    What happened at Birmingham? Still a few minutes left, for some reason.

    Kicked off at 3:30. Reading probably got stuck on the motorway or Troy Deeney kicked the **** out of a steward or something.

    We have scored 9 goals in the league in 10 games.
    1 was a penalty, one was a fluke and 1 was an own goal. Three were against toon ffs!
    We average an attempt on goal evey 9 mins and just 4 attempts on target per game.
    We have a goal difference of -7 ... only Newcastle and Norwich have worse.
    We run the least of all 20 premier league teams and are in the bottom 5 for xg stats, goals scored, goals conceded, chances created, clean sheets kept and tackles won.
    Dier is considered one of the first names on the team sheet and we ain't kept a clean sheet in 7 Premier league games.
    Our first 11 all played on Thursday and we played the last 30 mins with 10 men.

    Oh and we are ****...so **** that an OGS team beat us 3 nil ffs.

    If Everton lose to us Rafa needs shooting tbh.

    To make excuses for the officials and "explain" why they've made the right decision, no matter what.

    Just said it wasn’t a pen then the actual ref overturned it immediately and gave a pen. Will go back to him in a minute to say he missed something and it was a penalty all along

    Bloke's a complete waste of oxygen. Seen him change his mind 3 times in 10 minutes before just so he was aligned with the official line.

    The BT equivalent of soccer Saturday was him, Chris Sutton and Robbie Savage in the same place. Just blow up the studio

    I only paid a tenner today, but it made no difference to my lot being depressing to watch. Anyone that rejoices at beating our current team, need to go give their head a wobble.

    Brighton absolutely dominate Newcastle in the first half.
    Change at the break... by Brighton. Ok, then. Injury?

    United will probably give Solskjaer a ten year contract after today.

    Project or something.

    Utterly bizarre timing.

    I can only conclude they made this decision days ago & have somebody lined up to replace him. Otherwise it’s completely nonsensical.

    Like you, I can only think they must have made up their minds and have an agreement in place to work with the squad over the international break giving the new manager a good two weeks to train them in their methods.

    I thought that was what United would do.
    Wait til they lost today and them give a new manager 2 weeks with those not on international duty.
    Was really shocked that Conte joined us cos I assumed they had a deal in place for Conte.
    Find it bizarre that United are still giving OSG time...he has been worse than LVG and Maureen.

    I had to double take on the story when I saw it. I then looked in on and read the Norwich board, and I think you are right, this was already pre-planned.
