Short version: after yesterday's game, fans were shouting, "AFTV, we want you out of our club". To add, it got so bad, Police had to intervene and protect Robbie...
One was a massive GK error! I did make sure to message my MU supporting friend!
Always a good day when the “special one” gets a loss

And until quite recently, De Gea would have been seen as one of the best goal-keepers on the planet.

I concur.
Add to that the fact that Chelsea were playing away from home, while Spurs (down to ten men by the end) were at home, and the achievement becomes even more pronounced.
The Watford win demonstrates Man Utd's reliance on counterattacking...against Watford, there are few opportunities for a counterattack, and thus far Man Utd have not been able to put together a good plan B for such circumstances.
AFTV loves a good froth-at-the-mouth rant - until they become the target of the rant, at which point AFTV brands the ranters "thugs."
Hmm.
Live by the sword, die by the sword, I suppose.

Are you sure it’s not on NBCSN gold? That seems to be where they generally put all the “extra” games.
It’s not like my lot will be on anytime soon!Oh, that’s cold!

I aim to please!
It remains to be seen whether Mikel Arteta has managed to light any kind of a fire (at half-time) under my underwhelming lot.
The match was on NBC Sports Gold.

Chelsea just lost 2-0 to Southhampton, not a good Boxing Day for them.
An emphatic victory for Manchester United.

Well ok then Liverpool, calm down. I’m pretty sure the title race is over, unless they somehow stop winning in 2020 😅.
This is an exceptionally emphatic victory; Leicester lie second in the table, and Liverpool has demonstrated the gulf in class, ability, appetite and skill between themselves and the teams pursuing them.
And Liverpool are winning from the front - as Manchester City did two seasons ago; this is a lot harder, as it means that you must stain that standard throughout an entire season.
