Jack1993 Posted 13 January 2021 Share Posted 13 January 2021 All of the top managers know exactly how to stop Man Utd being a title contender and for that reason I genuinely wouldn't be surprised to see some absolutely horrendous tackles go in on Bruno whenever they're in a big game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on mate I was chatting to a United mate last night and I said that I couldn't decide what would be worse, United or Sniverpool winning it.....what a horrible prospect, and in a way i'd rather Spurs won it.

filbertway Posted 13 January 2021 Share Posted 13 January 2021 Just looked at Sheff United's next fixtures to see if they could feasibly put a run together Spurs (H) Man U (A) Man C (A) WBA (H) Chelsea (H) Currently on 5 points after 17 games. I do not envy Wilder at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Fox Posted 13 January 2021 Share Posted 13 January 2021 1 hour ago, Fox92 said: We had more than 5 points in Jan though. We had 10pts after 18 games. The month is irrelevant as we started late this season. We finished 6pts clear so would’ve likely stayed up. Although as far as I can see we were never as far adrift of safety as Sheff Utd are (9pts). But we were 7pts from safety with less games to play.

Jobyfox Posted 13 January 2021 Share Posted 13 January 2021 I think the one possible reason for some optimism if you support Sheffield United is that there are a number of pretty crap teams this season who you can’t envisage picking up loads of points. West Brom, Fulham, Brighton, Burnley and even Newcastle might start looking nervously over their shoulders if SU did manage to start a run.

Captain... Posted 13 January 2021 Share Posted 13 January 2021 So I've seen all kinds of headlines about Pogba's stunning volley, to the point where I actively looked up the highlights on youtube. It was pretty shit, Pope would have saved it easily but for a massive deflection that squirmed through his legs. I'm not normally one for " the big club media bias conspiracy theory" but the only reason I can think anyone would call thst a "stunning volley" is to push some alternative agenda.

Listen buddy old pal I think just stop hating on Utd / Ole it’s becoming a real problem for you and I don’t want it affecting your personal life. He seems a nice enough bloke and you have this weird obsession with him - it’s really starting to creep me out. It’s not healthy for you and to be honest Ealing you are better than that. I don't think he does, really. About as morally upstanding as the Catholic church. https://thesportsrush.com/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-under-criticism-for-shielding-a-player-accused-of-rape-back-in-norway/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 13 January 2021 Share Posted 13 January 2021 5 hours ago, AKCJ said: Oh they'll walk it eventually IMO. Their defence is ridiculous now. After we exposed them they have really knuckled down. Plus they've got the likes of Aguero to come back. Their games in hand are against Brighton and Villa, both at home. Manchester City get wrongly ignored, particularly on here in my opinion because of that game against us. That game against us was a bit of a freak IMO and there is no way we'd put 5 past them with their current side. That's not to have a pop at us, more that they have sorted their own issues out. The Ruben Dias signing is a lowkey contender for signing of the season so far. They have let in 10 goals in 24 games in all competitions since that game. That's an outstanding record. They aren't quite the attacking force of a couple of seasons ago but they're very good again. I'll give Solskjaer credit if they win the league but I think the fact it's being hyped up as some achievement already is a sign of how successfully he's managed to lower expectations. Can't play the biggest club in the world game and then get excited in January. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are dead right 18 points from that lot and zero serious injuries would be a wonderful lot of results. Anything more than 18 would mean going into the last quarter with hopes of better than a top four finish. I don't remember our last few fixtures as being wonderful either. If we do that BR will jump in my estimation from "very good" to potentially a great manager. We've got a good record of pulling off miracles in recent years so i live in hope, certainly of top four but it is difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think we have a more favourable run of games on paper from match 27 - 34 I think off the top of my head. We could be 13 clear going in to those last run of horror games 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draw/lose both of them and the fanbase will be in proper meltdown.

If it was that easy why have they been totally crap for the last however long, and why are Chelsea currently in mid table. Whether they should be there or not Ole has taken a ridiculous amount of flack rightly or wrongly, but is finally getting a very solid tune out of the players there. If you think that just because you have the highest wage bill you should be top automatically you haven’t been watching much football over the last, well, forever. "The race is not always to the swift, nor the fight to the strong. but that is the way to bet." I'm not a Man.U fan but OGS is a reasonable guy as football managers go, but I don't think he's a very good manager or the swift ,strong,and rich United would remain top. Compared with Klopp and Pep, OGS is a boy, but growing. Ferguson was of course a formidable mansger, maybe the best ever, altho I did n't go much on him as a man. He also was far from perfect, and most seem to think he left Utd. with little left in the locker, from which they have not yet recovered. Despite all this I remember getting a carpet burn as I dived across the carpet when I think OGS got them a European cup with a late goal in his super sub days , if I've remembered correctly.
