People calling for him to get fired Calling it a mistake already £#%&!ing hell, what’s happened to us?

Imagine living with him.

Funny how Sky never had him on in the early months of Ole's reign when things completely turned around. Now we're in a bad rut again along comes Roy. He might well strike a chord but it's selective timing by Sky to fully milk his reactions for ratings.

Abysmal player yet Ole has him as captain

He's also setting out negatively which plays into City's hands. Go and attack them at least. Give the young players a chance.

Ferie tried that a decade ago with a half decent team. Not sure how these dunces would fare. 0-12?

Youngsters against this lot? Not sure if serious.

Keane is spot on; Neville is full of shit.

Two of them were playing up front tonight.

Who? Lingard’s older than Lukaku.

What other young players was he talking about?

Greenwood and Gomes

Greenwood is a better player than Lingard
No idea why Ole keeps playing Lingard as a forward

Gomes is someone who has the technical ability to actually keep the ball under pressure

Ole won’t bring them in as he’s going to stick with the senior lads for the weekend

that's our sixth home defeat to those @#%&!s since 2011.

Not really the time to be throwing untested youngsters into the mix is it.

Promote them in the summer, get them in pre season then take it from there.

He was captain when he arrived. He’s hardly going to replace him as captain during a winning run, nor now so close to the end of the season. Who do you suggest should be made captain from that lot? He’ll be replaced when he has a captain to replace him with.

If you think setting out negatively is what ole actually wants to do, then you’re wrong.

I don’t want the young aplayers anywhere near these shithouses. Leave them for next season.

6th win at OT in their last 8 trips
Only LvG stopped them winning here

They’ve now won 7 at OT in the PL era
More than any other club

As well as them just being better than us our players have developed an inferiority complex against them

God this season can’t end soon enough

Will judge Ole next season but it’s not looking good is it
If I don’t see a consistent selection and formation with clear structure to how we’re playing early into next season then I really will lose any belief I have in Ole being the man to right this sinking ship

Need to see far better coaching than what we’re seeing at the moment

So he has 1 summer and a few weeks of training to sort out years of mismanagement. Very supportive of you.

At the level you’ve seen them play. I guess ole has no interest in bringing young players through.

Now look at him only six weeks ago....



Poor guy

He looked stressed as £#%&! at times during the winning run.

By the end of the season...



“No, no. Good SmeagOle would never park in master’s parking space. Fat Phelan wants to take it from us. But we won’t let it...”

Can't wait for David Silva to call it a day. He's been running the show at OT since that derby.

And to your point of inferiority complex - that one game in 2011 saw us go from rather swashbuckling to grinding our way through the season. Fergie could pull it off taking that season right to the last minute and reclaiming the title with ease the next year but the roof was leaking back then and we didn't fix it. And all the while they've just invested to get better and better.

The result that everyone wanted, right?

Haven't seen a kick of the ball but it kind of gives me hope that aspects of the media are waking up to the bigger problem. Any other 'big club' would have seen riots by now. Even the vermin managed to whinge their owners out.

I feel awful for OGS. I'll never ever turn on him but my £#%&! has he got his work cut out. The best possible thing for him is that Ferguson is above him. I just hope whatever work is done this Summer is a small step to a rebuild.

If not he should walk. He'd have a statute in the City centre by the end of the Summer.

At Carrington today Keane's comments should be played on a giant screen on a loop.
