United 2016/17

[mrbelfry]

Amazing how many united fans are claiming some kind of success after yesterdays game - "Yay we didn't get battered!" No wonder they put on a performance like last night if not being smashed was the full extent of their ambition. Somehow we've been fooled into thinking united are plucky underdogs despite having the bigliest squad of footballers ever.

They basically played like a non-league team - roughing up the better team and hoping to catch a bit of luck when the chelsea defenders fell asleep watching their team dominate only Lincoln had more of a go at it. For the Costa free header that he should have buried you can see the united centre halfs so intent on fouling the players they are marking that they don't even see Costa making the run. The funny thing is it is the united fans that are being mugged off. They should be demanding better. Huff and puff will only get you so far despite how the media overstate those qualities. At least they tried seems to be the positive message coming from them when trying should be the bare minimum. And at least they tried to do what? Trying to not lose is very different than trying to win. The game has moved on and left that shower behind.

But what at the end of the day could we really expect? After all they have that crucial game at home against those european giants Rostov in a couple of days. A game that they have an away goal advantage in. Whatever happens I hope united fans can come away knowing that at least they tried. When your football is dominated by fear and not by freedom then just trying seems like bravery.

It is both ridiculous and hilarious listening to United fans come up with so many pathetic and different excuses as to why Pogba is playing crap....they haven't reached the 90 million mark yet though!!!!!?????.

Another gem from Sad Cafe (comedy gold);

"Rojo was the clear MOTM for me with De Gea just behind but losing player's don't count obviously in TV land".

Try telling that to Danny Murphy.

He has played to much, he had no pre season, he needs to be in a midfield 3 exactly 3.7 yards to the west of the centre circle with 2 awesome mids next to him.

That hard facts are even though utd are not as good as Juve this fella has not been missed by them at all. He has at best been poor this season and it seems he needs two world class mids next to him to look good. He barely moves half the time and seems totally indifferent to if they win or lose. So far he has been a fraud tbh and that is a totally fair call blue specs or not.

I'm having that one. Biggest and ugliest? ;-)

Can we all start calling Pogbas fee as £120m. I'm not having this £90m nonsense the media tell us. We all know they paid the agent tens of millions to get him. Without that, he wouldn't have gone. He cost them much more than £90m. Which makes it all the funnier.

Did Carlton play last night? If he did he contributed absolutely fuck all to the game.

The rags will quibble and argue that he didn't cost £100 million (they'll claim it's under £85 million or whatever, but with add-ons, bonuses and the like it's definitely north of £99 million). And even the most delusional, brain-washed rag would have to say for that sort of money he's been an abject failure - and if they won't admit it then they truly have taken up full-time residence in cloud cuckoo land.
To say he's been ineffective so far this season is as big an understatement as saying Messi looks like a decent player who might turn out to be pretty good.

The rags have seriously screwed up with this, the latest in a long line of expensive failures. But as ever, our partisan media have once again failed to castigate them in any way for their sheer recklessness in the transfer window.

From Sad Cafe;

"It's a stamp same as Mings and just as intentional anyone says different is as deluded as a city fan on blue moon forum".

Wow.

Deluded though? The cheek of it......

Cheeky twats. As an aside, when we've battered Barcelona 7-0 in the Champions League final, will Gael Clichy be eligible for the Ballon d'Or?

And OMFG, we were all for signing him, me included. It would have been the dud of all duds. Although admittedly, he would have had better players around him, were he to have ended up with us.

I can't believe you predict 7-0. It will be 9-0 to us, minimum. They'll be forgetting there ever was a Lionel Messi when they get to see Delph play .. and score his hattrick.
