One Swallow/Soljskaer does not a summer make and all that. It was Cardiff and there were 11 or so frustrated young men released from their shackles. The upcoming fixtures allow for wayyyyy more delusional vigour too, not too much of a difference to those you mock Binners 😉
Either way, Short term memory and all that, but before the rebranding, those you mock were winning everything for fun whilst Man Yoo were languishing in Div 2, or the Championship, post rebrand.
Lest we forget where we come from.
YNWA 😂
Is that Giggs / Gerrard banner about how many times you have slept with your Sister in Law?
Is it time to stick one of these up at the Etihad, or shall we give them a bit longer to get their act together?
That’s not fair on Gerrard. I distinctly remember him winning the premiership. Ok so it Might have been for Chelsea but non the less he has to be given the credit 😊
That was a proper battering! I really can’t see why he would want to come to United from Spurs at the moment. He’s built that at Spurs and they’re great to watch. And with the new stadium and everything...
I’m just hoping Ole makes such an impact that the jobs his.
Ok so it Might have been for Chelsea
Against Chelsea, for Man City
My son wanted to go to the pub for the match
"What time do Everton kick off?"
"About every 10 minutes or so" I replied.
They're a point worse off this season than at the equivalent stage last season - which got Koeman the sack.
Bloody hell! Some mad results today. Spurs putting 5 past Bournemouth to go second with City losing to Leicester 😳
The scousers are 6 points clear. EEK!
Pogba got two today, so it looks like he’s come out of semi-retirement
Watched Liverpool game, was what you'd expect really, quality told in the end.
Sheesh, can we believe the City result.
Aubameyang and Lacazette look like they could have a field day here! That first goal was quality by both of them
I’ve got Aubameyang as captain of my FF side though, so that’s usually the kiss of death
Meanwhile in the footballing wasteland that is the Championship, Kemar Roofe scores twice (!) in stoppage time to give LUFC a three point lead over Norwich at the top of the table! And Berardi goes berserk!! MOT!
Nice to see Arsenal can still be depended on for some truly shocking defending
^ + a late Winner in the Local Derby (ish) gets 3 points and up to 5th for Exeter.
Strange few days going from a 2 horse race to 3!
My team is managed by Tony Pulis and I have a season ticket, that is all. Time for a few drinks.
Just had a punt on Liverpool equalling Uniteds 8-2 here today at 40/1
If only I didn’t have to listen to Steve McMannamon commentating on it
More importantly I’ve got tickets for me and Binnerette no1 for the Bournemouth game tomorrow. Looking forward to a decent atmosphere at OT 😀
Enjoying this tonight!
'We've got our Arsenal back.' Yep! Aubameyang touched the ball 13 times all game!
Amazing from Liverpool tonight. Blew Arsenal away.
Stevie G will be happy tonight, some job he’s doing at Rangers
Aubameyang touched the ball 13 times all game!
Surely a fair chunk of those were at kick-offs?
Yep - and his miss from a yard out! I think Liverpool can play better actually but they suffocated Arsenal.
Aubameyang touched the ball 7 times in the first half and 4 of those were kick offs!
Well what a difference a couple of weeks and a new manager makes ;D
Great atmosphere at OT yesterday as everyone serenaded Ole for 90 minutes. About as far away from what went before as it’s possible to get. We look like a different team.
It’s difficult to overstate how much love for him there is at United. A genuine club legend, he’s as open, warm and modest as Maureen was graceless, petulant and confrontational. And he understands the culture of the club perfectly
We’re not under any illusions. We’re still way off City and Liverpool. Top four is all but impossible, the season is a write off, but it’s just great to see some decent, free-flowing attacking football for a change, after the entirely negative, lifeless dross that Jose delivered. The players look like they’re enjoying themselves, and the fans certainly are!
Looking forward to this one Mike?
If anything I think this will be more of a test than the last few. Ole said he always hates going to St James’s Park. It’s Rafa, Newcastle and a lot of history, and you gave us a game last time out.
Bet you wish Moaning Maureen had hung around for another few weeks though, eh?
Now TV have my cash, folks are in there and expecting the pre match pic to land on my phone shortly.
The sound of 50,000 Georrdies singing your getting sacked would have been worth being up there for, but yep Jose never having won there with any club would have helped with the pressure, could be a different test for Ole tonight I hope. Solid line up for us, defensive minded as your would expect, Man U do need a little grounding before Spurs have a rip into them.
BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can somebody check on Binners, he might have choked on a vegan sausage roll!!
Entertaining game so far, happy to have in even at half time and our flare players still on the bench, Atsu is back to where he was when he joined us
Well give us one of the Man U bench strikers and we should have won that, reds are still not sorted at the back and I would say any of the top 5 should take them apart, if they go behind it will be a much bigger test for them.
I knew that would be tougher than we’ve had so far Mike. Ironic that it’s Ole’s first clean sheet. Lucky. Like you said, it’d be different if you had a decent striker with their shooting boots on. Upped the game second half.
We’ve got that to come though. Just loving watching them play some proper football. Apparently Real having been sniffing around Rashford. He’s absolute quality, and one of our own, but Ole coached him at youth level, so knows him. He’s going to be a legend.
Also ironic we now seem
To have a super sub. Not the one we expected 😂
We’ve got that to come. Just loving watching them play some proper football.
Well apart from the back line.... Nice touch to nearly put Rondon in
We’re ropey at the back Mike. Ironically (again) we’re playing Kevin Keegan Newcastle style football. You’ll score, but we’ll score more
I’ve probably told you before but one of my best games at OT was in the Stretford End watching us beat you 5-3 and I’d taken my Geordie mate who I’d told to STFU for the duration. And the main chant was for Ole and Alan Shearer being ****ing dearer.
So this is all Alan Shearers fault 😂
Defensive midfield from Klopp.....didn't work well at PSG. Expect City will sit in too but do enough to win though.
It’s either going to be a 5-4 goal-fest or a bloody awful nil-nil war of midfield attrition where they cancel each other out. Here’s hoping for the former
Could do with a city win to keep the race open, I think it is improbable for Liverpool to be caught if they win tonight, unless they have some kind of injury crises.
Liverpool look to be getting the rub of the green at the moment, the draw last time out with city, the last second winner over everton. It was happening for city last year, not necessarily undeserved results, but usually you just get some results that don't go your way, even when dominating not getting that late winner ect.
Liverpool win for me, City need to win this one and will need to come forward to do that, a draw does nothing for them really, should make for an open game
What a finish that was?! 😳
I doubt this match will be finishing with 22 players on the pitch. There’s been some pretty tasty challenges going in from both sides.
Can’t see them keeping this pace up for another 45 minutes. It’s a bit hectic!
What a finish indeed! Damn.
Cracking game I thought, despite not many shots etc.
Could have gone either way that half.
Well that was a thriller!! Still could have gone either way and good to seem them going at each other there. Still advantage Liverpool here
Well that’s opened things up a bit. Could be a big switch in momentum after that. City have perhaps had their slip-ups so now time to see how Liverpool react to the end of their unbeaten run.
Was that a handball late on?
Most enjoyable despite the result.
Fantastic game! Needn’t have worried about it being a cagey affair. Absolutely bonkers pace throughout. Great to see two attacking sides properly go at each other.
I think City probably deserved it on the second half performance. Silva (B) and Sane we’re both outstanding!
Keeps things wide open and interesting for the title at this stage.
Pains me to say it as a Liverpool fan but City deserved to win that game. Sane was the mot the match imo. How Liverpool react to the result will shape their season. City have had their blip, just hope Liverpool’s won’t be as bad. If it is their in trouble 😩
