United thread 2019/20

[manchester blue]

I love his interviews, it's almost as if he accepts average as the standard, then tries to justify it and believe it himself with that stupid fucking grin.

I was out with a couple last night. They thought the result v Wolves was good. How far they have slipped.

It was.

We were disappointed to only draw with them again though

 

[laserblue]

Don't forget a team including Corluka, Ball, Vassell, Hamann and Benjani beat them twice.

My point is, freak results happen.

That was the rags' bestest ever 2007-08 team as well.

Even more amazingly in 2004-05 when Chelsea were runaway winners of the PL with 95 points, City beat them 1-0 at home and drew 0-0 away. That season City were the only team to beat Chelsea, the only team not to be beaten by Chelsea and the only team not to concede a goal against Chelsea. This was the City side that was knocked out of the FA Cup by Oldham.

Eez football as a famous Italian once said.

Fair play to the 27 brave souls who missed the best last 22 minutes of football the Premier league has seen for a long long time,their sacrifice should not go unnoticed.

when 75% of your attendance are tourists, that was never going to happen. Same reason why they (and Liverpool) don't sing any spontaneous songs

I think this might be the most tragic thing I’ve ever seen.

Looks a much better atmosphere than inside the stadium.

 

[Vienna_70]

I've always thought that he only supports himself really, from the way he dumped them at short notice, whilst recommending his compatriot, they've never looked back haha.

It was hardly short notice.

It was at the end of the season, so it gave Uncle Malcolm and his boys all summer to appoint a successor.

And none of us knows when the pisscan told the Glazers. I still think that had Agüeroooooooooo! not happened, and the rags won the League in 11/12, he would have retired then.

 

[flook]

We can name a few City players that reach that target in 10 minutes.

perhaps not the "shots on target" stat though

 

[Vienna_70]

Did anyone else notice that the former next big thing, James Wilson, joined Salford City on deadline day?

Another in a very long line of heralded rag youths, who disappear without trace.

So crap even the former next best things' usual graveyard Sunderland didn't want him.

They’re completely fooling themselves on Fernandes. I watched about 60 mins of it and he is bang average, just your standard Spanish / Portuguese midfielder that’s good on the ball and in space. It’s amazing how far they’ve dropped that this guy and the fact he played with a bit of confidence and can pass a ball is heralded as some kind of potential genius.

He’ll be sold to Porto for £20m within two years.

Inter Milan have picked up the mantle from Sunderland for taking the rags failures. I’m sure he will enjoy that fantastic Italian food in Milan in a couple of seasons time.

Fair point.

Raz with his current lack of confidence would have had 6 off target.

Plenty of thought went into that,,

 

[Shirley]

I heard the original walkout was to be the 58th minute for reference to Munich but if it was the 68th minute it was obviously reference to City winning the league !

Or loaned out to Sunderland to gain confidence... .

Interesting where he used to work. Absolutely no bias involved I am sure. :-)

Munich plus Fergie time for old times sake maybe..?

A couple of Norwich scarves still being worn I see....
