Spent money and stuck with the manager through thick and thin.

Well, thin. Haven't won a single trophy under him.

Be interesting to see the mighty pools form come the 6th Oct

4 games, 4 wins. One goal conceded only down to a goalkeeping clanger. Didn’t even need Fabinho or Keita.

Ominous.

Brighton, into their fourth game of the season, have only scored against us.

3 times in 1 half.

Yes, the post match talk, the radio, the general consensus was that spurs are title challengers now because they scored as many goals against our car crash of a defence that Brighton did.

Ahh, right. Avoided all that shite. Just read the match thread on here. That was more than enough for me in terms of analysis.

First time Liverpool have won their first four matches since........ they last won the league.

Just accept it NOW.

Obviously we're not in a great position to talk about 100% winning a league. But i'd back 2 or 3 others before the scousers. Still too flakey.

Tbf they finished fourth last season, so clearly the league is theirs for the taking.

I honestly don't care any more. A few seasons ago it would have seemed like a dagger through the heart to watch them @#%&!s win the league again......

But after the last 5 years of United lurching from one circus of a season to another I can honestly say whatever feelings i might have in terms of those scouse @#%&!s winning the league, it pales into insignificance when you compare it to the £#%&!ing teeth-grinding frustration and misery it's been for the most part following United since 2012.

It's hard to care about much else when your own club is such a £#%&!ing joke.

Liverpool play entertaining football, same as they did under Rodgers. Therefore fourth and a cup final with a gurning manager = right trajectory. 2nd and a cup final at united with a dissatisfied manager = wrong trajectory.

Woodward has created a poisoned environment over the summer and start of the season by undermining the manager. Ultimately due to the financial motivations and subsequent footballing ambitions of the owners. Liverpool backed their manager in an effort to go the extra mile. Many United fans and all the media are happy to play up both narratives.

Fact is, we were in a position to push on over the summer. Woodward and the glazers have £#%&!ed that over, probably because there was no guarantee of overcoming city regardless of what was spent.

when are chelsea going to score then?

EDIT: they just have.

The bird at Brentford reporting on the game for Soccer Saturday is a £#%&!ing vampire.

Was watching Wolves this afternoon. Very good team to be fair. Very good on the counter. That Adama Traore's pace is scary.

Neves always impresses - we need to sign him up when he becomes available.

They will beat us.

No wonder united are in shit state...

And they have never won the league in November before. Not ever.

They look pretty good this season, no denying that unfortunately. But lets just wait and see eh.

Lose tomorrow and we could be 7 points off 5th place by the first international break

You could have waited until the end of the match before posting this tbph.

It's September 1st
