If we dare to look outside of our Manchester United bubble it’s clear that #MUFC fans aren’t the only ones on a rollercoaster ride this season!! 🎢 📈 📉

In light of our good friend Sarah’s personal revelation my question to you all for this December morning is:
What’s your most outrageous ‘misheard lyric’?

Morning! My mind has been blown with The Smiths lyrics.
I thought it was "a jumped up country boy"
What the hell is a pantry boy anyway!
Questioning everything now! 🤣

An excellent if not uncomfortable read for some of us. This headline is loaded.
The demand for instant gratification in football is unrealistic and damaging. Patience is key
Clubs and managers are sensible to block out the noise from fans and social media — doing so allows them to think and act more rationally

We’ve lived through a lifetime of political spin where politicians are coached by spin doctors and powered by quangos with motives at odds with the electorate. There are small signs of change on this front just recently so let’s hope a ‘politics of authenticity’ shines through in the future.

Props to Ayden Heaven today. He’s got his flowers but we’ve seen in recent years what the weight of the #MUFC shirt can do to players. To get back on his horse after a 45mins to forget vs. West Ham takes some doing. It would’ve been too familiar for him to just buckle under the pressure - but no. 💪🏼

Just wondering whether your face was reddest at halftime or full-time, mate?! 😂

Looks like all the 'irrationally reactive fans who seem hellbent on sowing discord' are out and about again. Wonder why that is? Maybe because we've just given Wolves their first goal since Oct and we look awful against one of the worst PL sides ever?
Get Amorim gone, the season can be salvaged!

Having an opinion is hardly being objective. If you’re neither Amorim in/out then maybe you should remind yourself that; United we stand & divided we shall fall. The last thing this club needs is to be surrounded by irrationally reactive fans who seem hellbent on sowing discord.

Full-time verdict:
Yes, Wolves are bad, but that’s a solid win. Also, the scoreline doesn’t always reflect a game. I thought #MUFC were playing decent in the first 30mins but people are often blinded by the little box in the corner of the screen. It’s understandable given United’s track record. 🙄

Halftime verdict:
I’ve liked that #MUFC didn’t always choose the easy pass in that first 30mins at least. They’ve been guilty of taking too many touches/making too many passes in buildup recently so it was nice to see positive & confident play. Absolutely criminal to concede in added time though.

Scholes & Mainoo: Both made a similar amount of starts in their first couple of seasons for #MUFC. Two obvious talents separated by time & the fact that Scholes had an established team with complimentary players. Mainoo needs to go on loan because United just isn’t the right environment for him.

I don’t think some fans realise what they’re calling for. The decision makers at #MUFC seem to have realised, not before time, that it might not be the host of sacked managers that were the problem. The same ‘spine’ of players have seen off several of them. The rebuild is serious this time around.

I’m hurting like everyone else, but #MUFC are:
- Level on points with the champions
- One point behind the FA Cup winners
- Two points away from a CL spot
- Playing in the most competitive league in the world where anyone can take points off anyone else
- Twelve months into an umpteenth rebuild

I thought #MUFC were better in certain areas tonight. First half intensity and movement was arguably the best I’ve seen this season…that’s not saying much though. Second half you just want them to kick on and go for it but they decide to try & defend the lead only to make a mess of it.

Full-time verdict:
One point more than #MUFC got against WHU last year. Too wasteful in the end and the main culprits really should know better. United are still a 45-60min team & we need to accept that. Collective mental fortitude is clearly an issue as they simply can’t defend a lead.

Halftime verdict:
Thought that was some of the better football #MUFC have played this season. Intensity and movement can’t be faulted. Just lacking that incisive last pass and a clinical edge. United seem intent on winning a penalty tonight. AWB nailed on to be MOTM. 😏

Last night’s results proved again that the competitive balance in the PL has levelled out massively. I know PSR etc. is seen as a bit dull and lifeless but I’m surprised there’s not been more talk about this. Changes afoot that could impact the competitive balance and PL scores even further.

I post my annual YouTube recap because it’s a bit of fun. I do question the accuracy of the results though and it’s not unreasonable to suspect in this day & age that there’s an agenda involving our chosen provider and unscrupulous record labels. I’ll get my tin hat on again!😂
