The climb back to the top isnt going to be a quick one and a part of the problem is delusion.
They may be a ‘big’ company , But they havent been a ‘big’ club for 12 years now. My youngest kids , 12 and 9, had no clue, no idea that united used to be good, when i told them they were actually shocked!
They also didnt know city used to be crap!
But they care little about either fact. They care about the now.

So like a lot of old establishment figures, they think the name alone will keep them relevant and at the top. They scoff at us when we publish our income because … how can ickle city bring that amount in? Cheats!!!!!

Weve left them behind in a lot of respects and they are chasing their own tail trying to keep up but failing.

Ah well

Amazing isn't it, even when they're shit they have to come out with a load hyperbolic pompous nonsense to account for it.

Most of their recent signings wouldn't have had a clue who Denis Law even was.

He stopped playing for the club more than thirty years before some of them were born!

 

[remember arthur mann]

Tickled me this one , goldbridge at his finest :

Watch along my arse, he's listening to it on radio, followed up by a dodgy, delayed, streaming channel.

 

[tommybooth]

Like Jaguar. Used to be good many years ago. Now shit and with new owners getting worse.

Dion Dublin must have the best agent in the world. Gets all the gigs as an ex rag. He only started a handful of games for them in 2 years

He was good in The Shining

And how many times did the wanker British media refer to us getting beat 4-1 off his old team and how his tactics would rip up the Premier League.
There is something catastrophically wrong with the journalists over here who absolutely bend over for these red wankers at every chance they can.
Well I hope they choke on their own words and some.

I vaguely remember a game where we beat the coonts (could have been the 6-1) where, even though City had won convincingly, the narrative was, "Ah, but utds goal was the best!"
This comment meant that their goal was shown many more times than the combined total of ours.
Any casual tv viewer could have thus been misled into thimking that the rags had won.

SCUM!

Scatman Crothers, what a name!

 

[Grassland Blue]

Apparently we're in crisis and 4th. These are lucky to be 13th, not heard the media anywhere mentioned the word crisis about them.

That's because they keep entering new eras. You ought to know this.
Sheesh!

I can't tell as it's truncated but is the guy suggesting that the rags ticket guy has threatened that if he doesn't stop contacting the club they will "retaliate" by creating concerns about whether there are safeguarding issues around his grandad? If this is real and that's the case it's outrageous; but then this is from the club who treated the bereaved and the survivors of Munich the way they did. Doing it the united way indeed.

That's appalling.
I hope the message gets widely circulated
Shows that scummy club in their true light.

You might be thinking of the 5-1 at Maine Road when their goal was a bicycle kick from Mark Hughes.

I think that's the match I meant.

It doesn’t surprise me, knowing the media's continual fawning over the rags, but both Bishop’s and Hinchcliffe's were far better goals.

That was the 5-1 in the late 80's and apparently Ralph Milne was the best player on the pitch!!!!!

Paul Lake.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Paul Lake.

Baconface said Ralph Milne as well as Hughes scoring the best goal.

Who are we to argue with such greatness?

 

[Chris in London]

Was listening to him on 5live before the game explaining it was the weight of expectation of playing for a club where the likes of Denis Law etc.. had played that was the reason players failed to perform at united rather than them simply not being good enough. I would say this perceived exceptionalism has hampered them more than any other factor, other than the Glazers. Long may it continue.

In fairness, he would know all about going to Old Trafford and being gash

 

[pirate]

My barber who is a rag says that Ferguson's greed regarding that horse has caused their demise.

he/she is not wrong

 

[blue for life]

Turned the radio on and it sounds like a national day of mourning once again for the rags!
