    Got the kids' kit delivered today. Badge looks cheap and likely to come away after a few washes, for what it's worth.

     

    Got my training shorts yesterday.
    Adidas badge and NUFC badge will be off in no time I reckon.
    Definitely not the quality of the other Adidas shorts I have in my possession

    Looks like they spent 2 mins on the design of the shorts and then fucking forgot to add three white stripes...

     

    The training shorts do however have the 3 white stripes

    Ordered.

    Store's now live. There's only the home top, some white training gear and red training gear for sale atm. None of the adidas originals stuff or half the stuff in last nights video is on there yet

    left back is one glaring weakness in an otherwise good-looking squad. i'm pleased he's finally picked players in form instead of old favourites such as henderson and rashford. 

     

    bowen, gordon and palmer all deserve to be in. 

     

    lewis hall looks a better option at left back than an undercooked shaw or half-fit trippier playing out of position 

     

    Trips really shouldn't be anywhere near that squad.
    He's got more in common with Henderson and Rashford.

  5. None of us know what conversations are going on behind the scenes about what the target is for the rest of the season.

    We may be happy with 8th-10th and no Euro football next season to give us a chance to have a realistic shot at qualifying for the Champs League again.

    Or we may be pushing for 7th to get us into the conference and give us further experience of playing European football and getting the club used to that idea.

     

    With that in mind I think Howe is experimenting a little bit with tactics and personnel.

    I think the obvious tactic last night was to sit deep and hit them on the break, but long term thats probably not a tactic that we want to be using regularly.

    So we used a high press and told Gordon to stay further up the pitch.

    It didnt work particularly well, but the more we get used to that style, the better in the long term.

     

    Hopefully we're going to give him 2-3 years to get it right before we think about making a change, but these days you never know.

     

  6. Not sure why we always seem to think the only chance we have of winning a trophy is to get the most favourable draw possible?

    So the narrative is we need to get Coventry at home in this round, Wolves in the semi and then Leicester in the final?

     

    Man City away isnt ideal but bring it on. Lets get stuck into them.

  7. The red scousers unbelievably managed to defeat a side 10 places and 25 points behind them in the league.

    Wow, how unexpected, said absolutely nobody except the fawning media and deluded fans.

    They really are in their own little "we're man united" ego fuelled bubble aren't they? Ratcliffes statement made no fucking sense, that comparison to pep was actual nonsense :lol: like anyone in football just lets their players wander off for free when they don't want to be at the club anymore. 

     

    His very own Man United wouldn't even sack Mason Greenwood because they thought they could get a fee for him somewhere down the line the cunts.

     

    "We had a very grown-up conversation with Manchester City about Omar"

    Why didn't you do that with us then you dickhead? Instead you contacted Ashworth and fluttered your eyelashes at him through your media mates and now want to act all precious when we turn around and tell you that thats actually not acceptable and we'll either have our fee or you can wait.

     

    Their fans keep going on about this being "small time" which makes no sense either, surely the small time thing would be for us to bend over "oh yes mr man united please, please take the technical director we hired less than two years ago, would you like anything else sir"

     

    Its either that or "This is exactly what they did to brighton". No, we approached Brighton first, who gave us permission to talk to Ashworth then placed him on gardening leave until a deal was made. Which is how this should have been done. 

     

    I'd started hating Man U less over the last few years, they were more of a laughing stock than anything else, but the sheer ENTITLEMENT of everyone on their side over this, pure brexit-style british exceptionalism has reminded me how much I despise that club.

     

    I think our best move would be to just leave him on gardening leave until 2026.

    Fuck Ratcliffe, Fuck Ashworth and Fuck their fucking awful fans

    Lots of talk from Caulkin of anger from within the club at Man United's behaviour and the way Ashworth has handled himself.

     

    I hope they come in to negotiations with a similar "We're Man United, guys" attitude.

     

    Does any money we get for Ashworth help with FFP?

    If, so squeeze as much out of them as possible.

    If not, he can do the full 20 months horticultural experience.
