Yep. Genuinely think the crowd got to them a bit. They were a mess.

There may just be a case of United showing them up?

Bit unlucky to lose at Liverpool in last season's opener as well.

They did, tbf, but they were still wildly open at times in those games.

I do think Ole deserves credit for setting up the way he has. Totally
done a number on them twice. Any of the managers with a tactician narrative would be lavished with praise for it,

Belisa is the go to manager everyone loves him. Oles made him look a right @#%&! again

it's like a £#%&!ing cult mate.

weird oddball obsession with him

oh and that Ayling lad who scored has one of the most punchable faces in the £#%&!ing world.

He looks like he should be working on a market stall in lewisham. "eee arr, 5 paaahnd for some appuwls."

I have no idea which one of all their players who have man buns he is.

He reminded me of Craig Bellamy. Eminently punchable for sure.

The bucket thing is total affectation and attention-seeking. He's the oldest manager in the league but he's doing this attention-seeking shit at his age

He's stunted mentally.

Impressive squatting ability for a man of his age, imo

Decent constitution too. Be worried my digestive tract would go into automatic pilot if I adopted that position for any length of time.

Agree with armers - his eccentricity is either a deflection tactic or him trying to get everyone to consider him some kind of mad genius.

Struggle to dislike him though - I would if if managed to damage us in any way. As it is, he can carry on being a bucket sitting bell.

From a physical point of view the bucket thing is quite incredible for a man of his age.


Delighted he manages leeds. They deserve each other.

From what I seen on Saturday it was more an ergonomically designed pouffe. I reckon he was wearing one of them under shirt tracker things last season and the new seat was designed by based on the findings.

I do love watching these Access All Areas vids after a big win
Get a real feel for what it was like for the players on the pitch
They must have been buzzing playing in an atmosphere like that again

Interesting that the "singing section" or TRA section has moved to over the tunnel entrance
Only 2500 at the weekend but soon it will be a near 4000 section
Looks pretty good

Where the TRA used to be located last season, in J stand

Bit weird but it's just a trial and eventually will surely be incorporated into wherever the singing area or areas of the ground are

Need the whole lower tier of the Stretford End to be rail seating eventually

Put wooden benches in the top section and you've got E Stand back too.
