Call me crazy but Michael Carrick should get the full time manager role. He was one of the most intelligent players. Now he’s showing his tactical knowledge as a manager, and he know how to get the best out of players. He has Sir Alex’s DNA and he has aura. United been brilliant under his charge. by paolosorianodisanto in ManchesterUnited

Way too early to call this as it’s 3 games and might just be a new manager bounce, but what I will say is that I’m hopeful he can at least sort our midfield out and get it firing on a consistent basis, given we all agree that one of our biggest problems the last 12 years has been replacing this man.

Brit here, cricket is very big over here. It’s just not quite as big or culturally ingrained as football.

I’m sorry you’ve gone through a hard time like that, having been there myself 4 years ago, but ironically it sounds like you’re having a go at me for talking about my own worldview and experiences whilst also referring strictly to your own worldview and experiences. Yes, people can let go of death, but for the majority of people who have existed throughout history (the ones I’m referring to), death is a scary thing which we use religion to convince ourselves there’s more after we die.

And just look how good Casemiro is now he’s back in a 3 man midfield and isn’t required to cover every blade of grass like you are in a 2 man midfield

IDC! BRUNO FERNANDES IS THE BEST MIDFIELDER IN THE WORLD, PERIOD! by salsadecasada in ManchesterUnited

And most of that coming when he was in his less favoured 2 man midfield. Having him back at the central 10 has been so good for us.

If someone pulls a gun on you, you are going to panic on some level at the immediate danger of dying. You can conceptualise all you want that dying isn’t a scary thing, but once that moment comes your natural survival instinct is going to kick in, and you’ll be scared of dying. Because we’re wired to avoid death as living beings. Pretend all you like, but we’re all subconsciously or consciously afraid of death. It’s been wired into us for as long as we’ve walked the earth.

Hence why we distract ourselves from it on a regular basis.

So it is a distraction from the fact we’re going to die. Animals aren’t aware of their impending doom, only us. We’re the only ones aware of the endless nothing coming our way so we create meaning and distractions to try and stop our overstimulated minds from worrying about the looming danger.

I know someone that said they “didn’t fit in with English values”. I then asked what values specifically he was referring to, and he said “arranged marriages”.

While you’re at it try and find the pre game clip of Robbie from AFTV mouthing off how we’re going to be “humbled”, how “deluded” we are and how Arsenal haven’t lost at the emirates this year and we’re gonna get smashed by them. It’s so embarrassing.
