Unai Emery has managed 8 matches as an away team at Old Trafford in English football. His team have had seven different leads (0-1, 1-2, 0-1, 1-2, 0-2, 0-2, 2-4). Against Mourinho, Solskjaer, Ten Hag, Amorim, Carrick. Emery has not won any of those games.

Curious why Poch's name isn't being mentioned around the United job. Empowers players. Great at developing younger talent. Great at getting players fit. Press-first approach. School of Bielsa and bit Iraola in how he likes his team's to attack. US job showed his ability to bait + accelerate in current tactical meta. PL proven. He'd be my pick if Carrick were to go.

How are we back here again? We've seen how this film usually ends. On the pitch it was dire in Como. Off it? Ed and Dominic try to make sense of it all. @DomBooth19

Since Gary Neville described the opening 15 minutes of the second half against Fulham as the worst he’d seen from the club since childhood, the #MUFC players have clearly taken it upon themselves to prove they can sink even lower.

New podcast!
Defeat to Atletico. An improvement over Saturday but it'll likely get lost in the noise after Lisandro Martinez comments. Broke as we were recording.

City should be stripped of titles and the roll of honour left blank.

Mad how the Premier League's financial rules are so anti-competitive that West Ham, Crystal Palace, Spurs and Aston Villa have all won Euro trophies, Palace and Newcastle have won domestic cups, 8 clubs in UCL over 2 seasons + Sunderland/Bournemouth/Brighton all in Europe now.

There’s being well informed, across the detail, a withering grasp of facts and logistics. And then there’s this.
And to the Manchester United fans.
You could not call out your owners who extracted money and have put your club in perpetual debt. You stayed mute on wasted transfer windows and a leaking stadium. You ignored the deeper structural and organisational issues at your club.
But you erupt when Manchester City fans choose loyalty to owners in the wake of 115 stories. Owners that poured investment into the club and the local area and gave supporters the finest era of their lives.
The hypocrisy of football fans.
Dominic Booth retweeted
Amusing that the reaction from Newcastle and Leeds (?!) fans to the City verdict is to point out how bad United’s owners have been.
I mean, thanks for the concern guys. We have been trying to get them out for 20 years. We agree it shouldn’t have been allowed to happen. 🤦🏼

It’s obviously a difficult moment for Michael Carrick, but he deserves some patience. Won 12 of 17 games last season. Amorim was never allowed to forget his record after coming in mid-season, so can’t then ignore what Carrick did. You don’t turn into a bad manager overnight.

Chelsea have conceded 2 goals vs Fulham, 3 goals vs Brighton, 2 goals vs Arsenal & 3 goals vs Leeds. 10 goals, 4 games.
Why are they not being criticised the way Manchester United's defence is? Their defensive issues are arguably worse, but they're held to a much lower standard.
