I’ve been out tonight with my friends, a yearly tradition. Most are Man Utd fans. They didn’t even watch the game and stopped watching at half time. They didn’t even rub it in. Tides turning as they say down here in Devon.

Their xG was 0.73 in the second half, which was similar to ours. Which makes it more galling still.

I know it was a deeply disappointing result but I had to laugh when certain tw*ts on social media took the outcome (and the 1-1 Blades match) as proof positive that Emery is a 'bottler'.

My take on the second half was the complete opposite. Though I didn't agree with SUE's tactics, there were those of a manager who was utterly fearless and thought that we could be bold and outscore the home side. In the end, we were very close to doing just that.
