Terrace Talk: Manchester United - Surrenders are becoming ever more tedious

Greetings, comrades, on this international workers’ day, from the horny-handed freelancer branch of the Soccerati Union.

Now this may be hard for you to believe, dear reader, but there are occasionally those who find fault with this column’s work. Even worse, some have the cheek to say so. “Bit too negative today, wasn’t it?” grumbled one so-called mate about last week’s special run-in preview column.

Well, I shall certainly be seeking him out today to waggle my backside in his face. Four dropped Premier League points later, and suddenly United’s supposedly irresistible charge into the Champions League may end up hanging by the thread of a Vigan whim.
