Premier League match discussion thread | 2014/15

Harry Redknapp gone.

How he still managed to get a job after claiming he couldn't read or write and had the organizational skills of a 2 year old infant is beyond me.

Arsenal are being played off the park by Spurs.

Played with no intensity in a derby, suicidal. I can understand doing it against City and probably Liverpool given what happened last season, but Spurs? Lol. They were pretty dreadful, we didn't attack much but every time we did we caused them serious problems.

City drop 2 points at home to Hull.

Very good title race so far.

Can't wait for United to win tomorrow so that the Gaalacticos can be back in the title race.

I thought everyone should know that Joseph Allen is marking Lukaku during set-pieces.

Lukaku is fucking disgusting. His control of a football is so vile. Every time he tries to dribble or control a football I feel physically sick.

This match didn't deserve that Ibe effort.

Mirallas might be the worst thing since swine flu.

Ibe has impressed me so far. If only that shot went in.

Sturridge, please. He better not be injured.

Gerrard has offered the intangibles today, I don't know how we will replace him.

Good grief, at least try to fall out of the title race in style.

The segregation really seemed to ruin the atmosphere to the Merseyside Derby, it was like it deflated the players resulting in the 0-0 draw.  Although it was not the worst nil nil draw it was alright.

Tim Howard advocating for diving

Manchester United playing a Sam Allardyce team and yet they are the hoof ballers It'll be a travesty for the PL if United make the top 4. Arsenal, Southampton, Spurs, West Ham and Liverpool are all far superior.

Under Moyes it was hoofball, under van Gaal it is pragmatism.

I told you Allardyce was a good manager.

And we told you van Gaal wasn't.

When? I've not seen anyone firmly nail their colours and say Van Gaal is a bad manager, just snidey little comments about points comparisons.

Sam Allardyce: 'We couldn't cope with long-ball Man United. It was thump it forward and see what you get.'

That progress

More points, more goals, better league position, better shot conversation, better shot accuracy, more possession, better passing accuracy, less goals conceded, less errors and less cards in a more difficult league. Looks like progress to me.

That one extra goal was totally worth the record spending in the summer

I don't know what you're fucking laughing at anyway, even with only 1 goal worth of improvement (an asinine way of measuring it but you pick the terms for what you laugh at) we still humbled you at the Emirates and we're still two points and two places ahead of you in the League.  Maybe you should be more concerned with your own manager's year on year performance.

Edit: Fucking hell I've just looked it up

After 24 games


After spending £85m.

Glass houses mate.

I know I've got you rattled when you're posting rambling like that. Classic defence mechanism of trying to avert the subject at hand. We're talking about United, not Arsenal. I think you'll find I and 99% of our fanbase have been brutally critical of Arsene Wenger and Arsenal, they've been afforded treatment that's reserved for peodphiles, so I don't see your point  

Despite all the talk of van Gaal being a tactical genius and despite spending nearly £160million in the summer you've been laughably shit. British record Di Maria and £300k a week Falcao have only helped you muster one extra goal And you're hoof balling it. If you think that insignificantly small "improvement" has justified the massive expenditure at the club then more fool you. I have no problem with insecure United fans like you thinking this is acceptable, all it means it that you'll dreadful for more years to come

This isn't acceptable if it happens every year, but the extermination of parasites infesting the club that's now well underway and the obvious improvements (even if they aren't apparent in mindless stat comparisons) mean I'm not going to be doing any knee jerk reactions. We are heading in the right direction, if this happens again next season I'll be calling for his head but we're nowhere near that stage now.

I refuse to call it progress until Fellaini is locked away for good.
