United thread 2017/18

I'm no fan of Man Yoo, in fact other than Spurs, I hate them the most but if there was one redeeming feature they had it was their tradition for flair and an attacking style of play. Devoid that under Mourinho, what's the point of them?

Unfortunately you're allowing yourself to be sucked in to the myth and hyperbole of utd previously being side full of flair and attacking intent, a myth generated and espoused by the rag loving sycophants that are the UK media.

Even during their most successful periods under the GPC utd were primarily about defending in numbers, constant pressing of the opposition not allowing them to play and then attacking on the break... it required a high level of discipline and work rate as well as ruthless efficiency at taking their chances (which is something they've always seemed to possess) but they were never a real flair or cavalier, all out attack, caution to the wind, type of side

Your dogs are laughing at the rags you’ve trained them well that’s impressive

Just made me think ... the rags are being trained to sit, stay, guard and then when there is a need to chase the game, it’s like throwing a ball for that same trained dog who just lifts his head as if to say, “what the fuck, what do I do with that’

Despite spending £150m on defenders since fergie left their first choice back 4 includes young, smalling, jones and valencia.

Of course the media will never mention this but love saying we got £100m worth of CBs on the bench.

Weren't Young and Valencia wingers when they were bought? Proof that the team is going backwards!

Also how the fuck are Young, Phil The Face, Rashford and Nick Nack Paddy Whack Lingard in the England squad?

Yes they were! True regression.

I really don’t know, they were red which plays a big role.

‘A team that’s losing in a final should throw the kitchen sink at their opponents’ said one of the raggy miseries on that video.
Got me thinking- if I were at Juventus I’d be on the phone to mr woowa to tell him they’ve got a kitchen sink they can have for £100 million.

Ooo I did enjoy yesterday. Very smug indeed.

They had a very big following long before the pisscan and the Premier League came along.

Over the years, I’ve come across many, who have said, I started supporting them because of Munich, or my mum/dad started supporting them because of Munich.

I was 8 when Munich happened and up till then I had never met a Rag in school ,neighbours ,family or any in the area of Wythenshawe I was growing up in. Munich did change everything for them.

Quite agree. I remember watching an interview before the 2008 CL final where 5 rags were involved; one from Scotland, one from the West Country and 3 from Malta!
The spokesman for the Maltese group said that he was the secretary of the Malta branch, and they had just celebrated their 50th anniversary. I wonder what had happened 50 years prior to start up the SC?
In the 60s/70s, when I went to every game it was amazing that when you talked to someone at, say, West Ham, they would say that they were in fact, "Maynchester Unoited suppowters". My next question was obvious "how long have you supported them?" with the reply invariably being "since Munich".
Since then, ALL forms of media have been solidly behind them ,as you could tell, apparently (as I didn't watch it) by the BBC's coverage of yesterday's final.

Absolutely true. Not the politically correct thing to say these days, but bang on the money.

Their empire building started in 58.

For the most part of their “istry” they didn’t have a pot to piss in prior to Munich, and were bailed out from the brink of oblivion thanks to the charity of their wealthy & more illustrious neighbours City on more than one occasion (pre Munich).

It’s also a fact that, though in monetary terms, Munich has played a massive roll in Utd’s continuing worldwide appeal, the survivors and the families of the deceased were, for the most part, treated appallingly by the club in subsequent years

Poor daft reds.... Funny as fuck

The gouger will be spending more than us this Summer (if allowed) the defence and midfield need to be strengthened. Looking at 2 fbs and 1 cb minimum plus DM.

I'm sure the press will constantly reference it next season when they do.

I wasn't familiar with that mug's work until I saw the video this morning. It made me laugh but concerned for the guy also. Think he needs to stop the comfort eating and take up a new hobby!

Andy Tate complaining about Jose not staying on the pitch and acknowledging the fans at the end..... there were no fans there to acknowledge you tool

"He needs to change his style? I know Mourinho's the man for the job". If Mourinho's the man for the job, you need to be prepared for boring, soulless football. That's his thing. They weren't fucking moaning last season with the trophies - bunch of wankers.

I'm glad I can genuinely say I don't have a single Rag as a mate. They're all cünts - every last one of them.

 

[malg]

Most of the United fans I know are till adamant Jose is the right man for the job...

He is, as long as you're happy with spending hundreds of millions on big, functional football players. Anyone with flair will have it beaten out of them. The football will be joyless. However, he will win trophies, and if that's what you want, then crack on.

 

[malg]

"I had the chance of getting a season ticket, but I turned it down" that says it all about their glory hunting, can never get a ticket, fan base. Complete twunt.

Then backs it up with I'm a huge red. What a wanker.

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

There’s a thread on rag cafe discussing the amount of empty seats were in the United end for a cup final. I thought the 650 million fans would have been all over going to a cup final. Why has this not been jumped all over by the press which they did when we still had tickets to the league cup to sell which eventually sold out.
