United thread 2017/18

He and the rags were beaten less than two weeks ago by Bristol fucking City.

Typical media wankfest over a completely average midfielder just because he plays in Stretford.

Was just about to post this after just seeing it on the tv......pogbad owns relegation team shocker !!!!

What a load of shite.

Sky have just called him 'The Invincible one'... as he's unbeaten in 35 games... Desperation for a positive spin

I emailed the guy who put the story on the sky sports app and said you do know it was only stoke and that he sometimes goes missing in the bigger games.
This is the response I got

So there you go. Just a bit of fun apparently.

apart from all the games he's lost (Madrid, Basel, Bristol City) and, you know, people went on for months about how we haven't been tested, and the fact he dodged Chelsea away, Liverpool away, City home, Arsenal away and Spurs away in that run (not to mention the mighty Huddersfield), who in that run has he actually f'in played?

Nobody. The full article on the sky app says that city lost their invincible tag on Sunday but Pogba is still invincible after 35 games.
All done in the name of fun apparently.

.... plus Sanchez moved the goalposts from the summer. Neville has only considered one aspect of the club's press release, which is convenient for his agenda.

I wanted Sanchez but not at any cost and not after he/his agent have tried to have us over a barrel. This scenario is not unique and has played out many, many times before over history but City are no longer in the space where we have to pay over the odds to secure our targets. As has been stated numerous times on this thread, if you want to come and join the revolution, you know our terms. If not, good luck wherever you may land - it would have been nice but the colour of money has blinded your judgement.

He's lying to make out that City were lying.

Not you, mate, Neville.

Well the raggies are giddy.

One of my work colleagues is arguing that Pogbad doesn’t get any credit for being better than Kev.

Best chuckle I’ve had for a while.

Louis van Gaal has admitted he turned down the chance to manage Belgium so that he could continue to receive compensation for being sacked by Manchester United.

In an interview with Dutch newspaper Volkskrant, the 66-year-old said he was motivated by 'revenge' in his decision to turn down the role.

After his sacking in July 2016, Van Gaal would have foregone his compensation from Manchester United by taking another a job offer.

"It would have been really great if I had become Belgium national coach, but I was so resentful and vindictive that I let that job go by," said Van Gaal.

"It was stupid, really, because the sporting value should always come in the first place. That should have been the most important thing. But that's how I looked at things. It was not about money. It was all about the act of revenge.



Still get a warm fuzzy feeling for the tactical turtle.

3:0 against Stoke. Thats just about their level. Now the media act like they have beaten Barcelona. Just shows you how they lowered the bar for them.

Is this a fair comment?
It seems an odd conflation of wages being depreciated as well, which may be the case to the club even though accounts don't show it like that.

I suspect there's annoyance at the 5M the agent wants, which GNeville is happily ignoring in his neediness and desperation for MU to be relevant again.

Firstly how does he know we were going to be paying him £290,000 per week? I call bullshit on that.

Secondly, if you've agreed a price/wages with someone, then they say actually no i want more, if you agree again what's to stop them adding more on to it?

It's simple really, we were willing to pay Arsenal a fair price at the time and him an extremely good wage, just because we now no longer have to pay Arsenal the same fee doesn't equate to us giving it to him ffs.
