The rag at work has been holiday for two weeks - we have a lot to discuss when he gets back!
You could always edit your initial post.As I said on page 1 (that is now page 4 for some bazar reason), an awful man for an awful club with awful fans. They all deserve each other.
I could've sworn he was a page 3 kinda guy ...You could always edit your initial post.
'Hey guys, I'm on page 4' haha.
If you look at the actual stats - the raggy scum (not including last weeks horror) had won a combined total of 31 league titles/FA cups since 1908.Edited slightly.
Sick of all this "It's not The Manchester United WayTM" bollox when referring to how they always play. It was the Govan Piss Can's Way of playing. Their subsequent managerial appointments of The Moyesiah, The Tactical Turtle and now The PEG, none of whom have ever been associated with that 'way" being evidence that the Club doesn't have any actual grasp of the concept. Maybe because it's just bollox.
Every club, especially its fans aspire to free flowing attacking football. But if pragmatism wins you stuff then suddenly that's all forgotten about. But some clubs fans cling on to the myth that it was them alone who invented such a thing and it's only their clubs that insist on their teams playing in that nebulous way. Maybe it's true of some fans of all clubs but for sure at the rags and certainly the red scouse it's become an illness.
The United Way really is more about hyperbole and hysteria. This has certainly been a trait dating back to at least the 50s because my dad, who was one who used to go watch both when they were squatting at Maine Road, said that there was always more a sense of hysteria during the rag home games that he really didn't like, or buy into, but which was obviously attractive to some of the weaker minded City fans of the time who deserted us for them and swelled their fanbase of even more "glory" hunters. (They use that word a lot, "Glory", but I don't think I've really ever heard a City fan use it...?) The events of Feb 6th 1958 only served to help the myth and legend grow in the minds of them all. It wasn't just a tragedy, it was a huge opportunity and they took it whilst simultaneously adopting The Devil as their emblem. Delightful.
"The Theatre of Dreams"??? What's wrong with "Old Trafford"?
"He doesn't play the manchester united way" What's wrong with just saying that he hasn't brought the success that we wanted (champions league football) and we think the next guy will give us a better chance? That's basically what most other clubs say. They don't feel the need to talk about a singular tradition and style... But this lot do.
Hyperbole and hysteria. That's The United Way.
Exactly this ...That is the myth and legend of 'the United way' - it was the Ferguson way, and that way will never return.
Absofuckinglutely.It can never be worse than it was. At the very least we are competitive, which is all I wanted during the dark times. Beating them when they think they're good will be even sweeter.
Has he?If you look at it from that perspective, the future looks even brighter: every club Mourinho left, he left behind in disarray. If you keep in mind he never stays anywhere longer than 3 seasons, you can be certain that City has the future. Man U may have the money for now, but they seem willing to spend it asap, without much planning going into it. That won't last...

Fucking half-baked homunculus.Scholes is chatting again.

Mmm. I thought Hose-eh? managed chelsea against leicester last season. Must have dreamt it.Sky......Ranieri is on about other managers also,but Sky only want to mention Mourinho.....first line.
RANIERI ANTICPATING TOUGH CHALLENGE
Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri is anticipating a tough challenge to retain his title now Jose Mourinho is taking over Manchester United...
"Next season it will be aother fantastic one because Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte have arrived. It will be very tough. We can fight but we are underdog. The fairytale happened once and we want to defend the title, but it will be hard. But we are not scared."
Just us two, by the looks of things.Thanks for that :-) Another Marx Bros fan.
Me three. Adore the Marx Bros. Watched 'Duck Soup' only the other night again.Just us two, by the looks of things.
I really like you.Dragging this out as long as they can to get as much exposure as they can the fucking parasites.
This mob long since stopped being a football club. The ex players lining up to tell the world how great they are have basically prostituted themselves for a few quid. The northern hacks who won't have a bad word said wherever it's to do with the shambolic sacking of LVG, the bomb threat which has been aptly swept under the carpet or their players making cunts of themselves are doing the same, the absolute nobheads who follow them who wouldn't have touched the cunty one with a barge pole before are now singing his praises and putting him above Guardiola.
Welcome to The Swamp. Perfectly fitting name for a cesspit of a club. Can't fucking wait to finish ahead of them again next time around.
poor geordie must have gotten quite a bit of stick!!Bang in the middle, 9 lads in here - 3 rags, 4 city fans, 1 newcastle and one gay.

and gays don't support football clubs? haha
Has he?
I don't like Mourinho but Chelsea won more titles after he left including the Champions League. Ancelotti won the Champions league with Real straight after he left.
He might be a prize twat and the end of his rein there is often discord, but the teams he leaves behind are certainly not all bad.
