Who he supports isn’t the issue mate, it’s the “woe is me as a fan of an underperforming team” angle on a story about a dead baby that I found a bit odd.

OK mate - I didn't read it that way and I did reply - try being an Evertonian. Mrs BR and I have had some very sad times with miscarriages. including one on Christmas Day of all days!! Thank God we have a wonderful bright intelligent Blue daughter who is a credit.

Ronaldo can be a pain and has annoyed me for years - however this is just a human tragedy and football goes out the window when something like this happens. My very best wishes to him and his wife.
 

Do you remember the days when United had actual footballers playing football for them?
I thought they were average when they came to ours, but at least they cared, they gave up before they started tonight.
There is no way any United team play that badly at the pit, no passion or effort. Why? They can't surely be this bad?
79% possession for the RS, that's a non-league team opposition stat.
Do they really not care that much or is there something else at work?

This is what happens when you bring in a bunch of hired guns looking for the largest available paycheck and give it to them. They've just bought a higher class of mercenaries than we have been able to afford.

Pretty much.

They’ve signed players based n reputation instead of needs.

Square Pegs, Round Holes. Yoo don’t need to be a huge name to be a good player.

United have now only won 2 of the last 15 matches against Liverpool in all comps.You would never see that in the 80s, 90s, 2000s,or even the 1970s when they were relegated they still competed against top LFC side, beating them in an fa cup final and semi final. They are a joke now.

Absolutely right mate. It beggars belief how much they have spent since Ferguson retired and in that time, they haven't actually bought a single player who was good at his job or the position he was bought to play in.
They did the star signing thing with the likes of Di Maria and Pogba etc with no idea how to use them or any kind of check as to how they would fit in, either in a footballing sense or personality wise/psychologically.
Just thought that if you pay a certain amount then obviously you're getting what you want or need.
Their best player is still De Gea and he's been there for 10 years plus.
Thay bought Varane on name only without checking why Real were happy to get rid, like us with Gomes, just pay the money for a name and look more at the club they were bought from rather than why he was up for sale.
Even in isolation, United haven't got that many good players and that's before you consider how well they function together or how they compliment a system, if they even have one.
Lindelof is probably their best defender and Fred is likely their best Midfielder. No wonder they've fallen so heavily despite outspending even City over the last few years.
If you'd actually tried to sabotage United you couldn't have done a better job than paid employees have done.
