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.

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
