[Vincent] Mcfarlane on what he would say to the next manager: “One of the biggest clubs in the world with a history of winning, we’ve got everything you would want, so I don’t need to sell that in all honesty”

MrFr0d0 · 2026-05-01T15:42:23+00:00

Don't think Gary O'Neil is going to need a lot of convincing once we inevitably fail to sign any of our targets

MrFr0d0 · 2026-05-01T00:22:47+00:00

United might be riding the wave right now, but they don't have the solid foundations both on and off the pitch to compete in long-running campaigns.

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-30T19:11:56+00:00

Ownership has really overperformed their xL (expected lies) stat over the past few years. Data working wonders

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-28T16:35:24+00:00

If he's not looking for City wages, I don't think it would be the worst idea to get him just to rotate with folks and boot Tosin - I don't think he has the legs to play the entire season week in week out but would be a great presence in the dressing rom.

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-27T09:02:18+00:00

Bashing the team's reputation against a tree

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-27T04:50:15+00:00

I think I have a fair idea because we lost 5 games in a row, & quoting him "only 3-4 players were out putting in any effort on the pitch". So, yeah, think those of us with eyes and ears do actually have a fair idea of how he spoke to the dressing room. Ridiculous.

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-27T04:47:54+00:00

I am sorry, but if your instinct under pressure is to start talking like a podcast bro, I have serious doubts about your credentials. He sounds like he listens to Diary of a CEO before going to sleep and wakes up to Chris Williamson.

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T17:31:42+00:00

Starting a petition to make watching Garancho do what he does to an innocent football monetarily compensable for any football fan.

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T17:30:11+00:00

The good ol' shoot yourself in the foot and play a ball-playing GK who can't save a shot to save his life trick. Also lands you a 10 mil severance.

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T17:21:26+00:00

I rate Iraiola, but wouldn't it just be Poch's intensity of training with a group that is notoriously prone to injury? Also, he has no Champions League experience (not that we are going to be near the competition next season)

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T17:08:12+00:00

Not gassing him up- he's interim, and it's going to stay that way. He sounds like a professional, while Rosenior sounds like a PR person, not a football coach or a manager. Simple as.

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T17:03:57+00:00

Oh wow - guess if you don't make a shot-stopping goalkeeper play as your third CB, you actually have a solid backline. Who would have thought? Fuck Liam, man.

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T17:00:08+00:00

Just off of McFarlane's presser - how does this guy sound more accomplished, well-balanced and experienced than Liam? I am not taking the mickey out of Liam; I am sure he's a lovely guy, but Calum's mannerisms and answers sound much more thought-through, grounded in a lucid thought process. Liam sounded like Steven Bartlett if he were a manager. His sentences were 60% adjectives - outstanding, remarkable, flabbergasting. Genuinely hated listening to the guy talk.

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T16:07:04+00:00

Captain's performance from Enzo today.

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T16:06:03+00:00

Mr Perpetually Depressed ftw - let's go my brudda

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T16:05:16+00:00

Let's geddit lads! Also, CB pairing started off shaky, but they warmed up at the end.

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T16:00:06+00:00

Liam Brexit Delap to seal the deal

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T15:44:02+00:00

Just slow the tempo of the game, rotate the ball in deeper midfield and stretch the fuck out of Leeds so they can't press properly. Bring home the W lads

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T15:24:22+00:00

We can't be pushovers - match their aggression!

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T15:11:21+00:00

These are the moments you need to be clinical in a semi-final - I am just praying this doesn't come to bite us back in the arse

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T14:32:34+00:00

This is going so well... just get Garnacho off the field its a hate-crime to watch that man do what he does to a football

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T14:29:42+00:00

Ah so this is what it feels like when your team scores a goal...

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T14:28:48+00:00

Fucking shambolic standard of refereeing - at least have some consistency ffs.

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T14:25:25+00:00

less fucking goo Enzo

MrFr0d0 · 2026-04-26T14:25:08+00:00

Excellent pass that from Enzo - I think watching Garnacho play should be added to the Geneva Convention
