We’re playing at around 50%, same intensity as the pre season games against Boreham Wood. Pure training exercise on a joke of a pitch.
United on the other hand are treating it like a cup final, kicking everything in sight, Ten Haag is a fucking disgrace on the sideline screaming at the officials. Embarrassing c.unts.
Hold on rudders, we are playing almost our strongest starting 11 whilst they are mixing and matching - which manager is treating as must win then ? One bard says we are trying out new systems - where ? The front 3 played together numerous times last season, ramsdale is number 1 keeper, our center back pairing is first choice, and we have what many will claim is our starting midfield out there They kick us and we wilt - not kicking them back cos it is a friendly will not save us being kicked, so man the fcuk up and start snapping the c.nuts in half
I get the thinking that it is a pre-season games and our players should treat it as such, and if we were playing Barca or inter I would agree, but like it or not there is a belief out there that this team is weak and will collapse when pressure is on us, and turning other cheek here will only further that train of thought- this is another premier league team we are playing, and laying down a marker here will serve us well going into next season, but lying down crying about it being a friendly will not
Yeah we’ve a strong team out there Augie but rightly are not flying around the place on that sponge of a “pitch”. The manager treating it as a must win is the fucking dickhead screaming at the officials and looking like a complete wanker on the sideline in the process.
We’ll have training sessions played at more intensity than this, 2 howlers led to the goals so be it.
We absolutely should leave one in on those c.unts though, Fernandez and Martinez are absolute scum, please let both of them have their careers ended this season.

Who's lying down crying about it? Nobody! Are you even watching it?
