United thread 2020/21

[Gazza]

Are you including the first class flight to Milan?

No, just his piano.

 

[aguero93:20]

Im still waiting on Pogba tearing Fernandinho a new asshole 5 years down the line you deluded cnut lol

I remember he came out with that and Fernando pocketed the fucker effortlessly in the first derby that season, leaving Dinho to run riot.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

But that's not including the comedy loan fees and wages they've paid to the likes of Sanchez, Ibrahimovic, Cavani........

Don't forget Falcao and breaking the transfer record for Di Maria!!

Im fairly sure Fernando had left by then. It was the Derby we should’ve won 4/5 nil but for Bravo’s brain fart

Slipped my mind. I don’t remember him at all in that match lol

I remember the first thing he did was absolutely flatten Pogba shoulder to shoulder when he started trying to showboat. Got a big a cheer as our goals did from me.

 

[Blueknows]

Someone on here last week said they have spent more than us since the Piss tank left.

Nothing else needs to be said.

FACT

 

[Blueknows]

In the last ten years we have spent 80 million more than them net spending, which is unreal when you think of the trophies we have won in that time frame.
They, United, have wasted the most money, that's for sure, and not much to show for either. Ed is doing a great job, keep it up!!!

just tell them they have spent 1.2 billion since last winning the league

 

[SWPISHOME]

It shows how fucking stupid that lot fans are...The cheek and audacity to comment on what Manchester City spend.
Honestly they are weird weird six fingered cunts.
Can't wait to give them a spanking Sunday week!!

Shit Thursday night bastards.

Well let's not forget about the piano, lol

"£350m bench today"

"Well the league Cup isn't even a competition anymore. They have single handedly nullified the competitiveness of one of English footballs domestic cups."

"League is dead. League Cup is dead. English football unrecognisable"

"What manager could reliably hit 95+ pts every season with any club other than City? Because that's what competing takes now"

"Imagine being able to rest your 55m centre half for another 55m centre half in a champions league knockout game. As well as many other examples of high end like for like.

This is the time of year normal clubs find difficult rotating through. I think people underestimate just how much of a difference this is for city its absolutely ridiculous"

"It's a comedy league. Comparing it to the years of Ferguson vs wenger is like comparing wrestling to boxings prime years.

18 straight wins without even being at their best"

"310m on the city bench tonight. Useful when 5 subs. I expect Borussias years long revival is about to meet an abrupt end"

"Expect another symbolically sad game tonight as a classic club and real 'sleeping giant' has really done it the hard way to get back to the CL. Only they will almost certainly be brushed aside by a team that was in England's lower leagues not long ago."

"Bye bye moenchengladbach, nice effort at rebuilding for years, but city did a better job for some reason"

Lmao

Haha brilliant. There’s only about a £60m transfer spend difference between City and United since Ferguson left them.

What the fuck have they done with that money?

They paid Pogba’s agent more in the Pogba transfer than City paid for the entire transfer fee for the Premier League’s best player this season (Raiola coined in an initial £23m in the Pogba transfer and Gundogan cost City £20m!).

Instead of spending £89m for Pogba (plus upwards of £41m over the period of the contract to Raiola) and £80m for Maguire... that’s £210m for two players!.. they could have signed four players for the same price like we do!

They’d have a strong bench n’all if they could keep hold of players they spent hundreds of millions on: Di Maria, Sanchez, Zaha, Depay, Mkhitaryan, Lukaku, Blind, Herrera...

There’s no reason all of those players couldn’t be part of that United squad now, some of them are still young enough to have had five good years there in their prime. Some of those players have been brilliant for their new clubs since leaving United.

Difference between us and them is that we’ve brought in a manager who knows how to rotate, knows how to play different tactics depending on who needs to come in for different games. Whereas they’re a sacking club now (remember when they maintained they never have been and never will be?!) and don’t understand how to build players into a squad that rotates and keeps everyone happy.

For almost the same money spent, they are poorly run and we aren’t!

 

[alexmcity]

Ask United fans, what's the equivalent in today's market of the fees they paid for Rooney and Ferdinand? Fees in the region of 25-30m back then, in the early 00's, were astronomical, roughly about 130m today. If you find that hard to believe, remember that Sigurdson cost Everton 45m several years ago and Rooney was on a completely different level in terms of stature and quality compared to Sigurdson or Richarlison. So, Rooney and Ferdinand alone cost them in today's money about 250 fucking millions. Their squad around 2009 was more expensive than Pep's if you adjust prices for inflation in football.

Difference between us and them is that we’ve built our players into a squad that rotates and everyone is happy; whereas all they’ve done is piss everyone off and had to sell them because none of them want to stay because they’re so poorly run. There’s no reason all of those players couldn’t be part of that United squad now, some of them are still young enough to have had five good years there in their prime.

That’s absolutely spot on - the turnover of players touted as ‘the next big thing’, is one of many reasons we have ‘2 players for every position’ and they (remember 20 years of money dominance) have just about 1 player per position.

Arnold works fine for me mate.

Yes, that's the convention for normal folks even those with treble barrelled names.
He makes me think of the singer Arthur Alexander and there is no comparison.

“In 2002, Sir Alex Ferguson identified Leeds United’s 23-year-old Rio Ferdinand as the man around whom to build a team which could challenge at the top for a decade. He was right: with six Premier League titles and a Champions League victory, he proved himself more than worth his British record £41.4 million fee – worth £159 million today.”

This was the best one though;
“The same winter that Liverpool sold Fernando Torres, they replaced him – spending £36.9 million on a young Andy Carroll: £102 million today. The 6ft 4in striker had helped Newcastle United to promotion to the top flight, then scored 11 in 19 Premier League games in the first half of the season.” Hahaha

So next weekend is the derby, the match I want to win more than any other game. It doesn't matter the context of the season: beating United during the match and in the league table is always the most important thing to me, everything else is secondary.

I've mentioned before about how some city fans on here have very short memories and seem to think that Liverpool are now our big rivals, and that Liverpool's fans are the worst. Nonsense. I'm old enough to still bear the scars of going through my entire school life surrounded by gloating Rags; never being able to celebrate even once beating them in all my time at school. I was in sixth form when we beat them in 2003! And the next eight or so years weren't pretty either (thank fuck for Pep at Barca as they could easily have added another two CL's in that time).

The United fans are the worst fans, and will always be the worst. That's because their football club is the most vulgar and arrogant club in the country. The fans follow the club, and are a reflection on its conduct.

The only reason some city fans have forgotten how bad the rags are, is because we've put them in their fucking box well and truly in the last decade or so. Certainly post-Fergie. We've given them literal scraps of things to be happy about whilst they have wallowed in a timeline that, if you could go to 2008 and informed a Rag about, they wouldn't possibly have believed you.

But their fans' masks have slipped at time, especially this season. Lots of them crawling out of the woodwork, all over the place. You know the type because every single one of you reading this post will have encountered dozens, hundreds maybe thousands of such rags during your lifetime. The slip of the mask when United were doing well at times this season was a very useful reminder for how horrible a lot their fanbase are.

And one day the roles will reverse again. It might not seem possible to us right now as we look down from our 13 point pedestal, but one day Pep will leave, a manager will come in who isn't quite as strong and United will sort their shit out and put a sustained run together over several seasons. They will win the league again, and we need to mentally prepare for that as fans.

Because the day when the rags crawl out of the woodwork, the day when I don't want to go to work on Monday to face the Rags, I want to be able to look back and know deep-down that in the good days (no, the GREAT days) that I made the most of it. That I celebrated the amazing position that our football club is in and the unprecedented standard of football on display. I have not let myself down by stooping to the levels of the Rags fans in their glory days. I know they are scumbags (some excepted), but I don't allow myself to become one in return, even in the moment now at the panicle of our power. I will hold my head up high in this possible future and know that I was there (COVID excepted) to see my team win each and every trophy that I never thought possible when I was getting the shit ripped out of me yet again by the scumbag rags at school. And that I conducted myself well, and that no one can take that away from me.

If ever you see a blue saying Liverpool are our main rivals, or that Liverpool fans are the worst, it is your job to challenge them and put them straight. It is your job to refer back to the Fergie days and give a lesson on who truly are the worst fans, the most vulgar corporation and why they deserve nothing but our eternal contempt.

I don't want us to just beat United, I want us to humiliate them. I want us to completely outplay and outclass them from start to finish. If we win 5-0 I will still be disappointed it's not 6-0. And if it's 6-0, I'll demand 7-0. Let's hope that this time next Sunday we have yet another incredible performance to put in the memory banks to cherish and look back upon when the wheel has turned 180 and we're instead looking up instead of down.
