Actively avoided turning on the football today because I just assumed United would smack Everton like they always do and that Arse would squeak their way past Palace since they were home. After Spuds also lost, this weekend has been as good as we could hope for.

Aren't Burnely in good form, though? Not going to be a gimme tomorrow. Especially with the way our defense looked the other day...

wait, no, 100%

as Manure cannot top us if we win out

Manure still could have the dommsday happen to them

they would have to finish 4th, Arse and spuds collpse in the league but both win the EL and CL respectively

then Manure would get the bollocksing from hell

4th and no CL

We'll see about that. They have won 3 in a row - Wolves, B'mouth and Cardiff - but they really needed it. With that 9 points, they are safe now, they might ease up a bit. We are going for the Champions League though so no good form Burnley should mean a problem. It's a must W, no matter what.

Dyche is a cagey cunt though, he can always pull some shit out of his purse

One thing I realize about Ole. He is like fans dream manager. Say all the correct thing that fans want to hear. Grit, United way, run more, work harder, care about the badge plus he is a club legend. 

But this kind of thing are just empty. Yes in short term they are good but in long term you need to proper build up, how can we score, how do we want to defend. Otherwise you just sound like pundits.

Not a bad day with the Palarse win and United implosion.

Thought Warnocks £13m 10 outfield players gave a decent performance against the £400m Mersey mercenaries, as well. Will Salad ever stop diving ?

The funny thing now is, Solskjaer is saying the same things that Mourinho used to say when he was in charge. But one got hammered from all directions for it while the other is getting praised to the heavens. 

Also, I might be proven wrong in the future but right now, Solskjaer doesn't seem to be a man of his own, a manager with his own ideas etc. He just wants to replicate Ferguson, from the things he used to do to the things he used to say.

As soon as the permanent deal was announced things went to shit, exactly like Liverpool and Kenny.

Hopefully OGS is as wasteful in the market and sets the club back years like Dalglish did.

He is a united legend and most pundits are his peers and friends. They won't attack him. Plus he is beloved by United fans so they won't criticize him either.

People keep saying winning is the most important thing, yes on short term. But it is a dangerous proposition to keep winning when you keep creating less chances than your opp, eventually your luck will run out.

Our board are bad but it takes some doing for United to "outshine" them. They said they will take their time and think thoroughly before hiring their next permanent manager at the end of the season but succumbed to pressure from the fans, media etc and hired Solskjaer. Situation so similar to Di Matteo back in 2012. And if this is true, then it's really :lol: from Woodward...

If United don't finish in the top 4, then I find it hard to see why would players want to go there when (a) there are more attractive options in the likes of Man City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, (b) supposedly their best player in Pogba wants to leave and (c) Solskjaer's selling point is basically trying to do what Ferguson did. Not even a fan of them and his rhetoric has bored me to death.
