Could we appoint Michael Carrick as interim manager?

So it’s pretty bad Reds, isn’t it. I don’t see this team scoring many goals at all, until Sesko comes back next year…and he’s hardly prolific. We could be in real trouble. What’s the answer though? Some journeyman cast-off striker in the Jan window? Hoping madly there is something in the u21s?

Ashley Young. Lad. If you look around that studio and you can’t work out who the fool is.

Leeds should be down to 9. That’s two high, heavy challenges on United players’ standing legs. Regardless of what Neville doesn’t seem to see.

I’m listening on BBC 5live. Is that a sending off, Reds?

That Tielemans deal looked easy and too cheap at the time and I think we’re seeing why. Mbuemo through the middle is better than Cunha, but he still looks ineffective and off the pace. Yoro been brilliant, about the only bright spot.

Delighted that United don’t have any CEOs that were involved in those dodgy deals City did for years. Or indeed any Directors of Football that were involved in any transfers like that. You just know that’s where the media will be interested fs

And what of brand Abu Dhabi? What’s the halo sports-washing equivalent of The Streisand Effect?

So that guy who live streamed himself trying to drown someone by stabbing their boat with a knife and who has been continually blocking ports and intimidating communities with a band of masked thugs. He’s surely just going to be arrested right? Right?

This is some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Enough! Arrest them, charge them, process them, try them, jail them. All of them.

Reds that was rank. Also, a point feels fucking good to be fair. Carrick needs to get out of this fug of picking only his most experienced players - too many of those are out of form.

Fuck are those subs

I’d really like to see Shea Lacey here. There is some space down Fulham’s left side and i think he’d get something out of that.

I just don’t know what makes you hate an RNLI volunteer. How could any human hate that? I just do not get it.

Shit that was x-rated Reds. So many poor performances. After United’s 2nd goal, they created nothing at all. Both left back and right back are the root of the problems this team has.

Jamie Redknapp was an amazingly average footballer. As a pundit he’s simply a dick.

Cunha stays and Rashford off? That’s madness

Both city players were offside

Fucking hell

Cunha is not the man for that CF role, he doesn’t have the instinct to go high enough. I’d actually change him for Sesko at HT I think.

Milo is a proper wrong ‘un. He knowingly did real harm with his influence, back in the day. He deserves everything that’s coming to him next.

It doesn’t get any cuter than this, folks. 😍

What a 45 minutes of football from Kobbie. Player. Tieleman’s knees don’t look much younger than Casemiro’s to me. How a LB can score a goal at United’s far post and then get even more space for a free hit 2 minutes later will forever be beyond my comprehension. Think we’ll win this though.

Feeling good about Bruno getting that POTY award. UTFR

The Zu-Zu-Zutons! A band of AI robots minimicking a late indie guitar band. Why don’t you come on over…

Yeah that was poor. Those slow floaty crosses - how many did United make of those? Their keeper ate them up all day and still they persisted with them to the 96th minute. Played at a preseason pace throughout too. Frustrating that.

It'll be pretty embarrassing if the dinosaurs went out with more dignity than us. They can't say they knew about the meteor for decades, knew exactly what to do about it, had all the technology and resources to stop it but didn't so five of them could own everything

Not much to learn from a friendly, even a ‘big one’ like that. Some players probably reduced their chances of 1st team action this season tonight though. Santos looks like a really useful player in there.

Fletcher will get dogs for miscontrol and losing the ball but Heaven has to be stronger in the air there, prior to that.

This is excellent. Hope.

The one thing I can't posdibly do is mention that small boat crossings are down by 44% this year, because scare mongering about this is the central pillar of my whole grift.

Honestly has this ref just forgotten about persistent fouling -> yellow? Should be at least 2 Arg booked already.

Gary Lineker on Gaza, "It's the worst thing I have seen in my lifetime. Constant images day in, day out of children losing their lives." "But the minute you raise your voice against it you get accused of being a supporter of Hamas."

Am racking my brain to think of ways we can all keep the pressure and heat on this story. Meta & Mark Zuckerberg - one of the richest men in the world - are putting unfathomable legal and financial pressure on whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams. Pretty sure most people are on her side - not their's

@oliverbullough.bsky.social Hey Oliver. Have just finished your Butler book, the second of yours I’ve read. It’s utterly *amazing*. The sources ‘chapter’ is beautiful in itself! I’m a newish to your work but I love your books; and how you tell the stories. Can’t wait to see what you do next man.

Thanks again to Facebook memories for reminding me of the day the designer at Ford, who loved Roland Rat, got his own way

Niche admittedly but any Reds read Maurice Watkins book? Worth a go or a definitely not? I’m happy out with all / any United history stuff generally.

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

Palace have more than their share of dickhead elements. That family club thing is bollox really, as many will know. But also that is some achievement. Loads of tough ties in that run. Pleased for them tonight.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

2yrs for Carrick is spot on. For where United are at the moment it’s the right choice, made in a fuss-free way. After this and the handling of Case leaving, my club is in real danger of doing things well again. Heady days indeed. #UTFR.

So if Carrick gets appointed, he’ll be the first English United manager for 40 years, won’t he? Since big Ron was fired in 1986. Or am I missing someone?

I actually think that’s a good selection by Carrick. Mbuemo has been poor for ages and doesn’t deserve a start at the moment. Martinez needs a game again. Amad is a brave one though, assume Carrick feels Dorgu isn’t fit enough yet. UTFR! Listening on 5live today, actually looking forward to that.
