United Thread 2015/16

Can't wait for Fernandinho to be nipping on their toes and Silva jinking in and out, Yaya using his big arse to bosh them away, will be like the English version of Takeshi's Castle.

Without sounding like I've got my red tinted specs on, and I'm being totally honest here. I have watched Schweinsteiger this season more than any other player, and he has controlled the midfield in every single game. People are saying that he's not mobile and he's finished, but yet there he is covering every blade of grass, always available for a pass, getting tackles in and jumping for every header. You may say that he will struggle to keep that up for an entire season, but so far he's been superb. We used to get over-run in midfield by mid-table sides, but it stopped dead as soon as he pulled on a shirt. I'm not saying that he's the German Messi, but he is quality.

Quite simply, United did not control the midfield against Swansea – and Schweinsteiger's distribution in that game was pretty poor... awful at times.
Without doubt he was a quality player, but if he was still capable of playing at the very top of his game there is no way Bayern would have let him go. He'll have to be used very sparingly by Turtle, as will Carrick – I personally think both will end up on the treatment table very soon!
The rags may very well have had the better of a few teams in the PL this season, but let's be honest - the teams you've played so far have been very poor... the best team you've played are Swansea... and they couldn't beat Watford at weekend... and Watford looked poor against us!
As others have said, let's see how your ageing midfielders do when Silva, Fernandinho, Yaya, Sterling, Navas etc. are buzzing around them, zipping passes about... Schweinsteiger and Carrick have the turning circle of an oil tanker!

Well , we won ours against Everton.

Haha that is bold.

Southampton have been horrible this season, struggling to score or create. I see 3 points there. 3 points against Sunderland. They almost always beat Arsenal, no matter how rubbish they are, a draw perhaps though given form. Everton/CP will be tough matches but still 4 points I imagine. We should obviously beat them, but derby anything can happen & will depend on who's fit etc. I see them getting 10-12 points from the 6 games. Would love you to be right though.

I would be perfectly happy for the scruffy twats to get 10-12 points while we are getting 18!

Fuck me I've read some tripe from you gobshites but this is the winner.
And true to form, out the the woodwork when you win.
How you lot can call us bitters is laughable.
Doesn't surprise me though, all that 34 years of goading and piss taking and laughing at us taken out in one shot by Kun.
You lot don't know whether to stick or twist with citeh anymore and I love it.
And don't reply with your verbal diarrhoea flower I ain't interested.
You keep posting on here and keep calling us bitters.
Fuckin hilarious.

Didn't you get the memo? PR dept. says the rags aren't really relevant to us anymore so we went and found another club within 50miles with whom we have a little acrimonious 'istree but who aren't quite a real threat. This way we can manufacture a new rivalry to peddle, one in which we will usually come out on top, thus extending our myth and damaging our old rivals that we're not really obsessed with.
