Come on now guys, there's no reason to get butthurt. Im sure we spurs fans arent as highly educated as the people who picked the team that was winning alot 10 years ago. There's no method to your acquisitions, you just keep throwing money desperately clinging to relevancy. United sold its soul that made it special for the likes of jose mourinho and a pointless high profile signing. Have fun in europa league. If only united would spend another $250mil they will finish top 4

Hey guys. Yall suck. Again. If you just spend another 1/4 billion it will resolve itself though.
Shouldn't you beat bourmouth before you run your mouth spare fan?

Bailly out a month with a knee injury. Here comes a month's worth of Rojo.

The knee he injured trying to dead leg (I think) Hazard in the second half. Lovely.

Bailly (via ESPNFC) is saying he will be out 2 months.

On a different note, has anyone seen anything on Mkhitaryan? There are starting to be rumors and articles suggesting he's already on the transfer block. Poor ******* had a horrible 45 minutes a month ago and hasn't been seen since. I'm guessing he's keeping Schweinsteiger company in the "BL players we no longer want" back room.

Mourinho don't **** around with guys he doesn't like...see one Mata, Juan at Chelsea

Don't buy the player if you don't want to use the player. Jose inherited Mata at Chelsea. He didn't inherit Miki. Such an idiotic position to be in.

1-0 Mata at 54'

1-0 FT. It may have been a match in a meaningless cup but it was not a meaningless win. Not for this team right now.

Uh. Bein. It was on BEIN

Was wondering what channel it was on as I couldn't find it.

I got to watch the second half and the team played pretty well. Ibra looked better than he has in a few weeks. Pogba played on the wing which was kind of strange, he seemed a bit out of place there.

Schneiderlin came on for Mata and played in front of Herrera and Carrick. I thought he looked pretty good, hopefully he starts getting more playing time.

Also, Shaw played great in the second half and the Blind/Rojo pairing at CB actually worked well. City was without De Bruyne and Silva, but Aguero and Sterling came on in the second half so it wasn't a totally scrub lineup.
Dre_00

Aguero came on with like 20 minutes left. It was a lot closer to a reserve side than it was to a 1st team side. In contrast, United's side was a lot closer to a 1st team side than a reserve side.

Glad we won and all but getting a decent performance against that side at home shouldn't be cause for massive celebration...but at least it was better than Sunday's performance.
Dre_00

The only good thing about Bailly being out is that it should give Shaw a chance to work his way back into the first team. They dude was our best player last season before he broke his leg. Mourinho's treatment of him, Miki, and Schweiny is a lot less palatable when the team isn't performing terribly well.

West Ham at home in the QF

Watched some of the highlights. 2nd half looked pretty decent but not sure if it's because it actually was decent or it was because it was so much better than a craptastic 1st half.

After the game, Mourinho walked over to the Stretford End and kind of sign-languaged an apology for the 4-0. I'm a sucker for stuff like that. Like...I can't stay mad at you if you acknowledge your crap performance and apologize for it.

36 shots and 11 on frame. And nothing to show for it.

No penalties, no hand balls and bs calls against United. Clatt was intent on keeping burnley in the matchm

Lots of good opportunities that weren't quite great, and it seems like great opportunities were always saved. That set piece that went to Rooney and he couldn't get it on frame... that was disappointing.

Had Herrera not been sent off I think he would've come off when Rooney and Fellaini came on. That card on Herrera was bullsh#t.

Pulling Mata off, even when down to 10, was baffling. He was involved in every good United attack. Brutal game to not take 3 points from. Redo of the Stoke game before the international break. Hopefully, our luck starts to change.

Valencia out for 6 weeks with a broken hand.

Looks like Schweini is back in the fold! One of my favorite players...Can't believe jose has exiled him. Unfortunately he probably won't see the pitch though
Dre_00
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Darmian didn't look bad against Burnley but I would hope he wouldn't given the talent they have and they way they set up. Fosu Mensah should be the starter now especially since the rumor is Darmian is on his way out in January but he'll probably share time with Darmian at best.

As for Schweini, it's a shame to see him treated like this. I believe he was a United fan as a kid. The guy legitimately liked the club before he became a player. Can't be easy for him to be exiled like this. To his credit, he's nothing but positive and encouraging to the team on Twitter.

With Bailly, Smalling, and Valencia all out, there's actually been a Phil Jones sighting in Turkey. He might even make the bench.

Basti is tweeting 30 minutes before the match so I'm assuming he's not in the game day squad...which is absolutely no surprise even if he did make the trip.

Schweini wasn't registered for the Europa League so he will not be playing in the EL. The only one he was registered for was the EPL squad.

And the Turks take the lead early on one of the best goals you'll see. Lordy.

Gonna go ahead and save everyone time.

Fenerbahce scored a wonder goal in the 2nd minute. After that, United had 85% of the possession for the next 88 minutes but couldn't muster a shot on goal. Rooney was horrible and in the end, United lost on the road 1-0.

There. Just saved you 2 hours of frustration and aggravation. Now you can go on about your day.

Not only did Jones make the squad but so did Mkhi. The rust trails those two would leave on the pitch would be visible from space.

It's a thing of beauty.
