Match Day Thread Manchester United FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 4th October 2025 - KO 15:00

Another cracking match thread @RTB thank you

Man utd love that high line and have no pace at the back, let's get stuck into them from the off, our first "big" game and one we can make a mark in

 

Yep, talksport were saying he needs to get to November for a year in charge. They the compo dropps. Personally I say keep him there, it's funny as f**k at the minute.

 

Were you around for the 0-1 Seb during the miracle season, I'd like to think we can dick them or get a point.

 

He’s their Mick Beale in my opinion …

… inept, aloof and very difficult to like.

 

talksport also said that his appointment was the reason Ashworth left and went to the skunks, dead against the appointment who wanted Southgate.

 

no mate i was on a posting abroad

REGIS Le Bris believes Lutsharel Geertruida has already shown that he will be a pivotal utility man for Sunderland this season.

The 26-year-old, who joined the Black Cats on loan from RB Leipzig late in the summer transfer window, has played the majority of his football as a centre-half. But Le Bris also saw the Dutchman's versatility as a real asset, and so far he has been used from the bench in a holding midfield role at Crystal Palace and at right-back in last week's win at Nottingham Forest. And Le Bris would be comfortable playing Geertruida in three other roles…

“His attitude is really good," said Le Bris. “With a late signing like him, it's always a little bit more difficult to connect in his strongest position because other players are already generating momentum and this is a positive for us.

"I still think Lucha is still a really good centre back but he is really versatile and when we signed him, we felt that his versatility could be very useful for us. He has already shown he can play midfield, right back, he could also play as a centre back in a three or a two. Probably as a left back as well, so now it's a question of momentum.

"It's obvious to say that at the minute, Nordi and Omar are doing really well and before that, Ballard was impressive. The competition is huge which is a positive for everyone, and we know that the season is long so there will be opportunities for everyone."

 

You said you never thought you'd see the day we could beat them, as I'm not sure of your age I wasn't sure if you were around when we done them 1-0 at their place.

 

Is there a chance the game could be called off due to storm Amy? Apparently the North West is its primary location.....

 

9 para special strategic reserve on standby for anywhere in the world, some places you wouldn't believe and still can't talk about it, but was born in Hendon in a rough time, and was proud as punch to serve my country, which then was a privilege, now theses gut less fekkerers have made it so real terrorists get protection and those who served get prosecuted without legal aid, which they give to murderers now

 

I read 45mph gusts

 

I thought storm Isodor was heading in that direction to create havoc?

 

Its on the door 3-1 the lads

 

Don’t think so mate, I reckon it’ll have calmed by then …

… by the look of their keeper a slippery ball and our monsters flying in could win us the game.

 

Main storm is predicted for Friday night Saturday morning.
Storm Wilson is due to hit from 3pm

 

Winds have just picked up here in North Wales mate.

Really looking forward to this match.
I'll try and get the 12 year old grandson round to watch it with me and me son. He's manure. I'm hoping to convert him and a good win might turn him

He'll get older and wiser and will realise his mistake.
