    happy – Couldn’t recall the games (maybe age and memory) so looked at the brief sky reports. Burnely 0-1 away .;..

    “United got the only goal of the game in the 54th minute, Martial’s third in four games, striking in off the bar from 12 yards after good work from Romelu Lukaku. ……. Burnley had chances to equalise in the second half, hitting the bar from Johann Gudmundsson’s free-kick,”

    Ours went in off the bar, theirs didn’t.

    Then Burnley 2-2 home …… Burnley 2 goals up at half time. Lingard pulls one back after 53 minutes then the equaliser in stoppage time.

    Thank god for Fergie time yes.

    Hmmmmm, i’m sure it was Burnley. Basically Zlatan missed loads of chances and it was 0-0 at OT. Maybe it wasn’t Burnley…

    That was this season Mac….the game happy is talking about was last year. By god that was a frustrating match….it wasn’t just the shots tally it was the amount of worldies that Heaton pulled out plus the simple chance we put wide or over.

    Loved it.

    Fair enough happy – but the fact you have to go back a year and a half to find a cherry to pick says a lot.

    I dont recall the game or what fans moaned about, but if it was about Zlatan’s failure to convert chances, then its a reasonable complaint. I moaned a lot about Andy Cole for the same reason.

    And if I recall, last season the team rarely put in good performances. In fact, the performances were such that you regard our performances this season as a massive improvement !!!

    Well you tell me. How would you describe the team performance this year compared to last?

    NB: By performance I don’t mean results, I mean how well the players have been playing – both individually and as a team.

    There was a lot of similar games last season where we drew after battering our opponents. All late summer and through the autumn if I’m not mistaken? Then it all went flat and the season faded away. Something not too dissimilar happened again this season…not sure whether you blame the manager or the players? Probably a bit of both.

    Lukaku refusing to start the game is a big slap on jose’s face. All that faith he has put in lukaku and for him to get that response because he doesn’t want to miss the world cup is a let down. Lukaku has been pretty average this season but we seem to have so many players who somehow think they are better than what they really are.

    Mourinho got it totally wrong on saturday, we’ve played chelsea 6 times and he’s tried to man mark hazard every time and we’ve lost four of them games. We should have won the game easily if herrera was told to push forward and forget hazard and also if bailly started. Even when we were chasing the substitutions came too late and they were wrong, change the system go with 2 up top but he stuck with herrera on hazard for far too long. They had one player who could cause a problem and we still flipping lost.

    mourinho is struggling with teams using his own tactics on him, he doesn’t seem to have an answer for sides which sit back and counter. Time to change firstly by clearing out the shite

    Not Mourinhos fault then fatrooney?
    Every new manager needs two years to implement his ideas then you should se some improvement,a change of play and not the least the players believe in the managers philosophy. When the players believe and buying this concept the players will improve under the new manager.

    Cant see anything of above mentioned and hearing Mourinho talk about Young and Fellaini you know he is way behind football and other managers development.
    Sorry Mourinho but the train has gone and your on the station,taxi for Mourinho.

    Fuck me sideways,did somebody say they happy for Young to stay @ our club? Have we really fallen this low for Young to be seen as a player we are lucky to have? When Real Madrid are talking about signing the likes of Neymar,Hazard,Dybala,Salah,we celebrate fucking Young and Fellaini?Apart from DDG,the rest can fuck off tomorrow and not one will be missed as far as I’m concerned.

    Give me SMS and Jorginho tomorrow and Pogba and Matic can do one!.I take Koulibaly and Skriniar in defence,and all our defenders can get lost,including Bailly since he seems always injured.Pjanic too for the midfield releasing Mata and Herrera! Sanchez,Martial,Lingard to be replaced by Griezmann or Saul Niguez,and pay the likes of fucking Valencia to leave.Fucking drunk as a skunk.Jose can fuck off too,fucking twat!

    Whatever people think about how they regard this season the stark truth remains that we lost all three away games to the newly promoted sides,scoring just one paltry goal in the process.
    We then contrived to lose at home to the worst side in the PL and also dropped two points against the second worst team.
    Fact is,we are a zillion miles away from being anywhere good enough to mount a challenge and that’s before you even think about the soporific football we play every week.
