To be fair when the two blokes started on each other behind me at Old Trafford, Match Of The Day 2 didn't seem like a bad option for next time.

Sure both the last two guests didn't even watch the match. Kind of essential if you're then gonna talk about the match 😂

I just laughed out loud at "Edouard looks like a tin man"

I don't think they're in a position to remove him, otherwise I think they would have done so when he said it. They know he's the main part of why the show still works in this era. I don't buy the pushing him out stuff. It seems very fuelled by the usual sources. I'm sure we'd see a massive exodus if that happened similar to when they all stood by him when he wasn't presenting it temporarily.

I think a big part of him wanting to leave was getting so sick of his opinion being scrutinised like it was. I think Gary Neville has been a lot worse for it. He was the biggest voice on the Super League fiasco and basically just echoed what we all thought on a huge platform. Suddenly after that in his head he become the messiah for all politics and world news. Think that's about his 13th business that's gone bankrupt last week too. The real issue for the ones that hate him is quite clearly his left leaning views. The same people wouldn't have any issues whatsoever with him coming out with some moderate right wing views on asylum seekers. They'd be all for pointing out he was freelance then.

I think we'll very likely look back on the Ayew moments as ones that saved us if we do stay up. I'm just glad he's done as well as he has. Reid has been everything we worried they'd both be. I know the bar is very ****ing low these days but I wish every player had Ayew's professionalism. Not asking for a lot. The only possible redemption I could see from Reid would be in the Championship. There were clearly a few panic buys late on to satisfy Cooper and the fans.

Absolutely a huge part of it. I think they all naively attributed way too much of the success to Rudkin and although it's commendable the way Thais have so much loyalty - in our case it's absolutely killing us.

I framed those salt and victory crisps. God knows what they look like inside. It would feel like opening up someone's ashes if I had a look.

The issue isn't how many points we have but how we have got them. I was all for Cooper and still supportive of him even up until recently, but you cannot just blindly say because of the points tally he should stay when all the stats and performances show we are lucky to even have that many. I even think he would have a decent amount of support if the majority of performances had been bad but you could see what he was working towards. The bar is pretty low and our fans on the whole are quite patient. I don't think it's a case of delusions of grandeur at all. In the main we are all pretty accepting of where we are now as a club. Probably too accepting.

I don't like to feed the middle aged men toxicity that is absolutely exploited by banter pages and the like by putting up clickbait about Alex Scott. She and others like her are wrongly targeted at times like this and it's pretty disgusting to be honest. But it's quite obvious the BBC are caught between knowing they should go with their best choice (Chapman) because they can't risk it going the way of Football Focus and many others. Yet know that is nowhere "progressive" enough for the modern era so want to get a woman sidekick in. Which he's rightly said no to.

He's always 100/1 for the manager job in my local bookies when it becomes available. Then again so is Engelbert Humperdinck.

Good news lads - I had a dream last night that Cooper turns it around and we go on and win the League Cup.

Football Factory or Pop Idol?

That Ginger Programme seller woman, Vardy, Ya mean man from Football Forum days and probably the Birch

Quite sad how many of our fans now turn on him because of his political views. Let's face it he proved everyone wrong and then some with his presenting career. Quite easily the best football presenter there is and will very likely only be properly appreciated when he's gone.

What else ya gonna do? Wank off to pop idols?

Least he got on for 1 minute when we needed a goal to avoid relegation to League One for the first time in our history.

His name has to be the most random announcement I've heard on the PA. No one knew who he was. Can't remember what game it was he was on the bench but that just triggered a weird memory.

For all Cooper's faults, is not mentioning injuries a bad thing? Why have been become so accustomed to managers letting the opposition know? It has allowed for ridiculous rumours on here regarding Vestegaard and now Ricardo but maybe the manager just doesn't want to say?

Least Dick Turpin wore a cape

Dalot was there to be got at. Just a shame we didn't have a Referee capable of ignoring the fact he was at Old Trafford and it was Manchester United. The unconscious bias that Gary O'Neill recently referred to is so blatantly obvious in football. I'm not even sure if you'd call it unconscious. Do they still give obvious fouls? Yes. But if an away player fouls a winger 4 or 5 times at a big club's ground and the whole stadium goes berserk, he's giving him at least one card.

Oh for sure. For both of them it applies. Could easily be a scenario where Ricardo went to one of the best clubs in the world and Justin featured regularly for England.

We must have some seriously high stats for tackling and over turning possession but it's actually unforgivable how a football team that is coached professionally all week can look so utterly clueless when they get that possession. Like just genuinely lost. Fatawu and Facuno look so good, if still too inexperienced. They get into some great positions and beat their men but there was nothing in the way of stretching Man United to give them anything to think about. So it's time and time again left to individual bits of brilliance that just weren't there today. What's frustrating is Man United looked shit again. Absolutely there to be got at. Yet we defend too deep and still look like we will concede any time someone half decent picks up the ball. And we are nowhere near good enough in attack. We aren't a million miles away from a decent Premier League team but we are being made to look it by absolute ineptitude.

When someone says "exceptional spell in their career" I think more a few years at a top club, not 2 minutes at Portman Road.

I think if we are honest the system Enzo had him playing in probably prolonged him and gave us one last season with him and let's be thankful that happened. I think any talk of him coming back is now over. Neither him or Justin ever came back the same player they were and we need to replace both as soon as we can. If anyone thinks we are getting either to play up and down the line as a traditional right back and capable Premier League player again then you need your head testing.
