United thread 2013/14 part 2.

Re: United thread 2013/14

Without following Bob's posting history closely, I think how he has been treated in this thread is diabolical.

I remember a few posters on here having a go, making claims when the Champions league away fixtures were scheduled to have a premier league away fixture follow.

He's put a point across, and as it doesn't go with the grain he has been ridiculed to the point of people getting personal.

So are people not allowed to go against the grain now and post unbiased views? Or are we slowly descending to a Manchester City - North Korea style dictatorship on here?

Bob thrives on being controversial.

I do disagree with personal stuff though and have made that point on other threads.

Re: United thread 2013/14

Let me get this perfectly straight in my head.

In 2011 when the fixtures were announced, and we discovered that we were going to be away after every Champions' League group game, it was because the FA were trying to stop us from winning the league.

In 2012 when United were away after Champions' League fixture it was scarcely mentioned on here.

Now in 2013 and Moyes is suggesting that the FA might have given them a difficult start to the season because of how far ahead they were last season, it's complete bullshit and the FA are an honest organisation that don't attempt to sabotage anybody's bid for the title?

You can see why I think this is a little ridiculous, can't you? I can't wait for nobody to reply to this.

As a general rule, on a Manchester City forum, people are going to be biased toward Manchester City. Congratulations for unearthing this shocking fact. But there is no "we." There is no official line of thought. Although disliking your consistently unpleasant tone and desire to expose the hypocrisy of everyone else might be the one issue we can all unite around.

Oh, the big guns are well and truly out now.

Considering I was unfairly accused of attempting to stir trouble last night, I thought I'd purposely stir trouble in a place I knew would get a reaction. And yes I can hear you, and the others, eager to let me know how much of a "sad arse" I am and that I "need to get laid more", but I've figured that trying to avoid being utterly contemptible hasn't worked because of the problem the rest of the forum seems to have with someone that offers an impartial view, so from now on I'm just going to pop up and annoy people until I get bored or banned.

I'm sure we will hang on your every word.

Your opening sentence negates the rest.

And he has no point if he thinks that fans and managers should be viewed the same, nor that it is hypocritical unless he finds the individual quotes taking the piss out of Moyes AND bemoaning City's fixtures from the same individual. Then again a football fan being hypocritical in support of their team would hardly be news.

Lastly he has already stated that he is simply trying to wind people up in the last few pages which makes your defence of him, whilst touching, foolhardy.

Yes. With me playing the role of the "Dear Leader".

Bilbo, I'd understand the hate if maybe he goes on every thread to take the opposite view (and there have been a few of those members in the past). Also if he is doing it purposefully on more controversial topics to this one.

But this is about the minor topic of football fixtures, and people are getting personal. Not good to see and brings the forum down IMHO.

perhaps you need to read the bit in bold mancmakem

"I hope it's not because Manchester United won the league quite comfortably last year [that] the fixtures have been made much more difficult".

OMFG, what does he mean by this?
