United thread 2018/19

[halfmist]

Same here, mixed views. When they play Chelsea I cannot cheer the Rags on for a win, it would just go against the grain. Grudgingly I would settle for them taking a point. I want City to win the title in their own right with no help from the Rags. If I had a crystal ball and the Rags had to win for City to get the title then of course I would cheer them on.... reluctantly. Any other occasion I want them to loose as it’s a good hours entertainment post match on the tele, then over on Rag Cafe

Because for a lot of us , however unlikely we can envisage a situation where a win for them can do us a favour and maybe even win us a trophy. If the difference between them winning ang finishing 6th instead of 7th but it means we win the league what would you want ? It's the never ever I don't get.

I give up I really do...It's just so obvious you are either all trolling, plain stupid or haven't been a fan for very long

Not sure how any Rag/Chelsea is result is bad for a City fan psychologically. I can derive a positive out of any result because I see Utd as no threat, and a win just papers over the Jose cracks. Would be much worse were the rags and Chelsea flipped position-wise in the table.

Let's get this right, do you ever want United to win or not irregardless of the circumstances - I can't decide if you want them to win or not, you've not made it clear enough.

Folk will want Huddersfield to get a result against Liverpool next week because the latter dropping points is beneficial to us and the former are irrelevant in the title race and thus our season.

Now, replace Huddersfield with United and the situation is exactly the same.

Simple.

Unless you're stupid.

Oh the irony, ex Utd player worried about ref standards. Refereeing standards never seemed to bother him when playing for Utd

Phil Neville: England boss worried by refereeing standards at Women's World Cup

I thought that when I read it.

Any “true blue” puts City’s results foremost.

Correct.

Mid table filth is a no brainer - have them take points off title rivals by all means.

The real question is which of these scenarios you favour:-

Champs City
Runners up Liv/Chel
17th Filth.

Or

Champs Liv/Chel
Runners up City
18th Filth

Being relegated would screw them for 10 to 20years.

That, in my view, is a very difficult choice.

No, it’s a very easy choice.

The first scenario every day of the week.

And twice on Sundays.

by that logic you seem to be more emotionally invested in them then you are in City which is just odd - Think your living in the past, like most on here I also spent the 90s and 00s hoping they lost every single game as it was soul crushing seeing them pick up title after title whilst we resembled something out of a monty python sketch - gotta move on and take help where it can come if it means securing back to back PL titles - Bit like PEG did for us in the 13/14 season against the dippers

And now we’re something completely different.
