I have to admit that I do quite like it when they get all giddy at the start of the season, if anything I try to egg them on even more. Nothing better than listening to them claiming they are back and the garden's all rosey only to see it decend into an utter clusterfuck soon after the season starts.

Funnily enough me too.

A rag I know told me to fuck off when I said beating us in both FA Cup and charidee shield proves we should be weary of them taking our title next season. The new lad reminds me of peak Vidic...

The day it was announced that PR37 was returning to the swamp, all the rags at work were like kids at a birthday party.

It was very enjoyable watching the gradual change of mood, as the season unfolded and the realisation dawned on them that the preening show pony wasn’t going to bring them anywhere near their close neighbours.

A bit like shooting fish in the East Stand of the Swamp!

Or the South Stand at Etihad?

Leny Yoro: Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand call helped French defender choose club

New Manchester United signing Leny Yoro says a call from former defender Rio Ferdinand persuaded him to join the club over other suitors.

Apparently, Camelgob had a major influence on Yoyo joining the rags, according to Slimy Stone.

He adds that the new ugly one was coveted by many European clubs, though curiously enough, he didn’t mention that they weren’t prepared to pay the astronomical fee that the swamp-dwellers splurged:

James Ducker in the Telegraph has Mason Greenwood down as a ‘generational talent’ this morning. He said the exact same thing about Yoro on Saturday. You really do have to laugh.

Apparently (same source) Getafe are getting 20 per cent of his transfer fee for him going to Marseille.. he was only on loan at them! New ownership doing the same great business as always

That Yoro kid is one strange looking fcuker lmao

If Cole Palmer had a baby with Chris Kamara…

The rags have some kind of hold on the media in this country, of that I'm pretty certain. It's the only way they can continuously be seen in a favourable light despite the crap way they are doing things, by having some kind of say in what is written and what isn't.


Before long every article concerning that bastard club will have loads of smiling emojis around it: kisses, love-hearts, thumbs-ups and so on.

It's all very simple really and as ever it's a case of follow the money.

The online print and broadcast media make all their money from ad revenue based on the number of clicks, likes and subs their content receives... and despite united's decade of failure and mediocrity they do still have a huge number of gormless armchair supporters across the world who lap up every story that features their beloved club.

They're obviously going to be nothing more than sycophantic rag fanzines in order to keep milking those armchair fans.

I remember as a kid I'd get all giddy whenever City beat Stalybridge Celtic in a pre-season friendly and thinking this was definitely our year... the difference is these rag supporters are grown adults getting all giddy every pre-season.

Wasn’t Ronaldo persuaded to go back to the swamp from a phone call from camel gob? That one worked out well let’s open this one goes the same way

I thought it was the pisscan, but I’m not 100% sure.

Doubt you'll find an honest answer as to who was the guilty party.

Fucking brilliant judgement though !

Err... you don't think they are going to be any good this year do you? I need the comedy through the cold winter months.

Haha, even up to my teens (early 80’s) I didn’t quite get the fact that although we had some cracking players, other teams potentially had same level or better - every year was a scouse style ‘this is our year’, after all, we deserved it by then! Probably didn’t really change too much until relegation in my late 20’s…

What will happen is the same as every recent season - Rags will be tipped to challenge at the top of the table, ratboy Neville will proclaim that United 'are back'.

Roll on November and the Rags are taking it up the a*se from teams who break at speed, Keane will be calling them lazy c*nts on Sky Sports, Ten Hag will be clinging on to his job and normal service will be resumed.

The HYS comments are funny, nearly all taking the piss :-)

EDIT:- Just had my comment removed after it was on the site for a few hours, they must have got pissed off about all the piss taking. My comment was responding to someone mentioning legend and Camelgob in the sentence. :-
He leg ended it out through the toilet window when the drug testers arrived at Carrington.

Apparently
