Good win

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Glad we won but we always seem to be in jeopardy even with a two goal cushion. The difference was we managed the game better this time.

Bring on Leicester!

With games coming thick and fast until the 4th I would have preferred us to control the last 30 but it wasn't to be.

Was worried at half time that we didn't score while by far the best side. Those two early goals put those fears to bed.

I thought he was very lenient with their pushing. It should never had been a throw to them for their goal, O'hare was clearly flattened.

Thought it was Demi who got shoulder barged

wilder has said what all united fans know.first 65 in most games were as good as anything in this league its his job to sort the problem of the last 25 when were usually as bad as anything in this league

is it just me but i smell bit of BS on this,

https://www.efl.com/news/2025/decem...d-follow-the-efl-over-christmas-and-new-year/

because i believed that with this new EFL deal, every game that isnt a saturday 3pm kick off is now televised & yet i couldnt watch play stoke on monday 7.45pm KO. Because "These games are displaced Saturday matches, so reflect the usual number of TV selections for a Saturday fixture list" but the way the calendar falls, the EFL knew full well these fixtures would land on Monday. because they arent going to ask "can you play wrexham at 5.30pm on boxing day, & then stoke at 3pm the following day".

To then turn around and say “ah yes, but we’ll count them like Saturday picks” is short-changing fans Instead they’ve wrapped it in corporate fluff and hoped nobody noticed

Think you could've watched it via United's coverage.. with a VPN..

Hopefully Wilder will convey this apparent mental flaw. If we're on top for 65 minutes ( as we often are) surely we can be aware and organise accordingly.

the corner before the corner stoke scored from sorba thomas took it from at least a foot outside the quadrant know players pinch a bit on.corners but never seen one as blatant as that one
