My dog didn’t give a fuck. He just licked his balls and wandered off.
I don’t want to know that either.
I feel they might try and do the opposite.

From Amorim to something “less experimental”. And then tomorrow when it’s still not good enough, they will want something sexy again. We see a bit of those reactions everywhere.
The shouts to go back to their DNA (playing with wingers is not DNA, by the way) would be actually going back to the past. Though I’m not sure whether their club will do what some of those shouts call for. We’ll see at the end of the season.
Football is I would say more of a free game, rather than simple. And some things in it are the same as on the day the game was invented. Blokes passing a ball to each other, getting past opponents, winning space, scoring goals and defending your own one. But it evolved with time by, yes, becoming more complex.
I’m not getting now into any sort of taste who likes watching what, I know that when I watch a game from the 00’s (I did that a bit during lockdown), yes there’s dynamism and end to end stuff, but dear me, some of those sequences of a team on the ball are just… wild. Fliper stuff. Is it of better quality than today? I would say no. That was the best of that time, this is the best of this time.
If it was simple, it would be also simple to fix things. Which often isn’t. It’s not exact science.
Sort of how Cruyff said, playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is.
Fixed
I just think it’s over complicated at times.
I think sticking to a rigid idea will ultimately lead to the inability to be flexible and that’s what I feel Man Utd are doing here.
I just feel I read endless posts here about what we can do for differently for instance and I do think they would make things more difficult
They have things to fix on a few different levels and it takes time.
All clubs go through these spells, this is not the first and not the last time a big club is in struggle before they eventually come back.
We’ve all been there at least once as fans of our clubs, thinking that we finally got it right and success is around the corner… then more changes and/or more time was needed.
Not counting an unexpected, sudden, wild and near triumph like Liverpool of 13/14, by the way.
It’s also the world’s most popular game where opinions how to fix things can be really wild.
I’m just waiting to see which media plonker will have the nerve to suggest Alonso is ‘in talks’ to become Manu manager. You just know someone won’t be able to resist. ![]()
I fully expect someone in United to raise a query because they are clueless
What’s this Carrick experiment about? Does he have a chance of getting it?
Is there not a link to Gareth Southgate there?
Here’s hoping.
United supporting work colleague is near shut down. Special times.
He was linked with the job previously, so i wouldnt rule it out completely.
He was in the job previously for 3 games.
I mean, there’s always a small chance for it to work for longer. Why would anyone categorically reject the idea at the start. See how it goes.
But their plan is to find a new man in the summer.
When do they phone Goldbridge?
This DNA thing is the most grating thing I’ve ever come across. Like did Ferguson rediscover it in the 1980s? After they lost it under Busby? No they just made some poor decisions on and off the pitch and bought into the spell of one man (That was Busby, it now seems its Ferguson).
I suspect it is from the same people who think football was invented with the Premier League.
Title: Carrick at the wheel, we a big deal.
How about not and let’s see the honeymoon wear off.
I watched that match and ours, what a difference, what boring and hopelessly bad football Slot makes us play, I can’t wait for him to leave.
Just saw that they managed to hire Steve Holland as one of the assistants.
There are no guarantees of course, but that is objectivelly a very good capture for United.
Maybe it’s for Gareth in the summer ![]()
