9000 capacity and some Shrewsbury tickets gone on general sale

So they'll be snapped up by the local rag fans down there..................... err. perhaps not!

They've all lost interest in football.

I suspect most of them have taken to watching paint dry, as it is more exciting than the dross the rags are currently serving up.

Laugh but they'll be supporting us soon. :-(
We're already getting our fair share of glory hunters beyond Manchester.

The hope would be, that he has another breakdown. That would be better than LVG, Moyes, Giggs, anything. He turns up like the Messiah, falls out with everyone & has them in 14th.



I don't think it would be difficult for a decent manager to make a competitive team out of them, Leicester are top of the Prem after all.

Matching City & Pep though, that's a different story. And if they did bring in Mourinho, nothing is more certain than he will have a meltdown sooner or later, then it's back to square one, but with no kids coming through.

I really think they have done an amazing job to make Utd this shit, but unfortunately I don't think it's that difficult to turn them into top 4. But if they get it wrong...

Your second last paragraph is spot on.
The appointment of Maureen at the swamp would be the final nail in the coffin of there being any pretence that a "utd way" ever existed.
His methods and style are the antithesis of this mythological philosophy ( for want of a better word , ironically) and giving him the job would be seen as a desperate attempt to counter the Pep factor.
We are leading , and they are trailing along behind

One of the best comments I ever got was from a rag during Davey's reign of power. "You dont even bother taking the piss anymore"

which is amazing really after all the condescending shite us blues have had to put up with in the dark days , but we're better than them , karma is a wonderful thing

Their wheels have well and truly fallen off,and they are now going to be playing catch up for a very long time,in their somewhat cheaper vehicle.

Just seen a highlight on BT Sport's Website, "Did Sergio (Ramos) pull off the Save of the Season?"

Bloody Hell, I can easily think of a better save than that one last night.

BT sucking rag cock or bigging up their Europa League coverage?

Or maybe even both?

 

[manimanc]

Isn't @manimanc signed up to that shithole too?

I was, I stayed under the radar for a few years and then decided to introduce myself and be a normal poster but alas the giddy twats on there couldn't handle it and they banned me......I cried for days and days when it happened.

DM reporting that the doughnut thief's injury isn't serious and will keep him out days rather than weeks. Looks like he may only miss the Shrewsbury game.

 

[crazyg]

I saw that one too.

And Dave Sexton's.

They stayed alive through all that period by picking up occasional cup wins & bullshitting pre season every year, that 'this year is our year' & all the media jumping on the bandwaggon. They were, what Liverpool are now but often less exciting to watch.

Docherty & Fat Ron had them playing a bit of entertaining stuff tbf, but some of the bilge Ferguson served up in his early years, was diabolical.

Who can ever forget (or care to remember) that magical song:

Shit on O'Farrell, shit on O'Farrell tonight.

Yes folks, don't forget the one and only Frank O'Failure!
