I know they've had lucky decisions but even so...theyve turned it round. They were mentioned as title contenders and there was a lot of hahhah..now however...they really are!

Both them and Liverpool have a game to play..so time they play against each other could be level level..

Whereas we...miles behind.

not lucky

purely corrupt

they have been straight up gifted around 10 to 12 points now by PGMOL shenanigans

that is fucking massive, and the season is only 16 games in!

Starting to get annoyed that we're not in a position to have at least a go at the title...

Its annoying. We had chances to go top even for a few hours or whatever and each time we did we lost..and now we're 7 behind. We're not getting near it again. Most likely 3rd/4th place battle for us..yippee..

Since losing to Arsenal in early November, United have won 8 of their 10 Premier League games to go joint-top with Liverpool. That's a better run than we've ever managed under Lampard...

not only that, but since February 2020

they have the most points per game and the least losses of any EPL team, the bindippers included (as we all know, I meticulous should that Liverpool went into a huge tailspin (huge for them) starting in February)

and that all is even with the shit start this season for Manure

bruno fernades will most definitely break the record for most penalty goals in a season in european football. just 4 non-penalty goals from him in the last 7 months or so.

Ironically, we're 4th on the 2020 PPG table.

lol, the yank channel cut off Dean Smith mid interview when he started talking in detail about the shit pen call

never seen anything like it

Know also had the odd dive..takes the pens..but Bruno has had such a impact for them..unfortunately 

[Special Juan 27,111]

The FA will love this little love tussle between United and Liverpool

[Milan 17,835]

The ironic thing - in the summer the majority of fans predicted or required a comfortable top 4 finish for Chelsea. If that was the case, it would turn to a serious title challenge... damn.

[Pizy 17,862]

Embarrassing and unacceptable that with the money we spent in the summer and the talent we have to be so  far behind this Man United team. A side who really did nothing in the summer but buy a couple of squad players and a striker in his twighlight. We've brought in a staggering amount of top talent and have totally failed to get the best out of any of them yet bar Chilwell who was the safest bet.

United aren't even anything special, either. Just one ridiculously influential player in Bruno and some ultra-dodgy VAR/penalty luck. From their manager having his head called for to top of the league. With a few top players but mostly just slightly above average players. 🙄

If results continue to go against us in the next couple of matches we need a change. Sadly, the safest bet is now about to be PSG manager. I don't know where on earth we'd go since the very best candidates are busy doing well at their current clubs (Hessenhutl, Naglesman, etc). We may be forced to stick with a 'in over his head' manager for the rest of the season.

The fact that we're having to scrap for another Top 4 finish, based on how things are going right now, is embarrassing and a disgrace.

What I would say is that United did most of their spending for their current squad last season.

But yeah, there's no excuse for us to being this far behind them.

Yep...I thought top 4..not title but definitely top 4 finish without a struggle and relying on others. Still long way to go but its looking more like a repeat.. if even top 4!

For a player it is Messi with 17 pens scoring 14.

 

English club record was C Palace in 2009/10 with 11. ManUre have equalled that record already this season and would have last season too but missed 4 of 11.

[Vesper 27,417]

watching an amazing interview with Messi

will try and post it later

extraordinarily personal

shocked he is being so open
