I wonder what odds I'll get for a Manchester Derby in the Championship next season. ?.
22 Oct 2026 09:10:20
None. Citeh will be playing in a non-league somewhere.
22 Oct 2026 10:01:21
Hopefully but I wouldn't get your hopes up Fizz.
21 Oct 2026 19:52:51
Look, I've had a few glasses and I am hacked off with the result and performance, but I have a question for those of you that go on the live chat.
Why do you put up with a Liverpool fan basically taking over the chat? Yes, benny verbal diarrhea ballet. I can accept we are poor, I can accept United fans slagging the team off, but a Liverpool fan, no, no, no.
I don't get it, people happily engaging with him whilst he slags the payers and clubs off, are you all wearing half and half scarves? Forget the club, is that how far you have all fallen? Get a grip people.
21 Oct 2026 20:09:15
You've just made his day.
21 Oct 2026 20:17:01
How do I find the live chat?
{Ed033's Note - On Man Utd matchdays there is a link at the top of the banter page.
21 Oct 2026 20:11:59
AJH
Agree I think he should be banned from live chat, it is beyond banter and in honest really annoying. I asked in one of the previous games live chat if there is a block that works in live chat.
Seriously Ed can we have a block that works in live chat.
{Ed025's Note - i will go on the live chat myself and ban him Red Man..
21 Oct 2026 20:57:56
I couldn't be bothered tonight Red Man as I knew he would be there blethering on. He's very odd.
{Ed025's Note - not any more he wont AJH..
21 Oct 2026 21:08:44
I agree, AJH. I do not mind some opposition fans coming in when they genuinely watch the game and are pleasant—Malaga Gooner, for example.
I have joined the chat the last couple of games and noticed the constant underhanded and sarcastic comments. I do not mind a bit of banter here and there, but, seriously, the constant trolling is just overbearing and prevents actual fans from being able to discuss the game.
{Ed025's Note - you are right Kurtis, its sorted now mate..
21 Oct 2026 20:57:46
Thanks Ed.
{Ed025's Note - no problem mate..
22 Oct 2026 09:14:34
Agree AJH. Initially, I hoped he would be another Malaga Gooner, but bennyballache soon became a toxic, annoying arse.
Thanks, Ed025.
{Ed025's Note - we have seen the last of him Fizz..

The day i start worrying about someone teasing is the day i give up.
The day i judge how i interact with people judged on what club they support is the day i give up. Most of the time he is on the wind up but that's OK in my book.
That does nullify any sensible interaction most of the time but that's his own fault and he is not looking for sensible interaction on our live chat ?? There are idiotic views imo on this page regularly that we interact with people here slag off the club worse than he has ever done that's for sure.
22 Oct 2026 13:10:28
Yeah, but you're allowed to slag off your own club ?.
21 Oct 2026 19:49:40
Awful. Abysmal. Embarrassing. Sackable.
That's enough on that game.
I would strongly consider dropping Bruno if I was in charge. He's not playing well.
And because there is no striker and the team needs more bodies in the middle of the park it means the team is unbalanced tryjng to fit him in on the wing or false 9
Id like to see Bruno benched and start Zirkzee up top. he's looked fairly good in the sub appearances this season.
Got to be worth a try, playing the current team isn't working.
21 Oct 2026 20:02:44
He should have been sold in the summer while his star power was high and we could get a decent fee. Now he will probably be another player we lose for free at the end of his contract. As good as he has been we can't rely on him.
21 Oct 2026 23:27:09
I think Zirkzee is right up there with worst signings of the last ten years, but funnily enough I'd probably start him sunday. Something has to be changed and maybe giving someone else a go who's been waiting in the wings might provoke something.
21 Oct 2026 19:40:31
Carrick can't survive now surely.
21 Oct 2026 19:47:46
They saying he should be sacked in the morning why wait that long.
21 Oct 2026 19:49:17
You'd think not Tim.
That was a very tough watch I've not seen worse in a very long time.
4 no 10s in our starting team?
No cf
Maz played rb lb and cb in one match.
Mad stuff.
And it's not even bed time?.
21 Oct 2026 19:52:30
Thank god my heart issues are to do with low heart rate because that bs had my blood pressure and rate through the roof. Absolutely p***** off with the players, carrick, Wilcox the whole damn lot. Bloody useless the lot of them.
21 Oct 2026 19:55:20
Can't wait to hear his post match press.
21 Oct 2026 20:02:49
Historically I have been late to the game with wanting manager changes and usually speaking of patience, looking at the positives and wanting to give managers time.
However, and this is painful as I love Carrick for what he did for the club, I think it is time. In hindesight maybe it should have happened in the summer.
He did a brilliant job at the end of last season, but the team appear clueless and he does not look like someone who can get the best out of the players and this is the killer for me.
they do not look like they want to play for him.
So, next question is who do they go for and mid season limits who it can be. Might be Conte, even if for next 18 months.
21 Oct 2026 20:03:16
Will just blame the injuries.
21 Oct 2026 20:07:37
Completely agree Ken, watched some shocking performances over the past few years but not sure I've seen worse than that. Might be a bit prisoner of the moment but that was abysmal.
21 Oct 2026 20:17:57
Should have been sacked at half time.
21 Oct 2026 20:50:51
Looking at Bruno's comments after they game I'm not sure they agree with what they are being asked to do.
22 Oct 2026 00:08:38
I was at work (local football club) watching it, and if I'm honest, as soon as we went 1-0 down I just laughed and stopped paying attention to it. It's almost expected now that we will manage to stoop even lower game by game now, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bournemouth smash us as well.
22 Oct 2026 10:14:19
Probably not, Tim.
And don't call me Shirley.
21 Oct 2026 19:19:35
Doesn't matter who we get as a manager. We have been through several now and after sometimes an initial honey moon period the old bad habits come back
You cannot blame the board or manager all the time. The players are just failing to do the basic things. Mark tight, pass forwards and to a team mate and run your socks off if necessary. I don't see anybody taking control of the team on the pitch demanding better. Confidence shot.
21 Oct 2026 19:24:01
I'm starting to honestly think they could be in serious trouble of getting relegated this season. I can't see who in the prem they can actually beat.
21 Oct 2026 19:29:22
Don't panic fallguy after the hull game shappy assured us we were over reacting so i'm sure carrick will get us to top 4 and champs league knock out stages.
21 Oct 2026 19:34:53
Fall guy I said as much the other day and was told no chance. We are this seasons spurs. Our own arrogance as a club and fanbase could cost us. We look like a relegation contender especially under carrick, if they dither we could definitely get dragged down.
21 Oct 2026 19:40:23
Utd v City in the Championship next year??
21 Oct 2026 19:25:04
This is carricks doing. not trained them hard enough, they're fat .only silver lining, its reached the point of no return. hes toast tonight.
21 Oct 2026 19:50:29
100% I blame the manager, for sure the board have let him down on signings but this is not an elite manager. He can't even get the team fit enough to compete which is just a basic. The players look like they have no idea what they should be doing. This guy has had all pre season. He's out of his depth.
21 Oct 2026 19:53:21
U honestly believe that nick because i dont, Ineos shown before that they aren't decisive so I've no faith in them at all.
21 Oct 2026 18:35:57
Shocking first half.
21 Oct 2026 18:48:02
Zero football IQ. I lost count of how many times a player seemed to look at a progressive pass and the knock it back to a defender. Then when a forward pass was chosen it would be to a player surrounded by Como players.
Like watching kids leggings it around a play ground after a 50p fly away.
21 Oct 2026 18:57:05
Great start to 2nd half ?♂️?♂️ absolute poverty. sorry carrick must be sacked tonight.
21 Oct 2026 18:20:24
Can we just pull out of the Champions League and not play the rest of the games? Not sure the competition would miss the shower this team is serving up!
21 Oct 2026 18:38:43
That was the mist shameful 45 minutes I've ever seen in my 50 years watching utd. lazy unfit attitude stinks can't control or pass a ball..absolutely pitiful from the lot of them.
Only miracle its only 1 nil, sorry its late October you can't be this unfit. I lost it with that, and I mean I shouted the house down with that shower. any more, carrick must go tonight.
21 Oct 2026 18:58:23
I'm so sick and tired of this team. This is worse than anything we saw from ETH, OGS etc. it's pathetic.
And these "best in class" clowns at the top will come out and say "we still have full belief in Carrick".
A manager who's only job in management was failing over multiple years in the championshio is in charge at United. Let that sink in. It's unbelievable how far this club has fallen.
I might have to switch the game off as if I see Carrick stood on the side of the pitch looking completely lost one more time I might damage the TV.
21 Oct 2026 16:51:28
Well, De Ligt play's tonight, can not see him playing 90 mins so fully expect Dan Armer to make his debut at some point.
He's a 19 yr old, 6' 4'' centre back, promising player with some physicality about him.
In total 7 Academy players on the bench, hope Shea Lacey get's an opportunity. He has been putting in some good performances.
20 Oct 2026 21:23:59
Noisy neighbours supposed to be backed by their fans? Really?
Not tonight. Huge amounts of empty seats. Emptyhad tonight.
20 Oct 2026 21:49:27
Saving it and the bananas to wind up everyone at the weekend!
20 Oct 2026 22:01:55
Maybe Tim but still. Just shows how small their fan base really is.
20 Oct 2026 23:00:53
Why are we bothered about this stuff honestly.
They cheated and will get their punishments. We however can't even get our sh*t together to get a serious amount of momentum going to take advantage when they are punished.
Way I look at it is, City get relegated and it's just another team that goes above us to further our decline into the wilderness.
21 Oct 2026 16:15:29
City should not be 'relegated'. They deserve, and should be, expelled from the football leagues. Nothing else can be considered to be justice.
20 Oct 2026 08:45:16
The Ruben Amorim interview posted below, is it legitimate or AI generated?
Reason for the ask is that i can't find the actual quotes online apart from a deleted Reddit thread lol.
20 Oct 2026 10:44:33
There's one from ETH out now too. Coming from all angles atm lol.
20 Oct 2026 10:54:16
Yh saw that one in the athletic, it might just be old united manager week and we don't know about it. Think Big Ron Atkinson is up next.
20 Oct 2026 11:30:24
Frank O'Farrell is only half a paragraph.
20 Oct 2026 13:03:29
Brobbey has been a beast for Sunderland. Not sure if he'd ever have had a statue of himself outside New Trafford in decades to come, but I'd choose him over Sesko even now.
20 Oct 2026 15:03:27
I like Brobbey, very physical striker. But even now there are questions if he is good or prolific one for our team. By the time Ten Haag asked for him he was half the player he is now.
20 Oct 2026 18:10:42
The mind boggles. Some beast less goals than sesko but played 9 more games. Interesting that they only have 1 assist each.
20 Oct 2026 23:07:08
Amorim was the right guy at the wrong time. He can say what he wants now, like ETH is, but the fact is they both failed to adapt and ultimately failed. Amorim came in and wanted to change things but then failed to change himself.
ETH, was the closet we have been to building a structure for lime term sustainability but then he alienated himself with the team and that last 12 months was survival football at its finest.
Carrick will go the same way, I am convinced if that. This whole circus needs to end tomorrow when Como beat us. Carrick is not the guy, he never was. He had no track record, he has no idea how to alter a game its real amatuer hour.
