United Thread 2015/16

[shallyman]

What a load of bollox. You've fallen out of love with football because your teams shit and you can't take it. City fans have had to take shit from you lot for years. Ever since Ferguson bought you your first Premier League title we've had to listen to - "this is how it feels to be City", Bitters, Council House, "Are you City in disguise", Wastelands etc. Now it's our turn to lord it and you lot are playing the football isn't what it used to be crap. United fans have always been shit supporters and now your proving it. Why don't you man up and admit it's time for you lot to back your team through the bad times.

Hiya...maybe you missed the post where I mentioned we've moved? I have a friend who has 2 season tickets in the main stand at Old Trafford. One for him and one for his wife. His wife never goes, so he sends a group text out a week before a game and asks who wants to go. I can go to any game I want, but logistically it's a pain in the arse, with Kids as well. Went to a few midweek games last year, and stayed at my Mums, will probably do the same this year. I don't have a problem with it.

I see the derby as going one of three ways.
United play their best and we have an off day, resulting in a draw or narrow defeat for us.
We both play at our best, resulting in a similar score to when they played arsenal.
United play as they have for most of the season so far and we play at our best, resulting in total carnage for them.
Only in net do you have a comparable player. Every other position on the pitch, United are outgunned and inferior. I would have put Mata above Navas but De Bruyne is there now so that's that.

You're not taking into account the rags usual quota of ridiculous good fortune and/or favorable decisions from the fawning, starstruck officials... which renders how either team plays pretty irrelevant to be honest.

Or the usual 4th way with them:
We are by far the better team but they are allowed to kick and elbow us without any warnings from the rag ref where 1st tackles by us are yellow cards. Throw in some free kicks for dives by Young and a few awful offside decisions in their favour and if that isn't enough, chuck in a soft penalty. Probably be Oliver

I want us to stuff the rags for numerous reasons. The main one is this forum could be shallowman free for at least a few hours.

I don't even think that would be enough now if we approach the game to anything near what we are capable of.
The gulf is that large.
The ref would have to bend so far he'd be able to kiss his own arse.
When we play with the right attitude, no team in the league can cope with our midfield and attack. Take into account that we could be up against Carrick and swinefever in the middle and smalling and blind at the back, it could be a defining moment for them.
It could be a result where not even brendan rodgers tromboning mourinho in the central reservation on the m62 would keep it off the back pages.
