United thread 2019/20

Rashford is no more responsible for the rags' tax avoidance than we are for AD's human rights failings.

You have joined 2 arguments together there and apologies if I don't reply to it. To do so would derail the thread and risk me getting a ban.

I woke a bit early and caught the back end of the BBC rolling news. The female presenter was doing a good job dealing with a lot of matters and interviews.
Then came an item about the football starting again and after a short intro she began a remote interview with a bloke described as a football super fan. Pretty much straightaway she mention in reverential abd almost hushed tones that he was a fan of 'Man.....Yewwww'. It sounded comical but soon they started talked harmless bollocks about how much he had missed football and she asked what he thought of the fan photos and canned crowd noise. He replied something like it wasn't the same as the real thing but it would help.
Finally she asked where he would watch United's first match. He replied because of the time he and most others would not be able to watch in bars as usual so he would watch at home.
I should mention at this point that the superfan talking of atmosphere in grounds was in Bangkok. YCNMIU.
I was wondering why the BBC were showing this ridiculous interview with a pleasant presenter and an amiable idiot superfan when the Breakfast show started. It seems the whole BBC effort was being used for Silly Sally in the brightest red dress imaginable announcing how she in a role as King maker and Saint Marcus had changed government policy on their own.
It wasnt a dream and l didnt make it up but l dread to think what the build up to the rags first match will be like.

Also how the hell do the BBC find a fan in Bangkok ? the cynic in me would say that the Rags are feeding the info directly into the BBC....

'Today Silly Sally I would like you to do a piece on Sir Marcus and then tomorrow we will Segway into a super fan, I will send the details of the link over in an email.'
To which Silly Sally replies 'Thank you Mr Woodward that will be great'

It was bizarre seeing the words 'Bangkok' and 'football super fan' on the screen together as yhey talked about the restart of gootball in this country. I suspect the Bbc also use that clip for the World Service but how do you become a super fan watching in bars or at home?
Silly Sally had her bestest reddest dress on but it was missing the Chevrolet slogan though.

United will set the OFFICIAL PREMIER LEAGUE record for empty seats when they play their next home game :-)

Keep that one in your back pocket for next time one of them starts chatting shit about attendances - like one of my 'mates' tried tonight.... ;-)

Less there than on 85 minutes of the sick swan - highly doubtful..............

It's the same old story with them, no other way around it - they are being protected.
Football is big business: the turnover in the Prem is absolutely vast. Way more than the old days of the 1st Division in the 60's and early 70's. In a sense, the Premier League is now like Hollywood, doesn't matter if the films nowadays are piles of CGI crap, as long as they bring the money in the suits are happy. The same with both the rags and the dippers, treated by the media and football's governing bodies as beyond reproach, above criticism.
If the rags are screwing the tax system, sweep it all under the Axminster and turn the other way. If the dippers want to hack into another club's computer system, well, that's okay - keep quiet and it will all blow over eventually.

And until someone in a position of power sets up an independent body to look into the affairs of football in this country, the two red clubs will continue to fuck everybody else over in the pursuit of more money.

And,on the back of that,im sure Sheff utd fans will be licking their lips in anticipation at the enquiry into their disallowed goal at villa park which would have took them above utd in the league/ race for champions league football..
Var not working.apparently or some other BS reason.i wonder who the ref was?
I wonder who the var official was.neither have been mentioned repeatedly by the Football is Fixed website as being corrupt....

Makes you think back to our trip to Anfield,var not working ,Pep going mad,sky sports cover up...and still no reported outcome to our clubs complaint of a certain refs handling of the game.

Yes folks..Football is back....the stench is over-whelming.

Ole saying Pogba one of the best Midfielder's in the world? No doubt Pogba is a decent player, but he only plays when he wants to, he is a Prima dona. KDB a level above.

 

[Big Swifty]

Ole is targeting a top three spot, according to the Times today. The media are working themselves up into a frenzy of excitement about Pogba coming back.
If Utd continue to get help from VAR etc., you never know. Not possible, surely.
Is it?

Well done to the lad but it did appear at times it was a BBC campaign using Rashford as the figure head.
