The team isn't developing though. Terrible on a consistent basis and still no style of play after 2 seasons. United have had injuries but he has spent more than enough to have cover but most of his signings have been bad.

Most of the consistent terrible stuff has been seen this season due to a lot of disruption going on without a settled starting 11 and forced to play 15 different centre back pairings and no natural left back,  it's more survival mode than be able to have a consistent style of play in that situation.  Yesterday especially 1st half and in the majority of the Old Trafford games last season I believe is the style of play Ten Hag wants which is a compact,organised defensively and good on the transition and his signings has played their part in finishing 3rd in the table last season and winning two trophies.

Surely being organised defensively should be a given with any team. Yesterday's first half was just similar to what Mourinho or any other coach would do against a superior team.

His signings haven't been great either. Malaria, Martinez, Antony, Casemiro, Eriksen, Amrabat, Mount and Onana have all not delivered.

Today showed the old FA Cup still has some charm. Workmanlike performance and deserved win against a City team that was unbeaten in 35 games before today.

Two trophies in two seasons Ten Hag has won for United and before he arrived United hadn't won a trophy since 2017. In his own words "When I took over, it was a mess at United. The team is developing and winning trophies now" This cup win was better than the league cup success last season as both Liverpool and Man City were beaten against the odds.

Lots of pundits and journalists have chosen to ignore the long injury list United have had this season which included patched up back fours with midfielders filling in,  that was the prime reason for such a poor league season and should be taken into account by Jim Ratcliffe and co then they do their end of season review and after it if their decision is to part ways with Ten Hag and replace him with some of the names mentioned in the media it will add another chapter to the decade of incompetence.

Yes I know, I know...but how does this Tyson fight go? Is he too old?

Yes, but he's still an angry animal.

I'd wonder if there are certain clauses and restrictions associated with the fight and if Tyson would really even care when the blood boils.

Tyson doesn't seem too angry anymore. He looked decent v RJJ but look back at how bad he was in his last competitive fight and that was 20 years ago. You would think there is some script but if anybody in the world is going to lose the head and go against the script, it would be Tyson. Ego versus money, only one winner in Tysons case.

Southgate said he dropped Rashford and others as he picked players on form. He has selected Luke Shaw and Ivan Toney, hardly players in form. Solanke has got nearly 5 times the number of league goals that Toney has.

Sugar was good. Dark Matter decent so far.

Derry wouldn't have been far away from winning it either. It was a very tight Ulster final. They could be counted as the moral champions.

Using that logic I'm sure tyrone could have 'won' a few more titles at underage.

You can't let a round go on another few seconds just to see what happens. If the bell goes the bell goes. It was strange scenario in fairness. Fury would have been better taking a knee then holding on for the final few seconds. Easier said than done of course as Fury was all over the show.

Too brave for his own good. The effort expended staying up was worse for him in the long run rather than if he had went down and took the count.

Usyk being a southpaw will potentially cause Fury lots of problems. If Fury is near his best and the last fight was a one off and not a sign of decline, then he should win.

Any hidden gems movie wise?

Late goal/winner for Chelsea disallowed. Pochettino thinks the decision was unbelievable but the ref missed a push in the back in the lead up to the goal and for me the correct decision in the end.

Very harsh to disallow. Very similar to Arsenal and Wolves last week when Jesus nudged Matt Doherty and goal was given.

Harsh? Clear foul that was as obvious as you would see on the street.

Enjoying Sugar so far.

Salah, for all the praise he gets, has form for going missing in the second half of seasons when the heat is on.

Like this is funny??
Let's go with this one. A mate just turned 60, T2D for 10 years treated with all the standard drug protocols. Carrying too much weight,has nasty foot ulcer for over 12 months, diabetic retinopathy requiring injections into his eyeballs, regularly shits himself and now on insulin like a T1.
He hangs on every word of his dietitian with the healthy whole grains and low saturated fat, 5 a day, healthy cooking oils crap. All the while steadily declining.
Someone who is severely insulin resistant(carbohydrate intolerant) eating loads of carbs. In what universe does that make sense.
Won't listen to a word I say regardless of me showing him evidence of 100s of people just like him resolving their symptoms by drastically reducing the carbs in their diet.
Adamant he's going to listen to the doctors and nurses, they know best after all. And he's married to a nurse!
Sorry couldn't find any humour in this sad tale.

If he is injecting insulin then he can take as much carbs as he wants, as long as he counts properly.

The mind boggles with this kind of thinking.

What kind of thinking?

On another matter, there seems to be, a few new posters on here past few weeks. On the messages, I get the impression they been on here before or jumping between a few names.

On the matter at hand watching the goals again, first was terrible, second Lynch actually scored it, it was going wide, forth lying in a heap in midfield embarrassing stuff.

The 2nd wasn't going wide but he made a balls of it. Should have kept it out.

The thing that stood about thise goals was him seemingly jogging back.  Surely he should be anticipating these scenarios and be busting his balls to get back.
