Definitely in a relegation battle.
Game against West Ham on Monday another draw or defeat and we'll be in serious trouble.
At the start of the season who'd have thought our game at Goodison park would be shaping up for a 6 pointer.
All the teams around us have more fight than we do. We look like Leeds in 2004. A load of direction less,overpaid players who aren't fit to wear the shirt and a board that are starting to make Hicks and Gillette look like Abramowich of 2004.

On the plus side, if we get relegated my season ticket will cone down in price, lots more 3pm kick offs and less kin tourists at game.
One door closes, :dance: :blush:

Its the first time I've seen a ref not blow his whistle when the linesman has flagged on an attack so far this season.

I'm not particularly a fan of how VAR has been introduced, but it's 100% the right decision.

Carroll was onside, he flicked it on, Shelvey ran on to it and scored. No whistle, when the Sheffield United players stop, they've literally broken one of the 1st rules you learn about Football as a kid.

It seems in many cases, fans don't want the rules to be enforced as per the letter of the law, but want them interpreted in the spirit of the game, factoring in whether or not something is 'fair' or 'just'.

It's a bit different when it renders the lino redundant.

If the lino flags, players stop, it just happens.

Man City v Man Utd: Will Kevin de Bruyne or Scott McTominay decide derby - Alan Shearer analysis

Manchester United's Scott McTominay cannot match Kevin de Bruyne's attacking statistics or spectacular goals but he has an important role in Saturday's derby, says Alan Shearer.

That is just bizarre.

Not when you consider the BBC have been acting as uniteds unofficial PR dept since the GPC was in charge. When Panorama exposed all his dodgy dealings, he started sulking and refused to talk to them ever again. The BBC collectively soiled themselves and have been sucking up to the rags ever since. Very rare you will ever see any utd story on the BBC with a negative slant. When we stuffed them 6-1 at Old Trafford they reported "Utd in 7 goal thriller"
