The old Man Utd Thread

[Gabzy]

Ighalo is a born goal scorer 

[Mr Do 71]

Dull. Dull. Dull. 

[5R7]

the best thing that has happend to Shaw this season, is Bradon Williams coming in to take his place! Made Shaw get his ass in gear!

[feltmonkey]

Why can't Shaw play like this every match?  He's been excellent, and it's mainly because he's actually bothering to get forward.  If he'd done this more this season he'd be in the England team, looking forward to the Euros.

[Mr Do 71]

Dirty bloody Derby. 3-0 United. 

[MikeBeaver]

Yes!!! Another 2 from Ighalo, this really makes me happy, someone who everyone wondered why we'd signed him, wasn't expecting anything form him and he's a proper fan of the club, even if he is only here till the end of the season, he's great, properly living out his dream move and actually scoring for us, love it

Who knows? Maybe there's a clause that will allow a permanent transfer?

[Stevie]

Chelsea is currently beating Everton so thats 6 points between us and top 4 

[JPL]

We have to win today to close that gap, so we all know what that means...

 

I should just start copy and pasting my weekly post.

[Gabzy]

I can't wait to see Bruno get stuck in to his first derby with us.

[5R7]

3 at the back again?

[spork]

No Lingard or Pereira in the squad 

 

Also no De Bruyne for city. They also have Otamendi in defence and Mahrez on the bench

Ooh, no De Bruyne is good to hear.

 

Right, I’m gonna be optimistic today. 3-1.

[christaylor]

Come on lads we need a good solid performance from you today.

You've gone and jinxed it now!

[JPL]

Shit! I mean a 3-1 loss. Obviously.

[Liamness]

City's pressing is on a completely different level to ours.

 

We've done alright though, in the last 5-10 minutes. If Martial squares that to Fernandes we're probably 1-0 up...

[Mr Do 71]

Get in! 

[bradigor]

Really clever free-kick that. Ederson should have saved it, but you've deserved that. 

[Liamness]

Yeah it was a smart little routine. Martial is great at flashing one in at the near post and making the keeper look like a mug. Should save it, but the surprise factor probably helps.

[Stevie]

Great goal by Martial, and what a pass by Bruno. 

[feltmonkey]

Sterling must hate playing against Wan-Bissaka. 

[Liamness]

Croqueta from Wan-Bissaka - didn't know he had that in his locker! Bought himself acres of time and space and then rushed the cutback.

[Gabzy]

Absolute fucking joke from VAR as per. That was a pen, and he ends up with a card

[5R7]

where the fuck is VAR, thats a clear pen!

I dunno, he gets a nice comfy pocket to sit in for 90 minutes!

[ilpostino]

That's a nailed on penalty. 

As @bradigor said too, cracking free kick routine. Great goal.

[feltmonkey]

Yeah, the failure to award the penalty is bizarre. Did they even check it? 

[Gabzy]

Just now, feltmonkey said:

Apparently so! Just mind boggling

[Liamness]

You can just kick attackers in the box. Cool, good to know.
