Pigeonio's revenge!! Sweet.

 

[its grim up north]

And when all else fails just lump it to nobody in particular.

And blame it on Shaw!

Q

I just want to note that the rumored new Utd kit seems oddly appropriate as they are going to black shorts and a near 1/3rd black shirt with gradated stripes . . . so visually it will appear that their players are being subsumed by darkness, or being sucked into a black hole (named Mourinho).

quite fitting for a team in the shadows

United players who might fit our side - would *consider* Mata (doesn't seem to put in enough effort on defense), Pogba (primadonna, inconsistent, doesn't try on defense), Matic (probably would fit in)... other than that... either not enough talent or doesn't fit our system (e.g., doesn't fit - De Gea - terrible distribution under pressure).

I wouldn’t touch any of those you mentioned with a barge pole.

Mata is past it (30j) and not in the same class as Merlin nor KdB. Far better to invest in a much younger player or give Foden and Diaz a chance to stake a claim. Matić will be 30 in August and nowhere near Dinho's level, who is 33. As for Carlton, the less said the better. No football brain, misplaces too many passes and doesn’t apply himself enough to be effective in pep’s system.

As others have said, Whatshisname might be worth considering on a free transfer if he lets his contract run down, but not Rashford. Another one with no football brain. Yes, he knows where the goal is but his dribbling is terrible.

What are the chances of this happening? I’ve only been shat on twice in my life, and that was because both times I was walking through my school playground were shit loads of seagulls scavanged for food. A bird shitting, it landing in your open mouth and a tv camera focusing on you just at the right time is fucking unlucky.

The bird apparently agreed with the referee.

I believe it was a fowl. He went down and got the free kick.

We're all Rags now! I make a point of watching MANUre highlights when their boys take a beating, but The Eye this week highlights the statistical basis on which the 649m were accumulated. Someone from UWS asked the MANUre CE how accurate the figure was. He replied that it would probably be increased since the first interpolation in 2011. Anyone watching a Rag game, or talking about them (every fucker on this thread, then!) is included as a Rag. I'm off to hang my head in shame! I'm not gonna top myself, I've a seat among the FOCs in CBL3 with one game left!

what would you do if a bird shits in your mouth Ashley?

I’d probably marry her ...

I suppose it depends on what you’re in too ;)

From Private Eye, about United's claim of having 659m supporters worldwide:

 

[Airbags Optional]

Rashford..?? He's average at best.

Martial, I really think he could be a great player with the right coach

From Private Eye, about United's claim of having 659m supporters worldwide:

I've always found the numbers that watch their games on tv a little misleading as I'de imagine most would be tuning in to see them lose.

We get similar numbers yet have far lower worldwide support.

From Private Eye, about United's claim of having 659m supporters worldwide:

I've been telling rags for years that this claim was made up on the back of complete bullshit and if I'd been polled I would have been classed as a 'follower' too but they reject that on the grounds of me being just bitter. One additional fact is that Kantar submitted their 'findings' of 659 million followers and the club immediately changed the word 'followers' to 'fans' before telling the world. No surprise there from the Ministry of Truth.

The UK stock exchange would never have allowed the lie in a prospectus, which I believe was one reason they went to the US to float.

What the Rags Don't realise, poor lambs, is the fact that they're the most hated team on the planet. So if they're factoring in all the haters into their support bank, It's no fucking wonder there's so many of them.
