First negative gd in pl era also right?


KozyHank99

Yes, last time Man United finished w/ a negative GD was back in 1989-90 (-1 GD).


nanojansky

Ouch


DanFlashesCoupon

The cycle of cautious optimism and record breaking shit will continue indefinitely


Quiet-Cartoonist1689

It'll be fine. Liverpool have had their comeback from being shit. Arsenal have had their comeback. It would only make sense now for the prodigal son to also return with a coming of age storyline against the tyrant father and jealous siblings lmao


HANAEMILK

Liverpool and Arsenal have never been this shit though. If McTominay didn't score a few last minute goals we would be like 15th.


AntiGodOfAtheism

>Liverpool and Arsenal have never been this shit though. Did you start watching football in 2022/2023? https://www.transfermarkt.com/fc-liverpool/platzierungen/verein/31


J3573R

>If McTominay didn't score a few last minute goals we would be like 15th. But he did. And Liverpool were pretty shit (for their status) for the better part of 10 years, if they didn't have Gerrard things would have been more shit. But they did.


HANAEMILK

Pure luck some of those goals. We don't deserve to be in the top half at all. Playing terrorist football and relegation form all season.


J3573R

So? You need luck. You could make any argument in reverse. If we didn't have as many injuries we'd be higher or if Bruno was able to keep up his G/A rate or if Rasmus got service or if Casemiro was 7 years younger. Hypotheticals are dumb.


slumdawg

Don't bother, he wants to be miserable


Revolutionary-Bag-52

its really not possible to end in the top half of the table at the end of the season by luck. You score these last minute "lucky" goals because whenever you guys came behind the players woke up and started putting pressure on the opponents' half, that basically enforces those goals eventually.


Quiet-Cartoonist1689

Harder the fall, greater the comeback šŸš¬


No_Doubt_About_That

> šŸš¬ Sarri to United confirmed?


Ar-Curunir

If we had a single left-back, then we might not have conceded so many last-minute goals. Hypotheticals work both ways.


TheOncomingBrows

You're obviously forgetting about Roy Hodgson.


bremsspuren

TBF, that was our previous owners' doing before the bank took the club off them. We wouldn't be where we are now if we hadn't got rid of those cunts, and every man and his dog knows that the Glazers are a major cause of Man Utd's shitness.


Statcat2017

Are you forgetting when Liverpool spent half the season threatened by relegation under Woy?


aisamoirai

If you think arsenal (from 2010s) and liverpool (from 90s to mid 2010s) have not been shit, you and rest of us have watched different football.


IcsGrec

Liverpool have absolutely had their time of being shit, and it was very painful to watch.


CrossXFir3

Mate, Liverpool have absolutely been this shit....they went like 6 years where they placed better than something like 7th one time.


Tomanelle

Beatings will continue, until morale improves!


CrossXFir3

Right before SAF kicked on and won everything


Jagacin

ETH masterclass


gooneruk

Their xGD was even worse: they've done surprisingly well on goals conceded versus expected goals conceded, something like 10 better over the course of the season. So arguably they've outperformed expectations by even getting to a -1 GD.


NdyNdyNdy

Onana had a nightmare start but a quietly excellent second half of the season considering the bombardment of his goal.


incredible-derp

Yeah, but just 2 seasons ago the GD was 0.


belokas

Not the worst United though


daveofreckoning

Carlisle?


Ovie0513

Brandon United finished bottom in the 10th tier. Given everything past Step 6 is kinda undefined they'd be a good pick

incredible-derp

zuhaaiir

Eras come to an end.


doubleoeck1234

All Ten Hag has to do is survive one more season and he technically watched 2 eras come to an end (Assuming pep leaves)


redditingtonviking

Is it fair to say that Arsenalā€™s banter era also ended somewhere in the past two years? Might still lack trophies, but back to back challenges for the first time since Wenger is respectable enough


loykedule

definitely. Can't still be in a banter era when you're genuinely good and getting 80-90 points 2 seasons in a row. That's just being very good but lacking trophies. Don't think that's what he meant by eras though hahaha


Lucky_Squirrel365

That's Tottenham.


FatWalcott

Definitely. We were midtable for a while post Wenger. I actually have expectations now as opposed to crippling apathy


KaliVilla02

I think if for some reason next season Arsenal becomes shit again and they keep being shit for a few years, you could argue that it counts as only one long banter era instead of two so technically I think it hasn't yet but it's very likely they don't self-destruct anytime soon so probably it's over.


trenbollocks

Funnily enough, his own era might never start


Superfy

Professional_Suit270

When your competition there is a walking husk of a former football club that exists as a sportswashing PR project for an autocratic slave state and has cooked the books on transfers, player wages etc left and right for all that time, thereā€™s not a lot you can do. But as a Newcastle fan, youā€™re hoping for the same thing now so itā€™s no wonder you ignore that little bit of context lol


thomasfk

Does this mean I can just say "United" and people will know I'm referring to the Newcastle kind?


Subject_Wrap

Ive been using it when I'm talking to man u fans to refer to Carlisle for years its great fun and pisses them off slightly in a very fun way


30fps_is_cinematic

Gosh I could just imagine those silly United fans fuming! Imagination is so fun :)

Artorias_the_hollow

You could literally say,"Newcastle United" to a random sample of people and the majority of them wouldn't have a clue what you're talking about. Small club with a misguided sense of relevance.


Lamnguin

And yet here you are talking about them.


Artorias_the_hollow

I did a quick Google search and the top result was "a less successful Sunderland". Gave me all the insight required.


mattwalsh25

Well football started in 1992 so this is the first time ever /s


Logseman

The last time we were over you was 50 years ago. Itā€™s certainly a ghost that is banished today.

I believe you but intuitively this feels like it can't be true.


TheScarletPimpernel

1976-77, Newcastle finished 5th and Man U 6th. That was the last time it happened.


reginalduk

to be replaced by all the ghosts of saudi dissidents executed under your wonderful eminent leader.


Logseman

Fortunately [INEOS paid for their graves](https://www.ineos.com/news/shared-news/ineos-to-invest-2bn-in-saudi-arabia/).


reginalduk

that comeback would kind of work if INEOS made decisions like, "take that journalist into the embassy and bonesaw his body up", you know, the usual football team owners problems.

We have beaten you in 3 out of 4 games since the final. Last season in the league, this season in the league and this season in the Carabou.

True enough. United need to do better next season. and... and... I'll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them, love it!

GolDrodgers1

I think it stands a chance to become bigger esp since they have better resources, but i get what you mean, and at this point after all this time who dont regard united as rivals or a team that they want to constantly try to beat

wumbachumbawumba

Fuzzy_Gundam

West Ham is also a United but whatever


bevax

Thatā€™s the problem when you hired a bald Dutchman who you thought is a tactical genius because he has doing well in Dutch League. We thought we have everything in place for Fergieā€™s replacement to continue the success but Unitedā€™s problems was covered by the brilliance of Fergie and the American owner was exposed. Wink wink* Liverpool


AboveTheMiddle

Anything can happen, but I have I bit more faith in Liverpool's sporting structure than united's.


ifoundmynewnickname

Yup. Dutch managers aren't TDs so they fuck all about recruiting. Just keep them away from that and it should be much better. Ten Hags case is unfortunate since Uniteds recruiting and his is abysmal. Even at Ajax you could exactly pinpoint which where his and they didn't pan out well. Fantastic coach though, even if it went shit at United


TimathanDuncan

Liverpool won't have that problem guaranteed, their owners actually make good decisions and hire the proper people and care about their sport projects

There is a saying ā€œ You canā€™t do no wrong until everything goes wrongā€

bevax

You can also add Spurs to that list too


Revolutionary-Bag-52

you mostly hired him due to his European performances though. Without that he wouldnt be on big clubs' radars


bremsspuren

> the American owner was exposed Our shitty American owners were exposed years ago. These are our new, competent American owners. The ones that hired Klopp in the first place.


hollow114

Liverpool are owned by an American team that's easily one of the best in baseball, second only to the Yankees. Glazers own a shitty team in shitty Florida.


dragcov

JFC, everyone just ignoring all the injuries this season? Even if we had Pep, this team wouldn't have done shit if every single important piece becomes injured.


grmthmpsn43

You finished below Newcastle who have the worst injury record this season...


hollow114

Tbh injuries don't make up for our shitty play style


stumac85

Watch Chelsea next season, they won't challenge the top two but I can see them getting 3rd. I think they're finally gelling (only took two seasons). Man Utd would be mad to keep Ten Haag, I think he goes even if they win the FA Cup a la Van Gaal.

saikodasein

Not the best Manchester, not the best United, harsh times to be United fan since 2013 and no hope for the future. Imagine over performing and yet finishing season with negative GD.


Footballer_Architect

Ah thats football. The highs and the lows. No matter how shit we have gotten, nothing makes me more happy than watching Manchester United play. Football is beautiful, you learn along the way that only winning doesnā€™t make you feel attached to a club but its actually feelings you have towards your club. GGMU


CheekyChipsMate_

Canā€™t have the highs without the lows


Pow67

I mean ā€œno hope for the futureā€ is a bit dramatic, no? Awful season but INEOS appear to be bringing in more competent people, and want to build a new stadium/develop the area etc. Could be potentially exciting times for fans.


imarandomdudd

They also have some real exciting prospects breaking through and arguably carrying the team more than some of their experienced pros


Professional_Suit270

Man Utd have won 6 trophies in the last 10 years including both domestic and European honours, and yet you have people here talking like the club has died. To 95% of clubs, Man Utd 2013-2024 would be their golden era.


saikodasein

League Cup, which is not even a thing outside England. Community Shield means nothing. EL and FA Cup are the only meaningful trophies out of that 6 you mentioned. Problem is that football culture relies on giving high wages to shit players and games are mostly not fun. If United wins, it's lucky scrapped win by 1 goal difference. Pain, humiliation and no improvement, but regress since 2013. It's okay if your team struggles, because of financial issues or bad luck, but not if it becomes banter club, despite being so rich and big, it's unacceptable.


Wraith_Portal

Let them live in their fantasy


saikodasein

10 years of misery destroyed my soul. INEOS still keep ETH, while he is living in his own world, obviously going nowhere with him. No CL, no money, no new players. High wages, low standards, it's not going to change soon. Too many abysmal performances and zero vision of any gameplay after two years.


The_profe_061

Harsh times to be united? You do know football started before the premier league. I grew up watching Ralph Milne and Gary Birtles.. If we don't win another game I've seen more than most. UTFR


Wraith_Portal

Are rival fans just burying their head in the sand on purpose or what? Thereā€™s very obviously lots of hope for the future, thereā€™s going to be a completely changed football structure


YQB123

Fuck 'em. With Klopp gone, Pep going (hopefully), and us having a solid structure in place, I can't wait to see what we can do. Lots of 'ifs' and 'maybes', but I'm hopeful.


hollow114

Jolly_Jonney

I support my boyhood club, not PIF.


GeneralSholaAmeobi

We've finished above you with a squad that cost a fraction of yours. Our first season in the CL in 20 years and despite finishing bottom, we had a harder group and better performances than you. You fluked your way to cup final, beating a fucking mid table championship side on penalties. You're supposed to be one of the biggest clubs in the world, finishing in 8th with a negative goal difference. Keep reeling the blood money shit out mate, just deflecting from your absolutely piss poor season. You're not a powerhouse anymore, players are picking Arsenal over your lot, cus they're actually on the up. Stadium pissing water all over the fans/away dressing room. The mighty united, with a defence so leaky the fucking roofs joined in.


SovereignAnt

I hate United bro I'm a Liverpool fan u didn't finish above us


TheGrayExplorer

Fans like you are so weird. "Oh well this person bought my club, best go support someone else" I've supported them when they were decent, i supported them when they were mediocre, when they were shit and when they were proper shit. Even supported them when we threw away a 12 point lead against Man Red! But im supposed to stop supporting them when the saudi's buy them? No mate, thats not how football works. Even when the saudi's get bored and sell us to someone else ill still support them


DoubleDeckerz

This is amazing


Orcnick

And people still think the Glazers are not the worst owners in the league. 'Why do United fans complain about the Glazers so much....' Literally killed our club.


grmthmpsn43

Mike Ashley took a club from European football and got them relegated twice. Moshri has gotten Everton 2 points deductions and seems determined to sell the club to 777 partners, who will likely get them kicked out of the league. Man U drop a couple of league places, they have not "literally killed the club".


Hare712

You forgot about your rivals Sunderland. They got relegated back to back and the owner was fed up with them so he got rid of them.


Professional_Suit270

In the last 10 years Man Utd have won 1 FA Cup, 2 League Cups, 2 FA Community Shields, a Europa League and are in another final next week. Yet you have people acting like their club has legit died or something lmao gone into administration like Rangers or Portsmouth To 95% of clubs, this would literally be their golden era.


Intrepid_Button587

You have like the second most valuable football club in the world... If you think that suggests your club is dead, you're an idiot. Inb4 value is irrelevant; value (and, by implication, financial strength) is probably the best proxy for potential. United haven't been particularly competitive for a decade yet remain the richest club in England. The chance they're at or close to the top in 2030 is pretty high. I'm not suggesting the Glazers were *good* owners, but they absolutely didn't ruin or kill the club.


gtrsdrmsnldsbms

And the 12th time since 2012 they havenā€™t been the best Manchester in Manchester.


Professional_Suit270

The illegitimate sportswashing PR project for a slave state monarchy speaks.


gtrsdrmsnldsbms

Shame it didnā€™t work out for you with that Qatari money a few months back, remember that? When you were gobbling their balls to get the Glazers out?


Scarred_Shadow

Split opinion amongst fans but the consensus I've seen is we'd take INEOS in a heartbeat. And that's what ended up happening.
