United Thread 2015/16

I seem to remember that until very late on there were discussions on the rags being a round behind in the cup but obviously that did stall probably due to league fixtures to fit in and I'd guess as the poster above the rags said fuck it we're off abroad for loads of money which the FA spun to make themselves look good.

Had the decision been made earlier we'd not have had the lucky loser farce.

Selling the rights to the rag games helps them to generate funds so that they can produce top quality drama and nature progammes for which we are renowned around the world.

Oh ok then. I thought I already paid for that stuff with my license fee.

The rags entered but withdrew at the request of the corrupt clowns at the FA who thought their participation in the World Club thing would help England get the 2006 World Cup. They didn't know the ultra-efficient German FA was paying bungs to ensure they'd get the nod.
The rags withdrew which is why one of the 2nd Round losers got re-instated. Had the rags (or even the FA) planned it from the start then they wouldn't have entered in the first place.
This was probably the first of many instances where the FA has fucked their own competition, culminating in 5-00pm kick-off times to sell it to more countries ignoring inconvenience to supporters and the latest nonsense about scrapping replays.

This.
I don't think it is accurate to blame Utd for the withdrawal, and it was certainly not their decision alone.

Plus the documentaries on GPC, the Class of 92, Beckham, Rooney, Salford City, etc., etc. ;)

unlike the blessed Mr Fowler
H.W. Fowler (1858–1933). The King’s English, 2nd ed. 1908.

Chapter II. Syntax

THE GERUND


It's like being back at St Bede's with old Jollop and Bandy the classics master.

I have to confess having and often using a Fowler but a bit more up to date than 1908.

I've read another way of winning and he doesn't like rising to the bait with Mourinhos press conference warfare, I'm 100% confident it will be the eye gouging cunts undoing, he will demand a massive war chest out of the cunts only to fuck off after two seasons with his tail between his legs leaving United in Dissaray.

There are big splits for me at boardroom level over his appointment , Giggs will be off and Charlton will be shaking like a shitting dog about it.

City have ruined the twats at all levels

Who's the fucking daddy now eh you rag bastards.

Superb post, flb. Charlton is having a stand named after him to help him cope with his disappointment at the poisonous one's impending arrival. It's going to be called the 'I've painted 2 rabbits on my head as they look like hairs from a distance' stand.

They make programmes to generate revenue. That means they need to attract viewers. Broadcasting the rags attracts viewers. Don't see the problem myself.

The BBC is a public service broadcaster paid for by tax-payers. That's what's wrong with it.

de Memphis 'pay???

What an utter scumbag... I'd say this about any City player as well.. He's driving around in a £250,000 car yet wouldn't pay a fucking parking fee.

Shit like this just puts me off the modern game. Overpaid cunts without a care in the world except for themselves... Suppose i'd have the same attitude if I had a few million quid in the bank
