United Thread 2014/15

Alistair Cambell got bacon face his knighthood. He's a close friend of the gpc.

I stand corrected. Campbell's also a fucking rag isn't he?

Either way, the twat didn't deserve it.

Campbells a Burnley fan.

So he is. My mistake.

I also add my name to the list condemning the killing of the utd fan. We all hate them, but there's a limit FFS. Ridiculous, needless and totally out of order. My sympathies to his poor family. RIP

Just had a look on ragcafe for the first time in weeks. I haven't seen them this animated since "why always me"
They are furious about home grown Uefa ruling. Its a joy to read.

it is quite predicable how the ill informed can jump onto a badly written article and animation always follows...

Yep they just read inaccurate headlines from their armchairs and believe it as gospel.

Finding myself laughing at the hoo-haa hype about Tyler Blackett, the next yoof off the production line and how he's getting a chance (thanks to the united way and turtle head's philoshofee) and staying in the team on merit.

Alternatively, it could be said that:

He's getting a chance - because they are desperate and haven't got anyone better available.
He's staying in the team on merit - because the rest of them are so crap.


The line I keep seeing trotted out as some kind of magic mantra is that HE'S PLAYED EVERY GAME DON'CHA KNOW? - yes, every one of the four against substantially 'weaker' clubs in which the rags have yet to find a win, proving... errr, just how good he is???

Though I'm not one to assume their demise is fully embedded yet (hope, hope) nor that it will get any worse (please in the name of all that is good and holy!) the current carry on bears so many of the hallmarks of the times when we had to mindlessly cling on to any glimmer of hope, regardless of how ridiculous it may have appeared to an objective onlooker.

I sincerely hope that I have spotted the pattern correctly and that this is just the beginning of a long, painful period for them.

I'm not overly impressed by him tbf. He was gash on loan at Brum last year. We'll see how he does but i reckon he's there purely because he's left footed. Rojo will surely come in for him when fit.

I heard from a very reliable journalist years ago that Neil Webb was dropped and sold when he contacted England to tell them he was fit, after being withdrawn from the squad by ferguson.

I'm guessing that your journalist friend never actually saw Neil Webb play for United. If he had, he'd know that the real story is how in fuck's name Webb was even in the England squad.

You haven't sussed out that it is PRECISELY the reason he played for the Rags that he got into the England squad?

Me and a friend were talking about the number of players who, had they not played for the Rags, would get anywhere near the England squad. Just a few names to start with - feel free to add more.

Bill Foulkes
Mike Duxbury
Brian Greenhoff
Stuart Pearson
Webb
Mike Phelan (called up the day he signed for them)
Phil Chuckle
Tom (Zidane) Cleverley
Phil Jones
Zaha
Smalling
Wellbeck
etc ad nauseam

Just a VERY small selection of the many who have gone on to (ahem) distinguished England careers, with the media fawning over them because of this. And, of course, when players of clubs (such as City, in paticular, James Milner) are mentioned, it is usually in a derisive manner.

I will also never forget the comments of Billy Bingham, the former Norn Iron manager, who said of Sammy McIlroy "If he's good enough to play for M...... U...... , he's good enough to play for NI".

Says it all, really.

Beckham, if ever a player was over rated it was this twat.

Zaha is the ultimate example.

Soon as he signed he was in the England squad.

Is it fact that barrels make fish more bitey? ;)
