Good result OK Pat, I missed the match myself. Garnacho developing into a bit of a star...

Not often have I had a lot to cheer about with Manchester United but I thought yesterday's 3-0 win was what us United fans have been waiting for.

Excellent performance, good goals and a much needed win to give us any chance of Top 4 finish.

Yeah, bit of confusion near the Fulham goal, but nice shot by Bruno. Overall they seemed evenly enough matched, Man U I thought had the efhe in tye first half, Fukham gaining confidence in the 2nd. Not played at any lind of pace really. Man U need to get better at finishing (amongst other things).

Manchester United  0 Manchester City 3.

What a humiliation in front of our Old Trafford fans on a day we were paying homage to the United legend Bobby Charlton.

As a club we are in real trouble both on and off the field.😢😢😢

What a comeback by Man United.

Had accepted this was another defeat.

Two late goals to steal it from Brentford 2-1.

We're still playing sh*te. Too slow in build ups and some players like Casemiro and Rashford just not doing it right now.

Fernandes on the right wing is wrong.

Garnacho and Pellistri should be our wingers especially with a striker like Hojlund up front.

Thrilled to see Manchester United won on Saturday.

OK just 1-0 against Burnley. No big deal but it's a win nonetheless.

Another bad defeat for Manchester United yesterday.

Not sure where this team is going but question marks are beginning to appear over Ten Hag's name and his stewardship.

His decision making re team selection and substitutions are baffling.

Still I stand by him for now but I fear he's making the same mistakes as Solskjaer by sticking with players who are underperforming.

Ireland don't have enough quality players to compete with teams who have players that play top flight football,so we will lose these games...that said,we didn't suffer any massive defeats,so that is a positive,and we were missing Evan Ferguson...does Kenny stay,or go ? we played some good football last night,and maybe deserved a draw.If Kenny goes,who do we get ? I don't think there is any manager who could do much better,with what we've got in the team,but we'll see.

I didnt get to see either game Pat, so dont have an "educated" view. But certainly its hard to see Stephen Kenny being allowed continue on after this campaign, not from what I read anyway...

We shall see...

So two defeats for Ireland in the Euro qualifiers.

Beaten by France and Holland, two decent sides.

I read a lot of calls for Kenny's resignation.

Justified or not? Or do we not have a good enough squad of players.

I don't see the games here so can't fully judge.

Couldnt agree more lads. For something meant to bring certainty to uncertain situations - its doing that for sure in some situations, but the other side of the coin is, its taking any level of discretion away from one person - the ref -.and giving it to another person - the VAR judge or whatever he/she is called.  Doesnt really make sense...

VAR is flawed,am not a fan of it,there's no excuse for it not working at this stage.

We were robbed.

That Garnacho goal in the 89th minute was onside.

Probably would have won us the game.

So many debatable decisions in the Premiership so far this season. 
One wonders with VAR and linesman how referees still seem to get it wrong.

And I'm not saying this in favour of United. It's happening in so many games now.

First post of the new season.

So far City four wins 100% record, 12 points. 

My team Manchester United two wins one defeat, 6 points.

We play away to Arsenal today. Not very confident after the way we played in our first three games but I live in hope.

Congratulations to Man City.

Absolute worthy winners today.

Played United off the park and proved why they're probably the best team in Europe at the moment.

We were chasing shadows all game and it showed the gulf in class between the two teams.

Work to be done on the United squad in the summer. 

But as disappointed as I am I still feel happy we had a decent season under EtH's first campaign as Manager.

For me am United through and through forever.

FA Cup Final tomorrow.

Manchester United vs Manchester City.

Historic final as both Manchester clubs have never met in an FA Cup Final before.

Going to a bar here to watch it. KO 10pm local time here.

Go on Man United. You can do it. 👏👏👏👏

Pat,Leicester sold a few players pre season,and didn't replace them,so I thought they might struggle this season,so it was worth a fiver bet...Gerry,yes,I had a free day out yesterday,and still 20 euro in my wallet
