United thread 2013/14

Just one serious point amongst all the jokes. As a kid I was told the story about the boy who cried wolf, well perhaps the refs are effing sick of the rags diving all the time.
Jizzjaz was fouled but as it was the 15th time he had gone down in the match Webb booked him because in his own mind it was yet another dive.
Yes it was a penalty by Lloris but after 10 other dives in the box Webb took the cynical view, i.e. 'I am not going to be conned by this lot'

If you lie and cheat (and dive) eventually no one will believe you when you are genuinely fouled.


P.S. I am still laughing my socks off.

He's now the fourth highest player to be booked for diving in a single premier league season, all at the young age of 18. His parents must be so proud. You can guess one of the players ahead of him in that table too.

ladyboy, young and bale?

Young and Bale are two.. You'll do well to guess the leader I'd have thought.

If Moyes was at any other top European team he would have been sacked or on the verge by now, even if Swansea knock them out of the cup it wont even go down as a major shock

I googled it, fuck me wouldn't have guessed that in a million years although he played for one of the worst teams for it

I'm loving this very fucking minute, I've waited a long time, it's been shit been a City supporter through the hard times looking at them bastards across the road, and now it's all coming to bite them in the arse, since the pisscan has gone no one, refs or other teams are afraid of them. I think they will finish 7th if lucky, even if they buy big this month it will take time for those to adapt and they've only got 4 months. They certainly won't be available for CL and I can see them losing that as well, RVP will be in and out as he was for most of his time at Arsenal. The Galaziers are going to have to drop £200 million to get them anywhere near competing on all fronts and he's certainly not going to do that, the derby at old Trafford can't come soon enough but hopefully we can humiliate them at Wembley before that in front of a world wide audience.

• He's never won a real trophy, and more so, never even looked like he might.
  
  He's never had a team playing attractive attacking football.
  
  He bought an absolutely useless player. One we didn't need. One who doesn't suit our style of football. He paid way over the odds.
  
  He ballsed up every transfer this summer. Went for all the wrong players. He went for players like Fabregas knowing he would never stand a chance of signing him but ONLY to make the fans think he knew what he was doing.
  
  He got rid of arguably the best back room staff in the world and bought in Phil Neville & Chris fucking Woods. People say that DM needed to surround himself with people he trusted!! Here is the thing, it cannot be to the detriment of the club.
  
  He has us playing the worst football I've seen in 25 years.
  
  He has broken all sorts of records... all the wrong ones.
  
  He has us sitting in 7th after 20 games, less than a year after winning the league.
  
  Behind his former club, who are currently showing that they were being held back by Moyes' crappy tactics.
  
  He hasn't picked a proper starting eleven because he still doesn't even know what that is. For a premier league manager this is a fucking joke.
  
  Pellegrini plays better football and he was available. Guardiola was available. Dare I say it, so was Mourinho.
  
  Any manager that actually wants Darren Gibson in the center of his midfield after seeing how long we gave him at United is the wrong man.
  
  His answer to our problems ATM? Ashley fucking Young. One of Ferguson's worst signings.
  
  He absolutely will not attract ANY big name players to our club. No-one wants to play for David "who"? Moyes.
  
  Zero Champions League experience.
  
  We needed a proven winner (just like Sir Alex was when he joined United), not someone who has done 'a decent job' with Everton.
  
  He brings absolutely zero quality to the table. Not one single redeeming feature.
  
  Swansea, Birmingham City, Wigan....... all of them won trophies with worse teams and a smaller budget than Everton.
  
  This could be like when Busby retired and picked McGuinness to take over, he lasted six months and Busby had to come back. Then six months later we got Frank O Farell as manager and he didn't last long either. They failed because they just kept on playing the same old players and as we all know, it ended with us getting relegated. This really should have been number 20, as it's the last title we're going to win for a while.

We probably need to start a petition to keep Moyes in.

Which of our players would Bluemooners want to back heel the goal to send the Scum down to the Championship next season?

All of them but if Hart did it that would be so funny.

Tevez unfortunately :(
But out of the current crop, Gael 'never scored a goal' Clichy or Hart would be funniest.

Jokes aside. RvP probably has peaked and may not matter after a season or two. But Rooney still has some years left at the top, if he is son keen to go during ferguson's charge, surely he wants to jump ship now. From the looks of things, it is going to get worse before it gets better and I'm not sure he wants to wait for that
