Alan Carr: the most ill-suited person to take on a position of immense ungodly power since David Moyes was appointed Manchester United manager in 2013.

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

So, why did United’s win today not count and will Amorim get any praise for it? #mufc

Amorim faces crunch clash, Premier League buildup and more – matchday live

⚽ News, previews and discussion before the action starts ⚽ Fixtures | Tables | Bournemouth go second | And mail us Jean-Philippe Mateta has described his first call-up to the senior France squad as “a dream come true” after the Crystal Palace striker was selected by Didier Deschamps for the World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Iceland. The 28-year-old was one of France’s overage players at last year’s Olympics and scored five goals as Thierry Henry’s side won a silver medal. Mateta, who played the first half of Palace’s win over Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday night in Poland, has also represented Les Bleus at various youth levels. Continue reading...

I fully understand the scrutiny and pressure Amorim is under, but I wonder what sacking him now would achieve. Yes results would improve in the short term, but for what – finishing 6th or 7th rather than 11th or 12th? #mufc might as well keep backing him.

Apparently Manchester United are playing well. Is it true or another grand illusion? And how much hope are fans allowed to have?

A new hope: those underlying numbers

Are Ruben Amorim's Manchester United team actually... good?

-Bergkamp didn’t mean it.
-Gerrard isn’t top 10 PL CMs.
-Cole Palmer isn’t all that.

Everybody should absolutely view this as an invitation to drop your spiciest soccer takes.

I've never listened to the pod but usually quite like Osman. Good on panel shows and has a sharp brain. The film is so damn ponderous though.

The film is really quite poor.

Penalties don’t count, wins don’t count if they’re against 10 men. What does count?

Oh come on, give us SOME credit. When United win, they don’t win in the right way, apparently. Getting tiresome. #mufc

The Athletic | Football @theathleticfc.bsky.social · 21d

Manchester United have not won a Premier League game since March (3-0 against Leicester City) unless they scored a penalty or played against 10 men.

Even when they seemed to be in control, they let Chelsea back in, conceding from another set piece, resulting in a very nervy ending.
