Someone from the Caf seems to be taking the "Rag" tag a little too seriously:

"It's like calling a United Supporter a "rag", yet one of those supporters could be a doctor treating one of your relatives in hospital right now. Is that a mature way of looking at something? Not at all, but the less intelligent ones will persist, and the Munich chants will also continue because they have no idea of common decency."
 
At this stage in the transfer window with those pesky Blues signing Sterling and KDB it's time for a futile gesture:-

"Woodward take a suitcase with £100m in it. Fly over to Europe and bring us back a player. Any player.

Don't bring the suitcase back."


With apologies to the late, great, Peter Cook.
 
Van Gall is looking ever more insane. "Woodwood fly to Barcelona and sign Pedro." Woodwood, " I don't think that's realistic." Van Gall's sympathetic response and reassuring hand on Woodwoods shoulder and a calm repetition of "Do it" sends Woodwood for his travel bags.
 
Seriously there is no way in this world Real Madrid are going to pay 40mill for a goalkeeper who wants to join them and in the last year of his contract.

What makes what you've described even more tragically comical is that certain united fans refer to Forest and Leeds as 'proper clubs' without any hint of irony that it was their club that consciously thrust the knife into those clubs' very existence as a leading footballing force. They talk nostalgically about their rivalry with Leeds United, like a wife-beater talks about the early days of his courtship with his battered and bruised missus. It's even more ironic given our place in the footballing firmamant at that time, which was considerable.

To some, football exists within a comically narrow and foolish prism. united, as a footballing institution, are hugely guilty in that regard. If they'd been on the ball between 2008 and 2011 the footballing landscpace would be very different today. They were too focused on dismissing and belittling us, to advance what they stood for and represented.

But they weren't. Their bloated arrogance allowed us to conquer, within a decade, the same mountain they'd taken a whole generation to climb. united fans love to try and use where we were a decade ago as a stick to beat us with, but the reality is it should be us that are taking the piss out of them for that. That we've been allowed to slip so seamlessly into the very heart of the European footballing establishment without any signs of meanwhile resistance should give them cause for serious self-examination, but it won't. They'll keep on telling themselves how good they are at pulling rabbits out of the hat and how their history will always trump whatever anyone else can bring to the table, but the rules of history aren't fixed like the laws of physics or chemistry.

Let them dream. A sinking man will always cling to whatever wreckage floats his way. It doesn't have any bearing of the...errr.....massve currents that are coming his way. They can thrash and complain all they want; the tide has turned and it's just a matter of time before the inevitable happens.

Hope dies last.

Brilliant again mate, the sinking man sentence was a personal highlight. .

But they've got a world class manager with a proven track record, don't you know? I think any of them even thinking this shows the ignorance of these so called experts more than anything.

This bloke has won two league titles this century. One with AZ and one with those German minnows Bayern. To give these 'achievements' some context Felix Magath won it with Munich and Steve McLaren won the Dutch title a year or two after him. He has riven dissent wherever he has been and I think the result against Bruges was just what was needed. Rooney back to his world class best and Van Gaal safely ensconced in his seat. Perfect....

Summed up beautifully - well done sir

It is quite funny reading Red Cafe when you realise that the closest most of them have been to Manchester is watching Coronation Street

Anyone who's from Manchester, or lives in or around the city, knows the rivalry and how deep-set it is. Mancunian rags play along with the whole indifference thing with those from Ireland and Singapore as it's expedient to so do.

One thing about that thread is they seem to think we're all really angry. It isn't anger that they see, but vindication mixed in with a little self-righteousness. Much more enjoyable emotions. To follow your club through the divisions, stick by them, and end up where we have, after all their remorseless mocking (even though they weren't bothered about us) feels better than they ever can or will following their club. It's almost indescribable. We're simply having a fucking ball following our club these days and part of that enjoyment is giving it back to them with interest.

We're not angry, but rather we're enjoying the view and laughing at those who thought they'd forever be looking down at us.

Fucking rag cnuts :-)
 
I watched their Fulltimedevils preview for the weekend.

We've already had some classics: Memphis seriously being compared to Ronaldo after the Bruges home game, and the rehabilitation of Rooney after the away leg.

I thought their manager and Woodward would be getting an absolute slating for a farcical transfer window, but they seem relatively content.

How can you go into the season with one experienced striker in Rooney - who needs to play deep to get space - and still have the issue of De Gea's future unresolved?

Difficult game for Utd at Swansea. Utd difficult to beat now, but create few chances. Must be the most boring team in the Premiership to watch.

United wouldn't be where they are now without the common decency of Manchester City, you couldn't say it's ever been the other way round.

Forever in their shadow they said, it's not really taken that long to step out of it. It's a well run juggernaut in bringing cash into their coffers, when it comes to spending it they really make some bad decisions.

I don't get how a club with that type of income can be lumbering into one mistake after another. Look at Moyes, look at Turtle head, look at paying 300k a week to a striker who's as potent as a 90 year man trying to have sex. Look at Tia Maria, someone must have known from day one he didn't want to be there but they went head long into the transfer to keep the Rag hordes believing they were back.

Look at Falcao, desperate for another shirt seller they looked the other way when the medical results came through.

They are back to being a nothing club like they were in the 80s when big Ron was in charge. No fear of the shirt when you see it, no fear of the team sheet when it's announced. It didn't take long for the piss cans work to be eroded away.

Good post GDM your loathing for them is very commendable.
 
Sad to see no one has called the scum cunts yet on this page. Now it seems we have pretty much wrapped up or own transfer business it would be nice to see us putting in a cheeky 10m bid for De gae as cover for Joe and generally trying to fuck up and inflate their last minute panic deals a la Berbatov. Wankers

It's more contempt than loathing, mate ;-)

Is this contempt now displayed with a condescending sneer whenever anything Rag-like is mentioned? I practise my sneering every morning before breakfast, then refine it throughout the day, when discussing football. By bedtime the Mrs tells me my face is locked in a rictus that she remembers as being akin to lustful intentions long since avoided.
 
It's a bizarre situation really because all of the match going Mancunian Man U fans I know actually hate the 'hangers on' and particularly the Cockney Reds. Similarly, the Cockney Reds know they're hated by the Mancunians but seem to enjoy the contempt and notariaty it brings.
