Re: They win the league, nobody cares

I don't see the problem, I've been used to them winning trophies most of my life.

Congratulations Man United.

Good luck next season (you'll need it)

This is the difference. You won't see posts like this on Ragcafe. Never.

All this petty shit acting like it doesn't bother you.
Defeat is a lesson learnt... we will come back stronger.

Re: They win the league, nobody cares

I care. In fact I'm gutted. It's been an undeniably pathetic title defence. The only saving grace is that it's been a considerable improvement on our previous attempts to defend the title!

Re: They win the league, nobody cares

i care more that we handed it them last august. the lack of decent signings meant we stood no chance. in fact we've done really well finishing with the points total we have. add the cup and i'm pretty chuffed.

Good post

Any champions deserve all the plaudits they get it

i doubt i'll see the hammers win the league in my life time, but i dream of it because its the major trophy - if no one cared then football would have little interest.

Well done City last year ( Aguero goal one of the greatest moments in premiership history )

Well done United this year for dominating one of the hardest leagues

Re: They win the league, nobody cares

Of course people will care.

RVP will been seen as a masterstroke and to their credit they didn't rely on Scholes return to carry them through either.

It's their 20th title that's a big achievement, it will be portrayed as a fitting season. An a great achievement coupled with taking a title back from their nearest rivals. Trust me, this is how it will go.

I care too, I care that we squandered any chance of keeping it with draws. Whilst some were proud of unbeaten it was papering cracks. We have to set up to win, not to not concede. A solid backline is needed don't get me wrong but when you have a lineup as good as our we need to be top heavy in setup so we get the most out of a collective unit.

IMO our undoing has been lack of quality squad option, little pace and also a deep midfield. We need to bring in athleticism in CDM position and we need a solid left sided player. Nothing woudl make me happier than to go for Mascherano (bench player at Barca) and Bale (talking £70m for both imo). Those two would perfect our side imo. After that quality younger players to boost squad options and cover.

I think we need a big summer and we need two players to upgrade our starting eleven and then we need 3-4 players to boost squad depth and quality. After that I'd trim players who are expensive side options who don't justify their wage.

I think we will win it again next year with a change of tactics and shake up of squad.

Can't disagree with any of that, mate.
The irony of folks lining up to tell us how little they care about us relinquishing the title does, however, raise a smile, even after yesterday's capitulation.
Because if you really don't care about conceding the title to our fiercest rivals, then I think it may well be time to have a quiet word with yourself.

Bitter Reds

Anyone else encountering bitter rag's today?

At a time when they should be clebrating a great achievement of winning 20 league titles, all a lot of them seem to be doing is talking about City and how carp we apparently are?

So far today I've been told how we have only been champions for a pathetic 344 days.!

How Huddersfild have won the same amount of titles as us!

That were the next Blackburn!

Manchini will be sacked in the summer!

How we have been put in our place!

How we will always be 'little old Citeh' (the look on said rags face when I pointed out that we are refered to as 'Citeh' due to manc accents' was priceless. Irony is wasted on these clowns)!

And how we will now always be refered to as one season wonders!

I honestly think that they are more excited by the fact that we are not winning the league rather than that they are!

I just keep responding with the following, 'What a MASSIVE mentality you have got'


Obsessed aint the word!

Cheers.

I think people are consoling theselves with delusion to be frank mate. Not acring about our rivals lifting up their 20th league title which is won after we won it. They can see 'we made the twentieth special, we took it back from that lot' etc. It's horrible, just horrible. The only way to take the shine off their season was to win at their place (done) and to win the FA Cup.

I'm distraught at how we effectively gave the title up with not so much as a whimper. Fuck sakes, how can people not be bothered, I'm devastated!

Re: Bitter Red's?

All I've been saying is after what we did to them last season we've felt so sorry for them that we've let them have the title this season but next season we won't be so generous.

Re: Bitter Red's?

Well what else do you expect?
We never even gave them a run for their money - they had it won before Christmas in reality. Our pathetic defense of OUR title means we are open to such abuse until at least the start of next season.
We have brought it on ourselves.
