You think we're bad at corners......

Is that corners taken or corners turned ?

How did Ronnie play yesterday ; )

 

[remember arthur mann]

ratface an utter disgrace again, constantly pushing players in the back, snide fouls, and perpetual diving, not to mention kicking out at Luiz and feigning a broken leg before getting up to score. A type of player this league could do without.

Anyone else listen to that numpty rag on 606 last night saying that he’s looking for another team to support? Haha

 

[Paladin]

Lol aye, I think that too. Pep at Barca brought in the possession and pressing style (along with influence from German football too) and United never recovered. If we were still playing 90s era PL football they might still be relevant and winning things. No wonder they hate Pep ha.

Remember the 2009 final? Before the game, Barca weren't established as the all-time great team they were thought of by the time of the 2011 final yet, and everyone was predicting United to win easily. When the game started other than a quick ten minutes out of the blocks, after that United's donkeys looked absolutely clueless how to stop Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and Messi running rings round them. They were shellshocked.

I still get a good laugh at how 'Greatest Manager of All Time' Alex Ferguson's tactical masterclass to stop Barca in 2011 was emptying the midfield (which only had old man Giggs and Carrick against Barca's three and Messi dropping from a false 9 position) to accommodate a useless poacher in Hernandez, the likes of one-dimensional striker Barca had been dealing with with ease all season. Of course Cuntarito was absolutely invisible and United got absolutely annihilated. The greatest manager of all time, folks! FFS I am not even a professional manager and even I burst out laughing when I seen the team he picked. They'd have lost either way but Ferguson made it soooo easy for Barcelona. Idiot.

I think I've worked out what Pep's account on here is.

New thread on the Caf…Rome wasn’t built in a day.
So does this mean not in my lifetime lol

Would that be the same Roman Empire that crumbled to a pile of smouldering ruins, brought down by its own sense of invincibility and hubris?

Ragnick, a glorified snake oil salesman.

Recalling looking forward to the derby. They were on to something when Ole played counter attacking football against us. But trying to play the press against us will play right into our hands.

It will be funny as fuck if they are stupid enough to try and go toe to toe with us! Like a knife through butter :)

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Surely united must be thinking Rio Ferdinand as their next manager. He was influential in negotiating Ole's full-time contract and persuaded the legend that is Ronaldo that he should return to united when the media thought his head had been turned. The man's a shoe-in.

Shoo-in.

Man Utd slap staggering price-tag on Phil Jones despite one game in two years

EXCLUSIVE: Phil Jones will still cost £15m to sign from Manchester United despite playing just once in the Premier League across the past two years, meaning signing the defender would be a risk

[give it to gordon]

Agree with every word. I'd still love to see it though:)

When I see clips like that it pisses me of that I never made it as a pro player

 

[Protein Junkie]

Manchester United value 29-year-old England centre-back Phil Jones at £15m, with Burnleyand Newcastle interested in a move. (Star)

fecking lol Shirley some mistake with the valuation.
Operation - sell our shit to Newcastle begins.

 

[Marvin]

There's so much you could say about Man Utd. Two things that amuse me are Fernandes and his match long temper tantrums, and Mason Greenwood and his very unsuccessful long distance shooting.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I've been thinking about who their worst, thickest ex player cum pundit or owner or manager is from the Ferguson generation. There is a ton of competition (Beckham, The Neville brothers, Owen, Giggs, Keane, Scholes, Fletcher, Hargreaves, Hughes, Bruce etc) but I honestly think this embarrassing creature takes the prize.

Dwight Yorke by a country mile. I would say he is a moron in the clinical sense. Having met him, and been in his company for about an hour at a social event in Glasgow about 15 years ago, I speak with a level of personal experience on the matter. He is a palpably stupid man.

Don’t agree that Ferdinand is thick. Just because someone isn’t especially articulate doesn’t mean they are unintelligent. Some of the smartest people I’ve dealt with can barely read and write. Think Ferdinand expresses his thoughts in a far clearer and more coherent manner than Yorke, who isn’t capable of independent thought imo.

fwiw, would also say Owen, Beckham and Robson (who didn’t make your list) are discernibly thicker than Ferdinand. Far duller too, especially the first two who are sinfully dull.

Hargreaves, Fletcher and Keane shouldn’t be in there (again imo) as they are relatively bright.

Mctominay as CF - that’s the latest on the CAF.
