United Thread - 2023/24

The big problem for them is how long will they bother turning up, their patience must be running very thin, it’s just rinse and repeat every season now

I don't think the match going fans matter when it comes to united's financials... not when they’ve got twelvety billion armchair supporters throughout South-East Asia and mug firms willing to throw £60m shirt sponsorships at them.

The best there is for foaming at the mouth , some of his one liners are comedy gold - enjoy !

We’ve got the equivalent of football aids ! Hahaha

Great isn't it? Don't know who the terrible commentator and co-comm are. Lallana looks like the rapist on Emmerdale

Pien Meulensteen is the commentator. I think she’s fine. Best female commentator out there at the moment.

I was going to bring this up... I only started noticing that silly theatre name being used probably mid-late 90's, which I assume to be all part of the commercialised hyperbole that came with the advent of the PL, can any oldies confirm if the silly theatre name had been in use much longer than that, ie back in the 60's or 70's, or is it just a modern invention created by the rag loving media?

Superficial client media construct that came with the commercial brand positioning of the rags from the 1990's onwards.

I don't know a single rag fan that uses it.

She just sounds like a rag fan. Has worked for MUTV. Is her dad the former coach?

The BBC Live Text earlier described the Hojland goal as disallowed because the ball went "fractionally" out of play... just seen it now, the ball was entirely over and beyond the byline by easily a good 2 or 3 inches.

3 inches is loads

The co-comm is Carrick isnt it? He definitely said ‘we’ at one point when referring to the rags

I don't want to search through 1,100 pages, could somebody tell me what the campaign to save Ten Haag's job is

Think they've got enough comedians playing for them already

Not sure it's his "comedy" that arouse their interest

 

[Penworthamblue]

Just seen this on the BBC sport comments section, made me laugh anyway!

Always known as fucking shithole from my younger days!

Don't think so.
Boro were at Blackburn 3.00 KO today. Lost again.

New team bus?

It might be, but he’s still Middlesbrough manager isn’t he? He should have been at Blackburn this afternoon.

I wonder if it was Mickey Gray. Definitely a north east twang, whoever it was.

 

[madloaf]

Motd right now. Funnier than channel 4 that's for sure!

Only as much as any other commentator is. Her dad is Rene, yeah.

I didn’t notice too much sycophancy, but I wasn’t listening intently.

They recognise the issue but cannot accept what the cure must be
