United Thread 2015/16

See the old pisscan is telling the world he stepped down because of his wife's sister dying. Funny that because privately he told his close friends that it was after a huge row with Woodward over transfer budgets, He was told he could only spend £30m net after he'd set up a deal to bring Ronaldo back. So he walked, Moyes came in and they only spent £30m that summer.

Damage limitation exercise on his part methinks.

As I've said before I expect a lot of revelations about the GPC once he's shuffled off his mortal coil.

I can believe every word of that PB.

They'll get it. The ref will bend over for them just as the ref for us today didn't.

Ok I will start early this season reminding people its not about tomorrow its where we are in May - given the commitments in Europe and their squad the rags are not a long term issue this season - they are in the race for 4th place

The cocks on redcafe are having an absolute ball about us losing.
Fuckin priceless.
Bless em they must have been bursting at the seems to get their bitterness out since the start of the season.
VanGaalEra is the ringleader, he spends half his time on here pinching our quotes and scurrying back to sadcafe to dissect his findings.
It's not natural behaviour. ...very strange them rags.

 

[bluesoup]

Why doesn't van Gaal era sign up on here and have a reasoned debate with us. First question point out Moston and Wythenshaw on a map?

Gary James the City tour guide!! Was Gary James on the Stretford End in the 70's or 80's? Or the away end at Anfield as darts rained down, or being baton charged by Liverpool supporting coppers. You don't need to take my word or Gary James word for it. Just ask any United fan over the age of 45. This non rivalry nonsense has been created and manufactured to fit into your own narrative, but none of you were actually there, and I don't even know why it's an issue all of a sudden. You want me to say that City have always been the ones that I fought with and hated, but it isn't true.

City tour guide? You need to check your facts on that and so much more. Yes I have been on the away end at Anfield (away corner actually back then was where they had terracing for away fans of course!), and know all about rivalries, hence my comments. In 1991 I published The Pride of Manchester (history of Manc derby) and have researched every single derby game. I know about the acid bottles thrown over the roped barrier on the Kippax on derby day in the 1960s and early 1970s. Violence, sadly, was always a part of life at football grounds - I remember Everton fans lying in wait for City when we returned to Victoria Station from Blackburn in 1984-85 on the same day they'd played MUFC, as well as many other incidents at Elland Road, Anfield and elsewhere. But violence doesn't mean a derby style rivalry, if it did then City's biggest 1990s rivals were Millwall and United's greatest rivals of the 70s would be Leeds - or City if we're talking about violence, pitch invasions and so on.

A derby rivalry is multi-faceted and involves all sorts of scenarios such as the more banter style pranks that used to be performed in the 1920s - I have some great stories of how Utd fans broke into Hyde Rd and painted the fence blue on derby day for example.

Utd-LFC is a rivalry about success and it was made prominent by Fergie. Before Fergie it was intense at times, but not regarded as a derby (other than the typical old Lancashire derby comments). Utd & LFC fixed a game for gawd's sake - would you do that with your biggest rivals!
