United thread 2018/19

[Paladin]

Excellent spot about it being doctors from the hospital who treated them rather than doctors who treated them.
On further investigation (it is 4.30am and I am wide awake!) I found this on the organisers website... www.munich58.co.uk

"2018 Gala Dinner: 23rd Nov
Enjoy a fundraising Gala Dinner Evening on the 23rd November 2018 at Hotel Football, Old Trafford in the company of The Red Docs of Munich who care for the Munich Memorial site at Manchesterplatz and a number of United legends"

So they are the doctors who take care of the memorial in Munich. As can be seen from that website, non of the money is raised for the families etc but to "keep the legacy of the disaster alive" (should the BBC and other media outlets decide not to remind everyone every year.....) and to inform new fans about the history of the club.
Check the mission statement out on the "about" section.

So, these Red Docs not only look after the memorial itself, but also a number of United legends. Is this on top of their day jobs working for the Deutsch NHS? Busy people!

He was wank for us but 500,000 for schmeichel in his prime what would he be worth in today's money

The players Ferguson signed, were at a time when it was relatively cheap to get 'top' players, if you think back, compared to now. As a one off signing, City or anyone could make a 'big' signing back then.

(Ferguson still spent half the value of Man Utd, on players)

It was of course Utd & their ilk, who pushed up transfer fees & wages, deliberately, to create a gap between the rich Champions League clubs & the rest, thus ensuring they stayed in the Champions League & of course 'big' players won't sign for a club with no likelihood of getting into the Champions League.

And right now the 'lesser' clubs in the league have gained money from a new tv deal, what are Utd doing ? Why they have suddenly started pushing up transfer fees & wages again. What a coincidence.

So Schmeichel now, would be much more expensive proportionally, than he was then.

The estimate I made comparing Ferguson's spending to Mourinho, is being very very kind to Ferguson.

If a bunch of rags, are willing to pay another bunch of rags, for the pivillege of asking some gardners a few questions, I say fair play to the crminals who have organised it tbh.

I wish I'd thought of it.

This is actually never that straightforward. If you publicly dissociate, you give a barely known event significant publicity it would never have. And you'd have to do it all the time in order to avoid the charge of not acting when the next one comes along. A failure to dissociate becomes approval.

Fair comment

The dipper might be deluded, but for once he was talking sense to the bovine Howson...

That dipper does seem alright on some of the videos I’ve seen, quite knowledgeable and he was very complimentary towards All or Nothing.

In regards to Howson, it absolutely baffles me how he has a platform,as pointed out by Esteemed Kompany on twitter, he’s continuously proved wrong in all that he says.
I despise him so much I don’t know how I’d react if I saw him in person, comes across as a gobby hypocrite shithouse too. Love smash his face in.

What left back would you pick instead?

 

[Blue Til Death]

What left back would you pick instead?

Danny Rose for a start

 

[Tom_mcfc]

Danny Rose for a start

Depends on your logic, obviously you aren't who I quoted so your views may differ than the person I responded to. They laughed at Shaw being picked after three games, If that's funny then Rose being picked despite only playing one game should be hilarious.

Is David May involved in this? Sounds like his sort of thing.
