Given the whole new start on the new platform, I thought I might try and start doing an ongoing music thing, almost an opposite of a deep dive, which I’m going to call #7days7songs - a quick splash into a different artist each week.

Sometimes I might have a bit to say, sometimes I probably won’t.
Troy Parrot hat-trick - If the headlines aren’t ’who’s a pretty Troy’ then every football journalist should be fired.

I misread this as 13 years and was so confused
Luka Modrić has played for Croatia alongside someone born in 1971 and 2007:

Born in 1971: Niko Kovač

Born in 2007: Luka Vušković

Modrić had already played for Croatia 13 times when Vušković was born.

Howe away so bad

Also, 8 points from Liverpool (a), Brighton (h), Forest (a) and Spurs (a) is a very good return for a team who at best are aiming for 4th.

Get in United, would have been extremely harsh to have lost that.

Lose so much when Casemiro goes off.

Important goal that though, changes the mood music massively.

Spurs were shite.

Mbeumo’s header in the build up to the goal was so smart, kept the attack alive

Feels like there’s a general reaction of disappointment at the result today - if United can win their home games and pick up some draws more frequently away from home, there’ll do well.

I thought 7 points would be par (for a top 6 chasing team) from Liverpool, Brighton, Forest and Spurs.

Not a bad result, definitely a game we’d have lost last season.

Tense listening again.

Thought Casemiro was impressive at the weekend and it got me thinking -

He came off when we were 1-0 up at Fulham
He came on when we already 0-3 down at city
He got sent off when we were 2-0 up v Chelsea so missed the 1-3 defeat at Brentford
He came off at 3-0 v Brighton

I see Jonathan Wilson hasn’t written about United for 3 weeks 🤔

Just seen the Amad penalty incident.

Fuck me.

Imagine losing at Brentford.

Just as well Dick Van Dijk had his team talk this week.

At 3-0 (and even 2-0) it was the first time in a LONG time I felt relaxed that United would win the game.

Obviously got edgy at 3-2 but I do think 4-2 was a more accurate reflection of the match.

United looked really good in the main.

Get in United.

Excellent until the subs and thought it highlighted why Kobbie isn’t trusted yet in CM, too often ahead of the ball.

In De Ligt, Casemiro, Bruno, Mbeumo and Cunha, United have a really reliable spine.

Going to be a while until I stop thinking ‘if only we’d won at Brentford’.

In saying that, will be a while until I stop thinking ‘we won at Liverpool!’.
Glass now not just half full but positively brimming over!

Fucking get in United.

Radio listening is unbelievably stressful.
October 19, 2025 at 5:35 PM
Nice boring 2-0 win.

Keeper didn’t have much to do but looked calm in almost everything he did.

Casemiro MotM but de Ligt and Sesko also standouts.

Oh the Apple Music ‘station for you’ has just spat up ‘It’s A Heartache’.

NOT NOW APPLE MUSIC, NOT NOW!

If (and if might be doing some heavy lifting here for all the wrong reasons) Sunderland beat United end next week, they’ll have double the amount of points United have after 7 games (and United will pretty much continue with their average of a point a game under Amorim).

Fucking hell.
Sunderland will end the day in the top four of the Premier League - after five or more games - for the first time since March 2001.

Judging by the poll on the UWS forum, safe to say Ruben has well and truly lost the moderates.
