(We Knew) It Was Coming…
Whilst it would be reactionary and wrong to be overly critical of the players following our first defeat for a couple of months, it is certainly true to say that "this has been coming". The standard of performances of the team as a whole has been slipping for the last few…
A look back at last night's hard-fought victory over Everton after our first ever visit to Hill Dickinson Stadium. The win makes it five from six for Michael Carrick... truly fantastic, given what he arrived to.
A look back at Michael Carrick's third win in a row since taking over the Manchester United interim managerial role from Ruben Amorim... and as usual with United, it was far from a stress-free afternoon for the fans inside Old Trafford...
What can you say about Michael Carrick?! The impact he and his coaching team have had on United players who looked lost and bewildered under Ruben Amorim has been astonishing.
Here, I reflect on victories over City and Arsenal... WHAT A START!
As Michael Carrick steps into the void left after the sacking of Ruben Amorim, I preview what lies ahead of him in the next few weeks, as well as looking back at Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada's performances to date...
As Ruben Amorim departs from United, my thoughts on 14 months that promised much but delivered little.

An impossible task (!), but here is a reflection on what we witnessed on Monday evening, as Manchester United showed both promise and vulnerabilities in a 4-4 draw with AFC Bournemouth... there is a lot to discuss.

A review of Monday evening's game against Everton, which was painful to watch but needs to be discussed nonetheless...
Noel & Liam will be very much Celtic fans tonight…. 😉👀😁👀
If only it were as simple as him requesting a transfer Marit… who would want him (who can afford to give us some decent money for him)?
Dortmund wanted to sign him permanently last summer but didn’t have the funds. Chelsea look like they’ve cottoned on that he’s a lazy bluffer… not looking good. ☹️
My take on the Jadon Sancho situation…

probably the most 'obvious' symptom of the current malaise at OT. On the bright side, if we can see it, you can be sure that Ruben sees it too. It won't be allowed to continue any longer than necessary (summer). 🙅♂️

I still can't believe it...👀
If my kid doesn't put that ball across the box in his school game this evening, I'll be absolutely livid with him...imagine watching a "professional" player who is RIGHT-FOOTED (!) refuse to play that in, instead cutting back onto his weaker foot. Unbelievable. Dalot is
The 4th part of a short series on #TommyDocherty at Manchester United.
Today we reflect on season 1975-76, as the Doc brought his exciting young side back up to Division One.

And then you need to appreciate how HUGE the United States 🇺🇸 is as a country… realistically only people living in the Tampa Bay Area can do this. I live in Arkansas; it would literally take me a day & a half of non-stop driving just to get down there… 👀
Thanks @maritstensby.bsky.social, very kind. ❤️

Today we reflect on season 1974-75, spent in Div Two; could Tommy secure promotion at the first attempt?

Would that be the same “foundation” that couldn’t even show a guarantee of the funding necessary to be included as a serious bidder when the Glazers were looking for a “saviour”…? 😳🙄🤷🏼♂️ Fronted by a man nobody had ever seen (has he been spotted yet…? 👀🤷🏼♂️)
Right… sure.
