With tits like that you just have to share!!

I finished up my ride past Old Trafford about an hour ago, is it normally that miserable on the way in? They all looked like they knew this was coming

What do you think the transfer fee will be for Pochettino to utd, it is going to break world record for manger transfers, but I wonder exactly how much thy will break the record by, I wouldn't be surprised if it tool the best part of 100 mill.

I think a lot of us are prepared to accept another tonking if it means the long overdue taxi finally arriving for Maureen.

Unfortunately I think the owners aren’t that interested in what’s going on on the pitch, as long as they’re selling enough shirts in Malaysia, and have found a new official handcream sponsor

I appreciate it's easier to get rid of a manager than a squad, but Mourinho is one of the best managers in the modern premier league era. There is no way his tactics will produce this kind of football, where you lose or draw 5 games on the trot.

Which makes me think the players have set out to lose, which considering the amount the fans both in the stadium, watching on tv and those around the world pay to support this team is beyond disgraceful. It's a shame the Glazers don't send some people out to end their careers and take the insurance money. Players are far far too powerful now and need to be bullied back by the richer owners.

that should have been a penalty too...

is or was? His man management is outdated and crap, it might work if your winning but he can't bring them back from a set back, he has lost the fun and spark he had earlier on.

I have no doubt the players are on 80% there is not commitment or desire in there but it's been happening for a while. To win something you can't do it without the team.

In terms of getting things out of players just about everyone who has gone to City or Liverpool has improved, when people like Pogba look better for France than they ever have for Utd something is wrong.

I think you will find that he used to be one of the best managers... You can’t deny his record of success, but you also can’t ignore the way his managerial reigns unravel. He has got too much previous in this.

It always goes tits up in his third season

booed off at half time? I think everyone has seen more than enough of this shite! It’s getting progressively worse. We could easily be four nil down here. It’s absolutely ****ing woeful!

Theres a lot more wrong at United than just the manager though. Too many expensive, supposedly world class players who just look like they can’t be arsed

No he is not. Even if he was, which is debatable, he isn't any more. He's now a mercenary looking for his next pay-off. His man management skills are, and always have been, terrible, which is why his jobs have always started to fall apart around the 3 year mark. Players will only take so much of his nonsense before they start to rebel. Couple that with a run of bad results and the players soon say we don't have to put up with this crap.

Quite why he thinks it is good management to publicly throw his players under the bus he's just parked in front of the goal is beyond me.

So what was the half time chat?

Come on it's a bit too obvious there?

Mrs Binners has just got back home and informed me she’s got money on Newcastle. The takeaway is on her tonight then

She got 8/1 this morning.

I went with Robbie Savage’s mums prediction of 2 nil to United 🙁

This is more like it - Utd need to win this - it’ll give Joan a bit more time - which everybody wants. A loss tonight might mean he’d go.

No cheering here should have taken the chances in the first half and been 4 up by half time

I don't think he is much safer this evening, 70mins of looking shocking, defence is still rubbish, unless they have a replacement lined up they can't risk going without a manager for now. International break is the time to do this

The United hierarchy need to give him an extended 3 year contract on the back of this result.....hopefully......

Well after going through that all over again on MOTD last night I'm genuinely looking forward to being entertained this afternoon here!

What a refreshing way to talk about football from Klopp

https://www.thisisanfield.com/2018/10/jurgen-klopps-words-on-entertaining-football-are-a-stark-contrast-to-jose-mourinhos/

Also happy we have played City/United/Chelsea/Spurs and Aresnal OK we got not points but we kept the scores sensible in all of those games, we don't play any of the established big sides until we go to Anfield on Boxing Day

How to win friends and influence people: If you’re going to push people off and insist that it’s you who’s taking the penalty, probably best not to then spoon it into Row Z.

I wouldn’t fancy being him in that dressing room at the moment

Yeah, best 0-0 I've watched in a while, great game for the neutral and in the end a fair result.

Though Chelsea and Arsenal are sneaking up there

It was a great match. Good reffing too. He’s obviously decided that everyone is giving as good as they get, no-ones complaining, so let them get on with it.

’The Battle of Stamford Bridge’ being the ultimate example of that, which my football-mad daughter still says is the best match she’s ever watched 😂

Absolutely terrible news from Leicester yesterday. Truly tragic! In an age of owners who treat clubs as purely money-making tools, he seemed like one of the good guys who loved both the Club and the City. And just look what they acheived?!

Yes. Very rubbish.

Btw,the Pepe interview on r5 is worth a listen. Sounds like a lovely chap even if his taste in non Spanish music is suspect.

& even binners must have sympathy with the Thai/cave football team having to endure a meeting with Jose. After all they’ve been through. 🙂

Shocking news from Leicester, truly tragic.

As for this afternoon I hope the kids all know how many titles Jose has won, just in case he asks again.

Maybe the lads could play the first half as the current 1st 11 don't seem to make an appearance till after half time.

Senor J - I listened to the Pep interview. Seems like a top bloke.

How many titles has Jose won? Has he mentioned it at all recently? He's certainly not running the risk of adding to the tally, thats for bloody sure. I'm looking forward to another bout of shouting at the telly this afternoon

What luxury to be able to start with these 3 on the bench

Alexis Sánchez"

<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Romelu Lukaku</span>

<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Jesse Lingard</span>

2 of those don’t even warrant being on the bench.

At least we seem to have taken the handbrake off though.

Its a good job that rebound fell kindly for Pogba after his fannying around! Just stop all that crap, take a proper run up and put your ****ing laces through it!

True binners they should be on a pitch playing for somebody who wants them..

I reckon Everton would have liked to have Lukaku finishing for them!

Pogba is a moron, i do hope Jose drops him next week. Great interview afterwards where the interviewer asked Pogba about every incident he ****ed up on. Basically saying “why the sh1t run up” and “who were you showing off to when you lost the ball for there goal”. You could see Pogba was not entirely happy about with it, serves him right i say. United played better but it was still far from convincing. Yet again Rashford was rubbish when played centrally, he is not a front man yet.

He’s a bloody liability! I lost count of the passes he played to absolutely no-one. Just shanked it into god only knows where.

And the stupid run ups, flicks and back heels? Fine if you’re 5 nil up. Or if it actually works

He’s a bloody clown! Who appears to be listening to his agent, to the exclusion of everyone else.

And Lukaku, when he came on, looked like he’d spent the afternoon in the pub then called for a kebab on the way to the ground. He basically just stood around in midfield, watching what was happening around him, which wasn’t much.

Christ knows what’s going on behind the scenes at Old Trafford. Nothing good.
