VAR judges in their favour.
Yup, it makes a difference ...
I'm glad they won regardless - the longer Ole has a job, the longer the team will maintain top 4 as an aspiration.
You wanted them to get a draw and peeved the gods.
I want them to lose 99% of the time.
Marine are through to the FA cup 3rd round. Scoring in the 120th minute 1-0.

We’ve had a horrific start to the season and still go into next week joint top.
Yeah absolutely that
We've been shagged by injuries, covid and horrible VAR usage more than other side in the league yet were just second on goal difference
Mourinho and everyone else knows that we will only get stronger and lackluster performances are usually an anomaly to this team, moreso then a rule so yeah , I'll take this super horrible , less than ideal start to the season
If it's like this into the last few weeks of the season id absolutely back us to see it through

I don't think you can say we'll get better. If anything, we'll get worse and suffer more injuries.
The hope is that shitty VAR and injuries spread out more fairly around the rest of the league and drag the other challengers down too.

Edinson Cavani, the Manchester United striker, could face a three-game ban if the Football Association deems that he used discriminatory or racist language in an Instagram story shared from his account on Sunday evening.
The FA has confirmed it is investigating the post, which was published shortly after United’s 3-2 win over Southampton, in which Cavani scored two goals after coming on as a half-time substitute.

In the post – which was later deleted – the words “gracias negrito!” are used to thank a follower congratulating Cavani on his performance in the match at St. Mary’s.

Social media postings are covered by FA Rule E3, and if a comment is deemed to include a reference to a person’s ethnic origin, colour, race or nationality, then that will be regarded as a potential aggravating factor in any punishment. The rules also make it clear that the owners of social media accounts are responsible for any content posted from their account, whether by themselves or by a third party.
Additionally, deleting an inappropriate post does not necessarily prevent a sanction from being imposed. Last year, Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva was banned for one match after posting and then deleting a tweet comparing his teammate Benjamin Mendy to the cartoon figure on a brand of Spanish chocolate. If the FA decides to pursue the case it will write to Cavani in the next few days asking for his written observations. Any charge must be issued by next Monday.
The word in question – “negrito” – was the same one used by Cavani’s friend and Uruguay teammate Luis Suárez to Patrice Evra during a game between Liverpool and Manchester United in 2011. At the time, Suárez argued that the word was a term of endearment and not intended as a form of racial abuse. However, the FA’s disciplinary panel rejected this explanation, and Suárez was banned for eight matches.
At the start of this season, the FA issued fresh guidelines on racist language and behaviour on social media, with offences carrying a minimum ban of three matches. Manchester United were not available for comment on Sunday night.

Hes right though, on what basis can we assume that the injury situation will ease up when we are losing players faster than we are getting them back
Its probably going to be a revolving door until January when we have the chance to strengthen.

Because that won't continue ? Clearly these are exceptional circumstances exacerbated by the proliferation of National Team games and the CL. Both will ease off shortly and we can expect to see more returning than dropping out.
But the midweek CL fixtures just get replaced with midweek PL fixtures
It's a term on endearment, as any fule kno.
For the 5 or 6 weeks we're playing every 3 days. We're going to see more injuries, for sure.
