Which United definitely won't, so it's a moot point.
Having a worse difference than Man City isn't really a sign of a poor season though; City's GD is currently over 30 while no other club has 20. Obviously we're having a poor season, but a GD that is substantially lower than City's (especially after the fixtures they've had) isn't necessarily a sign of that, as Saltire seemed to be implying.

Negative goal difference isn't very good though. The only teams who have conceded more are Fulham, Cardiff, Huddersfield and Burnley. I heard that even Southampton have made more chances than Man Utd the other day, and they're shit.

And that's a fair point. "Significantly worse GD than City" isn't really significant, as that applies to every team in the league.

You're right, epic. Personally, I'd have gone with the following observation:

"Significantly worse GD than City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham and notably worse GD than Bournemouth, Everton and Watford."

Much better indicator of a poor season.

Indeed, for a side like Man Utd who have the highest wage bill to be in negative goal difference at this stage is frankly scandalous. The difference between the two sides styles is highlighted by their respective goal difference.

We're that far ahead of everybody else that we are handicapping ourselves by trying to win the league with a negative goal difference.

Show us some fucking respect.

I dunno I think even the bitter Evs may be moving ahead of you now which says how far you've fallen. It's bad when it gets to that stage.

I'll just say on here that Mourinho will get sacked before the season's end and then Sam Allardici will get his chance at managing a big team as he always wanted.

Has anyone heard from Duncan Castles today? Can someone make sure he’s ok?

But Man Utd don't sack managers?

Surely they should give it to Moues until the end of the season. I mean, he DID sign a contract until 2019 so they wouldn’t need to pay him for it

It's not fine if he wins, though. Psychopathic behaviour like the way he threw his medical staff under the bus would have been deeply objectionable even if Chelsea had been having a good season. Likewise eye gouging Tito Vilanova and all the other stuff. United might win a bit (highly doubt it'll be next season tbh), but at what cost? Your name will be dragged through the dirt. Interesting to note that a poll on Redcafe about whether you wanted Jose as next manager was overwhelmingly negative at the start of the season. After the season you've had, it's now overwhelmingly positive.

To me, that suggests that deep down your fans know you're dancing with the devil, here. Worse, you're inviting him to build a dynasty for you. I expect this to go horribly wrong for United as a club.

Loving reading some of the earlier posts in this thread, especially those by a certain actor who is recently one of his primary critics on the other forum I frequent and who was very happy about this week's news.

I said on the first page he wouldn't be United manager in 4 years time, didn't even take that. He's finished at the top level.

A certain actor? :lol:

Hope so!
