Myths that need debunking

Big is beautiful.

Surely, that is not a “fashion” pic, but rather a pic that shows how far some have gone in believing the nonsense about such a self image?

Clearly, that young lady has a problem, which makes it appear to be a “fashion” picture used to point that out, is it not?
 
That United played aesthetically pleasing football under Fergie. Bar a few moments here and there, it was just very effective, 4-4-2, Allardyce-esque, bang-it-in-to-the-mixer-and-fill-the-box shite. I don’t blame them for playing like that because it won them a lot and they had the players for it. But ex-Trafford pundits seem to be repeating this myth more and more but 99% of neutrals who were around in the 90s and 00s know that Arsenal (among others) were rightly regarded as the better team to watch.

THIS.

I've been saying it for years... they never played cavalier, caution to the wind, attacking football under the pisscan (Except maybe in Fergietime when they were desperate for an equaliser or winner)

They defended deep and in numbers and their top priority was always to soak up pressure, prevent the opposition from playing then hit them on the break.

Full marks to any of the pisscan's sides for work rate and being very efficient and effective at taking their chances and converting shots-goals... but they were never a really attack minded side that played with flair.

Spot on. Absolute myth. They always played with a striker who contributed nowt to the team but goals, because they got the ball in the box for a 'tap in' merchant to score from half a yard.
They had two terriers (to be fair the ginger one and keane could play) who bullied the opposition and two big lads at the back!
Giggs/cantona/ provided the flair.
Oh and beckham is one of the most over-rated players ever! He was bolloxed if the ball was moving.
