Ruben Amorim 19:03 - Jan 19 with 4636 views | stainrods_elbow | https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c77r85gj45xo I know I've entered the odd criticism of Marti's post-match ruminations at times, but, Jesus Creepers, this man is frighteningly bad and really makes me grateful for MC's frankness, clarity and honesty almost all of the time. Calls his team possibly the worst in the club's 147 year history. Can come up with nothing more than 'we have to be better' and 'cant lose so many games'. And (leaving aside his language issues) generally casts about as much light on what needs to be done about his hilariously bad team as a total eclipse! And they say Rashford's a waste of money! As embarrassing as his team! On this evidence, they'll go down for more reasons than one. Bring it on! [Post edited 19 Jan 19:04]

Uninterested or disinterested? | |

Uninterested, a rare example of correct usage in place of the more usual incorrect disinterested. Disinterest means having a lack of personal involvement or being unbiased or impartial. Uninterested is not being arsed, ie what is normally intended in the context of football. | |

In the 'un' or 'dis' sense, though? | |

I’d say the team of 88/89 was pretty crap and no one ever brings that side up They had Ralph Milne and Russell beardsmore playing midfield for them | |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Ruben Amorim on 10:07 - Jan 20 by Toast_R | They were very fortunate to beat Southampton at Old Trafford the other night. The bottom club who are nailed on relegation out played them for 80 minutes and missed so many chances to put them to bed. I can only assume the majority of the Utd squad have gone rogue. They upped their performance for Liverpool and Arsenal but then, matches against anyone else, they play like it's beneath them and they did that when their club was honouring the passing of club legend in Dennis Law. God knows why Amorim took that job. He won't get the time required to turn it around. Did Antony really cost £80M? That has to be the worst signing in English football, ever. Ten Hag did that deal. |
Chelsea have had a few stinkers in recent years. Mudryk cost about 90mil and has hardly scored. Lukaku almost 100mil and played 26 games. | | | |

Harsh, you have to judge Mudryk based on the full 8 years of his contract. | | | |

I've long felt that, as a club, ManUre need to decide on what their aim is. Do they A: Just want to win things, even if that means a laser focus on squad balance and relying on a lot of "steady Eddies" B: Want to focus instead on having an eye-catching team full of established mega stars and the latest flashes in the pan? It's very difficult to do A and B simultaneously, as I think they are finding, currently. If they want option A, they might want to bring in Gasperini, the Atalanta manager. He works wonders with young players and cast-offs. Not that I'd like him to leave Atalanta, I love the way that modestly sized club is shaking up both Serie A and European football. I dream that QPR can one day be like them, complete with a tastefully renovated stadium like theirs. | |

Bobby Charlton was player-manager of Preston by then. He left Man Utd in the summer of 1973. | |
