Where do I start with this one?
We’ve had untold success that we are unlikely to ever repeat.
We’ve broken countless records.
We’ve seen the best ever Premier league team, indeed football league team with a four peat.
Treble winners, Centurions, the list goes on.
Top scoring premier league player.
Goalkeeper with the most golden glove awards.
A midfielder winning Balon D’Or.
Yet some of our fan base has become the epitome of everything we mocked our neighbours for. I’m not an avid social media user but my lad has shown me some of the nonsense being posted. Some absolute tools out there. We don’t need them, don’t want them and I’m fed up of these ridiculous comments, ‘expectations have changed’, ‘don’t keep dwelling on the past’, ‘you need to keep improving’, blah, blah, blah.
‘Influencers’ put them in the bin.
‘You tubers’ majority of them, put them in the bin.
I’ve seen the good, the bad and the downright bloody ugly.
And I’ll tell you what, I won’t slag my manager or team off after a couple of iffy results.
Get a bloody grip. Get behind the team, do exactly what you’re professing to be, a supporter, in good times and bad times and we’ve seen plenty of those.
So many threads, on here, with very entitled posts. Yes, we’re all allowed to have differing opinions but just a sense of perspective would be appreciated at times.
Certainly from those of us that are a little longer in the tooth. It’s old fashioned I know, probably will get a pile on for it but hey, just felt it needed saying.
Come on you blues.

Mate, it’s exactly because it’s so rare we lose now, that when it does happen it generates so much comment.
The team have had criticism when they lose for as long as you and I have been supporters. Supporters do criticise.

Don’t let it get you down. I know what you mean about some of the extreme stuff, but I try to let it wash over me.

If you had a group of just ten people at random, you’d likely get one or two with stupid opinions.

Take that number up to an entire football fanbase and there’ll be tens of thousands of the fuckers.

Our fanbase is no different to any other (some people like to think we are, but we really aren’t and never have been and never will be), so we’ll have fucking shit loads of fans with stupid opinions.

In the age of social media, you take it all with a pinch of salt n’all. The majority of people on social media solely say things to get reactions. They might not even really think what they say or post, but they get people talking and interacting with their profile by saying it and it raises their profile.

Look at the Forest fan from Nottingham called Brent (who even had a Freudian slip a few weeks ago, talking about being a kid going to the City Ground and he quickly corrected himself, ‘ahem, I mean Old Trafford’) he is just an actor playing the role of a United fan called Mark. Even our fans and good posters on here believe in his act and think he’s really a bloke called Mark who supports United.
