United Thread - 2023/24

If the powers that be at the swamp had an ounce of sense, they would sack tent bag and hire De Zerbi immediately.

If de Zerbi had any sense, he would not go there.

The group I go the match with did the same apart from 2 of our lot who went to the pub after the 4th went in.

I also remember us giving Paul Merson a rousing reception when he played brilliantly for Villa.

I also remember when we hosted Chelsea one season and Zola was pure magic. Again thousands stood up and applauded when he was substituted late on.
A joy to behold was the little fella and who could have imagined a couple of decades later we would have our very own Zola type player in David Silva.

It really is sickening what these old school, Shill, Journalists will write to keep an absolutely shite United team and a club falling apart relevant and in the headlines. They have absolutely no shame whatsoever.

Once again the floppy haired c*nt excells himself.

Holt was born in 1966 so it's not like he has any personal recollection of the disaster or the impact it had on the club or its supporters. Everything he is writing about is based on hearsay. One imagines his earliest memories are the Denis back heel or Best's disappearing acts.

I’d forgotten about that game, Spuds played with 10 men for a large part of the game and Berbatov played up front in his own and was superb.

I'd say the best performance from an away forward at our pad.

Never mind it's a GOOD Thing ; )

 

[Brightwell’s left peg]

Heard schmeichel on the radio last week waffling on about the aura of the club and that it takes a special kind of player to represent them , they really are deluded.

This is what will continue to hold them back. Let it continue. Their continued pursuit of special players, rather than a well functioning team. “This is Manchester United” we’re talking about.

Manchester United deny report that 'four stars were involved in a furious dressing room bust-up' after their dismal 3-1 defeat by Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday​

Rumours are it started when Casemiro stole Luke Shaw’s last sausage roll.

Tbf, if they had any kind of sense they would've been all in for Pep after Whiskey nose left. Thank fuck their God "Sir" Alex Ferguson decided that David Moyes was the next Rags manager and thinking just signing Felleni would be OK. They were delusional then and are even more so now. It's fkn lovely.

Ferguson went for Moyes because he knew his legacy as The King of Stretford would be safe,Pep would have made him
look like the gobshite he is.

Nail on the head, as long as they persist in that daft narrative that they are somehow "special" the longer their decline goes on, it's been the downfall of empires never mind football clubs

Yes he was different class that game.
I remember him killing dead on his instep a ball from about 70 ft out of the air from the boot of their keeper. The ball just seemed to stick with him that game

I wonder how long it took for the press to stop saying: "This is Preston North End we are talking about" after their Invincibles season in 1888/1889. I give United another decade of mediocrity before they fade from the memories of even the most deluded pundits.

 

[The Salford lad.]

I’m in Brazil at the moment and I’m constantly antsy asked where are you from I say Manchester , ahhh they say Manchester City , the old ahh Manchester Utd of best and bald Bob era are fast fading …

Pretty sure Shaw eats his sausage rolls in twos one in each hand, so either Casemiro nicked his last 2 or the fucker bit Shaw's finger trying to take a bite of one of them.

They've definitely got some special players

 

[KentBlue]

Didn't the rags try to get Pep, but he turned them down?

And I bet, at some point, Fernandes was lying on the floor clutching his ankle, whilst giving surreptitious glances around the dressing room.

Ten Hag - "It proves they care"

Neville - "Avram Glazer threw the first punch"
