Also, for a manager who should have been sacked last month, Eddie Howe keeps breaking all of our unwanted records

If we just score 5 in the first 20 minutes again it won't matter.

Sky pundit line up for tonight.

If this club is ever going to achieve anything, there has to be a moment when we start winning games like this. And by 'games like this' I mean situations where we are the better team but can't climb the psychological mountain that is required to beat a team like Man Utd when we need to. The ability to visualise ourselves as 'better'. As winners. The club has, IMO, always struggled with this in the entire time I've known it. One day we have to shake that off, we have to leap into the game confident that we are better, that we are deserving, and that we will win. I don't know if tomorrow is the day we do that, but it is an opportunity.

Flattering scoreline for Man Utd

Pearson getting ready for cosplay night with Gemmill.

If we're gonna batter them, I hope we're a couple to the good by half time so Keane can get his squeaky voice on. "Yer playin fer Man Yanited. Diss isn't Tattenham. Diss is Man Yanited yer playin fer. Dese players are a disgrace."

Ugh, fucking miserable twats.

You’ve seen United, now fuck off home!

I was there. I am that soldier ☺️ We’re favourites tonight and that never, ever suits us regardless of owners, managers or players…but @Rayvin is right and it applies to Saturday as well… this is our chance to show we are better than the failing Man Utd or the frankly bizarre club that is Tottenham Hotspur.. we can show we belong in the elite with MCFC, LFC, CFC and AFC… Forest are a fuckin joy this season and our three points there and putting them out of the League Cup now look really solid results but it’s unlikely they’ll maintain this form unless they break PSR next month. It really is on these next two games as to what might happen in the rest of the season. Pivotal.

Jimmy Carter was the last Prez who was a genuinely good bloke. His passing probably won’t be hugely noted, unfortunately , which is a shame, because as I said, he was the last of the good guys. RIP Jimmy I am ridiculously pissed, but, tomorrow, when I’m sober, I’ll say the same thing- bloke was a genuinely good lad. RIP

Amorim is a good coach, but Ratcliffe has brought him in at a time where he's on a hiding to nothing. They should have binned Ten Haag at the end of last season. He gets his squad back from the international break and has a game every three days from then on. You can't impart new ideas or strategies when your training work is all about keeping match fitness up for the next game around the corner. At this point all he can do is rely on individual moments of brilliance which is all ETH every did and they've not got their most reliable provider of those for the match against us because Fernandes is banned. Ratcliffe is proving to be a fucking joke of an owner/chairman/whatever he actually is. An absolute skinflint with no understanding of how to handle the optics of being a big football club or any idea how to turn the ship around. Short changing his lowest paid staff constantly, disrespecting the clubs history all whilst pissing away millions on players chosen by a manager he doesn't want, only to fire the bloke and replace him at the worst time of the season to do it. He's Mike Ashley on Ozempic, trying to "businessman" his way out of a hole.

Sky trying to flog Isak again. Fucking shameless from those fuckers

Lisandro Martinez trying to make sense of what just happened:

Its Gary Neville. He looks who's scored and if its not a yewnited player just guesses.

AG10 Assist fuck off you WUM. Cunt

I know you've ran out of patio space, but this method of disposal will lead plod straight to your front door, and your full patio for that matter. Forensics.

Owen, all day, every day.

I did like this interaction on page 1 of a thread started by wschmidt about Jason Tindall:

Are we going to have to start a wyki-like list of the areas of the UK that tbd despises?

There is a good chance we’ll fuck this up. It’s in our DNA.

Oh fuck, Wyki's gone full Arkwright.

I can’t remember the last time I was this confident ahead of a trip to Old Trafford. We all know what happens when we’re confident about getting a result

Yer a FUCCCCHHHN RRRAT, Carragher.

Sawdis sent a ceyse and desist marra. It was eyther parsnip the thread or parsnip me head.

Fuck me, the SMBs got their 50 page match thread archived on their private forum quickly tonight. Wonder why?

Shitting it throughout the second half. Some credit has to go to Amorim for identifying the problem and immediately remedying it, but the damage was done (and it was his own barmy idea to select Casemiro and Eriksen in midfield against Bruno, Joelinton and Tonali - anyone could've seen how that was about to proceed.) But we've done it again. 3 points off 4th, 5 off 2nd, Eddie Howe's black and white army!

Aye, this is game management. They had 15 mins at the start of the half, as they should, they're Man United at home, and we've seen the game out really comfortably. By Sunday evening Amorim will have lost 6 out of 7 in the PL.

Happy new year United, fuck off Man U, you bunch of cunts.

Neville sounds like he's passing a kidney stone summing this one up. Fucking love it.

Like strawb said, we have managed this really well. Something years gone by we have failed to do.

Mass exodus, you’re up Wykiki…

YOU'LL NEVER GET THE MALVINAS

Well, he’s not 20 anymore…

Ipswich 2 up v Chelsea.

🚨🚨🚨FANNY KLAXON 🚨🚨🚨

I'm piss pregnant here. 3 minutes is far too much.

Xerxes taking a lap to soak in the applauses.

Less of the personal attacks thank you very much or I’ll fucking boot your toenails off.

You've seen United, now fuck off home!

Aye, maybe save Owen for Dazzler.

TT legend @Happy Face (if you see this come and say hello, your stats were better than Gemmill and Dave put together) produced an “underachieving league table” and we were top by miles, I think Hamburg were second and Southampton third. It was basically lack of trophy x average crowd and we frankly piss it across the entire European continent

we've had a shitload of statement games in my newcastle supporting lifetime. the only time we've come out on top was a couple back in 1969 and I was that young then that I can now barely remember them. there is no club in world football that can rival us for rabbit caught in headlights syndrome. it's fucking tragic man!

We should batter these tonight really. They've been getting by on moments of individual brilliance, and two of the main sources of that (Rashford and Fernandes) won't be playing, unless he shits himself and brings Rashford back. Let's see what happens, but if nothing else it's a very different feeling going to their place these days, than it has been for the last 30 years.

Zoidberg:

We should step in and give that Man United charity £40k from the Dan Ashworth money.
