You've been dire most of the season. Awful to watch. Desperately dull. Still, you won't be complaining if you win the Europa League.. but you won't. I'd be very surprised if Man Utd won anything this season.

Indeed Jah. I don't think it was lost on Utd fans that on a night when we were commemorating IMO the best player to ever wear a Utd shirt, that we should put on such an inept, uninspired, lacklustre performance, bereft of any pace, skill, daring, bravery, imagination, all things you would associate with Georgie. About a year ago LVG was asked about this so-called philosophy of his. He mentioned that players had to learn their role on the pitch, that they were only allowed to play in certain areas, do certain things with the ball. Over time this would become automatic, second nature, he didn't want them to think about what they had to do, they just did it. He didn't want them to play with any intuition, nothing off-the-cuff, no free spirit. Well, he's definitely succeeded on that account. So far the fans have accepted or put up with the dross because of the mess he inherited. The club needed a strong character to sort out the deadwood and a respected manager to attract quality players. But unless there are signs of an improvement in the quality of play, the fans' patience won't last forever...

Saw him twice including my first ever visit to UP....also in the US, where he was still brilliant when he could be bothered

Yep, I'm saying he is respected, especially abroad, which is important if you want to attract good foreign players. Moyes didn't have that presence, basically the club was too big for him and ate him alive. You'll have the same problem when Wenger retires, big boots to fill...

If they play like that I wouldn't want them to win anything.

ASimilar problem for Brendan Rogers. Plyers much more likely to want to come and play for Klopp than Rogers (more so if we can get top 4).

Are you... *feels faint*... suggesting Doc... *staggers towards ornately carved Viennese resting saddle*... that the way a team plays... *gasps, can barely get it out*... is more important than just... *near collapse now*... winning?!?

Hope you survived maxxi. I may have said that. If only BFS hadn't gone to Wonderland he might have been able to save us. Relegation beckons and a 6 pointer against Leicester looms. I hope I can stay awake as last night I gave up a good hours sleep to watch that dross.

You noticed. Are you suggesting I go a bit quiet on here when results against certain teams aren't great? :)

To be fair, maxxi has been fairly quiet in general since absconding to Vienna.

I reckon I post more when Utd lose or, like tonight, when I've had to endure another fooking bore draw.

LVG has managed to clone Ray Wilkins...9 fooking times. Only De Gea and Martial play on the front foot...I despair

I'll respond belatedly - saw game over here and we were outplayed by TH for large parts of the game. Obviously miss Payet and lacked a finish to some promising moves; defence still a slight panicky tendency but I wasn't totally dismayed.


Do think Walker is a dirty despicable c*nt though*.







*This opinion may be subject to a certain amount of bias - but he's still a c*nt.

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
