United look like us under Chris Hughton. Not saying that’s a bad thing but you do expect something better than a nearly promoted side. Reckon Ipswich can cause some damage here.

Fire alarm at Stockley Park, no VAR

First time ever the “Is there a fire drill?” chant would be accurate

On Friday, the traditional Albion thing to do would be to help out a team that's on a bad run. Will we break the mould this time, I wonder? Feels like we're getting more ruthless. And hearing us described by the plucky manager yesterday as 'more clinical' sounded very unlike us. ???
If Hurzeler and his side learnt from Chelsea, they must’ve also learnt from Wolves (and Liverpool). In ascendency, stamp on or strangle your opponent

Pretty clear OG that, no deflection and that’s in the stand

A deserved equaliser for Ipswich. Ironically, Man Utd playing much the more agricultural football, no obvious transformation yet from Amorim.

That's easily solved with the remote volume, I like a silent game when Matterface, Darren Fletcher or the cockney woman commentate.

Was Drury praising Manure by any chance? People hate it when he heaps prose when a club (could be any club) they want to lose, scores.
He said something about 'Utopia' when Rashford scored. How to show everyone that you don't know the meaning of the word, he's unbearable.

I like crowd noise for atmosphere, but don’t need inane or overtly biased commentary to tell me what I can see perfectly well with my own eyes.
Wish they'd turn the background hullabaloo down - a lot! Can't make out what the commentators are saying (and to some of us, that's quite important) without turning everything up to deafening levels - and half the time it's still drowning out the commentary.

I’d gladly pay a small amount extra per month to have a commentator-free option on the TV coverage. This would be especially useful for any game featuring Peter Drury on the microphone.
He's unbearable isn't he. The way he shouts someone's name if he has a chance to score. The pre-rehearsed lines (in this game 'Reuben's Reds'). Painful.

This exactly! Especially one of the big teams. Problem is he shouts it so often Gaaarrnaaacho! and then he misses. It is so incredibly annoying, I want to punch him in the face.

Love that. Can't be doing with all these namby pamby types who say there's no place for physical violence in the world. Of course there is, as in this case, when it's warranted, appropriate and proportionate 👍
