I can just imagine that chat now.

Fred asking why Fernandinho has stayed so long and keeps saying it crap. Don’t worry Fred, the winters not even come yet.
Unlike in the Ukraine you don’t get to go back to Brazil for a few months.
You get to play every three days.

I imagine Fred hates speaking to Fernandinho and hearing how ace it could have been..

I don't think Fred has to worry about playing 3 times a week tbh

In the pub last night, the chat was about who’d get in our side from theirs, and how few there were.

I was talking to two of the more balanced, I said I’d take Bravo over De Gea, one was dumbfounded, the other worryingly understood.
He could see that we defend by keeping the ball and De Gea chopping it on to midfield would be damaging to us.

Then when I said to the dumbfounded one, you need to judge De Gea on his Spanish form, how poor he was for Spain. He then actually started to get it.

De Gea is very good at reactionary saves, he’s piss poor at everything else.

You did very well last night. Down here in deepest Cheshire where normally along with scouse they can usually be found in significant numbers in any pub.....last night non to be found anywhere, not a single one. Watching them all scuttle off out of the pub as soon as City scored the third was brilliant. They are absolute fucksticks down here and it is easy pickings should you wish to get bites out of them.

Didn’t that clip end with Mata having a finger pointing session with Sterling... but on the goal line, there was a knackered Sanchez sitting on his haunches , clearly tired after his singularly touch of the match?

Or was it someone else?
 
The one thing that really reinforced just how little the rags are to us nowadays was that we were singing the Allez Allez song to wind up the scousers who are now more of a threat than the rags.
Years ago it would have been the rags singing about the dippers as we weren't a threat to them.
How the tide has turned ..it's a great time to be a blue.
The rags are shite..and overpaid shite at that.

The rags fans could also do with making uop their minds, IIRC they sang '20,000 empty seats' followed by 'where were you...' - surely they contradict each other?
 
I'm worried.
I remember Jose winning the league with Chelsea at Old Trafford and at the final whistle, not a sinner left in the ground.
The following day, McManus and Magnier sold United to the Glazier family, probably because they weren't really interested in football (horses is their game), and they felt that the writing was on the wall.
Just thinking, if I was in Joel Glazier's shoes now; 'to match City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal and try to get this lot back into the Champions league needs 1) a new manager (£12m), 2) probably 6-7 new players (£50m each), and 3) A whole change of structure to the management of the club (£ xm).
However, we have a £4bn offer on the table from the Saudi Royal family. Now where's my phone?'

if it’s true The Glazers have taken £1billion out of the club over their tenure I doubt they will be ready to let it go just yet, a few years of mid table mediocrity may change that, but will that also affect the value? Possibly

Not sure but if there is a clip like that out there I would love to see it.
 
Rag fan "I watch United because they are the best team in the world"
City Fan "But you haven't won the league in 6 years"

Just rewatched it on MoTD2.

It’s Sanchez.

Appears to go down on his haunches holding his ankle, but there doesn’t seem to be any contacts by Sterling, or Elbows.
Perhaps he was tired running around the Rondos
 
Manchester United have conceded 21 goals in their first 12 Premier League games. Only Fulham, Cardiff, Burnley, and Huddersfield have conceded more.

They cant defend and cant attack? Is there any aspect of football they are good at? I suppose they take nice kick offs after conceding and they do nice throw ins.
