In a Pub somewhere Jose Mourinho is offering Ole a slow-clap of admiration for a well-Parked Bus.

It's still early so he might eventually come good, but as of now Nicolas Pepe looks like one of the biggest busts in recent history.

Dean Henderson is arguably Uniteds best performer this year and he's not even with the club.

On the bright side, the win drops United down to 14th in the table.

I was pretty disappointed with Spurs draw at home to last place Watford who couldn't buy a goal. I still am. But then Sheffield United wins and the day gets a little brighter. At least until tomorrow, which might suck again!

Only took him seven years but Spitty apologizes to Paddy for his support of racism. But of course he has no idea how it happened.

It just happened because.....Liverpool.

Quote:
Carragher said: "There is no doubt we made a massive mistake; that was obvious. We got to the ground, had our lunch and then had a team meeting - I don't know if it was the manager [Kenny Dalglish] or [coach] Steve Clarke - asking one of the players if he was still wearing the shirt, and that is the first I had heard of it.

"I am not lying and saying I wasn't part of it because as the club we got it wrong, and I was vice-captain. I am not sure who was actually behind it. I don't think it had anything to do with the manager Kenny; I think it was the players who were close to Luis in the dressing room, who really wanted to support their mate.

"Maybe I have to look at myself now and say I did not have the courage as an individual to say 'I am not wearing it'. I don't think everyone within Liverpool Football Club thought what we were doing was right but I do think as a football club, or you as a family, your first reaction is to support them even if you know that they are wrong, and that is wrong."

Evra added: "When I saw it I was like, this is ridiculous. This is unbelievable. You put your own club in danger when you do those things. You always have to support your player because he is from your team but this was after the ban. If it was before and we were waiting for the sanction, I would understand.

"What message do you send to the world? Supporting someone being banned because he used some racist words."
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50133876

Bold question is for those here that supported Bitey and his racist actions.

How about own it, and identify how it developed.
He calls out racism, & wants to end it? Then don't hide it behind some ambiguous curtain of teammate culture.

Cowardly.

He's just concerned about distancing himself from it and saying Dalglish probably wasn't in on it either! They were all blindsided!

I mean Dalglish's comments after show how disgusted he was at this display.
Quote:
"It is a great reflection of the man as a character, a person and a footballer that the boys have been so supportive and so have the supporters.
It's a great reflection of the club that they would support someone like that just found guilty of racist abuse.

5-0 Leicester at halftime. Brendan keeps this up he'll be managing United next year.

6-0 now. I think Ole's already packing his things.

How often is it that a Club pays a world record fee for a player and then for that player's old club to be better off without him?

It's kinda fun to mock Brendan, but he really is a quality manager. As for Maguire the bigger indictment isn't that he's poor or anything, but that Leicester got what appears to be an equal replacement (at least) in Söyüncü for £60 million less. Leicester are obviously a much better run club at the moment, so you wonder if Brendan would even consider leaving for United.

I still laugh whenever the "3 envelopes" is mentioned. That motivation tactic is beyond stupid...

yeah, let's talk about Maguire/Söyuncu in a 9-0 win. WTF. I swear, some of you and your agendas ...

Feel sad for Hasenhüttl. Quality manager, but that's gotta be the end for him.

Rodgers gets made fun of because he is a real life David Brent with a touch of Alan Partridge

How do United come up in a Southampton thrashing though? Maguire has been the least of their issues this year

Beautiful buildup to the Brighton winning goal. Ended up being an own goal.

Pulisic comes out and snatches a hat trick for Chelsea.

He's looked really good off some bad mistakes from Burnley

I think Marco Silva is well and truly boned.

I do so enjoy watching Everton fail though.
