Good managers develop players. Under Jose this squad is going backwards, fast!
and in other news??
He ideas are spent but MUFC needed a name just none of the good ones wanted it.
On the plus side you might finish above Arsenal.
Hodgynd - at least we gave Kenedy some competition for worst player in the premiership this weekend 😂
Woodward looked very hacked off!
Bolton-supporting ABU Mrs Binners just said: “you know what you lot need....?”
”..... Big Sam!”
Grounds for divorce? 😂
Big Sam? Well it would probably finish you all off. How about putting the Ladies side out next week or get their manager in to give Jose some pointers about not being a ****.
His interview on 606 was pitiful we wouldn't have lost if they hadn't scored I think was the point to take away
I don’t think she was being entirely serious Mike 🙂
Pogba’s post match interview was even more pitiful.
”our attitude was all wrong”
Yeah.... no shit?
TBH it would be a great season to see Man U heading down and Leeds coming up 😉
Well according to fantasy football Mkhitaryan and Pogba deserve bonus points, while Mendy doesn't, I can only assume they didn't watch the matches before awarding those points.
3rd season mourinho syndrome... it's going to get worse before it gets better...
Thought it was a great game 😀
Brighton went after Utd and I think a lot of the Utd players thought they would just turn up and we'd roll over and take what was coming. Murray smelt blood and didn't give Bailly or Lindeloff a minutes peace.
Going forward Man U were pretty poor, IMO they were lucky to get 2.
Pleased for the players and Chris Hughton as after last week and there were a lot of grumbles that CH started with pretty much the same team and didn't throw in the new players after one bad performance. Liverpool away next for us which is going to be tough considering last seasons away form.
Loving that Spanish players are talking about going on strike if they play a La Liga game in the states.
Good on them. Is there a unionised industry with more power than footballers? Genuine question.
All the " ManYoo played badly" takes away from Brighton making them look very ordinary. It is fair to say Brighton had a good game ....
I hope Murray is on form this weekend ....
Stumped up for the Sky Day pass for the Newcastle game here, blimey Souness is still better about the fans hating him.
No the most entertaining games though
That was never a penalty! But it was definitely Rylan getting smashed in the face by Yedlans elbow - a proper Fellaini challenge- for the Newcastle goal, so it all worked out I suppose.
I’m looking forward to watching Maureen’s last game in charge tomorrow. If we get walloped by Spurs, which looks likely, then the inevitable meltdown is on for sure. He’s increasingly resembling Alan Partridge hiding in the footwell of his Rover.
Now that I’ve said that, we’ll probably turn them over. They don’t like coming to OT
Yeah, never a penalty but Giroud flinging himself onto poor Yedlins elbow was unjust 😉
Would like to have seen Richie playing a bit more central, he was stepping up to the Shelvey role with some great distribution in there. Diame looks like he is still in pre season which is a bigger concearn
Sky pundits were taking the piss though, not seeing that it could be a problem having 5 players out and having kids on the bench. It's got to come to a head by January the club needs investment all across the pitch
Next week is City, not looking forward to that one.
Slightly concerned this evening, I think I'm in range of Jose's toys if he blows this evening 😉
Complete change of personnel at the back, will be interesting to see if he even smiles!!
If it's right what they're saying on five live he's playing Matic as a centre back? Well that doesn't suggest blind panic at all, does it? The defence he played last week were players that he's bought in. Now he's telling them all they're all shite and they're not even on the bench.
Spurs haven't even scored at Old Trafford for 5 years. Their record here is absolutely woeful. We absolutely battered them here last season
They've got to fancy their chances tonight.
The only positives are that Valencia is back as well as Matic
I think they just said centre midfield there, but who knows
It's going to be fun I hope
Shaw/Jones/Smalling/Valencia.
RM.
The Matic thing was chucked in as a red herring. Apparently. How very Jose?
i’ve had A bet on a United win with a Pogba to score. Ever the optimist 😃
My fantasy team needs Pogba, Rashford and Trippier to score (Trippier assisting himself obviously)
4-5 Should do
Great first half! Wide open game. Shaw and Lingard both having blinders. Loads of pace going forward! Herrera is looking better as a defender than either of our recent 30million quid defenders looked last week. Just need Lukaku to get his shooting boots on
It definitely wasn’t a penalty, obviously 😉
Well spurs just found what they were missing in the first half
I just hope the Spurs fans are right in what they’re singing to Jose.
And if in doubt Fellaini is the answer...
Spurs certainly don't look that solid and will concede a few this season.
Can't quite hear, is it a witty tune about job security?
The very same Mike 😂
‘You’re not special anymore’ made me smile.
RM.
Taxi for Jose
Oh dear Binners....you won’t be taking the piss out of us for a while I fancy? 😂
And there was me thinking our result against Utd last week was something special.
Good team Spurs.....obviously difficult for a gooner to say, but dark horses this season.
Well Jose's leaving the ground is getting interesting. Kane needs to watch his yellow cards this season as sitting games out suspended won't get him the golden boot.
Worst start to a season since 1992.
To be fair to Spurs though, they looked great. Dark horses for the title indeed. We’ll be dark horses for relegation at this rate
Kane can just claim the goals his teammates score!!!!!!!
Oh dear.
Not sure he has all the fans on his side there!! I can still hear the last few bitching on the way home out the window here!!
Comments in the press conf are hitting peak Jose, away to Burnley next, could be a rough one.
Well played spurs
I was hoping that JM would have a long drawn out route to sacking, at this rate he'll be gone by October.
Keegan and Benitez will be disappointed to be outdone in the football manager meltdown stakes.
On the way to work this morning......TalkSport is brilliant Sam Allardyce co presenting and claims to have had 13 missed calls on the mobile from the Greater Manchester area..........haha fabulous.
He’s received the official kiss of death.....
‘The full backing of the owners’
Gone by the weekend then?
Office shortlist - No Man U fans allowed to Comment
Fat Sham - Obvious choice to save them from the threat of relegation
There is a promising young French Manager, got some good experience and sounds perfect to inspire the team Arsen something or other
Alan Pardew - Because it's just not the premiership without AP flapping around somewhere
Wonder if Pogba will push for a move to Barca by the end of the transfer window.
JM will be gone soon enough though so he may be better off sitting tight. Strange to see him play three at the back and press Spurs high. Very much not his mantra.
Jose when asked about difficult times:
“I think if you do what I did before the game, which was looking at the news and looking at Myanmar, I think that’s difficult times.”
He is right. Hope he can sort Utd out.
Maybe it's just a warm up for...
JM does provide great theatre when it all falls apart...
I still don't know why they employed him - Utd have always been about free flowing attacking football & a manager like him employ the exact opposite in tactics in order to win, that's why RM kicked him out twice & he was never popular at Real Madrid.
I can't think of any player he's actually improved as a manager...
As a Chelsea fan since 1969 and a long-term season ticket holder I can't help but have a little bit of love for him.
I thought the post-match interview with Geoff Shreeves was a touch of the old Jose. He had a bit of the devil in him and was using his classic misdirection trying to make a 0-3 home defeat sound like a good thing, he came across reasonably well.
It was only when he went to the press conference that he seemed to lose it.
Having said that I can't pretend that I'm not also quite enjoying watching the meltdown.

Fairly tough group for Liverpool, city look to have been treated the kindest by the draw.
Yeah, Pot 3 was always going to throw up a difficult group. If Benfica had lost their qualifier last night, Liverpool would have advanced into Pot 2. Ah well...they'll get an away result somewhere I think. City will breeze through their group. I reckon Spurs' group is pretty tough as well. I fear for Utd unless they steady things on the field...which they probably will have done by the time the competition starts.
Tottenham should come second in their group, Liverpool could come first second or third but should realistically better Napoli while PSG are hard to predict. United should also come at least second, but could still be a slow motion train wreck. And for city probably should win every game in the group, unless a second team is put out when qualification for the next round is safe.
Is it tomorrow that the transfer window closes for the rest of Europe? some of the big teams could strengthen yet.
Well I think that sounded like Liverpool getting away with one. Can’t wait to see the slapstick goal.
Just had to put my sunglasses on ...
Is Klopp trying to out do Firmino in the Whitest Teeth of the season contest ..mind you he needed to do something as they used to be absolutely rank ..
Sad isn't it when you have absolutely nowt to say about your team ..
Ashley has sucked the life out of me ..and although I'm a fan of Rafa ..the style of football being played is absolute shite ..wake me up when it's all over ..
Well, there's a proper nights football on tonight then?
Haven't got a clue what the Spurs result will be. It depends which Spurs show up. I've had a few quid on Liverpool tonight (2 - 1 or 3-1 with Bobby glowy-teeth and Mane to score). They're on form at the moment, and at the end of the day PSG spend their season playing mid-table championship sides, so I think that'll be the difference. I expect we'll get the usual Neymar shenanigans
.
I’ve yet to watch a full game this season.
Happy with the first five results of the premier league obvs ,plus the Scottish £5er off my spurs work colleague.:-)
tonight should be a different kettle of fish.
I’m looking forward to showing little J how silly Neymar looks rolling about for nothing. He’ll now probably be sublime & score a hat trick. 🙁
Will someone st BT Sport please ensure we never again have to endure Steve McManaman commentating on Liverpool games, please? Or anything. Ever again! But particularly Liverpool games.
He makes me want to carve my own ears off with a blunt rusty Stanley knife and then stamp them into a bloody pulp!
Just make it stop!
His commentary is terrible - BT Sport seem to employ the worst commentators and pundits. I think that ex-players should not commentate on their old clubs - they just sound like giddy fan-boys.
And three former Liverpool players as half time pundits too.
Great objective, unbiased impartial stuff. Where’s Gary Neville when you need him?
You ok guyz?
No i’m Bloody not Bravissimo! I had money on 3-1. Sort your bloody defence out! They’ve only played the equivalent of Accrington Stanley all season and they just put two past you 😂
...and I’ve had to endure 90 minutes of that half-wit sat in the commentary box in his full Liverpool kit
Aw binbinz - hope you’re ok hun.
Admit it.... you’re sat in a full kit, aren’t you?
I’m in a pub mate - but even after a few scoops, I’m just hoping you’re ok.
Hun.
I’m feeling the love.. anyway....
😂
The ones you love the most hurt the hardest. 😭
Not necessarily. I’ve also bought you one of these....
Watched the game in a hotel bar in Manchester, never knew there were so many PSG fans up here.
I was going to just put the hashtag #ABL (in the same vein as ABU) but I can’t imagine it’s actually a hashtag. Unless people are being ironic - since it’s a few decades before hashtags were a thing since Liverpool won owt.
#bittermanc #prayforbinners
Not too bitter. I had them winning as part of my accumulator that came in last night 😀
Well City were rubbish today. Too many players not performing and some complacency creeping in.
Well played Lyon though - they played really well as a team in stark contrast to the PSG show ponies last night.
This season is going to be a lot harder than the last one so we better get it together asap.
A Mourinho implosion looks imminent, judging by his comments on Pogba and the captaincy. I think he's saying to the board 'back me or him.' Will it be days, weeks or months? I think it's usually November.....
Please let him stay.
Pogba was just stating the obvious. That some of the best players in the world are being forced to play his ponderous ‘style’ of terminally dull, defensive anti-football.
I might feel a bit better about it if the spirit-crushing tedium of it actually worked, but the footballing world has moved on. Everyone knows that. Even Brighton.
It must be pretty frustrating winning the World Cup with some fantastic attacking football, then come back to be told there will be no more of that nonsense and you’ll be playing as a holding midfielder with a brief to bore the opposition into submission.
He’s clearly lost the dressing room. Again. As he always does. The sooner he’s gone, the better!
The sooner he’s gone, the better!
Is it wrong to take pleasure in watching the implosion happen very slowly, it's another evening that the toys could get over the stands...
It's great entertainment but it's going to happen less and less. Who's going to employ him after this one? (but I hope he stays too 😀)
Who’s going to employ him after this one?
Given they knew exactly what they were getting I'd think there are a few more before he ends up as manager of [insert more money than talent national side here]
