    So, here it is. The match when the worm turns.
    Some good noises coming out from players, let's hope they back it up on the pitch.

    Nine, or even seven, points from the next three games and all the **** will go away. Let's get behind them, and him, and see us back on track going into the new year.

    In the meantime, I wish you all a happy christmas. Have a good day tomorrow all of you.

    Interesting fact, it's cold in Stoke and if you don't like it up you you're supposed to be scared. Us not being Arsenal though, that shouldn't worry us.

    Stoke is also a ****ehole of titanic proportions. <ok>

    Stoke are defensively sound. I expect a 0-0 if we're lucky. That's the realistic part out of the way. Now, the hope is that we win this bcos the way we're playing really is killing morale at the moment and a win may just provide the boost we need.

    I've got this bizarre instinct we'll win.

    No idea where it comes from, just that really. Instinct.

    Let's see what the man can do. Walking out on the press is one thing, let's get your balls out on the pitch too.

    Could be an intimidating atmosphere with the home fans throwing their lumps of coal and clementines onto the pitch.

    I think Stoke will win this game, and will probably have a bet on them to do so, 5/2 looks a good price. As its quite clear to me that the players want LVG out, so they won't be putting all their efforts into winning. They know full well if they lose LVG is probably gone, so they'll get their wish:biggrin:

    I think this will be the game where everyone finally agrees with me that Rooney is a hyperinflated lump of human gestational garbage!

    Hoping the world class midfield pulls the useless ****ers upfront through and Man Utd thrash Stoke, but don't see it happening under Louis. What a tosser having a go at the press, the press are some of our finest people <laugh>

    I don't think there are many that wouldn't agree that Rooney is useless these days. I've been saying it for 3 years :biggrin:

    0-0 or 1-1 if we're lucky.

    Hopefully Martial won't be stuck out on the wing watching Rooney giving the ball away and being outpaced by Shawcross and Herrera wont be stuck on the bench watching Fellaini giving the ball away and plodding around aimlessly kicking people.

    I don't quite get why non-United fans keep popping in to say stuff like "when are you guys going to realise Rooney's ****e"? I can only assume they don't actually read what's posted on here so are just finishing off a conversation with a United fan they know who still rates Rooney.

    It would be like me going over to the Newcastle board to share a pearl of wisdom like "when are you guys going to realise that Mike Ashley's not been a great owner?" and then toddling off with a warm glow as I have imparted wisdom to the Geordie masses who will then engage in a prolonged debate about how their eyes have been opened by the insightful Manchester United fan.

    Regardless of what I may think of LVG, if any player had that attitude, they can fck off before him.

    We have lost to Bournemouth, and then even worse at home to Norwich. Not to mention we haven't won in 6 games. So it's quite clear to me that they aren't giving their all for the cause.

    We can't sack all the players though, even if they are to blame, so LVG will have to be the one who goes:biggrin:

    I dont think we've lost bcos the players have deliberately not tried. I'll leave that excuse for UIR. I do believe they're disillusioned and dont believe in LVG anymore, but that doesnt mean they're not trying.

    0-3 to United!

    WHY?

    Because we are MANCHESTER UNITED and we are better than Stoke!!!

    I've had a couple of decent bets on.United to win.

    Betting on us to lose is just weird.

    The players and Manager now have their backs to the wall and I would expect a positive reaction to that. The away fans too are generally better than the home fans and I expect them to fully back the team.

    If we can get a good result there, it would set us up nicely for Chelsea. But if we capitulate, then expect noise of Jose ringing through papers on Sunday even if it ain't true.

    Enough with the boring football talk. I don't think the last three games that we have sadly lost were actually boring. which is why we have been shyte in defense.
