We’re a weird and fickle bunch aren’t we? and by ‘we’, I don’t mean ‘us’, I mean ‘you lot’, not ‘me’. The point I was making in my pre-match thing-me-bob rang true. Fans want everything, all the time and they’re not happy unless they’ve got it, unless they win in the last minute. When they’ve got it, they don’t appreciate it. I’m not suggesting we’re playing brilliantly, but there wasn’t really an awful lot wrong...

We’re inviting some of our Twitter friends, and now resident thought sharer Iwan Lehnert, to share some of their ‘Pre and Post Match’ thoughts with us from now on. You can still enjoy my nonsensical, confusing punctuation buffets below their proper good ones… Iwan (@IwanLehnert): Ergh. Festive period, over. Work period, re-commenced. But how good was that holiday season for United? I don’t think we could’ve asked for any more, reasonably. Great results, good performances,...

Last of the bullet point reviews, and copy and paste previews: normal service will resume after this … Oi! Who groaned?! I love RVP. I love Chicha. Our defence is best, when the best defence is picked (including De Gea). Ashley Young is overdue a real stinker. MOTM: Rafael.

Sticking with the bullet point theme: Good result. What? Yes, that’s it. MOTM: RVP. Just because.

With limited time over Christmas, there’s absolutely no chance of covering everything, so let me hit yer with some bullet points… The second goal for them is offside. I love Fergie. I love football. MOTM: Carrick.

In defence of our defence, we’re having to try and bring in previously injured players for understandable reasons, when we’re already defensively unsettled, so it’s hardly surprising we’re finding it difficult to establish some consistency. You could argue it was our attack at fault more though, and that would be, well, right. Personally, I see it as no more than an off day for all concerned. Swansea are good, so let’s not beat ourselves up too much –...

(Bit of a kop out but I’m copying and pasting the same thoughts for the next few games. If anyone I mention gets injured or suspended I’ll get my just desserts) Christmas takes over for me in these coming weeks – I love the festive fixture chaos, but I won’t be paying as much attention as I perhaps might *Gasp!- release the hounds on me!!* As I’ve said, I think we’ll take our foot off...

We’re inviting some of our Twitter friends, and now resident thought sharer Iwan Lenhert, to share some of their ‘Pre and Post Match’ thoughts with us from now on. You can still enjoy my nonsensical, confusing punctuation buffets below their proper good ones… Iwan (@IwanLehnert): If there was one thing that had me mightily worried for our club’s future post-SAF last season, it was the lack of fight. Last season against Newcastle United almost exactly...

We’re inviting some of our Twitter friends, and now resident thought sharer Iwan Lenhert, to share some of their ‘Pre and Post Match’ thoughts with us from now on. You can still enjoy my nonsensical, confusing punctuation buffets below their proper good ones… Iwan (@IwanLehnert): It’s not that I take some form of sick pleasure in predicting results that are detrimental to United’s progress correctly, but I called that one. Yes, I clearly need the...

I asked Paul (@UtdRantcast) if he would like to collaborate on a Christmas song, with him providing the vocals, and me providing a film for it. I didn’t expect him to come up with something quite like this #Christmasmiracle (no offence Paul)…    MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
