  1. Wasn't being critical of Utd - only of the 'media' making lame excuses for them when a) they don't need it and b) they have all the resources in the world to be able to provide almost equal replacements for even their top players. Unlike some clubs - or one in particular- much closer to home.......

    The season's always going to be judged by the final league position.
    So it's disappointing whatever happens.
    Winning two trophies and qualifying for the CL is a great consolation .
    Winning the EFL Cup and missing out on CL is very little consolation. Van Gaal did better last season.

    As per usual, while you can understand the individual words in front of you, you completely fail to understand the meaning of the entire sentence.

    ...so maybe don't whinge about Cantona being suspended and other players getting injured during his suspension? It makes you look as capable of sticking to a position as Theresa May.

    We did - but hopefully our players learnt from that and our record this season hopefully is evidence of this

    Cut it however you choose, United have been fairly wretched this season. The football's been turgid. Some very expensive signings have been ordinary at best and woeful regularly. Mourinho's been very poor in terms of leadership and progressing the club.

    Ibrahimovic was overplayed, leading to Rashford and Martial stagnating. Fellaini shouldn't have any place in a top 4 team. Various squad players have been thrown under the bus. They've achieved the ultimate in meaningless records by going 23 unbeaten with half of those games as draws. It's all about wins, Stupid!

    Frankly, it's back to the drawing board next season. Bailly looks to have potential, as does Rashford. Herrera does a job (no matter how much I hate him). De Gea is great but probably leaving. The rest? Meh! They're not 5th/6th for no reason.

    I never did and never will, I didn't bring Cantona into this I just pointed out the similarities of the situation being whinged about.

    Nope, never bet on anything anymore (used to do the National but got bored),
    Most of my charity money goes on my youngest daughter with her mile long zip line rides, fun runs and shark diving exploits :grin:

    Spurs in first half of the season,

    Undefeated tick
    Had loads of draws tick
    Didnt play their attractive style as they do now as he didnt know how to play dier and wanyama in midfield and no kane tick

    Pretty similar to mourinhos undefeated run.
