Absolutely ******* it down in Co. Roscommon.

Don’t think we’ve had one so far so I’m expecting a pen for Utd for holding in the box.
Even after the change refs are still stopping the taking of corners & FKs to warn players.
DON’T give the decision your eyes see.
COYC. UTC.

8 seconds for the keeper to release and yet you can take an age over a throw in.

They've still got plenty of quality, but I'm amazed he's dropped his £70m striker again. Also Dorgu, who I thought had been one of their better players. Seems wedded to 3-4-3. Keep it tight for half an hour and you never know.

And move the ball like 10 yards up the pitch.

I wouldn't suggest Sesko has been dropped seeing as he hasn't started in the league yet. He's seemingly not match fit in the same way some of our new signings haven't been

Shame Broja hasn't mae the bench after appearing midweek

Prepare yourselves for the dodgiest penalty decision you've ever seen today. For United obviously. Just got a feeling.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Sat Aug 30, 2025 2:06 pm

Expecting a very tough game today, how we start is so important. Fingers crossed we can keep them quiet first 20 and grow into the game

It will probably be a FK outside the box but on review, the VAR will decide that the shadow was inside the penalty area.

Today would be a marvelous day for Foster to notch. Really unlucky not to have his goal last week.

No Tresor either.

Need to keep it tight,put them under a bit of pressure if we can and get the crowd on their back.

It’s written into the Premier League rules that Man. U. are to be provided with a penalty whenever the game isn’t going their way

Afternoon folks from some chilly, grey Derbyshire hills.
Give 'em nothing. Get them uptight. Three points please.

COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

Watching in Shanghai. Looking forward to 3 points tonight.

Watching in the Philippines and thinking we can start well and nick a goal and the crowd will turn on the manager which will play into our hands. UTC

Not sure if Dubravka has picked up an injury, but he’s not currently warming up with the rest of the team.

Interesting that we're unchanged from the Sunderland game, thought Sonne may come back in and we set up a touch more defensive or whatever... To me, it shows that SP doesn't fear United.

Come on you Clarets!!

Why would he? We're always likely to struggle against the top sides, so midtable clubs like ourselves need to go all out for three points whenever we're playing one of the relegation fodder minnows.

Must be one hell of an aerial!

I guess that means it's on Sounds. I thought they only broadcast football on Lancs via the airwaves.
