Not regarding today's game; pretty certain there weren't any. I'm talking about United in general, or even football for that matter.

Has anyone got any good reasons to keep going? I've been a season ticket holder for a good twenty years now, so I've seen it worse on the pitch. Maybe I'm getting older, maybe the game is changing - or both? Finding it extremely hard recently to get excited about going to football games, and I turn up due to more of a resigned sense of obligation these days.

I've been toying with the idea of packing all in since the pandemic, watching us get relegated in a pathetic fashion, on TV, with empty stands seemed to suck the life out of it for me. I told myself it would be better once crowds were allowed, and things were back to normal, but I'm just as apathetic as I was then.

Can anyone help shake me out of it, or offer any sort of encouragement? I have a horrible feeling that today's game will be my last, and what a stinker to end it on.

That about sums up my feelings too.
 
We're still in a play off position and Bash is back playing, with Billy too next week.

That's about it.

Looks like we've hit the buffers at the wrong time and the striker injuries really biting now.
 
Big positive was south stand setting off a pyro, engulfing half the ground in smoke.
Or was it some old blokes pipe?
Only only other posiitve was laughing at some bloke doing his nut on the kop at somebody.
Think that's the match highlights sorted.

Imagine this team in the Prem it would be dreadfully embarrassing week in week out.
Last time we went up we had momentum passion and belief, this squad sadly lack any of those qualities 🤒

I don't think this bunch have the mental strength to get through to the play-offs let alone win them.
It's been a hard watch this bipolar football.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that'd be fine with getting shat on from a great height every week then using the hundred million quid to rebuild the season after

Possibility of A Steel City Derby is about all that could possibly want me to renew my Season Ticket. Even that is bottom of a barrel. Hah nowt to cheer you up.
 
The biggest positive today was that it was another fixture crossed off this sorry arsed season with the countless late kicks in the boolox that our 'heros' serve up for us. A big positive is that I hope the majority of them fuck off in the summer and aren't seen at the Lane again. Gutless unprofessional fuckers 90% of the squad.

No....sorry...
☹
 
Let’s be reyt. We’ve just had 4/5 years in football paradise haven’t we? Well, as far as being a United fan goes.

Once Wilder left the next period was always going to feel weird and underwhelming. At least PH has put us in the mix. Today’s result is fucking frustrating but it happens. It’s football. There will be loads more coupon-busters before the seasons out.

Yes mate- what else are you going to do, see the family? It's wank like, but it's not that wank.
 
Only Luton in the top 8 won today and if you watched forest at dinner time they were every bit as bad as we were !
 
I'll give Berge credit as he was the only one who kept the ball and ran with it and he was one of the main reasons why we equalised. Everything good in the five minutes prior to scoring where we actually started to create chances came through him keeping the ball and running at Reading.

At half-time, said the exact same to the bloke I regularly sit next to.

From a fans perspective, you can almost write off the last two calendar years because of the lockdowns. Until we returned this season, the last time we walked out of Bramall Lane, we had a successful team, we were in the top half of the Premier League on the verge of European Football, and we'd just broken our transfer record multiple times. We really were on the up so to speak. Nothing could go wrong the last time we were at the game.

After two years of what we've had, we've come back to games this season in a totally different position to what we left it in after Norwich at home in March 2020. The major culture change for the players and us as fans has been to adapt to losing one of our most successful managers ever. The players who had a winning mentality two years ago, aren't as effective as they were two years ago, but we can't change the squad in 5 minutes. One last attempt at glory with some of Wilder's old boys, and then if it doesn't happen, a new era will begin this summer. Big changes were always coming.

We're still in with a small chance in the here and now this season, and to be fair I think Heckingbottom has done a decent job with the circumstances, and the players that he has available to him.
 
Today felt like a Saturday & had a good catch up & pint with lads & I’ve got an extra day on the lash .. as for the match … room 101 !
 
Only 3 of the top 17 won. 4 of the bottom 7 won. This league is truly bipolar.
