This ******* game. Anybody wants to compare our stats against these with every other team in the PL era (not that we were much better in the past), here you go https://www.11v11.com/teams/manchester-united/tab/stats/ Tbh I'm surprised we've drawn almost a quarter of the games, doesn't feel like that.I'm sure most of those were down to us not being able to hold out and conceding late, so they'd feel like defeats anyway. We've rescued a point twice. Four goalless draws, six capitulations. We had a run of three 0-0s in a row in mid 90s under SBL. Fergie proper hated our approach in our days as he knew we had a cracking team back to front (indeed he tipped us to challenge for the league for the season after we won league cup) so much better than some of his patronising comments after wins in the last decade he was there.I always think that awful Sunday night game in the FA cup when they scored three times in last 15 minutes completely broke our spirit as a club v them as our record in the 90s wasn't that bad compared to most of the league (we had a worse record v Leicester in those times) and since then we just have no belief even if we're 2 up at home as we showed under Houllier and Lambert in future seasons.One day it will change. I do think there's more belief in the team playing them nowadays but we just lack that bit of luck at crucial moments and heads then drop.For example get back to 1-1 at Old Trafford and feels we're the team going to be on top for next 15 minutes and two minutes later Pogba completely manufactures a penalty so we're behind and chasing the game once more.

My most painful game ever and always. Much much more than Blues or Albion. It’s the humiliations over the years and brummie ****** sitting all smug amongst us that boils my piss to steam. I hate them I hate them.

I’m still bitter about 1993, and 2010. That 3-2 in the cup was a back breaker. The same score at OT when that Italian came off the bench and scored a wonder goal before barely scoring again for them. The 2-2 at VP when we were two and playing superb. I’d love it if we smashed them to bits this afternoon, love it.
Without me looking through the thread, has there been any news on the "match preparedness" of john e and Meanwood Villa yet?
