United Thread - 2021/22

It's only 2 months since they were dead certs to win the league. City have come from behind and done it in recent years so I'm sure that this lot under Ralph Knick-knack will be back in the leading pack in no time. He's a football-management genius, you know. THE Professor of Tactics. He's studied at Warnock University and the Allardice Academy. That's why everyone knows about him (except you - you dummy!).
He actually invented not just football - he invented the ball. He's really great. I, for one, can't wait to see the change of style he's going to bring to the club.
Ralph at the wheel, filmed in "Overkill" coming to your screens on Sunday. Get ready for that sweet, sweet sound as he drives the bus up the Warwick Road.........
Parp parp!

"Professor of Tactics", "Godfather of the Gegenpress"
Anymore superlatives left ?

I only watched bits of it tbh, but Arsenal went ahead early on and then Freddie Mercury equalised just before HT.
Ronald O'**** scored a tap-in and the commentary team jizzed their pants 'cause it was the best tap in ever.
Two minutes later Arsenal equalised.
I laughed.
Later on Fred dived in the area under minimal contact, it was probably a foul but the ref didn't give it.
About a minute later the ref was told to have another look, so he stopped play and had a look.
Ref decided that Ronald O'**** should have a penalty.
He scored and commentators jizzed themselves again.
It was, apparently, the best penalty ever.
Earlier on Capt. Fantastic had dragged an opposition player down in the box (like he does every time he plays) and VAR didn't tell the ref to look at.

You know, the usual rag shit, nowt out of the ordinary.

Didn't see the game but loved your summary of it.
Brilliant.
I shall now go and watch the highlights..

Why did you censor the "flowery" language in my post? :)

All allegiances aside, 800 goals is insane. I hold back too much, but fair fucks to that.

12 goals in 16 appearances this season including a few match winning ones.

Arsenal's first goal is 100% a goal, no case for the Rags to be moaning, nor is there any 'injustice'. You don't straight up go down hoping for the ref to bail you out when play is so dangerously close.

If the ref had chalk that goal off, that would be real injustice. Would've set a terrible precedent where keepers can just go down pretending to be injured, and every goal that goes in after will have the potential to be cancelled. Like what's the point of having defenders/keepers then? Just stick someone there and have them catch a cramp each time the oppositions shoot.

Just seems to me like De Gea is used to the ref being on their side all the time, and thinking this time will be the same, shite mentality. Makes it even more hilarious if he learns Fred's the one who stamped him.

Overall, both teams were shite. Rags overall maybe just a tad inch better, if I'm being fair, but still shite. Far from a classic, looked like two bottom-half sides trying to play 'fancy football'.

The difference between Arsenal and United wasn't just Ronaldo. It was also that united can actually pass the ball (except Fred obviously) and Arsenal can't. Arsenal looked like 11 individuals with no game plan. They out united united.

Jizzing themselves on Talkshite this morning!! Have they won the World Cup? Best penalty ever apparently!

 

[Bantamgaz]

They beat Arsenal the same Arsenal that get smashed up when they face anyone decent ............ both teams miles away from getting anywhere near the title ........... bring in who they want but all that’s gonna happen is that they will beat teams they should be beating but when it’s come to the top 3 they will get spanked ............

The scum will be putting a Statue of Ronny at this rate they way they talking is like he score the 800 goals all at the scum.

Liverpool put 4 past them with not much of a fight and City put 5 past them. They are not Barcelona 2009.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Arsenal were shit and as much as the co-commentators Ally McCoist and Peter Drury screeched otherwise, United were shit too.

Two poor teams

The co-commentators were a fucking embarrassment

Better than BT.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

That’s a very accurate summary of the majority of their games for many many years.

The names may change, but the song remains the same...

 

[Protein Junkie]

I fucking hate them. With every fibre of my body.

I just need to remind myself in a public forum of this occasionally.

Nowt wrong with that Ted.

united players are bad enough for diving and feigning injury whenever an opposition player goes anywhere near them, to now start diving and feigning injuries when their own team mates go anywhere hear them really is a new low for the scummy, cheating pricks.

No need. He performs the statue role well in most games.

 

[babyape]

Seems a lot of them suddenly remember they support United again after a few months without saying a word. Strange eh. Up to the dizzy heights of *checks SkySports site*, oh, 7th.

 

[ancoats]

was going to watch the united game on amazon until i seen the pre-match headlines of ronaldo just needs one goal for 800 goals. knew what was coming and changed my mind. you just knew it was going to be the ronaldo show ?
its so bent and fake and somebody is writing the script

i just watch the highlights and arsenal first goal was being review for so long by VAR to find a way of not giving it
even DDG faked injury by fred who tripped him

its now game on and the officials and VAR are going to open the flood gates and get united back into the top 4

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Are they back now (again)?

They are an embarrassment with this diving, did you note Penandez diving in his own penalty area, fortunately the Arse were awarded a free kick for incident just before.

Fred manipulating a situation to get fouled in the box, a billion pound spent and that is your tactic, beyond belief.

Sadly this is the fairy tale scenario for the PL 'brand'. The classic Phoenix from the Flames story. They will sell billions in advertising if they can get the Rag's back in the mix.
