My thought is what has happened to the great attacking play we saw last season, we never look like scoring.

They carried an attacking threat all evening but we had almost nothing going forward.

Agree, way off his best form so far this season.

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Yes the decline in performance from last season is very hard to understand, I cant believe its because they dont like Carrick or he has lost the dressing room it seems that they are playing without belief or conviction.

It could be a very embarrassing month for us, defence cant keep clean sheets, midfield cant control and dominate games and attack is misfiring and not creating good goal scoring chances. This will all lead to Carrick being sacked if he cant improve things very soon.

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

That is the change I would make at ht, surely cant make things worse.

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

It really is, can only hope Carrick can find a way to invigorate his team.

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I dont what Carrick is going to do or say at half time but he needs to do something, we look a shadow of the team that we were last season.

Hard to believe how bad we are, last season we played some good football with speed skill and confidence but all of that is missing now.

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Our midfield has gone AWOL Spurs are playing through us at will, cant believe what I am watching

The 21st century is continually trying to outdo itself in how terrible it can make everything. From 9/11 to Middle East wars to a financial crash to an unhinged dictator in the White House to a pandemic to war in Europe to extreme right wing parties winning popularity and now the plague.

Because my current internet provider has stopped covering the area where I live I now have no choice but to get internet from the Elon Musk company Starlink, I hate the idea of giving money to that man but its either that or no internet 😞

Dixon has taken over from Mark Lawrenson as the most cynical and world weary pundit.

East Of Eden is one of the few John Steinbeck novels that I have never read but the new adaptation on Netflix is excellent , definitely recommend.

But very much the fashion at that time

It was such a great change of pace for Burdon to go from the Animals to War.

I think Warren Buffett is the only billionaire who has said that when he dies all his money goes to charity , shame others dont say the same

I suspect that we could still be 12 months away from the conclusion to all of this and that any punishment handed out may be suspended subject to the end of the appeal. If they had a 50 point deduction this season and then won the appeal, unlikely but possible, then this season will be a total mess

010

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

That is something I dont quite understand, if the ruling is for how they acted up to 2018 are the Prem saying they have done nothing wrong since then and therefore everything they won since 2018 is legitimate ?

011

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Also did the players know that they were sham contracts, if they did then surely they could be in trouble.

000

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I think City will be desperately trying to convince the players that nothing will happen before the end of this season so they should go all out to win trophies And they are probably right because I think the Prem will allow City to appeal before any punishment is decided, maybe in another 2 years

England defended very poorly and were lucky Spain didnt score 6.

I think my parents had a bottle of Martini in their drinks cabinet too, dont think people still have drinks cabinets these days.

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Yes its a decent game, England lucky not to be 3 down before they scored but they kept going at Spain and it paid off.

100

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I would rather they had all the trophies they won during the period they cheated taken away from them. That would hurt more than a points deduction.

Yes it was good to see her strength develop over the years.

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Yes the focus on different people was very uneven at times.

Yes it did start with a very clear class perspective and never really explored how accident of birth is so prevalent in determining the outcome of someones life.

It did strike me that the modern idea that people of the so called boomer generation have had it easy is shown to be untrue by the various struggles and difficulties experienced by the participants in the series.

I live in the countryside and my internet provider has said they will no longer cover my area, the only alternative seems to be the Elon Musk company Starlink which I am not happy about , I really dont want to give money to a white supremacist but may have no choice.

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

My point was its not down to our keeper that we concede goals its about how the whole team defend, its no coincidence that Arsenal concede the least goals and have the least number of shots on their goal in games. They have an excellent keeper but in a lot of games he has very little to do.

010

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Least of our problems, the fact that the attackers arent linking up well and the team lacks urgency and energy is where the problems lie . Apart from the own goal we defended ok yesterday and Lammens made some good saves.

120

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I agree, they are all good players but not combining well or able to find their best form.

010

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

None of the front 3 looked good today , maybe Baleba can give us more control in midfield but we looked lethargic all over the pitch today

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Too right, can only hope that when the Prem restarts Carrick can find a way to kickstart the team

100

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Dont think that will be given

000

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I dont think they will give up on Carrick yet but he will be on very thin ice if results dont improve after the international break

100

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Tbf they have all been poor, no dynamic football going forward at all

010

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Not sure which subs would make any difference but I guess he has to try something

000

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

It is so painful to watch , do not look like they have a chance of scoring its awful.

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Yea I dont think it really works but we have no obvious back up for Sesko

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Agree, it looks a very bleak film now.

Such a shame that Eric is still not at United rather than Ratcliffe

032

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I have been a United supporter all my life going back to the days of Best, Law and Charlton but if Ratcliffe continues with his Reform style comments I will withdraw my support until he leaves.

Pete D @rebelrefrain.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I understand their feelings, if Ratcliffe carries on with his Reform party type comments I will withdraw my support from the club until he leaves.
