United Thread 2014/15

[blue b4 the moon]

From looking at those figures its almost heading towards shit or bust.

The Tick Tock phase has now passed and they're heading for the 'for who the bell tolls' period with a very badly balanced team, idiots in charge of the players, no transfer plan whatsoever and a big gamble in the January window where they will need to spunk a load more dosh on the midfield and defense when there's no value in the market.

Any rags had better buckle up. Going to be bumpy as fuck come the summer.

Unfortunately there's a bent load of old fuckers at the fa that will make sure that very soon they will be representing england again in the champs lge you just wait and see some of the worst ref's decisions they get in there favour!

They do seem to get quite a few less 'favours' these days (please God don't make me out to be speaking too soon) the bacon fear that the shitheads had has gone. It'll be all about the brown envelopes now if it starts again.

They are years away from challenging for the title. Years!
A real scattergun approach to player recruitment with no apparent strategy to back it up.

We blues do have a collective, painful history of them always coming through - that series of last minute winners in derbies a few years back.

But that was Fergies utd. It pains me to say it but he was a genius. He got bang average players to do extraordinary things.
Players that he won the league with by 11points are all of a sudden not good enough.

There is major surgery needed to that squad, and spunking a few hundred million on a load of left backs isn't the answer.

Another year without CL will royally screw them over.

Tick fuckin tock.

did i read somewhere van galling is making the bog brush a major part of his team?

they are skint.

They should be winning the league for the money they've spent. Talk of them not finishing in the top 4 is unrealistic

Last 4 years net spending
Utd: Between 270m and 350m
City: Between 90m and 120m

Fuck me, against the backdrop of the press' narrative on our spending, anyone who genuinely thinks that there isn't, broadly speaking, an innate bias in the media when it comes to the reporting on united vs City has to be bordering on the clinically insane.

No they are sane, we are all paranoid loons; at least that's what I've read from impartiality'r'us

 

[yeah whatever !!]

I think there could be an upset at the swamp this weekend and the scum will win.

Butthead told by the board that he must get at least 3rd this year.

Or else what?

Nothing like taking the pressure off, eh? Hee hee :))))))))

Can't post the link from my tablet, but read last night a United fan died after being assaulted by a couple of City fans in town following a row over football. Nobody been caught yet according to the report, (which was in last nights MEN). A father of 4. Absolutely fucking shit, that.
RIP that man, and let's hope the shit heads who ran off after decking him get caught.
That. Over football. *shakes head*

Its a shame I agree, to die over footy banter is ludicrous.

Seems, on the face of it, to bear all the hallmarks of a 'one punch manslaughter'. A situation in which there are no winners, not least the family of the deceased and something folk should try and remember when tensions are escalating in a social environment. Many lives can be ruined in the blink of an eye, often caused by someone with little or no previous history of violence.

Absolutely awful way to die, especially over something that is, in spite of all the time it consumes in our lives, is just a game.

My heart goes out to his family. RIP.

The older I've become, the more I see the consequences of such things like this, things which seem nothing but can end up in absolute tragedy. As you say, no winners at all.
