    Local lad

    (Foden) scores in their deby, runs over the corner to celebrate with his fans...

    ...to be met by a wall of fans with their phones out.

    Folk wearing half and half scarves, too...in a local derby, ffs.

    God forbid we ever become like that.

    Agreed.

    Roy Keane believe it or not had it right - can't find the quote but it was the best sum up I've seen.

    Roy Keane: “Not one yellow card. The Manchester derby, it's raining and set up for a few tackles. You shouldn't be able to get out of bed for a week, not one yellow card! Try tackling. Try hitting somebody. Football is a physical game.”

    The fella has a point there like!

    Utd chasing the game and not a single professional foul? No shirt tugging to stop and attack building.

    Either they were off the pace, or had already rolled over before the game

    Doesn?t seem like there?s any passion from a vast amount of their fans - they can barely fill a stadium ffs.

    The Filth team looked like it was a training ground exercise.

    They are lambs for the slaughter. Their Captain is a complete coward. A little whiney muppet. He doesn't put his foot in. If rumours are to be believed he doesn't want to be there anymore.

    It's a fiasco. Delightful to see.

    One post or another I said it is no longer a football club. It is a football theme park where tourists exit through the club shop to buy their Merch.

    It's over for them, their unrealistic dominance of the Cheating Jock's era is over, will never be replicated. They will be that team in 40 yrs time that will still be living on the glories of the 1990 early 2000s.

    It Bruno doesn't want to be there, why didn't he take the huge money move to Saudi?

    I thought he turned it down?

    Who was he expecting to come in for him.

    Local people priced out by day trippers. It's happening to is already. If a relative or friend of yours stops using his/her season ticket you can't inherit it like families used to do. Now that seat will be swallowed in the " membership ?50 lottery" for tickets.
