MOTD didn’t show the Sabitzer challenge that should have been a red

I'm almost certain that the media are contractually obliged not to show any contentious decisions or incidents (unless it suits the carefully scripted PL narrative) as part of their TV rights deals.
 
It's up to us to stop them, if we can click into gear like we use to be a couple of seasons ago we'll leave them trailing in our wake

This talk of demolishing the shit hole for a new shit hole I hope they don’t expect City to help them out again the cunts.

No way should we be helping them out with the shit they’ve thrown our way! But we do seem to try to be everybody’s friend so it wouldn’t shock me if we helped them out again

The necessary fortnightly, or perhaps even weekly, stadium fumigation costs we would have to charge them will break the Glazers, or even the potential new owners.
Scum.
 
Didn’t watch their game yesterday but after comments I had a look at the highlights on MoD, how was that not a straight red! The offside looked dubious as well, cant believe they are only 3 behind now.

They’re not doing a very good job. I got home from work 10 minutes ago, stuck Sky Sports News on and they’ve talked about nothing other than the United non sending off yet.
 
Never forget.... Scum.

Manchester United & Munich ’58 – Forgetting the Past?​


There is however one aspect of the crash that is often airbrushed out of memory, namely United’s treatment of those players seriously injured in the crash. In 2002, Harry Greggs, United’s goalkeeper at the time of the crash published his autobiography entitled ‘Harry’s Game’. Harry had played hero the night of the crash, saving many lives when he bravely decided to risk his own life in pulling survivors from the wreckage.

One of the lucky survivors, Harry returned playing after Munich and was part of the Busby revival in the 1960s. Greggs was a United man through and through. He even acted as a coach and scout for the Red Devils in his retirement. Despite his allegiances to the club, Greggs revealed some uncomfortable truths about the aftermath of Munich.

Jackie Blanchflower, the Northern Ireland defender, was the first to suffer from United’s ill treatment. When it became clear to the club that Blanchflower would never play football again, the club soon cut ties with the man from Belfast. First they withdrew his taxi rights, a crippling blow for a man who struggled to walk after Munich.

Next, Blanchflower was evicted from his club accommodation despite his wife being heavily pregnant at the time. The Reds were quick to cut away those players who were no longer of use. Blanchflower wasn’t the only victim of such ill-treatment either. The Reds withdrew rented accommodation for all the survivors who couldn’t play football again.

Johnny Berry was evicted from his club house and was later fired by United through a letter. Albert Scanlon, another survivor badly affected by the disaster played with United for a short time in the aftermath of Munich before being transferred to Newcastle. Busby allegedly told Scanlon that if he ever fell on hard times Busby would help him out. When Scanlon did turn to Busby, his pleas seemingly fell on deaf ears. Anger at Scanlon’s treatment still affects Albert’s family.

And if we were competing against them in the Europa league I might care about their results in that competition. As we are competing in the league, I care about that.

They’ve got 29/33 points since the World Cup.

We got 20/30.

They lost to Arsenal and drew with Crystal Palace and Leeds so I guess VAR has branched out to awarding points as well.

Unless I have got it wrong, I think The Shits have won 7, drawn 2 and lost 1 since the World Cup which is 23 points.
