“Rangers now going for title 55”

**** off you silly hun twat

Why is this idiot allowed on the tv?

Commons just as bad talking about how the ref acted. The Christie challenge would have not only looked but would have sounded horrific as he caught him square on the shinpad. I don't even think the livi one should have been a red as his tackling foot is on the ground. Sounded like a paranoid celtic supporter

[Brightside]

If you're going to take Holt, you'd have to take Martindale. He's been there throughout the success. Would we accept an ex gangster?

I would, by the way.

He also picks the team.

Probably because the whole Newco/new club chat, while being factually correct, is more an internet thing or something to wind your mates up about. Don’t think anyone in the real world really pays it much attention anymore, IMO.

It was an out of control two footed lunge on Hayes. What were you and Collum watching?

[heretoday]

Quite willing to accept that Liverpool are a cracking side under Klopp, they play some brilliant football but just genuinely didn't think that was a penalty yesterday.

If I was a ref these days, I'd never give a penalty unless it was absolutely stick-on. You can see the forwards are play-acting nine times out of ten on the replay.

They're all at it!

8 points clear but didn’t they have a similar lead around Christmas time last season?

[chrisski33]

8 points clear but didn’t they have a similar lead around Christmas time last season?

Think they were 11points clear at one point. Long way to go

[Scouse Hibee]

8 points clear but didn’t they have a similar lead around Christmas time last season?

Yeah think it was eight, they had a game in hand, won that to take it five points then beat us to take it to three. It’s nowhere near over, Liverpool will drop points I just hope City continue to do so also. Liverpool now have the experience of winning the CL again that could make a huge difference.

[Scouse Hibee]

2-0 Wolves 😂

[MWHIBBIES]

Nice victory for human rights. Hope Liverpool can stay the course and win it.

[we are hibs]

Man u have been dire. Awful first 15 mins. Bet few away tickets too as crowds are dropping like a stone at Old Trafford.

Maybe all the old glory hunters are helping fill the new stand at Liverpool 😁

[The 90+2]

Still baffles me why Celtic didn't go for a decent manager

Me too. They chose Lennon once they stumbled to the cup win, he then ****ed them out the champions league - not only did that lose them £millions but it also gives Rangers a massive boost in the league that they aren’t playing Sunday catch up football.

The fixture list was out well before Celtic bottled it again Cluj too so they can’t even use that as an excuse. If they made the champions league it would have been early Saturday matches, pressure on the huns every Sunday, now they have to come into Sunday games puffed out from Europe mainly away.

Lennon was the cheap option and it will come back to haunt them the same way as it did Rangers when Walter Smith said he was leaving at the end of the season, they sold Gazza in Jan and Laudrup signed a pca with Chelsea. Both clubs will throw away the ten.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

How Ashley Young gets a game never mind captain is beyond me, he's woeful.Man Utd need a clear out plus a new coach. Love Ole but he's out of his depth here.

[HH81]

Newcastle smash the bar. Great effort. Very unlucky.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

McTominay lucky to only get a yellow there, terrible studs up tackle.

[cabbageandribs1875]

They almost had another but the 100 million pound centre half couldn't put it on target from 6 yards out stood on his own.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

When you consider the money paid and the wages they are earning this is a joke. Terrible game so far.

[Sir David Gray]

I genuinely think Manchester Utd will be lucky to finish in the top half of the league this season.

They just can't score goals.

[HibbyAndy]

They almost had another but the 100 million pound centre half couldn't put it on target from 6 yards out stood on his own.

the 60 million Fred has he even touched the ball ? Where is the 100 million pound Pogba ?

looks like £78m well spent, not



it is indeed a very poor game of football, very poor

[calumhibee1]

Our 6-1 doing at Ibrox is starting to look par for the course for teams going there this season.

I said earlier this season that we wouldn’t be the only team to get absolutely ****ged at Ibrox and had a good few posters repeatedly bring it up when they didn’t pump anyone in their next couple of home games.

5 home games in and they’ve won 3 of them by 5 goals. Like 90+2 said, doesn’t make our result any less embarrassing, but they’ll do that many more times over the course of this season.

I’m certain they’ll win something this season, whether it’s the league or not I’m not sure. But no way will Celtic win another treble imo.

[Scouse Hibee]

could this be the season man u get relegated :shocked:

[HibbyAndy]

This is the worst man utd team i can ever recall

They won't even make top 6 , Full of bang average players

[HibbyAndy]

60 million for Fred :hilarious:hilarious:hilarious

[Scouse Hibee]

This has to be the most enjoyable Manure side for me to watch for many a year. OGS well out of his depth.

[hibee-boys]

I don't watch much non hibs related football, can someone explain why Utd paid £70 million for 'Fred'....he's a Brazilian internationalist seemingly!lol

[Pretty Boy]

I blame Ian Brown.

2 managers get a song to the tune of Waterfall, both oversee dramatic collapses after promising starts.

Coincidence?

[The Spaceman]

A club the size of Manchester United should not have Marcus Rashford leading the line and Ashley Young captaining. How they have fallen!

[Victor]

60 million for Fred :hilarious:hilarious:hilarious

Woeful. What position is he meant to be playing? Doesn’t attack, continually passes sideways and can’t defend. Do you think they bought the wrong player?

It’s hilarious when you look at their squad. Take out De Gea and Pogba and you could pretty much be looking at the squad of West Ham, Burnley or some other pile of *****.

[Newry Hibs]

I do think man u have too much in them for them to be worried about relegation.

As a Man Utd fan, I think relegation is a possibility this season. It’s the worst Man Utd team that I can ever remember. I thought things would never get as bad than they were under Moyes, but this isn’t even on the same scale.

Wouldn’t write it off.

They’ve done that numerous times in the past and look where it has got them. It’s made them actually worse than better. Plus what world class player out there would want to come? I can’t think of one tbh that would be very appealed to join.

They have a £50M Brazilian in Fred that makes Josh Vela look good and an English Christian Doidge up front in Marcus Rashford.

They won't be relegated but I do think they'll finish in the bottom half.

They do have a few players out injured just now but most of them are defensive players and not likely to help them be more threatening up front.

They are utterly dreadful to watch.

[hfc rd]

Won’t make a difference who they bring in next. It’ll be the same s***, different manager. We’ve sacked managers before, nothing will change with a new man at the helm.

The guy that needs punted out instantly is Ed Woodward along with the Glazers. They are taking it down.

I honestly can’t write it off. They haven’t scored more than one goal since beating Chelsea on the opening weekend. They needed penalties to beat ******g Rochdale.

The stats don’t lie, it’s relegation form since March

Whilst they continue to pay wages of around £200-300,000 per week then they'll continue to attract players. Maybe not players of the calibre of Messi or Mbappe but players that will get them well away from relegation if that happened to be a remote possibility by January.

Didn’t West Ham get relegated with a team including Di Canio, Defoe, Joe Cole, Carrick, David James, Les Ferdinand, Bowyer, Kanoute, Lomas and Trevor Sinclair ? A squad packed with international players and some among the best in the league got relegated so it can definitely happen.

You take out Pogba and Martial and we don’t look good enough to even score let alone win games, I don’t think we can keep blaming injuries anymore. With Wan-Bisakka and Maguire both in the team we look far better defensively than we have in years but we’re woeful in midfield and worse up top.

Our upcoming league games are Liverpool who are flying next then that’s followed by two away games so we could very realistically lose all three games and end up second bottom (don’t see Watford overtaking us over that period) which then kills all (if any is left) confidence the club has and the rot will set in.

Young, Jones, Rojo, Bailly, Fred, Matic, Pereira, Lingard and Mata are all players that need to be gotten rid of and then all need to be replaced on top of the replacements we needed to bring in for Sanchez and Lukaku and then we need to put a proper structure in place

Part of me hopes we do get relegated just so the ****ing Glazer’s are run out of the club and closely followed by Woodward as they’ve overseen the destruction of the club and done it in record time, we were league champions only SEVEN ******g years ago.

[CloudSquall]

Moyes wasn't that bad after all :greengrin

Selling Lukaku was definitely a mistake. He was a bit of a donkey but scored goals and caused problems for the opposition.

Arsenal had no choice, they definitely didn't let him go. He also wasn't anywhere near this good and probably wouldn't have been.

Arsenal had Sanchez, Chamberlain and Walcott at the time, he didn't look like he was going to offer more than any of them so was loaned out. They tried to renew his contract for years but Bayern apparently had their claws into him and his agent.

Maybe it's just me, but that looks like a garbage team on paper.

I don't have a problem with that, as I believe Steve Clarke needs to experiment to find some sort of a blend for the playoffs. I'd rather he was starting with players like Porteous than 28 year olds like Fleck but Clarke needs freedom to experiment.

The right side of that defence looks woeful though, and I have no idea where a goal is going to come from. We'll probably manage to make excellent players like Robertson, Fraser and McGinn look poor to average as usual, which they are not.

Not that I like this team but Paterson hasn’t played right back for about 3 years.

Snodgrass plays on the right. Fleck plays central. McGinn is right of centre for Villa most weeks.

Lots I’m not keen on but don’t think the team is particularly unbalanced.

Callum McGregor must be the only CM player that Clarke has played every game. He’s mediocre at this level for me but seems to be first name on the team sheet.

I get that Kenny McLean is injured tonight and McTominay suspended though so may have influenced things.

[Sylar]

Wiki has a Scot called Palmer that plays for Sheffield Wednesday. I’ve never heard of him or the Aberdeen one :greengrin

It's Liam Palmer (Sheffield Wednesday) and he's been utterly abysmal every time he's pulled on a Scotland shirt.

I thought he'd come off the bench for a game too, but I'm wrong.

Well, he has a 100% record of being pish, but I take your point :greengrin

That seems to be a problem position for us - O'Donnell has looked poor every time he's been out there too.

Yeah we just don’t seem to have many options. I’ve not seen Palmer either but he is playing at a decent level. O’Donnell been gash for us too

[Sylar]

Absolutely dire so far.

Snodgrass especially has been poor.

[brog]

Not that I like this team but Paterson hasn’t played right back for about 3 years.

Snodgrass plays on the right. Fleck plays central. McGinn is right of centre for Villa most weeks.

Lots I’m not keen on but don’t think the team is particularly unbalanced.

Paterson moved to central midfield about 20 months ago but still played right back (& striker) from time to time when needed. I didn't mean they all play in the same position but the 3 players you mention & McGregor are all left footed, means they're all going to be turning into the same space.

[brog]

Absolutely dire so far.

Snodgrass especially has been poor.

Agreed, & I like Snodgrass. He doesn't seem able to run properly.

Overrated drossWe're horrendous but I did enjoy my usual Friday night session sitting near a group of 1 pint of lager each half England fans who spent the whole time not watching the game but spouting patriotically then disappeared straight after the second went in.

They're perennial quarter finalists who might get to a semi final every decade if they get nursed through the early stages like the last world cup

I've been one of those that said that England will win a major tournament in the next 10 years. Whilst last night was a poor display, I still believe they will.

Whilst I obviously hope they don't, at least they have a FA that sets far reaching goals and reaching a Semi Final is proof that they are going in the right direction.

That said, last night was the first time I've actually sat and watched a full England game. Gosh, they were poor.

I think the BBC sums it up nicely with the summary below.

Any hope the defensive uncertainty that characterised England's victory against Kosovo had been successfully addressed was banished inside the first 10 minutes in Prague.

Pickford saved brilliantly from Coufal as the Czech Republic responded to England's early salvo but there was the trademark confusion at the resulting corner which ended with Brabec stabbing home from close range.

England lived dangerously throughout and it was not a shock when they finally conceded late on.

Everton's Michael Keane struggles desperately at this level while full-backs Danny Rose and Kieran Trippier hardly covered themselves in glory either.

Harry Maguire looks the one staple in defence but he does not exude confidence either.

In other words, quality sides will relish facing this England defence and Southgate is running out of time to apply the fix.

Deserved last minute equaliser for Norway 👍


Looking at the remaining fixtures for that group and the standings, Norway have a very good shout of qualifying automatically from that group. Next game is against Romania but their final two matches are against Malta & Faroe Islands. Both Romania and Sweden still have to play each other and Spain. If they do qualify automatically, don’t know who will take their place in the playoffs? They are in the same section as us.

Finland also look a good shout as well but it’s been confirmed Bulgaria will take their place if Finland qualify automatically.

If Finland and Norway both qualify through their groups, Bulgaria and Israel would be the teams who would go into the play offs along with us and Serbia.

Serbia have an outside chance of qualifying automatically but i'd say it's unlikely.
