United Thread - 2023/24

[LWashington]

Copenhagen didn’t have 3 penalties. What an absolutely bizarre thing to lie about!

The second 2 (pen) probably means their defence was penetrated, with no lube.

Its the amount of times people asked why has the thread title changed. ;)

I thought it was this -

But the Rags do it every game?

Exactly, the rags play a weakened team every week because it’s the only one they have

Uncle Syndrome! Sounds like something out of a Dickens novel.

I’m fascinated by the hundreds of United fans saying that wasn’t a red card!
The other guy put his foot there first,then Rashy stamps down hard on his ankle ,obvious red card for me , that’s without my blue tints on

It can’t be a red card, though. I mean it’s Marcus Rashford and he’s just not like that. Nobody who feeds the poor Fish Finger sandwiches could commit a foul.

You’re not thinking straight.

I did at first too.

If they lose to Galatasaray, Europa League is gone too.

There's no way this shower will beat Bayern the following week and they'll finish bottom on just 3 points; a home "win" against FC Copenhagen to boast their Champions League 'return'.

"THEY might as well be Celtic"

 

[yeah whatever !!]

I wonder if Rashford's go faster spoiler will be at half mast today ?

 

[Golden Silva]

Might as well be Celtic.

Damn!! You beat me to it.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

"THEY might as well be Celtic"

That's insulting to Celtic.

That's insulting to Celtic.

You could be right as I was in Glasgow last week and overheard a Celtic fan say "Might as well be United" ;)

Its the sound Rashfords sports car makes when pulling away from traffic lights with the hydraulic spoiler up.

If Carlsberg did sarcastic sports cars .

Its good for football that FC København did win, need more smaller clubs to get up challange in CL. Boring by the football pyramid that only top teams dominate. Long time since Monaco, Porto was in the final.

Just seen the highlights. Took my blue specs off, put them in the glasses case, locked it away.
The Rashford incident. You honestly can't do that. You can shield the ball, but you can't do that. It's a red. I'd genuinely say the same if it were a City defender.
Penalty. Yep, ’fraid so. I initially thought that the ball was coming at him at speed, and that his arm was fairly close to his body. It isn't, and it isn't. Again, if it happened to us, I'd accept the penalty. It's not quite like the penalty given against Jack in the Cup Final, I'm afraid, and on two counts: the ball brushes Jack's hand, which is itself in a natural position, given that he's jumping (it's also considerably closer to his body). And what follows from that — it does not significantly change the trajectory.
Loathe the way the satellite companies always get former United players to comment on these decisions. Everybody knows they're United fans, through and through. Their evaluations are worthless.

That ugly little runt Garnacho shushing the crowd at 2-3 to then go on and lose the match just about sums up that absolute skid mark of a club.

In November back in 23,
What a very special night for me.
Copenhagen
What a night!

I came up with a better line...

Oh what a night
In November back in 23
United's pain and misery
Copenhagen
What a night

A skid mark of a club.

That’s fucking brilliant, that.
