Wouldn't be surprised if we win most of our games in this run, it would be typical of this regime. Then we revert to type against bottom half teams.
2-2 if Dave turns up.

Still struggling to give a fuck... Ole is making me feel seriously tempted to give up on football and follow rugby instead... Just make it end... The older you get, the less you give a fuck. Family life does that to most. I still care but not as much as my 19 year old self. |

Family life does that to most. I still care but not as much as my 19 year old self. It’s funny, I am not sure that it’s age but I do know where you are coming from... If you were to see me watching a game you would probably see someone slightly nuts and unhinged... The passion is still there but the hope and expectation is being crushed... |

And it’s been exacerbated since Fergie by how mediocre we’ve become (and will continue to be) and the football we play. |

Yeah I would say this is an accurate assessment. It would absolutely destroy my week when we lost too. I can remember being about 16, in the kitchen with one of our games on 5Live and flinging a four pinter of milk at the back door after we conceded. It’s a young man’s game getting that angry at football. That’s what makes me laugh about them Arsenal fans who do that daft show. Grown men reacting in that way to what is essentially a child’s game. They literally spend their whole week shouting. I don’t think Ole has destroyed my passion for United or football, that would be a silly assessment. And I still love the sport. It just manifests itself differently when you’re a grownup with other shit going on. |

In many ways, it shows you how important clubs are to some people but there has to be more to life than losing your shit on AFCTV every three days. The guy who runs that channel is driving around in a Bentley. He's done remarkably well from their misery |

As you say, more to life. I think sometimes when you’re either younger or thick, there’s a notion that the person who shouts the loudest cares the most. |

Watch Matic subtly show his quality again, hopefully not contrasted by his age.

Can not argue with that line up. Its our best one, minus Varane and possibly Rashford. No excuses.
