Yeah- me neither.

"Opposition supporters must look at the picture with dread and think, 'Oh, f**k.'"

Actually, we all laughed.

"Next season, Solskjaer might aim for a Treble."

Only Treble he's aiming for is down the bar after he gets the sack.

Bet the author of that feels like a right c*nt now. Embarrassing to have that as part of a CV.

"There could be a Solskjaer statue in time".

Is it going to be of him sitting on the bench looking utterly perplexed?

[cg82]

You know you're in a bad state when your ex players all leave the game early. I was killing myself laughing last night when one of the reporters at the game said that to his right, Rooney was there with him family, so was Giggs, and a few more ex players were there.  5 mins from the end, they had all left, the only person left there was Mark Hughes
 

Sparky, there, using his head.

Clearly has his eye on Ole's job.

It took City 15 minutes to plan 3-1 defeat of United, says Kevin De Bruyne

City were never losing that. They were surprised last time but now they know what Ole is about. He is as much of a one trick pony as one can get.

Haha is that spoof? It's like something from the Onion.

Liverpool are having their second stab at winning the league since Ferguson retired and Jurgen Klopp is being mocked up as a ranting Kevin Keegan by the tabloids. Should Liverpool let it slip for the second time in six seasons, they could then have to contend with the United uprising next season.

"At the time of writing, Solskjaer is still listed as 'caretaker manager'. A month ago, it would have been senseless to announce his full-time appointment but a succinct press release confirming his promotion is unlikely to cause the crest of a wave United are riding to crash."

This can't be real, can it? Amazing article - I'm surprised he could finish it with the amount of wanking over Ole he was doing there.

He's the Chief Manchester United writer. Good to know everything they touch at the moment turns to shit.

[jepovic]

Of all the shit players they have signed, giving Phil Jones 4 more years is the most hilariously poor decision for me. There's always a risk with new players, an element of uncertainty, but with Phil Jones they knew exactly what they were getting. Just why? It's as if Klopp would've offered Balotelli 4 more years.

Was just having a quick glance at RedCafe on my lunch break. They seem to think that they have a handful of players capable of challenging for the title.

 The ones listed most frequently are Rashford, Martial, Pogba, Maguire, Wan-Bisakka & De Gea. Now, out of those, I'd only give them Pogba, Wan - Bisakka & De Gea.

 Pogba is a fantastic player on his day, it just seems his day only comes once every 2/3 months. Wan Bisakka is decent enough and fairly young so has a lot of room to improve but he definitely needs a lot of work. De Gea is obvious although his performances have been below par for a while now.

Martial & Rashford I see as players who are exactly where they belong...Challenging for top 4. Maguire is a complete dud and shouldn't be anywhere near the starting line up for a title challenging side.

So, in all seriousness, do they have ANY players at all that would regularly get games for us or City? I can't see any that I'd want.

Being completely objective I think you could make a case to say that Martial or Rashfird to could probably do the Origi role in our squad. They could cover the front three and contribute. All their players would be made to look better in a Klopp team compared to their current situation.

I wouldn’t want to go near any of their current crop of midfielders or defenders though. I don’t think I’m including Pogba in that. Can he be Ben be referred to as a United player any more? Even if he could, he’s such a loose cannon that he wouldn’t be a good fit for us even though, again, I’m sure he could be made to look better in a Klopp side, but only with a real change in attitude.

Short answer is no, I wouldn’t take any of their players either!

[him_15]

I would take Rashford from United, he could be Origi's back up. Oh and De Gea as well. He could be our 3rd choice keeper. That's it.

Honestly, I don't see any players that would be in our top 16 or so of players. Then again, they're 5th, not 15th, in the league, so realisticlly they have to have some decent players.

Also, some of them are clearly underperforming due to poor coaching. The back four is hilariously uncoordinated, for instance.

But Maguire and Wan-Bissaka are just poor. Maguire drops faster than Skretl on a bad day and can't keep an offside trap. Wan-Bissaka is way too poor on the ball for a full back. Incredible that they paid so much money for those two.

[jacobs chains]

That game of two halves quote is very Hodgsonesque. His post match press conferences make me think of someone who has been prescribed anti-depressants and the doctor is still experimenting looking for the right dose.

Ashley Young in talks with Inter Milan? wtf?

[Son of Spion]

United are rotten from top to bottom.. their recruitment is ridiculously bad. They need a sporting director and they need to stop paying big wages to substandard players.

Shhhhhhush... Stop giving them clues.. 

You know they come on here looking for ideas.

Maguire’s torn his hip muscle which could mean Phil Jones starting at Anfield.

I'm really struggling to decide who's worse out of the two of them 

Ah well, I suppose it gives them the excuse that their world record CB was missing when we give them a right spanking.

That's exactly what I thought. If the camera's got that, their fans will be looking for him in (then out) before long. It will show them he cares. That seems to be the thought process that got Oleh the job, that and being absolutely useless and getting teams relegated. Hughes is going for that approach

Yes. Disappointing until you realise the comedy will still be there with Jones replacing him.

Can't remember what shite Sky thing it was at lunchtime but they were going on about the game and how they've got some fabulous young talent they're developing.

He started by listing Martial and Rashford and I was like what??  They've been fabulous young talents since Van Gaal 5yrs ago surely they must be developed now, they're not exactly teenagers.

It's like the Lingard crap, he'll be having a testimonial before the realise he won't develop any more. 

Same can be said of Smalling and Jones.  They were youngsters trying to break through when Rio and Vidic were in their pomp but never lived up to their billing.  6 years later they're still trying to break through.

Oh I've just remembered what it was, it was some transfer shite about some Italian team wanting Young but this dickhead said they need to keep some experiencd in the squad due to how young and inexperienced they are.

No wonder they've been so shite trying to build a new squad when they hear bollocks like that being spouted by so many "experts".

Keep confusing them you beauties it's funny as fuck watching them go to shit.

Wanted Maguire to play. He turns like an aircraft carrier, Mane and Salah would have had £80 million boy on toast. Guess Jones is worse all round though.

It is astonishing that despite all the money they have spent since Ferguson left, they are now calling for the kids to play as the seniors are so bad. Just thrown money at overhyped crap

We all knew there would be a downturn when he retired, but couldn't have hoped for a collapse like this. It's glorious.

[Crosby Nick]

That video of the Mancs off their heads was funny. Someone piped up near the end to say Williams was their best player. He may be a good talent but I thought he looked out of his depth last night. Very tentative in the first half and then near the end he seemed to get rattled quite easily, put in one bad challenge that he got away with, then got booked and still put a couple of sly digs in. The Manc way I guess.

Maguire clearly isn't worth £80 million but he is streets ahead of Jones.

Jones look like he pulled up last night too.
