This is hilarious. A trainee BBC worker was learning how to write texts on the ticker of the BBC News Channel (the writing at the bottom of the screen). Whilst playing around with it, he wrote 'Manchester United are Rubbish', and accidently made it live!!!!
Good afternoon all I loved Bielsa’s brand of football and I would maintain he would have kept us up I also believe there was trouble in the camp that’s why I won’t be disappointed if Raphinah moves on for the right price of course Having said that we are where we are time to move on We have a lot who need moving on without any sentimental claptrap Waiting with baited breath to see who is moved out who is retained who is brought in The night of the long knives awaites

As I said we are where we are and to coin another phrase or saying the proof of the pudding is in the eating Almost forgot talks cheap
Afternoon all. I had huge respect for Marcelo Bielsa. The way he wanted his team to play was a joy to watch. He was a brutally honourable man and, under him, the team were honest and hard working. He made average players much better and fitter which, in the Championship, was exactly what is needed. The teams in that division weren't able to match our fitness and there wasn't the quality to cope with us. In our first PL season we did what other clubs do, like Sheff Utd and Brentford. We carried our confidence with us. We outran many teams and were competitive in most games. In the 2nd season the good teams worked out how to play us. Clever movement dragging players out of position then a good pass into the huge spaces created. They also just ran straight through us. We have found the limitations of average players. They can run further for longer but they can't pass or shoot any better than they did. We needed a composed, quality head to look up and bring everything together. A Coutinho or an Eriksson would have got the most out of our headless chickens. That's where Aaronsson could be a perfect signing. We could all see the problems we had and I couldn't believe that MB couldn't see it, so did he just ignore it or did he not have an answer? I think he'd run out of ideas so I think it was time for him to go. I wasn't sure that JM was the correct Manager choice for us but he's kept us up so I'm happy to give him a chance.
The only thing I'd query Blono, is the comment about the team's passing. They were brilliant (ok, good) at it for three seasons but this season it all inexplicably went to shyte from day one.
I should have been more precise. I really meant when they were under pressure so being pressed or in the final third. They just don't have the composure to think clearly under pressure. Better players just seem always to have more time. I don't think we've ever converted enough opportunities but I have wondered how MB system would work with a better quality squad. They could be unbeatable
Our passing was dreadful during the run-in. In fact KP was the only one who was consistent on Sunday, and I noticed he nearly always tried to find Raphina. This is what was missing for most of the time he was missing, Leeds didn't make the most of Rapha and he'll be gone next season. KP might well be gone too. If we're relying on wingers like Harrison and Dan James then I don't know what will change? And yes Rodrigo is pants, although he liked parading around in them after the game on Sunday.
