[United Aren't Back.]

I mean...I know there's context and such...but the guy has 2 hands round Hamer's throat. If that isn't a textbook red card I don't know what is. Not saying I agree with the current rules, but under those rules he should

Really enjoyable match today for the first time at home in a long while.
Clearly first half we were set up to keep it tight and not commit forwards and in general we kept them at bay reasonably comfortably albeit they were a bit sloppy in the final 3rd.
Second half was much improved from an attacking point of view and Fulham looked nervous defensively. Although they have some big fuckers at the back, BBD and McB got at them for a 10-15 minute period, not seen the replays of the 4th goal but it that was allowed then I think we see the game out.

14 mins added on gives Fulham a huge boost and we just retreated further and further back where it felt like Everytime they went forwards they were going to score.

They have some proper talented players in that side and I’m surprised that they aren’t higher up the table, although they are really obviously inconsistent. On balance a draw was a good result although it feels like a defeat.

I thought Arlblaster had a great game for his full home debut - especially when you look at the talent in Fulham’s midfield. Next season he will be one of our key men.

Officials were an utter disgrace, including the selective VAR decisions. Not sure how hands round the throat isn’t a red?

Because it was Shirley Bassey on a Blades man. Other way round, no goal and ten men. What fucking irritates me is we are unable to tell what the fucking hell is being investigated all we get is a pompous headmaster type prick prancing about like a fucking knob end,for ten fucking minutes. Pompous cunts they are.

So go on then….give us the name of who you want as the next manager? And be realistic - someone who will have 15 players out of contract in June & a very limited budget available after a couple of big player sales(ie. Anel & Souza). And someone who will work under the Prince……

So please give me a name?

Just a short drive across the city would do it

Does Nigel Adkins still live in Sheffield?

Throw that away.

So… go on let’s start the debate… let’s have names of managers who will realistically come here & work under the restrictions Prince Abdullah now has us under. So let’s not mention McKenna at Ipswich anymore either.

Can anyone think of realistic people who would come here if Wilder was sacked?

CW on substitutions

"[Fulham's subs], Traore, Jimenez, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Kenny Tete, Tom Cairney... this is what we're up against. I'm stating facts. Marco Silva's not making physical substitutions, he's making subs to get back in the game. I'd absolutely love to be in that position, I've love to be in the position of bringing Rhian Brewster, Cameron Archer, Tom Davies on, keeping Vini and Arblaster on. It's not about me or I'll look clever or we'll look clever as a coaching staff or 'ooh that was good, that was a great tactical move'. Sometimes it's best staying with what you've got but when they can't move, two of the midfielders couldn't move, and at 80 minutes Graham Scott told us there'd be 10+ minutes of injury time, I've got to look and speak to the medical guys and the conditioners and say 'can these boys see that out?' I'd love to be in Marco's position and hopefully we will be when we get it right because I will get it right in preseason, we'll have a really strong preseason and hopefully we'll get the players in when we need to get them in from a coaching and conditioning POV."

Even though they brought on those world beaters De Cordova & Traore!
