stussy]

the fans are getting so giddy with emotion that its going to be impossible not to give it to Olleh because refusing to do so will mean getting lynched by emotional cry-wanking internet Olleh-is-the-Messiah melts. Fergie will be meddling even deeper when Olleh has it full time. things ripening into another short term emotion led catastrophe for them, fingers crossed

Better would be if he does quite well up until our game, then ahead of it they give him a 5 year contract to give the club a boost ahead of the game and try to get the mental edge over us, then we twat them and it all goes downhill.

Performances against decent sides don't matter that much in the race for 4th, if you can reliably steamroll the teams outside the top six then you've got a good chance of making it.

[Alisson Wonderland]

This is genuinly how I see it playing out.  They have Brighton and Burnley at home next two games so they will win both of them and it will be almost impossible for them to not give him the job regardless how he does in the FA Cup and Champions League.

I’d put money on them appointing him full time in the run up to our game against them.

[idontknow]

Wait what?

Didnt Real wait for him to enter his final year of contract to sign him on the cheap? What did Woodward and Louis van Gaal do to fuck up his move to Real?

On the final day for transfers in Spain to be registered United faxed over his contract details in a format Real couldn't open. When De Gea rightly got grumpy about this Van Gaal had him training alone. Then Van Gaal realised his second-choice keeper was gash so the pair made up and De Gea is still there.
Obviously both clubs say the other is lying. United's claim is that Real wanted to back out at the last minute, Real say United pulled a stint so as not to have to sell their best player.

Ole being fitted for his suit for his Knighthood yet?

Just needs a condom on his head

[Son of Spion]

Give it Ole, the Little Magician.

[Mister Flip Flop]

I thought it was a piss take but it actually looks like they might give him the job 

[Doc Red]

Haha!
Top left was a tough one. Ashley Young?

[Jshooters]

[FlashGordon]

Saw their win against Spurs described as perfect Ole-ball somewhere 

This really couldn't be going any better, go on Ed you know you want to.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

I thought it was a piss take but it actually looks like they might give him the job 

[Bobinhood]

After that tactical masterclass against spurs how can they not give it the ole. Telling Pogba to never, ever track back for any reason...its man management, its tactics, its strategy, by damn its the yernighted way in one simple smile and a nod. Its awe inspiring, really. Its lifted the mood. 6 year at 25 mill per? Full control of transfers of course, man knows the Scandinavian leagues top to bottom.

Give it Ole then.

[moondog]

My bum hole is twitching in fear of them never losing a game ever again now that Ole is in charge. They are unstoppable, unbeatable and United. Whatever they do, let's hope he doesn't get a five year deal on £20million a season or they could end up winning the World Cup the way they are going. #livinginfearofresurgentunitedwithjimmysommervilleincharge.

[Something Worse]

Looks like Martial is re-signing. Dumbass move.

[TepidT2O]

Looks like Martial is re-signing. Dumbass move.

I know many don’t agree, but I’ve never really seen what would make them keep him. The occasional game here or there, but nothing worth writing home about.

[drmick]

Hopefully he's getting £300k a week!

[Henry Gale]

Hopefully he's getting £300k a week!

Pocket change for them. I’m surprised I thought he was off.

[TomDcs]

Martial

Nah it’s Uniteds number 99, Usain Bolt.

[idontknow]

Dear Mum, I got on the pitch for the last 17 minutes but I was a bit crap again. Training's going quite well though,Ollie likes me I think, and I went to see his film, but to be honest without subtitles I lost track a bit and fell asleep. When I woke I found Paul had shaved off half of my new beard and pieces of my pubic hair. Bit of a laugh. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to set up an internet account, so I have to use a pen and pigeon to talk to you. Thank you for the socks, it's really cold here. Yours, Martial. PS Can you get me out of here ASAP!! That Woody guy has got that look and is trying to corner me again. He says he wants to tie me up.

[Willi]

An excellent article on Fellaini, although I can't  understand why it doesn't mention his elbows.

[xbugawugax]

Yep, Spurs and Arsenal will throw it away.

naah..hope not. poche is wily enough to keep getting into top 4 and CL spots. Remember..Top 4 is their everything

If the form of the top 6 remains the same, I see Us and City challenging for top spot while 3rd to 6th to be hotly contested. CL spots to be contested between Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and Man u. Loves for Wolves to be involved somehow as well.

Would love to see Man u in europa. Long out of way places next season with Ole Swaggoh in charge.

[Cu Chulainn]

They're not going to finish in the top 4; Chelsea and Spurs will pick up enough points to stay there. United's form will also regress, but they could push Arsenal very hard which should make for a thrilling battle for 5th place. Exciting times.

[gamble]

7 wins in a row, that’s pretty impressive. Let me check where they are in the table now....?
