United thread 2019/20

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

It would surprise me!

I don't think we are giving him enough credit, he was obviously just trying to increase the traffic and post count.

Well played sir

 

[JASR]

B-b-but, isn't there a 10000 year whineing list?

 

[marco]

According to the Daily Mail they are looking to buy:
Maguire
Wan-Bissaka
Dier
Felix
James(the welsh one not the Columbian one)

Even if we accept(a bit of a stretch) that all those players are top4/top1 quality, who in their team is actually going to score the goals?

Martial is still waiting for a manager to ‘get the best out of him’, maybe 3rd time lucky, who knows. Rashford will be lucky to get double figures and Lukaku looks like he’s off

top 4 four players now that indeed depends, yes you can say they are if they were introduced and planted into a side like city 'certainly not all in one go' with the correct managerial skills they would adapt and play a decent part in the side and i think Rashford could be on that list to, but to assemble them and chuck them in the pot and expect it to happen is not going to work

 

[Sir peace frog]

But what was your take on his involvement in this particular Van Persie winner after we had brilliantly battled back from 0-2 Mr Hefner? ;-)

and letting that ball go out for a throw in , just imagine what could of happened if he had kept the ball in ,shudder

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

They finish against Leicester. Could be the 6/7th place playoff.

 

[Brightwell’s left peg]

Some pissed up idiot had a bet with me that the rags would finish above City next season.
Got 4 mates to witness it.(2 rags , 1 city , 1 dipper).
Dopey fucker shook hands on a grand.
Next day he said it was £100.
4 mates took the piss out of him.
Told him he can buy himself out of the bet before the season kicks off for £500.

Either you're desperate for money, or he must be a really good mate for you to let him off with paying only 500 before the season starts. I reckon 900 would still be a good deal for him.

I don't really need the money.
I was just sick of his bullshit so I said "Ok , how much do you want to bet ?".
I snatched his hand off and so would most others.

I think you missed the point of my post

I was referring to your offer to let him walk away from it for only 500...not to the original bet.

I’ve had the same bet but just for a fiver for about the last 5 years. He wouldn’t do it last season or this season though. Can’t understand why.

He just PM'd me.

He has ran out of fivers. ;)

I'd happily take 500 to let him out of it.
Told him straight.
I reckon I'll be 500 up before we kick a ball or a grand up by February.

Nice Xmas present awaiting you imo.
If he pays ;)

£150m for Pogba!! If he is worth that much why are they selling him and not building a team around him? Answers on a post card, sorry, postage stamp. If you want to be long winded you can use both sides.

“N” on one side “O” on the other...and a “LOL!” If you have one of those big Christmas stamps!

If he’s worth that then surely you and me must be around the £40 million mark ffs and I’ve never played professional football and our fee is conservative ffs..

 

[aguero93:20]

James could be a decent signing for them - he caused us a few problems at Swansea last season - and I can understand why they might move away from their policy of signing established “stars”. It’s hardly been a roaring success for them of late. They’ve tried everything else, so they might as well have a go at signing young unproven players. But then you read that they’re still offering contract extensions to the likes of Young, Jones, Smalling and now Mata, and it makes you wonder what on earth their strategy for next season actually is.

If they lost De Gea and Pogba then their top six place could be under genuine threat from the likes of Wolves and Everton.

They're offering those idiots contracts but they couldn't hold onto Herrera, who's probably their most consistent player.

I think that's Felix the cat, to replace De Gea.

 

[aguero93:20]

Lukaku looks like the side of a fucking house you mean

Fuck me you must have a big house.

Posh ****.

Thought I'd share a little personal thing with you to help get this thread back on track. Twelve months ago, this week, I had a cardiac arrest and heart attack, rather appropriately, 'out of the blue'. Six months later and I am at my mechanic in Stretford ( I know, I know..) and he says to me ' I heard about what happened to you... what was it like...did you see the light?' Me - 'no no mate, there's no light', so he pushes it a bit further -'but what was it like?' So I thought for a few seconds and said ' It's a bit like watching United - but more exciting'. Proving that in life or death, they will always be sc.........

 

[Bluesince1979]

ever get the feeling your not going to be paid

No chance. Ive stopped having these sorts of bets with reds. Notoriously bad payers.
Had one owe me £20 for months!
Said he cant afford it and feeding his family comes first!
It was when i caught him coming out of a farm shop with £30s worth of steak that i ‘insisted’ on payment.
Sc*m
