United (A) Post Match Thread

[andyhinch]

Not had a chance to run through the thread but, having been to the game, there’s one thing I’ve got to credit the rags for. The walk towards the stadium and the area surrounding it is intimidating as fuck. They haven’t lost the old school feel in the surrounding area with the pubs and chippys on Matt Busby way.

Granted, it’s a side-product of their owners having zero interest in the redevelopment of the area (noticed a fair bit of wasteland and dereliction adjacent to the ground), but it’s a positive all the same.

I hate the walk in, I hate the walk out. Hasn’t changed in the 15 or so years since I first went to OT.

Loved the two hours inside though :-)

It’s over 40 since I first went, less violence these days tbh.

Cat v mouse, City far superior to the scum

Definitely at the Swamp (I think)

He missed one at home, last home match of the season when we had not scored since before January under Pearce.

City 0 United 1

THE desperate hunt for Manchester City’s first Premiership home goal since New Year’s Day goes on. The Blues were denied a late equaliser after striker Darius Vassell hit a spot-kick straight at United keeper Edwin Van der Sar’s leg. It meant their bitter rivals moved to within a point of the...

Touchel, Guardiola or Klopp would have them pushing 3rd easily, probably 2nd.

From bottom???? :)

I must have missed him inheriting David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Fernandinho and turning them into the greatest midfield trio the PL has ever seen.

I also think you may have missed the point I was making. It’s that Pep is the difference between us and the rest.

Of course he is - but I called you out on the stupid thing you said about the rag players: ie
I’d take Pogba, Fernandes, Greenwood, Rashford, Ronaldo, Sancho, Varane and Shaw if they were available for the right price. They’re all decent players


shaw? Sancho. Varanne. Pogba

Do be serious

Not many but the original question was about the squad. Most of them would get game time at City.

Yeah fucking Norwich City

I didn’t see any violence - in fact the worst I’ve seen was on Wembley Way after the 1-0 in the FA semi in 2011 - but it’s still a head down and go kind of place.

For better or worse, it’s totally opposite to the Etihad. Plenty of oppo fans will be milling around at the food stalls & round City Square.

It’s not the ‘modern’ way, but it’s unpleasant.

This post from Rag Cafe sums it up for me. How far they have fallen. They thought it wouldn't happen the arrogant twats and now it has-

"Didn't feel anger today. Just empty and a form of acceptance. That's what Utd have done to me. Seeing Ole line up with 7 defenders at home you just realize the objective is to try and not lose. Let that sink in. Try and not lose. Never mind try and win. We are Manchester United at home and we are trying not to lose. The club don't care. The owners don't care. The manager cares but he is shite. Today I felt no anger, no upset, nothing just acceptance"

Have that you rag twats. Have it.

You'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh.

They call us “Man City” and them “Manchester United”.

Wankers.
