Awful result for us against Spurs going down 3-0 at home although we were down to 10 men.

That is already 2 home defeats this season.

Brentford have scored goals in the first minute of the game 3 times in a row

I believe this might be a record.

That’s right GVGjr. Could be a record that would have to be checked.

Yeah not a great start jeemak. We for a long time under Fergie were spoiled in the 90 and 2000s and had great success. Liverpool similar in the 70s and 80s.

From reading the history we weren’t great in the 70s and but better in the 80s winning FA Cups.

Tough away trip coming up for us against Aston Villa. It’s this type of game we need to win on the road to get some spark but not confident we will based on how we have gone so far.

As a United fan we are great rivals with Liverpool but I have some certain amount of respect for what they have achieved over recent years with Jurgen Klopp and the same for Arsenal much more than Man City.

It's probably a good reminder to enjoy the dominance while it lasts mate, and along the way outside of that just enjoy following a team, getting into it and taking the highs with the lows.

Expectations are the worst things a football supporter of any code can carry. They ruin the enjoyment of the game. So much has to go right for them to be fulfilled.

Brentford took 2 minutes this morning to get their first goal. They're quick out of the blocks.

Antony Gordon's penalty attempt was so pedestrian, I could have saved it from my couch.

We need our nines back badly.

Four games in a row with early goals. 3 in the first minute and one in the 2nd.

Against his old mob and English team mate.
Pickford seemed to know exactly where it was going.

How much pressure is on Ange at the moment?
He's always been a bit salty in his pressers but is the pressure cooker of a high profile side not quite hitting their expectations something that he can manage? I know its really early in the season but he just seems to need a couple of wins to ease some of the pressure.

Heap of pressure. Sadly for Ange he seems to have one style of football and in the EPL you get found out pretty if you can't adapt.
