Man Utd fans staying oddly realistic; 'silly' to overreact
Wear’t plan Manchester Joined to execute that once again; the dreamers are being lifelike around what comes next if not the pundits.

Make it feasible for’s grasp our horses on Male Utd for now
Apprehensively waiting for the arcade to start on Saturday morning the last point I intended to go to merely a few hours later was the Donned Trafford committed waving Haaland off the peddle as he was addicted after implementing f*** unanimously in derby. It was a considerable day.
If you glance previously on Manchester derby arcades since Fergie vacated Joined have implemented rather perfectly as soon as noting the gulf in between the two over that time. Joined have 12 productivity to Metropolitan’s 14 using 5 draws. So overtaking Metropolitan isn’t rare. You would likewise recognize some of the shams used by Carrick in previous productivity versus Metropolitan. Dwindled block, lowered personal valuables, and a counter pummeling danger were unanimously on brandish.
Singularly, the majority of of those previous Joined productivity were either on a scimitar side or forced nourishing dosages of fortune. Not since perfectly previously Fergie vacated have a Joined side so utterly conquered a derby arcade. Both in and out of personal valuables Joined discerned the price and loaded down Metropolitan using a infinite energy.
Carrick was wise, which is a sweet indicator, because he resolved the famous point first. Joined’s pivot defensive trouble under Amorim was too a caboodle liberty in the midfield. So he channelled out the team narrow, closed the liberty in in between the queues, and posed more males in the middle. Paltry right.
In fussy tinkering Dorgu as a defensive winger who put into midfield truly aided. It conferred Mainoo the suffuse he warranted to adhere to Foden/Cherki as they wandered and supposed Amad and Bruno can jump out to press using Mbeumo as soon as the avenue arose.
Going onward it wasn’t a instance of tinkering it long and chasing using rounds. Joined dabbled out from the previously and hosted personal valuables in their own thirdly using family members member relieve, then a straight establish using the middle, typically by Martinez or a exceptionally sweet Casemiro, prompted fast and cutthroat impacts.
There was a moment too as soon as Mainoo recovered the sphere then instantly swivelled the importuning Semenyo and enacted out wide to start an burden. It was magical and especially the type of point he necessities to more of. He dabbled perfectly and appearances so a caboodle more comfy using midfield embrace yet was outshone by the majority of other extraordinary capabilities on the day. If he can execute that press overtaking rotate 3-4 times a arcade then he’ll instantly come to be the pivotal cog in our midfield.
Metropolitan yet were merely impoverished. The derby not surprisingly came at a sweet time for Joined enacted on the current form of Pep’s team and distinct defensive chatter upwards priorities. There was period toward the end of the first fifty percent wherein Pep amended the poses delicately and Metropolitan owned us pinned to our box, they were whacking it around it that acquainted means as soon as they unpick a lowered block yet the danger never came. They merely didn’t shoot. Feels a slight determine that period last season as soon as they filtered squandered, virtually determine Pep trying to gain them more linear has miscalculated the identification that channelled out them so dominant.
Peeking onward on Carrick’s Joined it would be stupid to confiscate too a caboodle from this capability. Obtaining upwards for big arcades versus adversaries hasn’t been Joined’s trouble. The announcements from Shearer of ‘this capability level has to be the criterion now’ merely isn’t lifelike and especially what he asserted after the Liverpool win previously this season. Derby arcades are inimitable because crews classically spot a greater than continuous level. Joined execute ultimata more energy and urgency in basic yet expectant that capability every week is indiscreet.
Strategically too Carrick can’t truly execute that to other crews. They will certainly have to win whilst conquering personal valuables and by unlocking the type of lowered block he deployed on Saturday. Joined have been smartly educated in burden this season, Carrick necessities to spot a means to retain that danger whilst fostering manipulate and staying tenacious in defence. That isn’t down-to-earth.
Dave, Manchester
…What a capability in the derby, not surprisingly our faultless in years, and I was thoroughly satisfied sufficient to watch the suit previously in complete and stresses on MoTD. The team filtered perfectly arranged, treacherous in burden, and the energy and impulse to press, defend and chummy down liberty was considerable.
Nobody can vex that we have the active ingredients of a sweet team and, therefore, there is some talent there; although here comes the b-bomb. Yet, these players have reflected previously that they can raise their arcade in the bigger suits, reflected in our nourishing number of times obtained versus the optimal fifty percent of the table this season. Our trouble has been the lowered-block crews as soon as we have more of the sphere – can we reprieve those crews down and, more dramatically, underline the exceptionally same cravings and impulse to job-related feisty off the sphere to defend perfectly as a team? Time will certainly educate, so permit’s retain our powder fully dry for now. (Rendering upwards 15 times at this phase is doable, yeah? Vanquished Arsenal and it’s simply 12! Shh, they’ll say you’re ludicrous).
In other description, I execute hope those Liverpool dreamers necessitating Slot’s head (did he not win the league last season or was that truly a impoverished dream) and wanting Alonso will certainly come in realise what they are letting themselves in for. They need to appreciate that his the majority of successful mechanism thereby much has been grossing utilise of 3 at the previously at Leverkusen, and arguably it was a equalize from this mechanism and oomph to placate the Madridistas that led to his demise there.
Supposing that’s admissible then ingenuity yourselves, as you’re in for a treat. As soon as outputs start going south, which they will certainly if even momentarily to restructure the team, it is unanimously you will certainly hear around from the media, ex-spouse-players and impatient other dreamers. Until he is ultimately hounded out using his 3-4-3 tail in between his legs previously to the Basque void and you lug in Stevie G or Ian Rush to conserve the day.
At the exceptionally least I reckon that’s how this point jobs.
Garey Vance, MUFC
Arsenal have obtained them on the ropes
I’m grossing utilise of a unalike analogy from my last submission to F365 (attritional base chatter upwards tennis for those that read it). After another week wherein the pivot adversaries stopped working to gain upwards ground, we’re now 58% of the means using the season and Arsenal still retain the upper hand, in some means resting 7 times understandable. That pit can go away instantly, it simply takes a couple of creep-ups.
We’ve obtained them on the ropes yet sanctuary’t capitalised. It applies at a macro level; as bargained the other lead personalities are attracting or wasting typically and we should be prolonging the pit, and at the mini level; every arcade we have so a caboodle personal valuables whilst perishable on away slight slight yet are reluctant to swing killer punches to go to the challengers off.
I’m sure Mikel Arteta doesn’t reckon they are hosting previously yet that’s how it appears from the outward. Now we have the capacity – refined team capacity and measurement – to kill off a arcade, for benefits purpose permit’s utilise it, wear’t permit adversaries out of the times off they’re pinned in (condone the ascertained chunk word fiasco around here) to permit them repossess.
The team – mockers diligent – is now merely around previously to complete capability from injury so if we can’t execute it in 2026, in one or more of the four competitions, then as soon as will certainly this ‘process’ ever before be able to supply?
For context, the George Graham crews of the late 80s early 90s, as soon as the phrase ‘1-0 to the Arsenal’ stemmed, truly dabbled a caboodle more entertaining football than we’ve witnessed in the last couple of periods. And without gawking at the record novels, I feel the majority of of the suits were won by greater ratings than so much this season.
Come on Arsenal. In the words of an Arsenal tale, permit’s fiasco around ‘using the handbrake off’ and fetch this implemented. Takeoff me from these nail biting over tight arcades and permit Metropolitan, Villa, and a few Victors League crews onward proneness the canvas. ‘Secs out’, as they say…..
TyA, Essex (sorry, yet I’ve now squandered fortitude using Viktor)
Can a defence win the Premier League?
Merely routed my beaux Houston Texans profligacy a generationally sweet reply using certainly hideous offensive output, and I launched suspecting around the parallels using Arsenal.
After virtually 2 decades of unimportant wandering, the bar lastly has a reply that is arguably the faultless in Europe over the past few years. And a caboodle determine Houston, the offensive side of the team is skip-start at faultless (yet thankfully, not virtually as tragedy-prone).
I’ve been viewing this totality Arsenal season, and retain claiming to myself – ‘it’s OK, the reply will certainly lug us’. Yet now I’m not sure anymore – after another missed avenue for 3 times this weekend, are we merely not sweet at posturing the sphere in the net? We’ve scored purposes from open fiasco around, yet I’ve never felt determine they can be relied on.
Does reply truly win titles then? Are there instances of crews that were defensively dominant determine Arsenal win nothing over a continual period? Have to crews be even infatuating on protectors instead of throwing silver money at forwards?

Gyokeres is certainly penalty
Oh no we drew 0-0 using the team that overtaken Liverpool and exceptionally virtually overtaken our householder adversaries. Oh no we stuck out our lead by another juncture. Oh no our striker didn’t rating once again he need to be the s***
Is he the pivot striker for a team optimal of the table, optimal of the Victors league and still in 2 Cup competitions? Checks notes, of training course he is. Have to he be scoring and aiding more? Of training course. Is he portion of arguably the faultless team in Europe right now? Even more of training course. He is penalty, fetch over it.
Mikel Arteta is plainly not an bonehead. He has Mikel Merino, who has an magnificent record at no9, sat on the pew and Gyokeres launching. Perhaps one of the current faultless managers in Europe becomes aware something. Or not surprisingly Stewie or Will Ford etc. realise more around football? In some means I unpredictability it. Lone 2 strikers have more than 10 purposes in the league this season, and no one was clamouring for Thiago. I would have suched as Ekitike yet…
Make it feasible for’s glide on and talk around more wondrous things determine how is Thiago made attribute Haaland for the gold boot? Whats thieving place over in Brentford, they are joint the majority of in form using Arsenal. Everton are now in opinion for a Victors League void, what? Fulham have snuck their means in too. A few weeks ago Leeds and Bournemouth were contrary ends of the table, now Bournemouth are acquiring dragged into send. Coventry are having a wobble, can Lampard fumble his opportunity to verify every man dishonorable?

Who is bottling this Premier League?
Humans go on and on around Arsenal ‘bottling’ ‘ the league yet rotates down to cite any other team. It’s hilarious truly,! Arsenal reduced two times and we’re allegedly a tragedy and attentive bottle assignments for implementing so . Singularly, it swivelled out to be a juncture obtained as Metropolitan and Villa truly bottled their arcades.
Social media outlets and brainwashed loyalists of such websites can’t speak or go to for themselves around which crews are tottering unanimously over the storefront. It ain’t Arsenal because they decrease times on a vibrant traveling peculiarity of four away arcades (two won and one tempted so much) yet, as said Villa and Metropolitan reduced times. Arsenal are steadily and reservedly tugging away yet no one needs to confess it.
I sanctuary’t created in for a while because I owned come to be too bored using the anti Arsenal inquisition around this, that and anything. It truly is magical to be loathed once again because it approaches particular human beings are snatching chit of this bar once again.
A couple of last times is that the simply top priority I have is acquiring Calafiori previously into reaction as we’re peeking exceptionally unthinking down that flank. Even more, allegedly Raya recovered exalt for his extraordinary conserve v Brighton. I would determine to cite his sweet cost and gliding tackle perfectly out of his box v Woodland, merely as sweet!
Come in Arsenal.
Cheers.

Aston Villa will certainly decrease into the pack now
Emery’s post suit conference can have showed up obscure. Shocking Redknapp and Young are not able to read in between the queues yet.
Last night Emery introduced Villa owned recovered to its ceiling. The many financial ordinances approaches we cannot complete using at the exceptionally least 5 other crews. We merely can’t fetch bargains implemented without a significant quantity of rising and fall clauses. The Conor Gallagher debacle truly showed how impoverished the predicament is.
Emery didn’t rant at the owners as they have been impressive and would spend if the can yet their hands are linked.
Peeking at Emery last night was stark. We merely squandered to a team who we ordinarily bank on a win, who were depleted using injuries, who came to Villa Park wherein we owned won 11 in a row and wherein productivity would have remarked us 4 times off the optimal. And squandered. And then to gain matters worse another sweet player offered who we truly can have implemented using last night goes and ratings on his debut for Roma.
That was the first of 5 arcades in 14 days using a dramatically depleted team. The substitutes off the pew outward protectors, goalkeepers and sons – Guessand (Henry he is not). Never psyche title mystification, merely watch the chasing pack gobble upwards ground on times for those winners league places.
It was enjoyable yet wasn’t it!
Villa follower Dave
…I started validating Aston Villa in 1991, a young lad from Ireland who felt a relationship using a team in Birmingham that educated off Irish heroes determine McGrath, Houghton, Townsend, Cascarino and Staunton. This unanimously has re-showed up to me as I recovered a taciturnity for Xmas termed Nobody Bears in mind 2nd which is a infinite glance at two second void finishings in 4 years.
The killer for me is that as I say typically to my non Villa validating sons, the bar proverb should always be “Villa will certainly always permit you down”. Listed below is a short run-using of the pain over the years since we last won a mug in 1997 – virtually thirty years ago by what is deemed a mammoth bar.
Wasting 3-2 to Male U in FA Cup as soon as being 2-0 at domicile using 15 mins vacated
Wasting to Birmingham domicile and away as soon as they returned to the optimal flight
Wasting a 2-0 lead at domicile to Arsenal in c2009 as soon as a win would have remarked us 8 times understandable and chummy to Champs League – instead a collapse after the draw saw us miss out
Wasting in last to Male U as soon as we be worthy of owned a pen and them down to 10 early on
Wasting in semi finals in Europe as soon as mammoth favourites
Hiring Steve Bruce after he relegated the the majority of caustic of adversaries
Being relegated
Wasting to Male U in Dec 2024 as soon as 2-0 upwards versus a team who were deemed in crisis
Wasting to a hellish Male U last May as soon as a win would have enacted on champs league
Wasting to Liverpool last Oct as soon as we were their simply win in eleven
Wasting to Everton the other day as soon as we can have posed a slight level of stress and vanquishment on an Arsenal who are realised to be a slight slight shaky at times
In the previously alluded out taciturnity, Dwight Yorke cases that he simply realised as soon as he vacated that the Villa standpoint was one that glorious inability was a victory, whereas at Male U finish second was an embarrassment.
I have come to come to be aware that this is endemic in the bar, and unfortunately a “DNA” cannot be hurdled.
I glance onward to a 6th void finish this season.
Paul, Dublin
Sprightliness’s a chunk of spit, as soon as you glance at it…
So asserted enjoyable tale and Python Eric Still – yet allegedly Pep has pilfered the enjoyable song certainly virtually – so can someone PLEASE educate him it appearances certainly f***ing dizgosstin.
He’s implementing tongue cartwheels using the flob every unsociable time the cam frying pans to him & even did it in the post suit conference a couple of times! I’m sure a finger rooting around for some eco-friendly nose gold is perhaps next.
Once you meld this using Thomas Honest steadfastly spurning to closed his cake opening whilst munching his gum using a jaw widening so substantial that you can park a Ford Transport next to his molars, can this is the real excuse their players are implementing as if numbed into staggered crisis.
Love & peas to unanimously those impacted.

Chelsea specialise in striker flops
I pretty reaped Gaptoothfreak’s listing of floppy strikers from the mail box previously, yet have to testament on his performance that Chelsea ‘design a f*** caboodle of wack strikers’.
This truly should read ‘buy a f*** caboodle of wack strikers’.
Certainly Chelsea’s trouble over recent years, and the excuse they have so the majority of gateways in Gaptooth’s listing (7 of 13), is that they wear’t design any strikers of their own who they think they can trust fund, and have owned to wager on the inconsistencies of ‘unfavorable calculated match, injuries, or stress and vanquishment and indications that Premier League adaptation is cruel’.

AFCON unfavorable from start to finish
I reckon it was fitting that the AFCON last was not surprisingly the worse suit of a hellish party. The party and the last was certainly a pierce fest.
On the last itself, the football was hellish, the ref was hellish and as for the end of continuous time, everything around the civil liberties and wrongs of penalty judgment, Senegal were discgraceful footprint off the peddle. FIFA should restraint them fantastically from the WC.
Ken, Cork, Ireland
Numerous referrals on the majority of things
AFCON
Senegal should be dramatically punished for their activities upwards to and consisting of the last being replayed, being stripped of the title and/or being outlawed from the next AFCON party.
Whether it was a reaction in the heat of the moment to some horrid refereeing verdicts going versus them or a willful ruse to grasp off the snatching of the penalty there necessities to be active, immediate, and crucial reaction to skip such a servile brandish from being normalised.
Glasner
I determine Glasner. He’s a penalty utility provider. As a Rangers and Liverpool follower he has brought upon some exceptionally confusing days versus two crews I adhere to while at Frankfurt and Royal domicile.
He has implemented a considerable project at Royal domicile charismatic the FA Cup, designing a wondrous mixture of defensive steel and sincerely eye-recording pummeling fiasco around. I’ve no unpredictability he is lined upwards using a more high-account obligation elsewhere. Singularly, his activities this season have been crazily selfish. I reckon a caboodle of it stems from the shambles Royal domicile obtained themselves into over Europe – if I was Glasner I’d be enraged using the bar.
Singularly, to allegedly throw a mood outburst to ensure Guehi couldn’t be offered by attaching it right to your own determination to linger at the bar previously seemingly merely a few months later telling the bar you aren’t signing a newfangled arrangement anyway is rather embarrassing.
I’m sure Royal domicile would love to have preserved unanimously those players yet that was never attending be the instance (and no this is not a PSR or ‘EPL Shameful as Fuck’ nonsense that some dreamers go on around as Royal domicile have always offered their faultless players going previously to Ian Wright, John Salako, Chris Armstrong, Gareth Southgate!)
Glasner is a wise man. He would realise this. His succeeding complaints over the weekend around having Guehi offered from under him merely previously a arcade and how it isn’t continuous for a bar to sell players determine Eze, Olise and Guehi in a reasonably short liberty of time is merely self-serving nonsense.
Liverpool
I speak as a Liverpool follower as soon as I say this yet my God our dreamers are peeving (as unanimously fanbases are at unalike times in unalike means). The reaction to shedding times at domicile to Burnley is not surprisingly a palette of a exceptionally poor season, an unwelcome record at domicile to engendered sides, a league wherein no-one appearances sweet at the minute perishable on a sensation of missed avenues and the majority of other things consisting of the newfangled schedule of a particular Victors League charismatic previous player.
Yet it sincerely truly feels to me that the majority of dreamers were merely waiting and wanting that things were attending go dishonorable for Slot because they still pine for Klopp. That they’ve never pilfered to him permit one by one dropped in love using him (as Liverpool dreamers often tend to execute using especially willful title charismatic managers).
Commonly this type of reaction is blamed on ‘Out of Towners’ or ‘Online Supporters’ yet it appears that the weekend’s reaction was the majority of widespread among suit going dreamers.
I reckon Klopp is a God of a man and a manager and I reaped Xabi as a player yet I would’ve reckoned the extraordinary project that Slot owned implemented in his first season would’ve ordered him both more respect and time in what is arguably the transition year that we defaulted last year while charismatic the title.

Not too a caboodle worry for Royal domicile
Have to be feisty being a Royal domicile follower right now, yet not that feisty. Owners of 2 prizes and still in Europe using some magnificent players at the bar.
None of the 7 one-time FA Cup victors who came previously Royal domicile are presently in the PL (Ipswich, Southampton, Wigan, Wimbledon, Leicester, Coventry and Portsmouth). With one voice yet Leicester have dabbled in the 3rd tier after charismatic the FA Cup. You have to equalize to Leeds in 1972 to spot the second the majority of recent one-time FA mug victor presently in the EPL.
Royal domicile have realised the goldilocks liberty in the EPL: not exceptionally sweet, not exceptionally impoverished. It’s led to 13 successive years in the prem. For a one-time FA Cup victor determine Royal domicile the strive is longevities and sustainability not becoming a football exceptionally power. Using slight slight opportunity of send and a credible opportunity of a rushed in Europe using the opportunity of a 4th trophy in one schedule year for Ismaila Sarr, it’s unanimously sweet.
