Only a single Mancunian accent among them.

I've never understood watch alongs. Utterly bemused by them.

I wonder how they get to watch it anyway ? :wink:
They seem to have a ton of London "bruv, fam" streamers.

It's not true.

Whilst I expect us to finish below a bunch of the big spenders, it is possible for us to finish above them - with the exception of City. It's basically impossible to finish above them.
That is right, but I love that we are hearing unimaginable things from TV commentators and pundits. Those of us who watched in the crumbling Goldstone, away at god-forsaken Gillingham and home again in an open athletics track, well if they are anything like me they are actually living in cloud cuckoo land except it's turned out to be true!

'I can change the first 11 but nothing changes in terms of quality'​

FT: Man Utd 1-3 Brighton

Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi to BBC Sport: "I'm really pleased, really happy for the performance first of all but the result and the historic day for us. I enjoy watching my team play in a big stadium, get a big result. Now we must focus on Thursday because it will be another historic day and we want to perform for our fans."
On the strength of his squad: "We have a great squad with two players for every position. Depending on the day, the physical condition, I can change the first eleven but nothing changes in terms of characteristics. In terms of the quality of the payers, nothing changes."
On the quality from the bench: "They (the fans) have to say thanks to Tony Bloom because every year they are building a great squad, a great team, with many great players. The secret is the quality of the players. Then we work to give them ideas and organisation and everything they need."
On top four aspirations: "It's too early to fix a new target. Now we have a big target - the first game in European competition for us. We want to be ready to play, win and make our fans happy."

Peacock for me, the female commentator came a few times as Rashford scored a disallowed goal and whenever he bore down on us. Did she play for United?
As I said earlier, she is the daughter of the ex Utd coach Rene Mulensteen.

Wow.

4 league wins against them on the bounce, culminating in today's result. Next up, real European football (not pretend stuff that we applied for because no other club in England did).

I really can’t see what Seven Hag has to offer by comparison to RDZ. [Not a knee jerk thought based on today].

Some clubs such as Manure, Liverpool and Spurs often mention a tradition of playing a fast paced passing game, attack-attack-attack, going back to the 60’s.

Only one manager at OT today offers that football most weeks, RDZ.

His Ajax team were amazing. A little bit like us now, but not as good I don't think.

Any manager going to utd is destined to fail.

I genuinely think Ten Hags main modus operandi is being constantly angry with his players. Unfortunately for him he's not Brian Clough.

We play as a unit - always knowing where the next player is. This is why most of our 'exports' don't perform to the same level in their new clubs.
RDZ is really a fab manager, tactically and with regard to player-management.
We are very, very lucky to have him on board and he will clearly go on to (potentially) greater things, eventually.
I hope Mr.Bloom keeps keeps him happy to stay here for as long as possible.
We are doing great things...by our previous standards.
