Erik Ten Execuses: "All the teams have spent a lot of money. Brighton have spent money. When Manchester United come, it inflates the price.
That is also true."

Man ten hag is so incredibly unlikeable and whiney. At least Mourinho won significant trophies to justify his complaining stick (and at least when he did his trolling he often times was semantically correct in a piss take way). Between that and the off field stuff united are a pure dumpster and lucky to be on more than 2 pts realistically.

Like you said, Ten Hag just whines. Zero aura or presence of authority. Seldom even a remotely interesting quote.

For some reason I decided to listen to O Hara and Agbonlahor on Talksport tonight after the game. The callers on there make JoeDiego seem like peak Alan Hansen.

The divide amongst Utd fans is incredible, from full ETH out now to "he's doing a great job he's at the start of a 4+ year journey to make us relevant again".

LOL like in any game both sides fans / managers will moan about the refs.

Had they held on to the 1-0 win he probably wouldn't have said anything but Ange would have.

Is DEX a Ten Hag burner account?

Tbf, we were too cautious against this United team and got lucky that it was Maguire-Evans running back the years in the last 10mins.

We are yet to put in a really convincing, no sweat performance this season and I hope things gel a bit more now after the international break.

All three Brighton goals were class today. Lallana dummy and Gross completely selling Martinez before the Pedro screamer.

You don't see enough dummies these days.

There’s a ton of second year syndrome going on right now and it all sucks. The team did well last year based on a stingy defense and limiting opposing teams from shooting. There were obv problems up top, but defense was what it was built on. Now, it’s a cluster****.

This cycle is now being played out yet again under the Glazers and who knows when or if they’ll sell. For United supporters, we badly want the Glazers gone. For everyone else, it’s clearly the opposite.

See that Spurs fans were being classy as ever post game, racially abusing our keeper. Can only guess the Great Escape DVD sold out too quickly

Cracking performance from Leeds.

I might have been wrong about thinking Chelsea would turn out to be good pretty quickly this season.
