Sitting third in the league and through the group stage of the champions League. I'd have snapped your arm off for that at the start of the season. Imagine what we can do when we start playing well.
Conte | Spurs Manager

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I hope he does.
Just wish the rest of your fan base had the same feelings. They’re on their knees with Conte.
You've been very fortunate to date. I can't imagine you playing well, that's the issue. This European adventure is a good laugh, but it won't be carrying on much longer. You might get top 4 but it's a toss of the coin.
What makes you say that? I don't know a single spurs fan that doesn't want Conte to stay as manager.
It's great to see them continue to appoint these negative managers. Will only get them so far.
We need more players and as I've said before we are mid way through a total squad rebuild. This is a transitional season for us so basically anything we can get is a bonus as far as I'm concerned. If we can get top four it would be a great achievement. A few more transfer windows needed for us to genuinely have a shot at challenging.
Really? What is it with you guys? It took you ages to see it with Mourinho too.
Are you serious? Mate, you must have your head buried in the ground. Just go and read the last few match threads on spurs forum. You’ll do well to find anyone who wants him to stay.
Challenging for what? A league cup?
So negative we have scored 9 more goals than Utd in the league?
Personally, even though it would have been funny seeing Spurs being spurs and bottling it, I’m actually glad they’ve gone through. They clearly have no chance of winning it. As a Utd fan, we want them to be involved in tough games later in the season as we both challenge for too 4. Hoping they get to the quarters at least.
That's just not true at all. Not in the forum I frequent anyway. Anybody wanting Conte out is a fecking moron.
That’s an incredibly naive way to compare 2 teams being negative. You’re being an ostrich if you don’t see spurs are extremely negative.
Spurs game at old trafford was our easiest game of the season with over 25 shots on goal. I believe it’s the most by any team this season. Says it all really which team is negative.
Clearly I have been watching a very different Spurs to you. I guess we can only hope to play as fluently and proactively as Spurs. Aside from our recent 2-0 win over you of course.
I mean it is true. It’s quite easy to go and read it. It’s not really a matter of opinion.
I'm just pointing out that we are scoring a lot of goals which contradicts what you are saying about negativity. I know we need to improve and I believe we will buy it's going to take us bringing better players in to do it, particularly in defense.
Are you referring to the fighting cock? A lot of those guys aren't even spurs fans. It's honestly the worst football forum on the internet full of morons. Please do not think it is representative of spurs fans because it isn't. I'm in another very large spurs forum and I've not seen a single fan in there say they want Conte out. Many are frustrated with how we are playing, as am I at times, but the vast, vast majority want the Club to back Conte as we know he is the best manager we have had in decades.
But you’re not though. You’ve scored 8 goals in the last 6 premier league games with incredibly boring and negative tactics. It’s actually fascinating that you don’t see spurs playing “negative” football. But like I said, if spurs are happy with it that’s all that matters. Long May it continue.
So a spurs forum isn’t representative of spurs fans? They must be arsenal fans then.
I don't know how many times I need to say this but the fighting cock is an absolute shit hole of a forum and is well known for it. I can't go into it without wanting to throw my pc out the window within 2 mins
Balaks is brilliant really. The level of denial is astounding. Its like someone dying of cancer that cannot accept they have cancer.
Conte is playing absolute horseshit tactics. Horseshit. If it didnt work with Mourinho it wont work with Conte. Getting out of jail as well on a lot of occasions so far.

It’s actually fascinating to see so much hopium.
And if i recall correctly we were saying the same about mourinho and he was having none of it.
Well it looks like you’re delighted with Conte. Ironically, I and a lot of other Utd fans are too. I guess we’re all happy. If he gets a 5 year contract in the summer we can hold a party at redcafe to celebrate.
I mean we even gave them a heads up from the very first day he got appointed. But they were so excited about his appointment. It really drove home how rose tinted glasses can be when you drink a bottle of hopium.
Denial? I can see clearly we aren't playing well for much of the games recently but I also believe in the manager and also believe that with the right backing we can build a really good team. We have Kulusevski, Richarlison, Romero and probably now Son out injured. Despite this we are still third in the league and have just qualified from our champion's league group. I'm happy with that. I think that under the circumstances Conte is doing a good job but we are very far from the finished article.
You can say I'm in denial, delusional, etc if you want but I'm giving you my honest opinion. I don't think we have a very strong squad at all and if anything we are over achieving right now.
Sounds good to meWell it looks like you’re delighted with Conte. Ironically, I and a lot of other Utd fans are too. I guess we’re all happy. If he gets a 5 year contract in the summer we can hold a party at redcafe to celebrate.
Spurs best chance is a cup. No chance in the league. Might get a cup but even if they do it will be negative stuff with lots of luck.
Come on now. Kane and Son are the reason Spurs have scored more goals. It’s got feck all to do with how Conte sets Spurs up.
Leave @balaks alone you big bullies
Spurs best chance has always been a cup. It’s been the same for the last 30 odd years. They never win anything but it’s still their best “chance”.
Son has been utter shite this season.
I’d be surprised if Spurs fans want Conte to leave given their current position.
What they want is for Conte to loosen the reigns but they’re not understanding this is his way of managing upwards. He wants more of his own players and although they have spent it’s not enough.
They don’t have to play the way they do and he doesn’t do that when he has all the players he needs.

Perhaps but between them they’ve scored half of Spurs’ goals. Swap strikers and there’s no way on earth Spurs score more than United. You know it has nothing to do with tactics.
That's how I see it too.
The difference actually has been the significant improvement we have made in our set pieces this season.
That too. Which obviously also has nothing to do with how negative the manager is and is unlikely to be sustainable.
I know we are negative, I'm just pointing out that it is not stopping us scoring a lot of goals. I'm not an idiot and can see we need to play much better than we are. However I also understand why Conte is setting us up this way, he doesn't trust the defense at all and neither does the team. We need to replace Dier, Davies, Emerson, Sessegnon and Doherty with upgrades.
haha. You guys are doing fine, not tearing up the league or anything but fine.
