Have to say, we look miles behind any of the top 4 rivals (bar United). I know it’s early but really think it will be a tough ask to get top 4 this season. 

Really? Tottenham 0-1 at home against Sheffield United with 92 minutes played. 16 minutes of ridiculous added time in which they score two goals.

You think they are miles ahead of us?

At this point they should just pause the time like american sports if they are going to add all these minutes

Indeed. 16 minutes added time for Tottenham today at home. That is beyond a joke. Sheffield United were still winning after 97 minutes! If it was 1-0 to Tottenham at the end of 90 minutes would an additional 16 minutes have been added for the benefit of Sheffield United? Call me a conspiracy theorist if you want. I really don't care. The constant VAR interference with a line drawn on one camera frame, when the frame before or after shows something different, and now the match officials being given carte blanche to add as much time as they deem right. That's not football.

Rapidly losing interest in the EPL.

Even Fergie couldn't get 16 minutes added on to a United home game.

Was looking through United’s red cafe forum and thought this thread in particular to be of  interest, as it’s essentially the problem we have, regarding style of play and the DNA not changing despite overhauling squads and having different managers.

As with many times over the years well done Vitesse Arnhem.

Don't sweat it. Had he still been in charge today, he'd have got a half hour added on in that scenario.

We got some new DNA ever since Roman left and the Potter-illness came in. Other than that, it takes time for the new key players to establish a bond and a real group that is capable of getting the job done but our signings on paper look much more impactful in comparison to Man United, Enzo alone looks more amazing than anyone they signed, part from Casemiro that is comparable in those terms.

I can't even complain about the amount of added time. You can guarantee that if we get 16mins added on time we would be lucky to score one goal. You can forget about scoring 2 goals in the space of 2 minutes.

He is bang on imo, but will get fined am sure.

The new rules and the refs use of them cost his side 3 hard earned points today.

Where was our 16 minutes to try (and fail) to get added time goals vs Forest?

DNA = player. 

Ten hag signed and tried to implement tippy tappy ball with United.

He basically try to play a system to get the best out of Antony, eriksen, Martinez 

When his two best player by far are rashford and bruno. 

It was a complete disaster.

Neither Giroud, Pulisic or RLC could prevent AC Milan going down 5-1 to Inter.

Might be ours. One spot left to decide along with Luton and Sheff United.

Massive red flag on united especially on their manager because this is not new. This has been united problem for a while now. 

Brighton game will probably be the best player rating Mount's going to get this season... 😁

 

Santos on the bench for Forest, this his regular role for them?

Callum can shoot

Of course CHO scores a worldie 

 

 

And no minutes for Santos.

Thomas frank is one of my favorite manager. Brentford was a dominant side in championship but when they came to pl, he didn't just stick to their principle. 

Well we have used this joke on others, and is better if we can laugh at ourselves.

Who are we playing in Europe this midweek? Lol

I think UEFA have made an admin error with the teams and competitions. I’ve emailed them to let us know our fixtures.
