United (A) Post Match Thread

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

It’s amazing pal that they should have to put up with that. Hats off to all our players and staff for their dignity and restraint. I know someone who is a director level person at the scum, he or she isn’t responsible for security but I’m going to show him or her that video next time I see him.
Not sure if you’ve ever watched City at the swamp, I used to go every season but since stopping doing some many aways I haven’t been for 3 or 4 years as my loyalty points have been overtaken. But when you queue up to get into the away end they used to (and I presume still do) line you up against a wall, with a one deep line of coppers between the City fans and thousands of rags, with loads of insults and other stuff flying across. One time I fear there will be a surge of rag fans towards the City fans and a 1980s style disaster in the cards. In this day and age that kind of risk exposure is fucking pathetic.

Everything about that club is classless, them and the red dippers. And the way the media pander to them is fucking disgusting.

This. Another accounting principle ignored - and a big health and safety one too. Remove the opportunity, remove the risk.

Considering the current angst and childish inability of many rags to avoid following the pack mentality, (‘everyone doing it so it’s alright’) plus the highly volatile nature of human emotion anyway, I’d say the risk grows hugely with every season.

I might also add that highlighting it to senior level figures might just be the way to get it changed - as the fact that it was raised to them in advance might finger them as being accountable for no action having been taken subsequent to any future catastrophe.

More often than not the ones we get are when games are already won. Doesn’t assist us but makes the stats look better

Exactly. Same with the yellow cards issued to the opposition once the game is already "over".

Getting hammered 4-1 to Watford today. That club is turning into the equivalent of retail failures like Woolworths and Debenhams... living in the past and arrogant to think they would lose their place in the high street elite.. living on their history as a big club.. fuck em I hope they end up in the bottom 6 where they belong

I have to say I felt a little bit for OGS during that torrid sky interview post match. Handled it very well and graciously under the circumstances. I hope when the camera stopped rolling he laid into that interviewer, forget the wankers name. He’s the worst I’ve ever listened too, a f**king low life. He didn’t say one positive question even though after that rag display it was hard to find one but still, he kept hammering him into the ground. Doubt the coward would’ve done that pisscan.

I’m still disappointed we only put two past the fuckers. Leicester and Watford four each, scousers five. We should have fucking smashed the bastards for six.

Yes I agree but it it was a slow torturous death wrapped in a masterclass. Sometimes that’s more enjoyable.

I feel like it was like a game of chess,we were the grandmaster playing a horrible little beginner nephew just trying to embarrass them for the full 90 minutes ..

Why are they so shit

Their arrogant fans have been tempting providence for 30 years. What goes round comes round.

Why are they so shit?

They aren't. Obviously they've had a few shit results but 7th isn't exactly Norwich or Newcastle territory is it?
They were hilariously bad after Christmas (as were the dippers) but they still ended up comfortably in second place. They also reach a final and a semi-final.
The point is that every player they buy is world class and the missing piece to the jigsaw. Every new midfielder is the player to release Pigbag, CRap7 was going to score the goals to win them the title, they've signed enough new Duncan Edwards and new George Bests to fill a fucking jumbo jet. The press refuse to accept their favourite click-bait club isn't top dog any more and want regular managerial sackings to give them something to write about so "crisis" is being runners up several times in a few years. OK, they've been miles behind us on a couple of occasions (mind the gap) but still comfortably second.
They are probably the second most successful team in terms of PL points over the past ten seasons, and they've picked up a few cups.
So they aren't shit overall even though they have been in a few games. They are shit by their standards during the Pisscan era and that is all. I can't be arsed checking but I'd guess the the last 8 seasons are on a par with, or better than, Busby's time as manager.
Some want them to win a few games so the gnome stays put. I'd prefer them to keep losing and have people blaming the set up a the club and the Pisscan's interference. That's more likely to put off any decent managers.
But if they pick the next manager with the same success rate as some of their player signings then things could get even funnier.
