When the shit hits the fan, and they've got the wrong man, that's Scamorim! (Part 3)

Can’t stand Man Utd and I hope they sink without trace. But alas, I honestly do think they will start to rise up again. Mind you, it’s hard not to given how far they have fallen.

In the Premier League predictor I have Man Utd finishing 6th. Still not troubling the best clubs, and nowhere near the title, but I expect them to start to be a bit of a force again this season. If there are 5 CL spots they have an outside chance of fifth - for the life of me I can’t see beyond Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea for top four.

It would not be a complete surprise if their problems persist, and Amorim gets sacked at Christmas, but I think it will go the other way and they will achieve a Europa spot.

I want them to start to rebuild, gather momentum, finish runner up once or twice, then go back to being in the shit. Nothing was more painful for me through the 2000s than the endless false dawns and near-misses. I want them to feel what that’s like. They haven’t even started to plumb the depths of football despair yet.

This sounds like a Yakov Smirnoff joke.

“In Soviet Russia, urinal pees on you!!”

None of you even know what I’m talking about. Unbelievable. You people….

Some of the suggestions here are better than the actual truth - apparently they provide feedback on hydration levels

Anyone else read that with a Russian accent?

I have that kind of season as one of two possible pathways, somewhere 6th-8th for most of the pointy end of the season. The other pathway is full-on crisis, Amorim losing the confidence of the crowd and then the club sometime in early Fall.

The saving grace is that United have sold fuck all so far. Hopefully that limits them going for a baleba

Can’t see Brighton selling Baleba at this stage. If he goes they would likely be stuck in a lower table scrap for most of the season.

At the end of the day I don’t rate him much as a manager and I don’t think he is flexible enough, he is also too open when throwing someone under the bus and if a bad spell hit he would probably go for that option rather than taking it on himself like Klopp did.

He really does come across like Brendan Rodgers.

Apparently they looked like utter crap again in their friendly today.

As long as thier rising up takes place in thier new intelligent toilet and they continue thier sinking in thier old toilet :plunger: I don’t care what anyone thinks.

But, but, but…the new training complex? Isn’t that supposed to have given them what they were missing?

It did. A place that doesn’t stink of piss due to intelligent urinals. The only intelligence they possess.

1356

Those urinals are smart though.

I have it on good authority that they will just be passing the ball into Arsenal next weekend Sunday. Sesko to win the golden boot before half time.

It can tell the difference between 4-4-2 and 4-4-poo.

1359

Although given that they sacked all the cleaners, they’ll still be caked in piss in a couple of months.

Clever move to upgrade the training facilities. Now they can try to sign Ronaldo again, and show him how ‘on the up’ they really are.

I was tidying the shed all day, had Goldbridge on for a bit.

He went from predicting a 4/5-1 victory to moaning about how shite they looked.

At one point before the match he actually said, “I don’t want to say we are the next big thing in the Premier League…”

(hint - he totally wanted to say they are the next big thing in the Premier League)
