Proper fuckeits absolutely Brill.

No club could deserve to suffer as much as that shower

I,m pretty sure Pundit Jay is blue :-)

This is going to develop nicely in the coming days, weeks and months ahead.

It's also unwinnable by either side and, therefore likely to continue to fester forever. The club have bowed to every fan demand and things have only got worse. The fans are becoming a toxic liability reducing the value of the club to investors and sponsors without ever spelling out exactly what it is they really want (although we all know it's guaranteed trophies?).

It's delicious.

 

[give it to gordon]

The gift that keeps on giving :-)

I have no time for the rags.

But what gives the rags the right to think it's ok to go and harass the CEO at his home ?.

What has his family got to do with it ?

I think its discussing that they would go to his family home to demonstrate.

The CEO than meets them in the local pub to stop them harassing his family. Than they secretly film him. Seems that wanted to scare his family, that's brave of them

Scum

"as much" I could think of one at a stretch.

The rags were fuck all before the Premier League money rescued them, and they're fuck all now that we're all playing on a level playing field.
If you are given more money than any other club in the history of the game, if you are constantly being given refereeing decisions that defy logic but are of considerable assistance to the one club, and if your manager is a snarling, uncouth, foul-mouthed bully who is allowed to do what he likes and say what he likes, allowed to choose which referee he personally will allow to take charge of all his games, and your financial dominance over the rest of the league means you can cherry-pick all the best players home and abroad, it would be criminal if you DIDN'T win almost everything on offer.
Fast forward a few years and see how things have changed: other clubs now have immense wealth and power, they can now have more than just a say as to which players go where and why. The Premier league is no longer one club's domain, they have serious opposition.
And just look at that one club now. Just look at how far they have fallen, how far down the pecking order they have plummeted to.

And the man who single-handedly caused this fall from grace sits there today, arms folded in a hollow gesture of defiance, scowling at the bitter memory of a failed court battle over a racing horse, a battle that ultimately delivered the club over to the Glazers
An octogenarian with a history of alcohol abuse who would rather sit in the grim surroundings of the club he once managed than sit at home with hearth and wife. A man who seemingly has no reason to exist other that to stalk the empty corridors of a football stadium where once he was exalted as a God, a new Messiah for Sky's plastic empire, fawned over by the likes of Richard Keyes and Martin Tyler.

Meanwhile, the very club this man publicly insulted on a regular basis is now leading the way. The best football seen in this country, ever. The absolute best players that have ever participated in the sport, the most loyal fans to observe and appreciate this wondrous style of play, the club that has smashed nearly all records, the Centurions, arguably far superior to the Barca sides from years gone by. The club that continues to rub salt in to the very wounds of the Glaswegian Führer who once sneered so disdainfully at his 'noisy neighbours.'


It won't be a bunker in Berlin for this particular demagogue, it'll be a disused bus shelter in a lay-by somewhere, empty Jack Daniels bottles at his feet.

A like is not anywhere near enough for that post.

Agree with every word.

Somethingelse I don't think they've considered is - what right minded investor would look at Utd if the fans are successful and force the glazers out.

Knowing the soft tw*ts will be up in arms if things aren,t going their way isn't a solid basis to plough in the billions required.

I often wonder why they don't go and harass the Glazers themselves, rather than picking on their minions and the sponsors. Blockade a Glazer mall or two. I think we all know why though. The US police wouldn't be quite as accommodating as GMP.

 

[waspish]

If the glazers ever thought of selling who would actually buy them? Yep another yank with the banks money! Bet they wished the Glazers were Russian owners they could do a reset wipe out all the Debt then spend 500m on fixing the shithole and spend another 300m on players

There’s better value elsewhere than United, why would you sink north of 5 billion quid into buying them when you could pick up a club elsewhere in the Premier league for less? The potential people who could bought Newcastle and Chelsea.

The rag twats around here in thanet ( ramsgate, margate etc ) are fucking more plastic than my bank card.
I havent seen one rag shirt for over a month now. That's not quite true the local wineo still has his rag jacket and dippers backpack on. Dont ask lol.

I know the plastics are still about because the dirty looks I get when out in my City top. I think dont give me that look when you have got the balls to wear your rag ( or might be dippers ) shirt.

I have worn my City tops for decades come win or lose, premier league or division 3. I am City come what may.

The local hardware shop they is an old school mate who owns it, a rag from the 70's. To be fair he did go to the swamp alot. Oddly he doesnt go anymore and says he has lost interest in football now. Prefers golf !.

I know we are all different but it doesnt matter to me which division City. I still wear my City gear, I still get told of at work for wearing my City hat.

City are part of who I am. You can take the boy out of Manchester but you cant Manchester out of the boy R Kid lol.

I guess with a week or two before the new season starts i will start the see the plastic dippers and rags reappear in their shirts. Properly some will be brave and shout something from across the street or from a 100 yards away lol.

I love being a City fan come rain or shine

Ha. Back when I was a gigging muso they didn't like me making derogatory remarks about the rags when I was playing in Ramsgate's Working Mens Club. There was some chavvy-looking yob and his tattooed-covered girlfriend who used to wear all the old shirts and stuff and fuck me...did I give them stick! They apparently told the entertainment secretary that wouldn't be coming in any night I was playing there because 'He's always taking the piss out of us,'

I lose sleep at night worrying how I might have upset the poor little plastics.

When City were taken over I use to pick my youngest up from school.
There was this bloke there doing the same, he was covered head to foot in utd tattoos. Always gave me a dirty look and would joke about Arabs and dirty oil money etc.
Non stop having a pop, not to my face of course lol.
I wish I still saw these type of people but they disappear of the face of earth lol.
Sadly I haven't know a rag for over a decade, not at work etc.

 

[pudge]

United fans praising Arnold for coming out and talking to the fans...

Missing out the fact he only did so because it was leaked they were going to rush his home and protest outside it so he met them by surprise down the road at the pub before they could.

Cunts.

Perhaps we could buy them and asset strip then shut the fkrs down....

There ain’t many assets to strip apart from selling the stadium for scrap metal, we’d probably be better looking at buying Lou Macari’s chippy or the Ford garage on Chester road.
