Tyrone Shoelaces

Yes, worst Utd team I’ve seen in a long while.

I agree regarding spirit but - 1st one shinned in a la Jason Roberts, 2nd a massive deflection. 3rd a pretty kind pen. We could have done with just one of those today.

It was ok at Leeds when we knew we be under a siege but today at home in a game we needed a result from ? Not really.

Got it in one. Score first and we’re ok. Go behind and it’s over.. once it went to 1-2 it was over. We have no self belief, desire, will to win. All the things you need to get back in a game.

He followed that up by saying “ so sign the best one you can afford “. Maybe we did ! Keep hold of Kaminski and we wouldn’t be in this mess.

That was just unlucky, the ball hit a divot and bounced up.

Brian Clough once said - “ Nobody can lose you a game quicker than your goalkeeper “ . He wasn’t far wrong.

3-0 up and cruising and we made a right meal of seeing that one out.

If things don’t change dramatically it’s hard to see how we can stay up next season.

In all seriousness I can’t name a team in this league I’d fancy us not to lose to at the moment. You need to score goals to get results and apart from Sammi nobody even looks like scoring.

When have we won a game that had everything riding on it under the Chicken Chokers ? Just name me one big game were we were under pressure for a result and we didn’t just lie down and die ? Just one. The club is rotten from top to bottom.

I can’t get excited about any of the Premier League teams. To me it’s like the reply Eisenhower reputedly got when he asked his leading scientific adviser how the Russians had managed to launch a satellite before the USA. “ The thing is Mr President - their Germans are better than our Germans “. There’s not much local allegiance going on. It’s not like when we had four Blackburn born lads in the front five of the team in the old first division back in the day.

I was reading an article in my paper by Jonathan Wilson today - “ When the authorities introduced the maximum wage for players in 1901, the aim was less to protect the profits of club owners ( although by time the maximum wage was abolished in 1961, that had certainly been the effect ), who were restricted in the dividends they could draw, than to prevent wealthier clubs offering higher salaries to lure the best players, upsetting the competitive balance that made the league viable. The two factors that have done most to destabilise existing league structures - the inflationary soaring of players wages and the ever growing gulf between rich and poor - were foreseen and addressed by the Victorians who established the football league “.

A draw would be a decent result but it’s essential we don’t try to play for one

The Everly Brothers - When Will I Be Loved

We’ve all seen those given.

He never looked like scoring with any of the chances he had tonight.

Jackson could have easily had a hat trick. As for that Mudryk ! Two chance to put the ball into the mixer at the death and he put both balls out beyond the far post. Unbelievable, How much did the pay for him. It reminded me of MGP at the end of our relegation game against Wigan. Free kick with 30 seconds to go, everybody comes up for the ball into the mixer. And he put the ball into Row Z !

You’ll have to describe the top.

People wear trainers for everything now. I remember getting my first pair in about 1966. Light Blue “ Adidas “ leather ones , I can’t recall the name. I must have been the first in Rochdale. I had to order them specially from our local sports shop. Pre season we’d been training on our local pitch and we went to the pub after for a shandy. I didn’t bother taking them off and when we walked into the pub it was like I had two heads ! All the old blokes were staring at them and muttering into their pints of mild. Remember when you could actually ask a shop owner to order something for you and they would ? I was looking through some of my mums old photos the other day and I came across one I’d had taken by one of those freelance photographs that lurked around main streets in the day and pubs at night. They’d take your photo for a small fee, take your name and address, and post the photo on to you later. Oliver Reed plays one in the film “ The System “ which is all about similar guys at a seaside resort. It’s on YouTube if you ever have a spare 90 minutes. I’d be about 19, I think I’d just been for an interview, and I was wearing my Sunday Best. Navy blue 3 button mohair suit, a sort of paisley tie and a light blue silk pocket hanky. Made to measure at “ Mr Senior “. Everybody my age dressed like that then. Casual clothes were only just emerging on the scene. You’d wear a suit to go to the football !
