A succession of crappy managers since the GPC retired, a succession of mediocre players, but an over-weaning sense of entitlement among the fans that no matter who runs the show, who kicks the ball, what the ex-Rag pundits say in the studio before a game, they are God's gift to football and should be awarded the points immediately after the warm up!

"The United way............not a United player..........." they do believe their own propaganda though clearly the interviewer Adam is recognising the truth over the past 5 or 6 years and what it means going forward in some of his questionning

Wonderful. They have some odd looking fans too lol. I actually thought Fellini was one of their better players.
 
There is no purpose or pattern to the way they play.

I'm genuinely startled that they are 2nd.

They got carried away by last season when they got extremely lucky. Southampton battered them in the league cup final but lost and they won a Europa league that was the poorest I ever remember. That allowed them a back door entry into the champions league that they weren't ready for and didn't deserve.

It has been interesting to watch them since Ferguson retired, as a club but more importantly a fan base. The rags attract a certain type of person who supports them. Showy, boastful they are in it the reflected glory winning brings. Some of them have grown up knowing only success and trophies. This created the spoilt kid syndrome. Always being given everything they wanted and if the kid next door got a bigger toy then straight away they would be bought a bigger one still. They could then still be the main kid in the playground and all was well in their world. Ferguson's noisy neighbour's quote summed this mindset up perfectly.

The last few years their little world has imploded and like all spoilt kids getting a dose of reality the tantrums and sense of outrage are a joy to behold. As a consequence all their principles and bullshit myths are going out of the window in their desperate attempts to still be cool and relevant. Trophies they once sneered at as being below them are now called titles. Playing football the right way? Forget that, hoof it long so long as they win!! Anything to be known as winners, the top team, glory glory Man United!! Their pain is wonderful to see and long may it continue, at least as long as that despicable fucking banner hung at the swamp!

Take a bow Sir.
 
I love the fact that the furthest they have gotten in the CL since the GPC left is when Moyes was in charge. Time to bring him back? I hear he might be available soon and I'm pretty sure his original contract has a couple of years left on it...
 
The rags are really in a shit or bust situation of their own making.

They need to decide what path to go down and they need to do so quickly or else they face a very tough future.

On one hand they can decide to stick with Peg, if they do he will want more money and will continue to play the turgid shite that has been served up all season, sure they may well pick up the odd cup but the players will start to turn on him as will the fans. Add to this that his time at the rags is following a familiar path that usually leads to him leaving after 3 years. If they go down this path and invest heavily in the side and he does fuck off then the next guy who comes in needs to have a similar approach to Peg.

Or they could decide to get rid of Peg and identify a manager who plays a more attacking style of play, by doing this a number of the existing playing staff would need to be offloaded and new more suitable players bought in. This would take time and substantial funds, given that they are responsible in a big way for the way transfer fees have escalated in recent years this would be quite funny. If they had any long term strategy then tis is what they should do.

There are some tough decisions to make at the swamp and it could all get very messy, I suspect we will see him being given another year but it will blow up in their faces.

But..but...but it's not the united way. The Chosen One. Cut from the same cloth. In the DNA. Not like other clubs.
