United thread 2019/20

[Ric]

When the reports of Ferguson going to his office at half time for stiff drink came out, I did wonder if Ole refuses to park in his old space, he's probably left Ferguson's office exactly like he left it and is working out of a broom closet next door hasn't he?

The best thing about this quote is that despite it being so, so much worse than what Moyes said about them trying to reach our level, the fans won't make 10% of the fuss they made about that comment, because they've fallen so far in the intervening 6 years.

True, don’t think it’s even been mentioned on Red Cafe from what I can see. The fact he effectively stood up for the Glazers and Woodward is the icing on the cake. A company man until the bitter end.

This is the funniest thing I've ever heard him say

One just shakes one's head.

Hilarious. Think that’s almost as damning as that Moyes quote about them aspiring to play like us.

I honestly think this is worse. The Moyes thing was bad but at the end of the day he was just bluntly speaking the truth.

Ole here is insinuating that he's gagging for little old City's respect, and that he somehow found it in a team sheet that included Claudio Bravo and no strikers lol. The strength of that team was no different to the strength of the team we played against Burton last season and he's bragging about it.

It won't get anywhere near the amount of mainstream coverage that the Moyes thing got though, cos all of his mates in the media wouldn't dare say a word. Neville would lose his mind if it was anyone else at the club saying that.

That's like us under Hughes

Well we got draws....

Strongest team haha we started the game without a recognised striker.

 

[Dirty Harry]

You know you're going to the fucking Job Centre Ole.

That was exactly what I thought, really did sound like a man who's under a lot of pressure and knows it's close, next stop, the dreaded "vote of confidence" ?

and a holding midfielder playing centre half alongside our 3rd choice centre back.

A company will always get loyalty from someone who is under qualified but over promoted - Woodward is not stupid

The swagger is back baby!

The United way.

Spend another £60mill on another player.

Fernandes is only 25, so expect him to be eventually shoehorned into the ‘United Kids’ category at some point.

I take it if Maguire had been fit, Ole wouldn’t have played him? ;-)

Shite Fergie mind games from Ole.

Yep young enough to have come through their academy.

I'm waiting for his ''I've been a Rag ever since I was on the teat'' statement.

 

[jrb]

Or.

I had a chance to sign for City, but I turned them down waiting for United, and instead they singed Bernardo Silva. ;-)

Snubbed by Van Der Beek.

Ah, but they still have Beaker!

Fact of the day

Bernardo silva has scored more goals in his last 2 games at Old Trafford than Jesse lingard has in the last 2 seasons
