Just watched Amorim's press conference and it was just one manc reporter after another telling him that surely he needs to compromise and change his system to accommodate the players. In the end he goes "these players were bought to play a very specific system for which they've been coached and had two pre seasons, and they were losing games constantly. If they can't win games playing the exact system they were bought and coached to play, then why would I compromise and go back to that system." Fair play, it's a good point. Genuinely ridiculous to be listening to reporters trying to tell a manager how to do his job as well.

Thought we sat back way too much in the second half, but overall very pleased with the performance and never easy coming away from Old Trafford with 3 points in the bag. Now 5th in the table, let's keep climbing! On a side note: I was in a local bar and was the only Toon fan in the whole thing. Of course some plastic Man U fans were on the other side and I couldn't help but let us say...overly celebrate our goals haha. One of them told me to pipe down and I told him to pull out his Amorim doll and say a prayer to him for the second half. He flipped me off and went back to stuffing his face with chicken wings. Think it also helped that I am 6'3 280 pounds and he looked like Tom Hanks on crack 😁

I want charts for Are we human? and Are we dancer?

In fairness this has quite literally been the easiest run of games we've had all season - I'll take credit for the free flowing goals though, that's all on me.

Have to pay tribute to Sandro. It’s no coincidence that our turn in form coincided with him starting games at the base of our midfield. He’s been superb in every game, linking up superbly with Bruno and allowing him to play further forwards where he can provide that creative spark we have lacked, as he did once again yesterday against the Manc twats. This midfield is finally looking like we hoped it would. I don’t think I’d swap it for any other in the league tbh - is there a better midfield three pairing?

Seems like Ratcliffe wanted a manager who'd be easy to get in on the cheap rather than trying get a proven PL manager. Sounds like several managers we got under Ashley. I thought I would never wish Ashley on anyone. Turns out that was bullshit. This is wonderful.

When you're at home to the Toon and you go 2-0 doon, that's Amorim When you play 3 at the back and the defence is still slack - that's Amorim You've lost four on the bounce and you're frequently trounced - that's Amorim When Rash's in a mood and you should have kept Ruud.... Thaaat's Amooooo-rim

Gonna be a right kick in the balls when he goes out on loan in January, eh @PaddockLad

about the only thing I've got in common with goldbridge is we both want man utd to win their next game

"Magpies FC". I hope the cunt dies this year.

Goldbridge is Man United's answer to @thebrokendoll, I reckon. Minus the hoodie.

Some cheeky cunt saying Howe is like an upgraded Pulis or Dyche. They would fucking kill to have Howe there sorting their mess out.

They're taking well at least: Post match vs Newcastle United | RedCafe.net

Seeing as Sky didn't see fit to broadcast an interview with Howe.

Tactic planning session at Man U for match week 38, and planning to play a 3-4-3 again https://youtu.be/Cgy6Fcz7q0s

We're so scared of them that the sight of them only 4 places below the PL has sent us rocketing up the league to get away from them.

I said a loan back to Italy wouldn’t surprise me when he was looking like a lost sheep every time he wandered on to the pitch…. It’s fairly unlikely now….its not like I said he was definitely leaving on at least three separate occasions

Goldbridge is from Nottingham and wouldn’t know the Stretford End from his own bell end

I don't think it was a mutual parting of the ways with Ashworth at all btw. The day he left he'd been to see their youth team play and the first team, and was apparently walked off the premises at Carrington. Bloke was sacked.

He also responded to a question in his interview on the American stream about his tactics - and would he need to change them. He just says something to the effect of - I change the tactics all the time but people seem to be obsessed with the three centre backs as if it's somehow the be all and end all of tactics. I like the bloke, I think he's probably too genuinely canny to be managing that shit show like and I think it seems like he's already starting to regret leaving Sporting.

Last time these muppets played a Premier League match we were still members of the EU, COVID and the lockdowns were yet to happen, and Queen Elizardbeth was still drawing breath.

ALL HAIL DAZZLER Tempting to bring Botman in but much more likely to be Kelly who doesn't offer the same distribution but does look more at home at CB than LB. Let's keep this run going.

As much as I despise Liverpool, I'd love them to stuff "United" 9-0 at the weekend Eddie has got a couple of demons off his back this season too. Never won at old Trafford in the league plus we managed to get a result vs Liverpool. These are all big psychological milestones

Listen, I know people wanted to hear from Howe, but once Neville came on and him and Carra started mining that rich seam of banter, there's no way Sky could pull away from it. It would have been irresponsible. If you haven't been watching, they made predictions at the start of the season and, you're not gonna believe this, but they got some of them wrong. And well, you can imagine the BANTER. Top drawer. Just TV gold.

EPL have charged the beige stamper with “improper behaviour” for the tantrum after he was sent off. Quite right too.

He’s possibly not as press-resistant as Bruno in the number 6 role, but he brings other qualities - athleticism, a surprising turn of pace when making recovery runs, and I love how after winning the ball, his instinct is to always look for a forward pass. I love how he and Bruno passed and moved through Man U’s static midfield yesterday over and over again

I can see the promotional video now: Yasir Al-Rumayyan stands on the roof of the gallowgate with a gay bloke with a sign reading "breaking news" stapled to his back - launches him off into the road below (as the Saudis are absolutely known for, and holds up to total scrutiny). The CSI lot turn up and pick up a rainbow armband with "Jesus ❤️ U" written on it. A voice can be heard saying "I think that's mine, mate". Camera pans to Guehi placing it on his arm, wiping the remains of the gay bloke off it and winking to the camera. *Fade to black*

I'm hoping for a massive sinkhole to open up and swallow Anfield at about 30 minutes.

Announce Guehi at 00:01!

Nayuh worries marra.

...and yiz still wore ya ill fitting tewn tops on a random Wensdah, marra.

You're gonna have to prepare yourself for this but this actually starts with, and prioritises, praise for the team that won the game, rather than a Man United funeral march. I mean it pretty quickly gets there, but initially it's about us.

Think they're definitely at the stage where they need to stick to a project even if it means a couple of more mid-table finishes. They scrapped the Rangnick one before it even started, Ashworth after a few months. They're lucky enough that they'll always have money and ridiculous commercial revenue so bite the bullet for a bit instead of chasing it.

Love this comment Beat Ispwich, Leicester, 10 man Villa & the worst Man Utd team in 50 years, & they've a got a Spurs team without a fit defender. Jammiest run in PL history City will still finish higher

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.

Too early for Krafth, according to Howe. He said Botman would be in consideration but he also said he's had a couple of days of illness. I'd be amazed if it's not Kelly. Might not be the worst opponents for it mind.

Who said that?

Lovely couple of lazy hours this morning watching all the highlights, interviews and fan reaction stuff I know it’s a bit of pantomime but I particularly enjoyed this blokes meltdown.

They don't have the patience for it though. It was the same pre-Ferguson, and we all know how close he was rumoured to be getting the sack before it clicked. I know a lot don't like him but he was a football genius, the exception not the rule. Anyway, fuck them.

He was offered to them in the summer apparently, but Ashworth wanted to stick with Ten Hag and suggested Frank, Silva, and Howe as the best alternatives. Which apparently angered Ratcliffe that he'd appointed this supposed genius who couldn't see beyond current PL managers for a replacement. Even though it makes perfect sense to go for proven PL experience.

Aye I'd be amazed if he's happy with his decision to leave Sporting. I agree, he seems a canny bloke. The situation he's got himself into is a fucking mess though.

3-0 Some cunt with a hat-trick

I haven’t done this for a while as I jinx them but fuck it….where was Roy Keane the dog wanking cunt …Howay the fuckin lads …oh and the cunt who wants Eddie out it’s time you fucked off

the day that sky lose the rights and we get to watch our own clubs on demand can’t come soon enough

Flattering scoreline for Man Utd
