I'm very much okay with Spurs passing us today.

 

But we must beat Swansea and need to get a result at Anfield later this month.

The way United are doing, there's a chance that they can pass your Liverpool squad. Might be a long shot but any slip up from City, Chelsea, Spurs and your Liverpool team and United will be right there knocking on wood. I respect Liverpool but only because they have one of the best managers ever in Jurgen Klopp

Honest mistake >> Legit doesn't know >> Has to be trolling.

This might sound like me being a biased United fan and honestly I would say the same thing if a United player did this. I was watching the Arsenal v Bournemouth game again today and I just can't fathom why Giroud was celebrating after scoring his goal. Arsenal are a team, I imagine, that have title aspirations you still had 5 minutes left to score against a 10 man Bournemouth team who are clearly holding on by a thread.

 

Look at Martial vs Boro, I know it was only 1-0, but he instantly grabs the ball and heads back to centre circle. It absolutely pissed me off when I saw that and I'm not even an Arsenal fan!

It was very much ill-timed.  Had it been a winner, sure.  But yeah, I wasn't exactly enjoying his celebration.

United win 4-0 vs Reading in their 1st FA Cup fixture. Rooney ties Sir Bobby Charlton in goals scored with 249 after deflecting home Mata's shot into the bottom corner early in their FA Cup match. Martial later doubled United lead to 2-0 after he had no trouble doubling their lead. Rashford recorded a brace as he first took Carrick and he slotted it home with ease. then a goalkeeper mistake by Reading and Rashford put it home with ease as the goalkeeper error was just icing on the cake for United. what a match as this pushes United's win streak to 8 matches. hope that they keep this good run of form going for the rest of the year lol. Go United!

United take the 1st leg of the League Cup semi final vs Hull 2-0. Mata and Fellaini strike for United as they extend their winning streak to 9 matches in all competitions. i dont know what the record is for the longest unbeaten run but they look to be on their way to beating that. hope that they keep it up. Mourinho has the boys going the right direction and doesn't seem that they can be stopped ever. Go United

FIFA just confirmed the World Cup is going to include 48 teams from 2026 on. I'm excited we get to see barn burners such as Equatorial Guinea vs St. Kitts & Nevis or Tonga vs Montserrat.

FIFA is probably the most corrupt greedy organization in all sport.  Football is such a great game even they can't ruin it.  Will be interesting to see how the Super League in China will affect the game though.

Probably not that much, the government just made rules so that they can only have a certain number of foreign players on each team.

@otherwise Your manager is emo AF did he get dumped over the holidays

 

http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/38490825

idk if he got dumped. but i don't think he thought this is what was going to happen when he took the job.

 

 

ps. losing 4-0 to Everton is really just icing on a cake of embarrassing performances.
