Ten HaagenDaz will claim they played excellently and they were unlucky to lose.

[4pool]

Played 36.

Lost 14.

[TepidT2O]

Only 11 shots  against today.  ,A major step forwards.  Fergie  took six years to win the league, Seven Hag just needs time.


Yet another loss.

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Glory hunting cockney wankers down the smoke are going to be well upset.

They've been boom and bust since Fergie left - basically trade off qualifying for CL every other year. This is their 11th season since he left, and they've finished top four 5 times, and finished outside it 6 times. Next season they'll have no European football at all.

I'm sure they'll be better when they bin off ETH but I don't see them bouncing back into CL football next season, or for the forseeable to be honest. It's surely only a matter of time before their commercial income starts sliding too - you can bank on being a legacy club for so long, but they've basically been shite for 10 years and look further away from the top than they ever have in that period.

Oh. So that explains their sjolskaer song.

We clung on in there despite not earning it on the pitch for 15 years to be fair. You do look back and wonder how crucial Istanbul was in arresting our decline though.

[MonsLibpool]

Casemiro is finished at this level. His dropoff is even worse than Fab's last season.

Lets face it, they got lucky, very lucky, with Ferguson. 2 or 3 years into his United managerial career large swaths of fans wanted him gone. Winning the FA Cup in 1990 saved his skin, especially as they finished 13th in the league that season. That win against Palace in the final not only helped kick-start his domination, but it also coincided with the demise of ourselves & Arsenal. There was a vacuum in English football that was waiting to be filled, & that lucky son of a bitch just happened to be the one who was around to do it, aided too by having a glut of talented young players all come through at roughly the same time. Credit where it's due though, he took full advantage of his opportunities & became something of a footballing Godfather. Having said all that, United fans dreaming of another Ferguson coming along anytime soon are going to be seriously disappointed I reckon. Their wilderness years are set to continue for quite some time. Amen to that.

No way Fergie lasts that long today.

What's leakier? Luke Shaw, the Old Trafford roof, or Man U's defence?

Spent 100M on Anthonhy but cant fix a damn roof

[disgraced cake]

This game and a few others this season really does make me feel ETH will be here next season. The players are still playing for him. He hasn't lost the dressing room. This is key and happened to pretty much all our previous managers post Sir Alex. They're still fighting for him. I think there will be a massive improvement next season with this team challenging for the league. Yes, i just said that. With a fully fit squad, this team is better than the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal. Add a couple of players next season and we will be up there.

Talking a lot of sense on the Cafe, tonight

Embarrassed to only beat these 1-0.

A common trend for Brazilians it seems

This lot have actually gone backwards under Ten Haag. Unreal

I reckon the real reason BigSurJim wants the entire accounting and marketing department to work on site is that he got a quote from the builders to fix the leaky roof and reckons he can go it cheaper if he can get Sally from accounts and Tim from digital marketing to do it instead.

Imagine how we feel . Although they do play out their skins when we turn up .  Jammy twats .

They were crap all three times we played them this season. That's the killer thing.

If it's not Mount leaking info, it's the roof leaking water. What a shambles!
They do love a rat around them parts though- from actual rats running amuck at OT, to Ratboy, Ratcliffe, Ratface, and rats like Mount and Shaw!

At least you beat the fuckers...
3 Draws in a season, against this lot, is inexcusable. (I call it a draw- penalties are just a lucky shot for one team)

[The North Bank]

That was a weird one. To be fair you missed a tonne of chances, far more than we did. But how did they manage to score a few against you ill never know. They look so clueless in attack every time i watch them. Even teams like Burnely and Forest construct attacks better.

To think that twat Antony scored against us... the embarrassement.

[OsirisMVZ]

These dickheads will come 9th

[TepidT2O]

Remember just a few short weeks ago when the pundits were convinced they’d kick on at get fifth securing a CL place? Went very badly on every count didn’t it?

[OsirisMVZ]

These dickheads will end up coming about 9th.

Water shithole. How many more billions will they spend in the next couple of years to not do anything about the basics?

We were far to casual in the cup game as we were head and shoulders above them BUT they never gave up . The league game like you say we missed a load of chances . They’re just twats , awful awful twats .

[Samie]

Apprently Sir Jimbo has been told it's cheaper in the long run to build a new stadium than redevelop the current one. So he's purposly letting it rot now. 

[stockdam]

They hardly played out of their skins. We dominated them but didn’t take our chances whereas they did.

[vblfc]

So Old Trafford is falling down and Sir Jim wants to get funding for the Wembley of the north, Wasn’t that kind of the idea when City’s ground was built? (For a failed bid for an Olympic games maybe?)  Wasn’t it funded by public money?  Would be strange to do that again in the same town. Maybe they could groundshare?

[MBL?]

Can they get conference league or is that gone now?

[MonsLibpool]

Can they get conference league or is that gone now?

They still can. If they lose their next game to Newcastle,  that's it.

If Brighton win their last 2, they could finish 9th.

[LFC_R_BOSS]

Why don’t they just fix that roof ?

I don’t think it’s really falling down . It just needs some TLC . No idea why they want the cost of rebuilding or moving . Most of the ground is only 30 years old at most.
