Fair enough mate, just don’t come on here being all contrary.

Phew. Wow. Low whistling noise. Pots and kettles.

Quite right mate.

It saddens me that some brain dead morons actually seem to hate United more than they care about hungry children.

Marcus Rashford is one of the finest examples of what a modern footballler should be, more than virtually any other out there.

THe lad is a modern day hero. He really should be knighted asap.

Can't be having that - I'm sure we could all name plenty of people more worthy of being awarded that title (if that's your thing).............

For all you Yaya Toure admirers; I've stumbled upon an interview you might like to read:

Born Leader - The Coaches Voice

Came across quite well actually(if those are his own words) and I wish him well, could be entertaining as a manager.

I wouldn't swap our history for all the tea in China. It's as interesting as any club's and I'm not so crippled by crushing insecurity that it has to be solely rooted in the acquisition of trophies.

Me neither, g. Since '55 I've been included.

The entire modern noveau football fan’s equating of history to mean trophies began with Liverpool fans at the turn of the Millennium and was originally aimed at Chelsea following the Abramovich takeover.
Not only were these entitled melts mortified at seeing league titles suddenly being racked up by a club they traditionally considered beneath them while their own empire crumbled, they were further triggered by their home town hero Gerrard agreeing to move to Stamford Bridge, only to later change his mind after being pressured by organised crime figures in the city.
Thus their “You aint got no history” song was born and belted out whenever they played Chelsea.
It was all they had left.
Nonetheless, it was a message and position that would be amplified by compliant client journalists and the explosion of social media and online football outlets and forums, and thus adopted by other fading redshirt establishment fanbases as their complacency and decadence meant they could no longer compete on the field of play.
When City came along, it was the final straw. And not only with trophies.
For Gerrard to Chelsea, read Sterling, Tevez, Adebayor and Nasri to City. And unlike Chelsea, we got our men.
The supporters of LFC, united and Arsenal - the three clubs who were responsible for the very invention and concept of the plastic, glory hunting modern TV fan - suddenly decided that not only was the past another country, but it was better than the one they now found themselves living in.
And they all had their former players and media mouthpieces onside.
Like Les McLeod, the ‘Creme Brulee’ one hit wonder has been from The League of Gentlemen, they preferred living in a rose-tinted version of the past rather than accepting the grim reality of their present and the unpromising outlook of their future. To paraphrase Les, “Remember when my team was good? Football, its a shit business isn’t it?”....
Notwithstanding its factual inaccuracy in all aspects, as the recent FA Cup trophy documentary has demonstrated, ‘No history’ says more about them than about City. It is an entitled, embittered and terrified howl into the void. The death rattle of dinosaurs.

Great post, extra points for the LOG reference... but only 1 because it's Les "McQueen!, There's arses need wiping!".

Anyone seen the daily Mail today, the rags haven’t even played Burnley yet and they are talking like they are already top and have won the game. Setting them up for a fall?

That's Legohead's team talk sorted then.
Personally i think they'll get a result which will send their giddy lemmings into a full on wankfest which will make it all the funnier when it all turns to shit.
If they happen to lose, we can laugh at them a little bit sooner.
Either way, the Rag loving Fail has set them up for a fall and it's win win.

Taking the league off the rags and the dippers all in one go could be our greatest yet if we keep playing the way we are at the moment.

Yes, low whistling noise indeed.

A knock off version of Hooters was opened on Deansgate, think it was called Teasers and it died a slow lingering death.

Not sure how, each trip to the bar cost my 18 year old self about fifty notes
