What a result and performance. Not often you win 2-0 and that flatters the opposition massively, it really could have been 6 or 7 and United would have deserved it. Donnaruma was immense and was the only thing that stopped City having a really embarrassing afternoon.

I agree with a lot of what you've said bar the bit in bold. There have been plenty of protests against the owners but the real issue that United have is that the owners just don't care whilst the money rolls in and whilst you will get the hardcore supporters staying away in protest United can...

I can sort out VAR, it's easy. The team sitting behind monitors have 15 seconds each and they all (separately) watch the incident from a different angle. They then press a button and the majority wins. If you cannot make a decision after 15 seconds then it's not clear or obvious and the on field...

He certainly isn't immune to criticism however he was brought in with a long term view and playing a very specific way, like it or not he pretty much stuck to that. As you've point out, Jim said he should be judged after 3 years but then sacks him 3 months down the line. I think this could be...

I actually don't think it is on further inspection! I suspect accurate nonetheless!

Amorim on IG. I'd be equally smug if I were him now watching from the sidelines.....

This is the most important 'way' and the United board would have known this and planned accordingly. If you want Amorim then you play his system, you don't (a la Wilcox) start getting involved with team selections and suggesting that he plays 4 at the back. Amorim got rightly criticised for a...

Yet again United are shown to be a complete circus behind the scenes. Amorim was given full backing a few months ago but things obviously fell apart and it appears that him leaving then came as a complete shock to the powers that be. The sacking looks as though it was a knee-jerk reaction to his...

61 points, decent haul from my Arsenal defenders and Wilson in midfield has been great since I brought him in. Sticking with Thiago was also a good decision. Saka is my issue, he's costly and for the money he's very much in danger of being replaced. He scored 11 points in week 16 but other...

I like Semenyo and would have liked him at United. Massive case of sour grapes however I can't help but feel he's made the wrong choice with this move, in 12/18 months he could easily find himself with the likes of Trafford, Savinho et al on the bench and in terms of his career might well have...

Ole’s (back) at the wheel apparently. Nice chap but a limited manager. I guess we’re looking for a short term bounce, get the feel good back and then try for a permanent solution in the summer. Can’t help but feel this is a never ending cycle now and will only end when the present ownership...

I think that the last year or so has shown that the issues at United run far deeper than the manager. The level of incompetence is off the scale and INEOS are being shown to be pretty clueless as are most of those at board level IMO. Unfortunately Amorim was always going to struggle given his...

From what I’ve seen they’re viewing it as a business but not in the sense that they’re looking to get money via winning things. The main objective is to identify new talent or undervalued players and then try and flip them for a profit. The winning side of things seems to be secondary although I...

Yep, Wilson came in that week which was a stroke of luck! I think bench boost is a hard chip to use in the second half of the season. I used mine in GW1 when I could put together a side which I knew should have every single player taking part and it was a success. Looking at my team now my subs...

Yep, I think I’m 3 points clear with 1 to play tomorrow evening. I’ve got a few issues to sort and only 1 FT so I may have to take a small hit.
