It’s modern society mate. People want everything NOW. There’s no way people can accept we’ve had a period of utter brilliance that might never be matched, but we’ve peaked and have lost major players/legends now and are going to lose more over the next season or so. We probably won’t challenge for the title seriously for a couple of seasons whilst we reset and will go through a change of new manager and players similar to Chelsea. I for one can accept this and am quite looking forward to seeing what happens without the constant stress of having to win every single game. I’m having to self isolate last and this week because of track and trace so I’m doing a lot of reading and internet surfing, and it’s utterly depressing. I’m going to have to stop reading blue moon as much as I find myself having arguments with utter dicks and spoilt brats. My kids are pretty grounded thankfully and my 16 year old actually said last night that he wishes he supported city in the 80’s as it looked like more fun. I tell him things were much more fun in the 80’s (probably because I was young haha) Your right about the poster going at it all night. There’s loads of them on here ranting about absolutely everything. I understand that most people are angry/frustrated/frightened atm as a result of everything that’s going on, but ffs people it’s just football, being played out in empty stadiums, at a time when it’s almost impossible to sign any foreign players, with players out with Covid rapidly increasing in a league that probably won’t finish, and if it sues won’t really count.

Great post. This is not the age of reason.
 
Great punditry after their game by Souness when he pointed out they should have had another 3 sent off. Evra didn’t add too much though, was beyond words, and asked on air if he could be taken off covering united’s games in future!

Respect

Youre very intolerant of a player who gave everything to the club and only couple of days ago you were defending to the hilt some brainless, faceless and careless shiny arse who couldn't even get the name of our new signing right.

I wasn't defending anybody, I said it was done on purpose. Re-read the post and you will see.
Micah comes across as a not very intelligent ex player who is just towing the line and repeating all the shite that the rest of the media spout, probably knowing that is the only way to get on. IMHO of course.

You don't come over as humble, Uriah.
 
"Classy Liverpool, run away champions from last year, besieged by injuries and absences put up thrilling fight against 2nd place Aston Villa"

I thoroughly expect that the "sky is falling" journos who revelled in our misery last week will be exactly the same this week.

Also, on the bbc, whichever fool is doing the text commentary wrote at 4-1 "I can't remember a team ripping through liverpool like this in ages" forgetting the fact that we destroyed them 4-0 just a couple of months ago.

(I will completely own up to potentially jinxing Liverpool to come back and beat them 6-5 now...I am sorry.)
 
From the athletic....

We’ve seen Manchester United lose 1-6 at Old Trafford during Ferguson’s era, of course. But that 2011 defeat to Manchester City was very different – three concessions in stoppage time, when United had been piling men forward in a desperate attempt to produce a typically unlikely comeback. The scoreboard said 1-6, but the performance was perhaps 1-3.


Hmmmm....anyone else remember the game as this?
 
News just in "Premier League to retrospectively rule out goals from deflections as it isn't fair on United & Liverpool"

It isn't true but even if it was - the game is the game and the score is the score.

Exactely as I remember it. Fergies home grown boys playing the Utd way for the love of the shirt.5-1 down trying desperately to score four goals in one minute.

Always remember 2-1 win that day would have meant at the end of the season out records would have been exactely the same. Points Gd goals for and against. Those extra goals in the 6-1 won us the league.

The 2011 game was also different because they were then champions and title contenders managed by Ferguson back then.

This time around you have a shit United side managed by a shit manager in a weird season where United also had close to no preseason.

What I remember was getting a phone call whilst being driven up the M1 by my ERO. As the game had just finished Mrs Ewing said to turn on the radio - I didn't listen to the commentary as I have a fear that if I watch or listen to a Rag game they will score - and ERO asked if I knew the score. I said that I had heard we were ahead at HT but I hadn't heard the score. YOU DON'T KNOW THE SCORE? No, I said. And then he started MANUre 1 - at which I interrupted and said "Oh, at least we got a draw'!

Nothing like the RDAHMeedya in 'revisionist' mode. An article next week probably will be telling us the the 1-6 and 7-2 yesterday were really 1-1 draws.
