Official Match Thread. Man Utd V Burnley 3pm

Watching those players in the tunnel five minutes before match time tells you all you need to know about the new flimsy United. All they give a £#%&! about is hugging, kissing, joking and £#%&!ing around. Probably composing their post match tweets in their heads.

Is it any wonder you start the match that way when you’re not even thinking about the game until the whistle blows? This is such fundamental stuff - the stuff you teach kids at 10 - that I can’t believe you’d even be saying it about professional players.

I genuinely don't understand!

Because anyone that has any pace has no £#%&!ing brains.

Nani, Welbeck, Di María, Martial, Rashford, it's all the same.

STOP.

Mary Poppins on the beeb.

Aren't the vast majority of teams like that now, though?

Its just the way of the world

True..

Give him the worst squad he’s ever had, and rely totally on his ability to pick a player to fix it and lo and behold.. you’re up shit creek.

This.

Maybe this is the price we pay for the days we had.

City have changed everything with their oil billions.

Look at the table, we're a point ahead of the Abramovic multimillionaire's and their super Italian manager, we're ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool with their rich Americans and the best /French /German managers in the world. Spurs will never finish above us this season. Take the oil money out if the equation and we'd probably win the league.

Imagine Keane, GNev, Giggs, Eric, cole etc etc... just not happening

Only absolute focus

before jose goes he should show the door to about 8-9 of the players that were out there the last 3-4 matches. they don't give a £#%&! anymore about united.

Season before Keane kicked off at Vieira in the tunnel

Vieira "just smile"

Keane "I'd smile if we were ten points clear but we're not"

Not there to smile. There to win.

Then offered him out the next season

For someone like him now

And if my auntie had a beard she would be my uncle, as the saying goes.

City HAVE changed everything, but until that glorious day when they are busted for mass doping, we just have to adapt to it as best we can. And at the moment, we aren't doing it very well

So the EPL now becomes the second Scottish PL as with Celtic winning every year and City going after that 70 whatever game win run now that looks exciting.

I’d put him in the team right now. We carry two or three every game anyway so what’s the difference?

90m on pogs - 70m on lukaku , 30m on shaw. 200m in 3 players on the pitch today and none were good. £#%&! city's money. we've spent loads

But, how long can you keep that narrative up before you realise some of these players just shouldn't be playing for Manchester United?

..Mourinho can £#%&! off as well. The Fellaini-loving miserable #@&%!.

The players narrative would have more weight if the players Mourinho bought weren’t so shit.

They can afford for some of their signings to be sub-optimal.

We can't.

One of ours to be optimal would be a £#%&!ing start.

“Not spent enough” in the press conference after.

The same manager who said we could & would compete for that title in August now saying “more” needed.

Whilst he’s right this squad is £#%&!ing shite, the timing is completely wrong. We’ve dropped points at home to Burnley, after two shocking results before and on the back of 2/3 poor home peformances. We’re miles behind and he’s looking for excuses.
