Winston Biscuit Wolves 01/02 is the all time classic. Top 2 almost all season, dropped from 1st to 2nd place with 7 games to go, dropped from 2nd to 3rd with 2 games to go letting West Brom take 2nd. Won just 2 of the final 9 games

Lost in the play off semi's to 6th placed Norwich

Didn’t they let someone down again ?
:wink:

Whatever the question is at United ETH isn't the answer.

down to the 5th & 6th choice CB's, no fit LB for most of the season. He tried to sell three players in the summer, who as a result of injury, have had to be starters (Mctoninary, Maguire etc). Often been without a recognised striker for several periods. It's not all on ETH. The Glazers, Woodward, Arnold, Murtough etc wrecked the club

Still don't get the continuous blaming the Glazers and others when they have carried on spending millions and millions on players including £90 million or so on Anthony and £60 million on the old fella Casemeiro etc.

Bournemouth were significantly better than Man Utd yesterday and I don't think I have ever seen a Premier League side give up so much space as the less than mighty reds did last night.

One of their big money signings Onana has done well as the season has progressed much in the way De Gea did in his first season and with the season yet still with games to come the interesting stat yesterday was that they have already given up more shots to the opposition than at any time in their Premier League history.

That can't be the fault of the Glazers.

Trying to work out which 80/90 mill pound player Id want least.....Nunez or Anthony. At least Anthony looks like there is potential at times.....Nunez on the hand is just another Keifer Moore.

Liverpool bottle it. Not sure you're in a position to comment on United.

That’s probably Liverpool’s race run. Just cannot keep a clean sheet and they miss too many chances. Been behind in 17 of their 32 games, you can’t keep recovering from that

Understand Liverpool fans can be extremely insufferable but them falling away is bad for the overall competition. Arsenal and City will be a really dull new “rivalry” so I hope another team can take the reins as I can see Liverpool post Klopp following a similar trajectory to United under SAF

Very easy to blame the manager. He’s not doing a great job admittedly and I struggle to see how a team of their prestige can’t even do the basics but you have to factor in just how poor their XI is

May have been one of Mourinho’s arsehole moments but it’s telling he said his best accomplishment was finishing 2nd at United. Their squad has evidently regressed since then

Good job for Arsenal Bailey isn’t playing - he would have given Zinchenko nightmares.

We only wasted 80M on Anthony through incompetence and could have had him for 30/40M earlier on. He wouldn't look so bad at that price and it would have been easier to sit him on the bench earlier on.
