United thread 2018/19

[Colin Bells Boots]

Beat me to it.

At least they are consistent.

 

[big gaz]

Correct.

They put millions of pounds worth of it on the pitch every other week, and by the time of the next game, it has all disappeared, only to show up again just before kick-off!

Love it but shouldn't the o/p have typed " Clown Prince " ?

Brilliant article by the always excellent Marina Hyde:

What is brilliant about it?

The irony of a newspaper journalist criticising other papers for filling their pages with nonsense about a Man Utd takeover.

The Guardian likes to talk terrorists, dictators and human rights. How about a water system, housing and electricity in Iraq? Imagine in a country where temperatures reach 50 deg C in the Summer that water and electricity is rationed.

Wtf??? She’s stating that the story is either to steer away from the Saudis killing a journalist or to bump up the rags share price and that not one papers journalists could be arsed investigating to find out the original source as far as I can tell.

Is it me or are utd fans taking bullshit about witch hunt on Mourinho because of his swearing at their win the other night.

Rag I know is going full dipper about it. "Pep says something every week and doesn't get banned..."

Would like to have seen her doing a similar article on the story by Jamie Jackson that was all entirely in his head about Pep planning to "drop" aguero just before he scored a hat trick

maybe its because jose washes his dirty laundry in public and pep does not

jose loves nothing more than the limelight all on himself and when its going great he offers the media anything they want and the world is great, but when the shit hits the fans and the media turn on him its cannon fodder out of his mouth and anybody gets it, and the next thing the world is after him and blame game starts and its never his fault

So bottom line, he is a ****.

She's not really a 'journalist'. Doubt she's ever investigated anything. Just scans the headlines and pens an amusing take on them.

More like a cartoonist, really. If she could draw.

A literary cartoonist?

Been told by someone who works at utd former player, Jose will be gone by the end of the week.

Shame but looks like hes days are over.

That's on me, I've lazily used the word journalist for anyone who produces content for a newspaper even though she's a columnist. Does that make me a columnist-ist?

I like your analogy btw

 

[ultimateharold]

A good blast from the past, from Scholes, of Manchester. The last sentences are his lot now.

If the Saudis take over, will Maureen “disappear” without compensation?

Drowns in milk.
