All we have to do is buy a newspaper. They are all going to the wall anyway.

The scum have the daily fail why can’t we have our own?

Solve this problem quickly.

 

[waspish]

Does it get anymore obvious once again from the Daily United?

The Daily United and their journalist/s rallying around Manchester United, Ole, the team, and the fans.

Just think about that. A national newspaper, without shame, openly supporting United, and willing them to beat City.

The “three bigs wins against Man City” says to me that the scum a plucky underdog who have spent nowt but Ole outsmarted Pep.

Wass’t one of those in the League Cup Semi final when they were knocked out.

I‘m glad we lost and went to Wembley than won and got fuck all.

Has anyone read the 12,000 word special report on CFG in the Athletic yet?

The City Football Group: a special report

We explain the vision, problems and why certain clubs are identified and what happens when CFG takes over

theathletic.co.uk

City Football Group. Part two - does it work?

CFG insist the success of their group should be judged over 20 to 50 years or even more, but the jury is still out

theathletic.co.uk

I know they've spent ages on it and interviewed a raft of interesting people, but I haven't found the time to sit down for probably an hour to read it yet.

They just released a companion podcast so if anyone's listened to that yet I'd be interested in hearing if it's worth it.

I've only read the 1st part so far. Boy the comments were bitter.

Then we'd all be told we can't be considered a big club until we win back to back Champions Leagues.

Without spending a penny like the ugly sisters in Red no doubt

Sweaty jock chewing a nest of wasps. What did you expect.

Think Ferguson's problem was he never took City seriously seeing not a Celtic, Rangers situation but Celtic and Patrick Thistle. He viewed Liverpool as his only real rivals and was actually hurt that in spite of all his achievements and trophies a good half of Manchester despised him. When they won the treble it must have pissed him off that their was as much celebration in the city over our third level promotion. When we started to win trophies he couldn't get out quickly enough, seeing the writing on the wall.

Think it's the joint best,might be wrong

Joint with Bayern they said on BEIN, but highest by an English Club.

Let's hope that City can totally ruin the Govan Bully's weekend then - there cannot be enough disappointments for that twat to endure .

If we do beat the Rags the post match will be all about Ole at the Wheel and his imminent departure , our heroic victory will be lost amongst all the Rag shite.

They can ignore the fact that we'll have picked up the 3 points as much as they want. But we'll still have picked up the 3 points. (hopefully ;-))

We also hold the record lowest points haul for an English club... 3pts

The reporter l met mentioned within 5 mins that he had had 'his arse in the air' on his father in law's carpet the night before so l thought he was a prick at the start.
Soon he was telling us how he had been in the Far East chasing a woman for a story about her affair with a minor government minister.
Then he told of his latest story about a child who had been grabbed by a monkey in a zoo and had lost her arm. This twat was boasted how he had sneaked out a pic of the little girl from her grandma's house.
Utter vermin. His parents were thoroughly decent. It was his paper that made him a twat

He sounds like the vermin gene was always in him tbf. He just found himself naturally attracted to a job where his inner gobshite would be an asset rather than a hindrance.
It might surprise everyone but there are a great many decent, diligent, honest, professional and ethical people working in the media. Usually in the background, mind you - unfortunately they are rarely if ever the people calling the shots, writing the cheques or building their own personal profile/brand.

 

[Ban-jani]

Just googled “Cavani” and it’s almost like it didn’t happen.

I don’t think it is racism but their reporting compared to Bernado is so obvious.

 

[LongsightM13]

You couldn't meet two nicer people than Matt Busby and Joe Mercer and I was lucky to meet them both as a youngster. Ferguson poisoned the well in Manchester, a city he never understood in my view.

Matt Busby was of course a former blue and a gentleman long before he rocked up there.
Ferguson was united and rangers, the living embodiment of establishment entitlement

Yes but who actually gives a fuck ?

Rangers f****d Ferguson off, he claims because he married a Catholic, bears I know say it's cause he was shite and not fit to wear the jersey.

But I have to admit he did a fantastic job at Aberdeen

He was a very mediocre footballer, my dad remembers him as a player

 

[LongsightM13]

But I have to admit he did a fantastic job at Aberdeen

He was great for Aberdeen and great for united. Cannot be disputed, he was a fantastic man manager.
But I’d argue he was bad for football.
The erosion of respect for and at times outright hostility towards referees and match officials, opposing teams and managers, international football, the FA Cup and indeed a friendly local rivalry all have his grubby, bitter, self interested greasy fingerprints all over them.
Panorama exposed the shady financial links between himself, his son, the blackmail of young players and financial kickbacks back to the Ferguson family empire.
His much threatened libel suit never materialised after united’s lawyers told him he was bang to rights.
Instead of being arrested and jailed for extortion the club decided to back his boycott of a media rights holder.
The craven premier league allowed him to do so for a decade.
The craven BBC then gave him an award in exchange for belatedly changing his stance.
He persuaded united’s lawyers to pressure a court of law into inexplicably bringing forward the pre-agreed adjournment of his other son’s sentencing hearing for volleying the mother of his grandchildren’s head around the driveway of Ferguson’s own home, so the full gory details of her ordeal and injuries wouldnt be reported in the media
It is glorious that united’s current troubles stem from the ego, personal avarice and greed of a self-righteous, self-proclaimed so-called socialist who demanded the financial benefits of jism milked form a horse he ‘owned’ as a basic bribe and never paid a penny for.
Don’t forget he took the Glaizer hush money.
So yeah, great for united, horrendous for humanity

Bravo, Sir. The entire family are terrible, terrible human beings. When Bacon face goes, I'll be gorging myself on jelly and ice cream.
