I’m convinced Fulham should win this one but just as Ten Haag would get himself results to save himself I think that might be the case here. United seem better when they are playing away from home.

Iwobi shot, Onana saves, in a particularly Onana way.

I wouldn’t take it personally. I have that feeling when talking to most people here.

But I’d have as much interest as buying into whatever “Utopia” you aspire to as I would signing up to those online games that pretend you can win $50 by just playing on them for ten minutes.

I don’t remember a time where football wasn’t a commodity. I was born a month into the season when clubs started wearing corporate sponsors on their shirts. I think trying to pinpoint any one moment in time where greed wasn’t a factor and fans not encouraged to buy into that greed and then suddenly it all changed is utterly arbitrary.

The difference as far as I can ever distill from your homilies is that you believe that clandestine forces operate in order to change human nature from its intended purpose. I think avarice is a key component in human nature especially in a world of scarcity

Utopia? That's what you are calling documented history now? It ain't broken so let's fix it, and when it turns to abject shit - well what do you expect, it's not like it's possible to have what we had before we fixed it? If you can't distinguish the difference between football in the 70s, 80s, 90s and progressively then it's because you aren't trying. And you can conjure up all the secret cabals you want and then try to pin them on me, while I'll continue to report on the unchecked march of human greed. My explanation is far more credible than the one you have to invent for me so you can apologise for your lack of interest in the steady decline of everything worthwhile. I said lack of intelligence, but complacency is another cancer.

Terrible quality.

What I’m saying is you’re not an objective observer either with football or anything else about what’s gotten worse.

Not that I suppose anyone really is. I’m not trying to label you as anything, I’m often trying to derive a point to your monologues which seem to me to be little else but bemoaning the loss of a state of affairs that I’m not sure ever truly existed to begin with.

That you and I have incredibly different ideals is simply a statement of fact.

0-0 HT. That was horrendous.
