United Thread - 2021/22

[ysmsa]

I see utd have a new scouting system in place for next seasons first team squad.
(Apologies if already posted)

Meanwhile the "Celebrations" will be at the Etihad.

The United Way! Best thing is Ferguson is having to watch this shit every week, every season.

He will be mumbling into the ice cream & jelly soon enough. Ranting noisy neighbours, noisy neighbours, noisy neighbours please go away. ;)

 

[roman totale]

I love the way FFS put the fourth in off DeGea’s face. Can’t stop smiling about it.

Lol we're just an Instagram club now

 

[halfcenturyup]

yeah the “ stop ranting “ is something I say to the Mrs to piss her off

Bit disrespectful, that .....

 

[Gray]

There is another reason to be kind to the older generation. The older we get our short term memory deteriorates but long term memory becomes much clearer. He was obviously recalling the days when he was a player.

He is probably the next person to be awarded a minutes silence pre-match, not been seen around for some time now.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

are you talking about the rumours he flew off to Portugal when he found out he wasn’t starting?

He would never properly quit on them midseason it would damage the brand too much.

Separate rumour to the widely reported flying out.

 

[moh]

I've said this ever since they sacked him, he had a good squad really, an had the fans given him a chance, they wouldn't have fallen so far, but the same fans wanted ferguson out until he fluked a cup.

Which, if you can make it through the stench of malt whiskey and piss, will be what Slur Alex prattles on about throughout the game

he was chuntering away to one of his carers all the way through the game at the weekend. I’m sure he had a nice day out

And just to add to their misery the share price is at its lowest ever level.

39% down from flotation....lovely

 

[Gingers Dad]

Disagree. I've watched West Ham live and they still play somewhat of a direct and longball style. The entitled rag fans would have never put up with that.

He was simply never cut out to the expectations of the job.

They would if they were winning

The red two thirds of Manchester? That opening line shows their default to belittle our club and shows their arrogance. That mindset will keep them where they are with their entitlement to believe they should still be top dog. It’s not the 1990s anymore lads, you don’t rent vhs from Blockbuster, Tony Blair ain’t pm and the Spice Girls have split up. Get over it.

Gives the manager a free pass. Apparently he only got the line up and tactics wrong

 

[give it to gordon]

And not forgetting the lovable Bobby Charlton in 2014:

Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton has guaranteed supporters the club will finish above rivals Manchester City next season.

City are on course to win the Premier League title, while United have endured a tough campaign and sacked David Moyes as manager in April.
But Charlton, a director at United, says it will be different in 2014-15.

"Next year I guarantee that we will be number one in Manchester. We like to be first and we will be first," he said.

This really gets my goat.

Next year I guarantee that we will be number one in Manchester. We like to be first and we will be first," he said.

They arent based in Manchester, how the fuck can they be the best in Manchester when they arent in Manchester.
It really annoys me we dont hear Oldham Bury etc saying they are a Manchester club.
They call us the noise neighbours well I see Manchester as being the bigger City than Trafford. Most people have heard of Manchester but Trafford ?
They are so desperate to be from Manchester it's so disrespectful to Trafford.
I hate that they were allowed to use our great Citys name.

I hate the way commentators say ' from across the city'

To really wind them up I dont even call it a derby match no more than City v Oldham etc. Its a Greater Manchester derby yes but not a Manchester derby.

Its amazing who many rags believe they are in Manchester.
It's like the Tevez post it was geographically correct, so did the rags get annoyed. Its correct welcome to Manchester.

I am a mancunian ( thou my accent might say not lol ) I am not from Trafford or Oldham or Bolton. A manc.

I just hate them .....

Much was made of their first half showing, but the truth of the matter is, they were at full capacity just to keep up with us and totally gassed out in the second half.

I do think that they did quite well at various points in the first half, and they put a very good move together for their goal. Thing is, we (along with Liverpool) put moves like that together all the time and not just once in the whole fucking match! That's the trouble with United and with pundits like Neville - if they show glimpses of playing well then all of a sudden they're back when the truth is that every team in the division is capable of playing well at some point during a game. The hyperbole is off the scale at times. I don't tend to watch United's games but going off the more truthful accounts, they truly are dogshit for large chunks of pretty much every match they play!

Not sure if already posted:

 

[Sir peace frog]

I posted this in the post-match thread yesterday, but I think it’s worth putting in here as well:

View attachment 38073

I would like to see the stats for the first half, considering they were "so good "

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

I'd assume he's been charged and like Mendy it's all quiet while the case is built.

nope not charged he has been released on bail pending further police investigation.

It’s probably more to do with Pep coming over here and destroying the myth that tactics and positioning can’t beat running loads and kicking people.

Even now, Keane and Neville revert to “just kick someone” when they can’t explain why their archaic style of football can no longer win.

If Pep had been our manager in the 90s, there would have been a good chance that the pisscan would have been sacked before the millennium.

I think with keegan the premier league almost had a Pep
He was widely ridiculed but, even if he was a long way behind Pep. He was still the type of manager that should be made to succeed
Instead Fergie is lauded and I can’t get my head round that

 

[crazyg]

Correct, and the reason they were still in it was down to the ref adopting "keep rags in it" mode after we scored early.

How else could he come to the decision in the Phil/magliar incident to give a free kick to them.

What was Phils motivation to foul magliar??? nothing, and magliars motivation to stop Phil getting to the ball was obvious, any ref being honest with himself would know this.

If he rightfully gives that pen and we score, its game over halfway through the first half.

Tells you all you need to know about olivar and his loyalties, we cant have all the subscribers switching off at half time can we.

We regularly have to play through this "keeping the opposition in the game" and only when we are two or three up does the ref relent and we start to get 50/50 decisions.

How many games when we are winning by just one goal does the ref invite our opponents to lob the ball into our box by giving them free kick after free kick at every opportunity.

I believe this is one of the reasons that we never hear the last of it when one "goes our way".

Thankfully we were so superior yesterday that all of pigmols minions together couldnt have saved them.

But, but, but.........
Kevin scored twice for City!
