[I'm With Stupid]

...but it always evens itself out.

Not just against us either. I was reading an article from 2003. A season where Ruud van Nistelrooy scored 9 penalties at Old Trafford. They mentioned that the last person to score a penalty at Old Trafford was Muzzy Izzet in 1993, and only four penalties had been awarded to the away team since the start of the Premier League. Historically 65% of penalties go to the home team, and while there will always be a bias towards better teams because they are going to be attacking more, the rags have a massively outsized advantage. A penalty is awarded on average once every five games, yet the rags were getting one every 3 games a few years ago and in the three years up to 2022, they were getting the most penalties in all of Europe's top 5 leagues. And this is a time when they've not been a particularly great team. The bias is clear. The cheating is obvious.

When I think back to the scums glory years
Waiting for their inevitable 88th minute winner week in week out in my rag infested house, as a lone city fan the shit I took from even my own wife and kids makes these days the blessing I never thought I’d see in my lifetime.
Both my city supporting parents died months before the takeover and they would have loved to see that first title.
Watching these cunts getting all giddy about mason fucking mount brings back the smiles and laughter from me I never thought I’d ever see.
The sight of that banner is etched in my mind and that alone will make sure I’ll hate these cunts for the rest of my life.
All that is left is an unlikely relegation but I’ve never given up hope.

I hate these cunts more now than I ever did

 

[remember arthur mann]

Sky reporting a world class performance from Mason Mount in a highly prestigious pre-season game against Leeds, and says it is " great the understand exactly how the manager wants the team to play ".

Translated as - Just fucking hoof it upfront to somebody ( probably offside anyway but ignored ) just like last season. Tactics of the highest order.

And you can see all the rags pre-season games on Shite TV Productions TM - really just how much smoke can be blown up the arses of these cunts ?

And as if possible, Mount manages to look an even bigger **** than before , wearing a rag shirt.

SLY are going to make a huge effort to keep these fuckers relevent this season.

Fits in perfectly with the rag's, at least they can understand him. "Wotcha" !

And pgmol, of course. Yet another long season of the bastards being assisted in every game.
Just once it would be nice to read a report on a rag game that didn't have them being awarded a highly controversial penalty, or the opposing side being denied two or three blatant penalties. And what a pleasant change it would be to not read a report where a rag was 'very fortunate not to receive a red card.'

Season after season it's the same old story. August, and everybody is looking forward to the new season getting underway. But long before the final games the following May, we've all had our fill of the blatant favouritism being shown towards the rags - yet again.

Yep it will be the same old same old story

The anti Glazer stuff is really a smoke screen for , we’re really hurting because City are now miles in front both on and off the field..

I’m on a banter page where they are now saying , we’re not their rivals it’s Liverpool and Leeds , imagine having banners and singing songs all game about a club that aren’t your main rivals… you can lie to me but you can’t lie to yourself .

Ten Bob says that Mount will make them “more dynamic”. Not the phrase I would use about him.

He wasn't exactly 'dynamic' at Chelsea, where he had better players around him.

Think you mean "Wowcher" - they must be using Wowcher vouchers to try and get cut price deals on no-mark players by now

 

[its grim up north]

What really fucks me off is the allegations of cheating, wtf, we’re a very well run club with the best model in the world. We had to deal with the jealous old guard trying to halt lour progress but UEFA couldn’t defeat us and neither will the cunts of the hateful 8.

We’ve not cheated like Juve did, Dippers false investment in the new stadium, Chelsea, Leicester writing off debts, Rags hidden accounts in the Cayman Isles, we’re squeaky clean compared to those cunts

And, if we were cheating and defrauding then we would be on trial at a crown court, not in front of an Arsenal fan.

No we ain’t their rivals but they celebrated like they had won a treble when they got that stuffy win against us in January. The mental gymnastics on how they see us and them is fantastic, they are hurting they aren’t doing what City are doing. Long May it continue.

I honestly don't think there is a suggestion that we have done anything illegal as such, its more a case that they way we have gone about things doesn't sit within what the PL expect, by agreeing to abide by a set of their rules this is what i expect them to try and pin us down on.

As an example I could join a Golf club where they have a rule about not allowing shorts in the clubhouse, if I chose to ignore that rule I won't have broken a law as such but I could be thrown out or suspended from the club. I wouldn't really have any recourse as I signed up to the rules.

A bit like smoking in the toilets?

And even then, we've decided it's a bit warm so have worn a skirt in the clubhouse because the rules don't explicitly say we can't.

But they'll still try and throw us out for breaking the no-shorts rule.

 

[Peaceful Terrier]

Only £500 a week. You need to ask for a raise mate, the rest of use on here are all paid much more than that.

Fully agree. I get £1,500 p/w and SM is putting my kids through Harvard Law, and I only have to periodically come on here and pretend I like you.

I have been married for nearly 47 years, wife was not into sport when I met her. Now she is fanatical about keeping up with our games, brilliant stuff.
