The Football Thread 2019/20: Barcelona will have 2-8 till next season to avenge this embarrassment

[Corazon de Leon]

It's called Almondvale really - they're currently sponsored by a (terrible) chain restaurant. It's no worse than Hamilton Academical - their ground New Douglas Park is currently called the Fountain of Youth Stadium thanks to a cannabis oil company sponsorship.

strawberry float the pair of them though on today's performance, I hope they get relegated.

It’s dire to watch United playing.

Disgrace.

Disgrace.

Newcastle or Manchester?

Manchester.

It’s nothing like I used to see them playing.

[Captain Kinopio]

Please don't fire Ole

[Cuttooth]

What a wonderful day for football.

[Pancake]

Dream season so far for Liverpool fans. Somehow winning every game, City looking shaky and slipping up regularly, Everton and United utter shitehouse. I'm sure they'll find a way not to win the league though!

[Captain Kinopio]

Very interested to hear what Ole says after that.

[Preezy]

I am so sick of this gooseberry fool, fire them into the sun.

This.

I’m sick of this as well. So annoying.

[Saint of Killers]

Sigh.

[Harry Ola]

As ridiculous as it is to start saying Ole needs to go, this is the problem with hiring a manager with no pedigree. There is no evidence that he can turn this around. It is a terrible decision made on sentiment alone.

[Ploiper]

I honestly don't know what man utd were expecting when signing ole up as manager. I could see this happening as clear as day.

[Captain Kinopio]

Ole looks like a broken man with no answers.

[Jamo3103]

That was predictable. 2 points off the relegation zone now. I was expecting this season to be bad but not this bad! Absolutely horrible performance too, Fred in particular is just an utterly useless footballer, makes Djemba Djemba look like a world beater.

To be honest I'm all for relegation now. It's our best shot at getting the Glazer's out and the few remaining glory hunters while we're at it. We'll get a Derby against Leeds next season and it will also take some attention away from Liverpool winning the league. Not only that but it will give us our best shot at silverware when we win promotion from League One in the 22/23 season. Bring it on!

[SandyCoin]

I honestly can't believe how bad we are. Just so many dreadful players, it astounds me that they were ever purchased.

Ole obviously needs to go, but the blame is not squarely with him. Professional footballers in the Premier league should not need some magical manager to instill the belief in them to pass to their team mates, or make a run into a good area.

The club is just shitness from top to bottom at present, and has been for a while unfortunately.

Liverpool will most likely win the league this year, and we will be hovering around the bottom half of the table.

[Captain Kinopio]

I think if they slip into the relegation zone Ole will resign.

What if they get promoted though.

Defeat against Liverpool and Ole is gone, surely?

The brilliance of Ferguson must have been papering over some pretty hefty cracks, there's no way that a string of sub-par managers are responsible for the current state of United.

For a few years I revelled in it, I was so bored of the relentless success of Ferguson, but I think it's a shame for the PL if United aren't fighting at the top. The recent United vs Arsenal game was depressing, what a great rivalry that used to be.
