Time to move on.

A great opportunity to put ourselves right back in it and show we can bounce back ala Partridge 🎾

Win by two goals.

Thanks for that but do ask the right question in the poll! Draw is NOT going to win ;D

Do you think we've been inconsistent?  The table would suggest otherwise!

Sorry, very careless of me. I am feeling a bit unwell at the moment as it happens but that's no excuse  ;D

Anyone who's going, beware of the food. I now feel bad for slagging off the Villa Chippy.

Manchester United have been told "major improvements" are needed to ensure food sold at Old Trafford is safe to eat.

The Premier League side have been given a one star out of five food hygiene rating after a Food Standards Agency inspection last month.

The Red Devils admitted "a small amount of undercooked meat was inadvertently served during a non matchday event".

"This was an isolated issue and the immediate failures were quickly addressed," the club said.

United said they are also conducting an independent food audit to identify any further areas of improvement.

"MUFC has taken this incident very seriously and wants to reassure our valued fans and customers that we maintain the highest culinary standards," the club added.

"The club is proud of the high standards and the five-star food hygiene record which had been awarded to us for the past eight years.

"Everyone at the club is determined to regain our five-star food hygiene status as quickly as possible."

This lot will have to come at us and this will do us just nicely. Keep it tight at the back and we’ll do ok.

We'll need to do what we did against Man City. They probably won't want to come at us like their neighbours did, but they still will have a go. We'll need our midblock working at peak function again, we'll need to dominate the one-on-one duels, we'll need to outnumber their options in midfield and time our runs better - and, for god's sake, get our throughballs right!

'Everyone at the club', yeah Jaydon and Anthony are gutted and it's affecting their form.

Antony hasn’t scored this season and Rashford has two to his name. Two each then, 4-1.
