Thats Sly sports for you mate. Biggest rag PR machine going. Im not surprised tbh.
Until the season starts I've stopped watching sky sports news etc, because its just rag PR over drive.

I stopped watching the twats a long time ago - fed up of the Rag wankfest at every opportunity .

Nobody seems to think this particular leopard can change his spots. At 53 it will be hard but he'll need to. I hope like most that he's too set in his mental ways.

Mental being the operative word.

Quotes from Cantona intierview yesterday..
“I love José Mourinho, but in terms of the type of football he plays I don’t think he is The Govan Piss Can,” “Guardiola was the one to take. He is the spiritual son of Johan Cruyff,” Ha

Edited slightly.


Sick of all this "It's not The Manchester United WayTM" bollox when referring to how they always play. It was the Govan Piss Can's Way of playing. Their subsequent managerial appointments of The Moyesiah, The Tactical Turtle and now The PEG, none of whom have ever been associated with that 'way" being evidence that the Club doesn't have any actual grasp of the concept. Maybe because it's just bollox.

Every club, especially its fans aspire to free flowing attacking football. But if pragmatism wins you stuff then suddenly that's all forgotten about. But some clubs fans cling on to the myth that it was them alone who invented such a thing and it's only their clubs that insist on their teams playing in that nebulous way. Maybe it's true of some fans of all clubs but for sure at the rags and certainly the red scouse it's become an illness.

The United Way really is more about hyperbole and hysteria. This has certainly been a trait dating back to at least the 50s because my dad, who was one who used to go watch both when they were squatting at Maine Road, said that there was always more a sense of hysteria during the rag home games that he really didn't like, or buy into, but which was obviously attractive to some of the weaker minded City fans of the time who deserted us for them and swelled their fanbase of even more "glory" hunters. (They use that word a lot, "Glory", but I don't think I've really ever heard a City fan use it...?) The events of Feb 6th 1958 only served to help the myth and legend grow in the minds of them all. It wasn't just a tragedy, it was a huge opportunity and they took it whilst simultaneously adopting The Devil as their emblem. Delightful.

"The Theatre of Dreams"??? What's wrong with "Old Trafford"?

"He doesn't play the manchester united way" What's wrong with just saying that he hasn't brought the success that we wanted (champions league football) and we think the next guy will give us a better chance? That's basically what most other clubs say. They don't feel the need to talk about a singular tradition and style... But this lot do.

Hyperbole and hysteria. That's The United Way.

You can almost guarantee whoever the rags sell or part ex this summer they will get a good fee where we will no doubt lose a small fortune once again.
It does piss me off even though it's not my money.

It always seems to be an area where we don't do well, not sure why , seems to have been that way for a long time.

I guess they do so well due to the hype that surrounds everything connected with them . Most generally get found out once they move .

Oh, come on! Everyone knows there is no such thing as 'sanity clause'.

Thanks for that :-) Another Marx Bros fan.
