United thread 2017/18

[Maly]

It's the same as united fans who talk about their game with Liverpool having 'always' been their biggest game. It could only make any meaningful claim to such a title since the mid-1970's, which means it covers less than a third of each club's....errr....history.

I think you’re incorrect there GDM. They are rivals. Always have been and always will be. Utd were founded by Frederick Attock, who was a Scouser, so to me, this makes them a Scouse club, hence the rivalry & their biggest game being against Liverpool making much more sense. The problem is that none of their fans I’ve ever spoken to will acknowledge this as a fact, again, no self awareness about their own club. They really don’t seem to like being called Scousers or a Scouse club either, which is marvellous.

“You scouse bastards

I’d be up for singing this to the ****s at the derby haha.
They wouldn’t have a clue.

Not to mention their Yorkshire railway men connections...... I don't know why or how but, as I was typing this, a terrible memory flashed in my mind.... Some advert for United or something, had all different bits of foootage cut and pasted together ... "Giggs ... to Viollett" etc

that club disgusts me the same way stepping into a dogs faeces does

OMFG, Sad Caf are telling each other everything will be fine once the planet's oil reserves are spent. Apparently, that will end City. It is beyond RAWK over there just now.

@Prestwich_Blue I noticed their “pep is a hypocrite” thread on the caf. Going on and on about dirty oil money and human rights abuses in the UAE and so on. I also noticed you made reference to some of their official banking partners.
I noticed that

1) Emirates NBD which is (as far as I can see) 56% owned by the Dubai goverment

And

2) Commerical bank of Qatar. Which when you see the board of directors reads like this

Sheikh Abdulla Bin Ali Bin Jabor Al Thani - Chairman

2. Mr. Hussain Ibrahim Al Fardan – Vice Chairman

3. Mr. Omar Hussain Ibrahim Al Fardan – Managing Director

4. HE. Mr. Abdulrahman Bin Hamad Al Attiyah - Member

5. Sheikh Jabor Bin Ali Bin Jabor Al Thani - Member

6. Sheikh Faisal Bin Fahad Bin Jassim Al Thani - Member

7. Mr. Mohamad Ismail Mandani Al Emadi - Member

8. Qatar Insurance Company - Represented by: Mr. Ali Saleh Al Fadala - Member

9. Mr. Saleh Abdulla Mohamed Al Ibrahim Al Mannai – Member



Now I haven’t time to go through each one but the fact their are a few Sheikhs make their fans stance rather bemusing. Do they realise they take money from the ruling family of Qatar ? Or are they just that fucking stupid they know absolutely fuck all about their own club ? I feel this needs more research so the next time some cocky rag shit face no nout plonk mentions our ties to the UAE

Edit

Media partners

Saudi telecoms company which is 70% owned by........... Public investment fund (PIF)

Public Investment Fund (PIF) is a sovereign wealth fund owned by Saudi Arabia, founded for the purpose of investing funds on behalf of the Government of the Saudi Arabia.

I’m sure SWP’s Back will correct me if I’m wrong (he usually does) but I believe Al Thani is the ruling family of Qatar.

And let’s not forget Aeroflot when we’re talking about rag sponsors. State airline of human rights suppressing, journalist-murdering Russia.

When the oil runs out hey the scum are thick as fcuk we been spending what we earn last 2/3 seasons

Ha ha, they never have a clue about anything other than what the media & the ministry of truth tell them

It’s the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway. I believe Mr Attock, a Liverpudlian worked for them when he founded Newton Heath in 1878. Still not found a red who knows or acknowledges this.

So they’re as hypocritical as Emirates sponsored Arsenal.....brilliant, just brilliant
