    He might be bald and bonkers but at least he’s only got one chin.

    Very excited to see this dynamism in action under the Selhurst lights next Monday.

    We're one of the most in-form teams in the league but I doubt we'll be able to lay a glove on them.

    Not nearly as offensive as it would have been a day later.

    Does nobody else who seen the Onana penalty incident think he should've got his marching orders? Or at the very least seen yellow? I can't believe he got nothing whatsoever. It was an awful and out of control challenge proper forearm smash to the mush. Terrible. Someone at United needs to tell him to pack it in otherwise he's gonna really hurt opposition player.

    Definite yellow.

    In fairness it was a genuine attempt to get the ball. Just a really shit one.

    Absolutely. A team that have zero interest in defending are entertaining.

    I'm sure their supporters would be more entertained by a winning team that weren't easy to play against though.

    Spurs are also entertaining. Some weeks we'll win, some weeks we'll ship five at Newcastle. Nothing more dull than a team like City who have 90% of the ball all season on the way to another title.

    The big issue with this United side, that would frustrate me if I were a United fan, is the lack of any real vision or plan. I don't see what the manager wants at all and I've felt like that since watching those two disastrous games at the start of last season.

    Under Rodgers Liverpool were terrible defensively but I could still see what the vision was so people could get behind it. ten Hag is doing nothing to get behind imo, I think you could stick a crash test dummy in the dugout and get the same results.

    A perfect comparison is Ange at Spurs. I've given him shit, but he has come in and shown what the plan is from day 1 and so it is no surprise Spurs fans are behind him.

    What a prick. ****ed his life up over a 1-1 draw. Police charge man with tragedy chanting during Man United vs Burnley

    A 44-year-old man has been charged with tragedy chanting after a person was filmed during Manchester United’s Premier League game with Burnley on Saturday.

    A man in the away section of the stadium was filmed appearing to mock the Munich air disaster during the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford and the video was widely circulated on social media on Saturday night.

    A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said: “We can confirm that we have charged Nathan Rawlinson (25/08/1979) of Bacup, Lancashire with Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986 and has since been bailed.

    “This charge is after our specialist operational football investigation team made an arrest of a man in the away section of the Old Trafford crowd yesterday (Saturday 27 April 2024) towards the end of the Manchester United v Burnley fixture.
