Premiership 2014/2015

I see that Vito Mannone has come out and said the Sunderland players should pay for Sunderland fans to be reimbursed their travel and ticket costs. Not sure what I think of that, it would be a nice gesture from the players after Saturday, but its not a precedent that is sensible.

According to the BBC, it would cost them approx 450k. Even some of the Sunderland fans agree it sets a bad precedent and would rather see wages donated to their foundation ( or another charity ) which would be a better option.

Its the giving of money full stop I think its problematic. Everytime a team fails to live up to expectation, do they pay the fans? If Man U lose away to Burnley 1-0, is that sufficiently bad?

I agree, the 450k remark was just stating a fact.

Its the fact that they gave up trying though, rather than losing heavily.

Maybe the Sunderland players can ask the City of Newcastle to contribute seeing as though it was prime entertainment for them.

Maybe Manonne should cough the lot up himself.

After all he was the one who let in the goals.

The only surprise with the WBA goal is how long it took them to get it. They've dominated the first 10 minutes.

van gaal really looks like he still doesn't have a clue what formation he wants to play with the players he has available

hes went to another different setup tonight

[Aidan11]

For me it's simple - a couple of quality centre backs are needed. Not that anything can be done about that yet.

expecting to see hummels at either old Trafford or the emirates in January

Flicking between the footy and speedway. Can hear the latter even with my windows closed, surprising how loud those bikes are.

30 million for Shaw.

Southampton, well played

[Aidan11]

Possession 60/40 in Man Utd's favour. Not the first time this has been the case this season and not been able to make it count.

[rich1uk]

some finish from fellaini from that angle
