United Thread - 2021/22

The coaching is stuck in the 90’s. I suppose ten bob is their attempt to move forward and try to catch us up.

I don't think they will catch Arsenal

Surely if they are trying to move forward, ten bob should now be called 50 pee.

I never for one moment envisaged a demise of this level. Maureen called it I guess.

Would love to suggest that they are noisy neighbours? However, I think the quiet ones that live at the bottom of the cul-de-sac that you never see and aren't completely sure are alive would be more relevant for them.

United aren't down and out yet I think. They could still recruit very well if Ten Haag is actually a good manager with a vision and a decent list of targets who are not demanding CL.

It'll be an interesting transfer window for united, Newcastle, Spurs and Arsenal. Any of them could leap forward or be left in the dust.

They are on the brink thats for sure. Already spent the last 2/3 weeks talking about FDJ and look no closer which is just typical of the rags over the last 5/6 years.

But but but we biggest bestest club in the whole wild world!


No title in 10 years

No Trophy in 5 years

Now name another so called biggest club in the world with those stats?

His English cousin was phased out in 1969, so they've got a lot of catching up to do.

"Ten shillings in pre-decimal money (written 10s or 10/-) was equivalent to half of one pound. The ten-shilling note was the smallest denomination note ever issued by the Bank of England. The note was issued by the Bank of England for the first time in 1928 and continued to be printed until 1969."

Shame.

It was always a fine day when you got a ten bob note in your card on a birthday, 120 old pence would have been an incredible amount of shrapnel to cart off to the shops in the pockets of your short trousers.

Luxury. I'd have been over the moon with half a crown.

You knew you had a ten bob note when it didn't rattle mate ;)

They are stuck in a time warp no doubt. I think last season was when their chickens finally came home to roost. I think even the officials have given up on bailing them out. That season under Solksjaer when they kept getting all those pens blew my mind, ridiculous assistance from the authorities. Anyway, I'm hoping for a sustained period in the doldrums for them, whereby the highlight of their season is reaching the 5th round of the FA Cup.

The penalties were very suspect.
They are absolutely shocking and have started to rely on them.

Looks like the rags will be shopping for bargain players, no big signings for them this season.

I used to see my single, alcoholic Scottish uncle about twice a year and he always used to insist on giving me a £5 note as a gift from him.
My mum (his sister) used to go apeshit at him and try to make me give it him back.
At the time (late 60s) I actually thought that it was like being a millionaire,and I was only just behind John Paul Getty in cash assets.

You've got to love the alcoholic uncles and aunties, nowadays the same people are giving kids exfoliating packs and meat free chocolate ;)

The rags need this down at the swamp.

That's the rags getting shat on to the pitch innit?? Makes sense to me …!

This is funny and worth repeating

They need to be looking at different players. Similar to us a decade ago and Newcastle now

You are not going to get people just joining them now because of th history. Most of these players now are a generation removed from the success. They want it now but chasing shadows of people who dont want to go there is pointless

They should have people like Phillips sown up. People who can do the job needed to consolidated into a top four side. The shiny toys come later when you are asking people to join a winning side

Bit old to be getting excited by a fiver but fair play I guess

They say getting out of the championship is expensive.
But not as expensive as getting into the top four

Well 50 odd years later and I would still be gutted if I LOST a fiver !!!

I was pleasantly surprised to hear one of the more intelligent older rags wax lyrical about Jack Grealish on 606 recently. Said Southgate should mold the England team around him and just let him play. Couldn’t agree more. The lad has immense talent.

Waistcoat doesn't have the Brains to do that. His team spine is T-Rex/Tront/Magliar/Mount/Kane.

The talent that puts a glass eye to sleep.
