United thread 2020/21

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Stockport and Oldham etc. are specific towns though, with a town centre.

Trafford is just a made up area with lines on a map that kind of trace the land the de Trafford family owned but it’s innacurate as a lot of that land extended into what is Manchester (Whalley Range and Moss Side, for example).

There’s no town or even a village called Trafford.

United should be called Stretford United because, while their ground is called Old Trafford, it’s not actually in Old Trafford (Old Trafford is further over on the other side of Chester Road), it’s in the Trafford Park industrial estate in Stretfrord.

Pisses me off that Manchester city Council entertains them if they win a cup with a parade. They contribute nothing financially to the council coffers

Don’t the council part own the airport? Lots of dough coming in from Scandinavia, Ireland etc

 

[remember arthur mann]

Correct. I was born and bred in OT, this side of Warwick Road on Skerton Road and went to Stretford Grammar not OT Grammar!

I meant the club directly does not contribute to MCC

Yeh I get you anyhow hopefully a long time before they have another parade as their rebuild moves onto a second decade.

I'm proud to be a Blue from bandit country, family roots on the Hulme, Moss Side border. For oldies, Bold Street, Pickford Street, Clifford Street in the early 50's me

This is why they won't win anything. Rashford, Martial, Pogba, probably others are all like this. They don't deserve anything, and nobody's fans deserve this level of effort.

This all day long.
Their first Sugar Daddy John H Davies copied the name Old Trafford from the cricket club for the stadium that he gave them.

There's a certain irony about tabloid newspapers, especially the Daily Mail, whining about social media channels not removing racist comments. These newspapers have allowed racist comments about our owner for years on their websites. They rarely remove them. The comments on Mailonline at the bottom of City stories are straight out of the sewer.

Case in point. Raheem Sterling.

Is Ferguson SERIOUSLY following United everywhere and travelling with the team? Even though he's high-risk? And not in the best of health either, didn't he have a brain haemorrhage fairly recently?

They went after him like a pack of Wolves when he had the temerity to leave one of their darlings to further his career (and save them from financial ruin).
When he called them out they shit themselves.

Ramos linked with the rags. Talk about a match made in heaven.

Lmao he tells slabby to mark the guy out wide which opens up the space inside and then stops chasing the guy with the ball, it's almost like he's playing for Sheffield.
