They're the luckiest, shittest most horrible team in world football.

Some of the bragging going on at the minute from the shit across the road is toe curling.

They're a good squad, likely top 4 in any top league other than the P/L - but their management is a total mess. Probably will finish outside of the top 4 this year in the P/L - and even if they manage to move past the group stage in the C/L, they won't be going much further.
 
Some United fans really are weird and so obsessed with our crowds....saying tonight that we were playing in an empty stadium....haha!. The fact that the crowd against a nothing opposition was 52,286 doesn't seem to matter to them...I guess it doesn't fit with their agenda.

That is what makes me cautious about Sunday. Just like that. Champions League final in 99.... Easily the worst team on the park and should have been buried. Yet won

We need to keep our focus for the full 100 minutes - the extra 10 minutes known as Taylor time in a forlorn attempt for the rags to get something out of the game even if it is a consolation goal.
 
To beat Juve away, who were yet to concede a goal, is some effort and typical Jose.
We will get chances and will have to take them. If we're not clear late on when they start lobbing it into the mixer, I would fear the worst.
Any success and it will be multiple lying on the floor, time wasting etc. to kill the game.
They appear to be having a go in the second half recently

Staggering these lot get paid for this. Some of the stuff they continue to peddle is embarrassing...

We’re run by a country, bottomless finances, United self financed, biggest club in the world, we have no youth, ageing squad...

Is there a derby coming up...

That’s funny why don’t they at least have a ganders at Wikipedia to do 5 mins research.

We aren’t the youngest team in the world fair point, but we are a young team.

Only a short step from being totally biased with opinions to actually believing your own lies.
The media has recognised this and actually tells them lies they want to hear so it must be true surely?
 
Like it or not Peg had this shower battling for him now, complete turnaround.
Sunday wont be easy , theyll up there performance again because it's a derby, if we aint on our metal .... it could be a bad day
 
Even before last night I thought some of the rhetoric on here was over the top. Did last year not teach us anything? I know we were shafted on the penalties but, like last night in Turin, we should have taken our chances and buried the game giving them no chance of coming back at us. Sunday, I have no doubts, will be the same, especially with Sir Anthony in charge.

Bury the barstewards by half time.

Did I dream this, I’m sure I read in this thread that Old Trafford was rebuilt/changed for the World Cup in 66.. and ... the bit that I’ve just remembered, said that it was paid for by the public/govt?

True or not?

And if true, anyone got a link for further perusal?

Wikipedia mentions £350000 with a source, but the source, presumably is a book, and the site doesn’t mention where the money came from.

Old Trafford was bult and paid for by 1st sugar daddy John Henry Davies and given as a gift to the club which didn't put a penny into the construction costs. That's a good one when rags start banging on about City having a free stadium. The trouble is they don't believe it even though it's on the rags' official website.

Post War their 2nd sugar daddy James Gibson lobbied hard among influential political friends to ensure that cost of rebuilding the stadium and removing all the rubble was paid for out of public funds and not a penny by the club.

The cantilever stand (now the GPC stand) was built in time for the 1966 World Cup and was at least partly paid for out of government grants. It was a waste of time for the World Cup games there (all 3 of which I went to) because although both ends behind the goals were packed the new cantilever stand and the main stand were sparsely populated.

Ok, thanks for replying

So that's
1 Stadium built by a Sugar Daddy.
1 Rebuild built by the public
1 Expansion built by public/private

A state backed club since 1945 then? :-)

Still would like to know the breakdown of the money input for the Expansion, anyone?

We did that in April and we got complacent in the second half, that winner they scored last night was horrific Wimbledon in the early 90s stuff, dump it in the box and play the percentages. Taylor will give them free kicks in areas where they can do us on set plays. I can see him managing the game to stop City getting any momentum going with nothing fouls here and there.
 
Actually found the Jose stuff pretty funny. It's been a long time since he's not taken himself so seriously, that club have rubbed off on him.
