Chelsea

Another great win for Wolves, they have been very entertaining to watch this year, fair play to them. United are absolutely woeful!

Harry Palmr

Man Utd

Certainly all signs point to a regression to the mean. Ole is not the Messiah and the squad is what it is. Full of complacent old lags and raw unpolished/uncoached potential.

Arsenal

As a Chelsea fan Im delighted with Wolves

Chelsea

Some rebuilding job required at Man Utd. Probably need to buy 3 defenders, 2 midfielders and a striker, at least.

sligeach

And so it begins. Thoroughly deserved win for Wolves, could and should have been more. Not bad for a team whose priority is the FA Cup.

Turtyturd

Is there a cooling off period on the contract?

Man Utd

New manager bounce is well and truly gone for Solksjaer. Looking like they may end up in the Europa League next season, especially if they roll over for Man City like some fans seem to want.

I doubt they will want to be beholden to Mendes for too long. Get the loans signed up and then move on.

Wolves new Chinese owners have a stake in one of Mendes company.

Wolves and Mendes are intertwined for the foreseeable future.

I can't stand Mendes either he's one of the most unlikeable people in all of football.

Deeper Blue

It'd be mad if the combined points total of Fulham and Huddersfield was less than required to stay up

Imagine waiting till they go to **** again and then giving him the job after not doing so when he was winning every week. Another hilarious decision by big Ed.

Might need another manager if Ole doesn't keep the the wheels rolling forward from the start of next season. How patient will the board be if results are poor?

Ole bounce is gone last 4 Prem games they have lost two and didnt deserve to beat Watford or the Saints
Ole will be gone by next summer

Jaysus lads. They lost a game. Big deal. People talking like he's some sort of spoofer that's been found out.

"Lol, he hasn't won every single game. The board at United are obviously clueless lmao"

Whatever about Ole, Mourinho was right about Pogba calling him a virus. Absolute poison.

There last four Prem games they lost 2 and should not have beat Saints or Watford , They also so so lucky v PSG
There playing poorly for a while now

Mr.H

Haha

No all mocking united aside. Wolves have been brilliant this year. Nuno Santo deserves a lot of praise. By far manager of the year.

As for united, pogba looked back to his lazy self tonight. If they can get interest from psg and madrid they should get as much as they can and invest in that defence. Young still playing full back says it all.

citytillidie

Just in seeing Youngs two fouls how can Darren Fletcher say it is hard luck on Young to be sent off lol

I wonder, are Fulham the earliest to go down second from the Prem?

Making himself look very foolish there. How the hell can he disagree about Young's red card?

Can see Chelsea being interested in Nuno.

He went from saying they were 2 nothing tackles, to they were probably 2 yellows by the letter of the law, back to they were nothing and harsh to be sent off. He’s off his head.

His record with United since coming in has been very good. Virtually nobody gave them a shout of competing for top 4 when he came in.

You can talk about being lucky all you like, it's a results game. If he gets them top 4, he'll have done an outstanding job.

shamrock55

Chelsea

That really is a massive loss for utd, they've tough games against West ham, Everton, City and Chelsea nxt, can't see them getting top 4 now

He's now lost four of his last seven games...

OGS got them in a great position tbf, Wolves are no mugs either, United still in a decent position. Probably should have waited to give him the full time contract though, whats the harm in looking at it at the end of the season? Would United fans be happy with the appointment if they fail to make top 4 after all the good work to get them in a strong position?

Harry Palmr

Man Utd

And Utd scraped by PSG and Watford.

If they beat Arsenal 2 weeks ago they could have went 4 points clear of 5th , itll be a struggle now , form is starting to dip at the wrong time

Huddersfield went down before them, last Saturday.

Apparently, Huddersfield were joint quickest after 32 games with Derby. Fulham join that duo now.

And?

I love how he's judged (by some, with a conspicuous commonality) only on his recent dodgy patch and not on his total record since coming in, which has been very good all things considered.

Should his record before taking over Utd be taken into account as well, he has no experience at this level and is now over one of the biggest clubs in the world. I know most utd fans wont admit it here but appointing him before the end of the season was ridiculous. He will be gone ten games into the new season.

Darren Fletcher would make Paddy Crerand look impartial.

I said it at the time but it just never made sense for the United board to put pressure on themselfs by annoucing Ole when they did ,
Why not wait see what happened , Ole was willing to wait , no need at all for a rushed appointment

Why would his record before United have any bearing on judging the job he's done at United? That's beyond daft.

How he'll do in the future is anyone's guess, despite your apparent psychic powers.

It's not judging the job he has done, I'm judging on his creditionals to get the job full time. Do you admit at least it's a massive risk on utds behalf.

Firstly i clearly said the words all mocking united aside.

Secondly i was praising wolves. Not mocking united.

Thirdly im sure you enjoyed the result? You like watching them lose iirc?

And it's a bad patch of performances and results for the first time since he took over. Just when he got confirmed as manager too.

He's done a great job overall since he took over. No one would argue otherwise. But it's a tough run of games ahead and - as unfair as it may be - lose three of the next four and the season may be over on all fronts.

United one of the biggest clubs in the wold but in decline for 7 years have appointed the Molde manger what could possibly go wrong ?

Can you not see how that may be a problem

I was joking. I was staying well clear of mocking united because these conversations bore everyone.
