United Thread - 2021/22

[Bluekiwi]

You could save the wrappers and send off for a pair of X-ray glasses. I never had enough but used to wonder how they worked.

My dad used to smoke senior service cigarettes - their cards were great - whenever my wife watches Corrie I aften see examples in Roy's cafe. Oh - the good old innocent (!!!) days.

Sorry, thought this was the United thread not some old farts reminiscing about the 1970's

That's all united fans seem to do.

My bad . . .

I remember when I used to complain about FoC’s those were the days ;-)

 

[horlock_was_super]

Back on track.
nytid are SCUM.
The Pope told them to fuck off.
The gpc is having to watch Manchester’s one & only dominate in his lifetime.
As you were Blues.
CTID.

With six players gone, who are they seriously in the market for?
Do you think Declan Rice and James Ward-Prowse are on the scum's radar?

Declan Rice will take a big chunk of their budget if they went for him, whose to say West Ham would accept with the lack of money the rags put upfront on their transfers these days.

Their football administration on player contracts has been negligent allowing that many players to be out of contract or able to leave in one window. I imagine the capability of the squad that Ten Hag will have when the window shuts will be a lot worse than the squad that finished the season a few weeks back. What player worth his salt would go there seeing how far back they are? They will have to promote from the youth team to cover the turn over and hope they get lucky with them.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Aside from a big payout towards the end of their careers, why the f*ck would and self respecting player want to go and play there? They are utterly f*cked when it comes to recruitment.

They will have to promote from the crowd at this rate.

They will have to be patient with Ten Hag, it’s gonna get a lot worse than this before it gets better. They can’t believe they will be in any shape to challenge for the foreseeable and they are in a scrap with Arsenal and Spurs once again for top four who are a lot further forward with both their rebuilds.

 

[Akira]

Is that concrete booted clown still their captain? Hilarious if so.

Yeah he still is. Amazing isn't it? The dressing room must be severely devoid of leadership.

I can't remember when I used to complain about Foc's, now that is a problem.

Yep. It's going to take a good few years before they can start thinking in terms of challenging for the Prem. For almost the whole of last season it seemed to me that they were winging it, making it up as they go along. Most of their players looked disinterested, bored: Like they didn't want to be there. The odd victories here and there were more fortuitous than planned, and when the nodding lapdog was given the boot and Ralfie came along they went into free-fall. And in order to reverse that free fall it is going to cost billions of pounds - money they just haven't got.

They are going to have to find a man who is up to the challenge, a man who can mould the individuals into one, a shoulders-to-the-grindstone man who must be given time (and lots of it) to turn things round.

Ten-Bob, with all the best will in the world, is definitely not that man.

It’s a long way in the wilderness for them, they are coming up to a decade since they last won a league. Arsenal haven’t won one since 2004, Liverpool have managed one in 32 years. These are the most decorated teams in English football yet their records show them as yesterdays men.

Could United potentially go as long as they did between Busby and Ferguson without winning a league?

This is a job for Bob the builder not tent peg. Days of glory in the mid table.

The penny is starting to drop for these 'history' clubs that it counts for absolutely nothing on the pitch.

Eating themselves up inside! Enjoy the Summer blues.

That would end well seeing as 95% of them are utter knownowt fuckwits.

 

[wahablue]

They will signall the Burnley cast. Offs.
