United thread 2018/19

Strange that the future path of the rag management could be determined by the two games against the dippers. first game lose sack maureen second game win and give it gollum Jr

Fair play to those Rag wankers, they were brilliant in that away end last night. Notice the huge majority of their travelling support is lads between the ages 25-45? I always notice that with Everton and Newcastle’s support too. Much younger travelling away ends than we have.

I have always hated the Stone Roses.

Not sure if I hated that song before but I sure as fuck do now.

Well, i was just correcting your personnal view with factual and no subjective numbers.
And still, despite those two world record PSG has spent less than City. https://talksport.com/football/418688/europe-top-20-biggest-spending-clubs-transfer-fees/
Remember, i'm not taking a dig at City, i'm just showing you that PSG didn't fail more than City if you watch in an objective manner. Both clubs have underachieve though since they have been unable to take out Barcelona and Real Madrid. We are great when it comes to beat the clubs that are under the very best though.

Anyway, those goals from United were really good.
Pogba is really essential for them and i'm rather happy he will be out of the return leg.
More credits to Marquinhos that dominated that night and Tuchel that won tactically againt OGS.

On the other hand Chelsea is really terrible. I can't see Sarri staying there much longer. They will even lose their best man to Real Madrid this summer. They'll have an huge task to rebuild. I doubt Pulisic will be enough or even close to the ability of the belgian.

My point is/remains. PSG is a vanity project. Neymar was a 'my dicks bigger than your dick' signing.

I'd be happy if the Saudi's took over United with a similar model to the Qataris at PSG, I'd shit myself if they took the Mansour approach.

All clubs are vanity projects for their owners. I don't know how many times I have heard City described as a Project by our managers.

This is where you show your bias.
What is the difference between Qatar and UAE really ?
Both Gulf monarchy based states, oil and gas rich that are protected by the main powers (US, UK, France).
Since Qatar is in a tough situation with their neighbors, they were smart enough to strike a deal with France in case US, UK that are also close to UAE could tip the balance.

Both owners have spent considerable amount of money on said clubs for CL glory but both have failed so far.
What City has over PSG is the PL brand power and the money it brings with it. What PSG has over City is an easier league which means easier trophies and Paris global brand.
If PSG is a vanity project so is City. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Those guys are good businessmen and they are doing fine for both clubs. Since Ligue 1 will never match Pl appeal, PSG went into strengthening the PSG brand with collaborations with Jordan, Bathing Ape, Koché etc. Lot of fashion collaborations with the goal to make PSG a stand out brand like New York Yankees. This is not a bad idea imo. When they will leave the club, it would be in an overall better place that when they took it.

What is that Mansour approach that is so much better than what is at play at PSG ? For me, they are just both smart and adjusting their politic in regards of (sporting, financial) context

£44m in 2016/17 I think.

Thanks, so absolute fantasy that they could outspend the top 4 combined and still pass FFP.

I have always hated the Stone Roses.

Yes me too - are they the ones with Ian Brown?

Fucking went to see him at the Etihad a few years back and thought it was absolutely shite.

Dickheads that try too hard to be manc.

 

[Armaan]

He and Martial under Guardiola would look even better. All Solskjaer has done is let the shackles loose. But he's not really a top class offensive coach.
With good movement around them and good passing patterns (as is the case with City), each would look a level higher.

I know, Pogba is the same level as KDB. They are both unstoppable when on form.

 

[kippax4ever]

His form since Jose's departure is incredible tbf.

You are P Neville & i claim my fiver..
