I think Swansea are showing a lot of the people backing us to be relegated that we're a bit better than they though, still a couple of signing to come in as well.:D
These pre-season predictions are beginning to look just a little bit ridiculous now.
It was always naive to believe that Van Gaal, in his first season, would be able to turn things around single handedly. Of course, this may be a wake up call for them, and they'll get the chequebook out, but if they don't add to this squad, they won't be challenging top 4, let alone the title.
Well, perhaps it's a tad premature to say that, but when you consider that some were actually tipping United to WIN the title, the performance was just worrying.
Perhaps they'll improve significantly, but it doesn't look like a promising bit of foreshadowing.
Man U bla bla bla Man U bla bla bla well done Swansea...
It is frustrating when your team achieves a fantastic win yet the post match punditry is 99% about Man U. I am used to it by now but still it's a bit rubbish!
Yep, good idea to have these threads from now on I think. Some of the club fans can be rather....erm... precious towards the mildest hint of criticism in the main supporter threads.
I thought Man Utd were okay considering the players on show. On a different day probably would have got a draw out of the game. Swansea are always pretty sharp on the counter so no great surprises to see them cause problems to ManU.
So nothing much learnt from this match. Until LvG starts to actually build the team he wants, it'll be bits and pieces performance-wise I feel. They'll improve as the season goes on, either way.

No.
Reasoned debate from opposition fans is absolutely fine, it's when people go in trolling and looking to wind people up that problems arise. The United thread now is an example.
Yet for some reason that's allowed yet people get banned for correcting spelling and grammar (one of the forum T&C's) and defending themselves against accusations of bullying.

No.
I've also seen endless examples of fans being way too defensive and sulky as well over the last few years in those threads. It works both ways.

They do this with all the big clubs though - they get an ex-player as a commetator which leads to bias.
Yeah, Sky in particular is like Liverpool tv most of the time.
Maybe equalise for 2-2 but no way 3-2.
yeah thanks for that!
Better late than never
Well played Swansea.

As a Liverpool fan, I can only hope
After one game?
Why would it?
Completely agree, less polluting of the supporters threads then.

Because they were the underdogs.
