    I have rarely been affected by the performances of United under LVG but this second half was the pits. It felt worse than a defeat. Worse than the 3-0 in 35 minutes at the Emirates. Suddenly realised that top talented players are not given (or are not willing to use) their initiative to attack and they were frozen looking for leadership. Most depressing stuff and my gloom will not be lifted even by a win at Leicester.

    The irony is that United could be top this weekend. Who said" I prefer a lucky general to a skilful one"?

    It's what Chelsea have done isn't it Christian? When I say soon I mean in the next couple of years or so. Chelsea won the title and are now 15th so it could easily happen to Utd.

    The "glass half full" side of me thinks that at least we would have won the title ...:bandit:

    And yet you would have happily accepted it had that Lingard skyrocket ricochet off Rooney's ar5e and ended up in the back of the net ending up in a 1-0 win.

    ^^^^ shut up! That second half in Wednesday was unacceptable but yes, the win would have been welcomed considering we would have qualified. The performance was shocking though.

    What are the rumours of doom today BTW?

    Without Ditherer or Mourinho is it possible to fall from such a lofty position? Maybe Dalgkish or Rodgers but I don't know of too many managers who have taken a PL side from the tip, or close too and plummeted them to nothingness. Its a special skill.

    That Guardiola is a done deal to manage City this summer.

    I don't believe it for a minute myself but it would mean the perfect successor to lvg is no longer a possibility.

    Ahh that came out last year too. Think Peps above that job personally. Messis also joining for £800k a week. With Ronaldo coming here in January should be an exciting PL next season....

    I don't think anybody seriously believes Pep is the right man for City and besides they are just going to change from coach to coach every two years or so anyway.

    Ronaldo to Man Utd? NEVER buy back, it doesn't work. I also think City might be in for a torrid time soon too.

    I would absolutely love to see top 4 contested by Leicester, Spurs, Liverpool and A.N.Other rather than have the same teams year in year out. I sincerely hope it changes soon.

    Whooooosh. Temper temper, you are without doubt the most ignorant poster on this forum.

    I was simply highlighting the point the post being quoted (Chief's post) is clearly lost on some. You included, as your post above shows. You are definitely one of those he was on about. Keep tuning in to those final scores fella <ok>

    <laugh> sorry. Its just not a single person has said it was good. It was awful. Winning wouldn't have changed that but we would still have qualified.

    And weren't you the one saying you were going to stop watching and just catch the score the other week? <whistle>

    I was being sarcastic. What Chief has said is what I was saying back then.

    Tbh I really dont see how supporters of a mid-table team can laugh at us. While we United fans may have our disagreements about the ambitions of our club or manager, those are ambitions you can only dream about.

    Are we talking title winners here? United, then City, then Chelsea. This year back to us?
