United thread 2020/21

Typical Sky, just flicked on the sky sports app to see if game rescheduled yet and the headline story is “Neville, owners to blame”, unbelievable. Or not as case may be. Cûnts. Vermin. Scum.

owners to blame for not spending enough money is the actual reason. So blinking obvious.

So there we have it. "All perfectly understandable and the vast majority protested peacefully".

This is their lie when it comes to all protests. The media have this unhealthy obsession with claiming that protests are peaceful when there’s been violence and criminal damage occurring at them, and brushing all that under the carpet. It’s every fucking time from them!

Yesterday and this morning is just another in a long line of lies about protests by the media. They’re a fucking disgrace!

Has anyone blamed us for this yet?

Yes

 

[ysmsa]

Yes

Sky reporting 100 fans broke in to OT :-)

Then show video of God knows how many pouring onto the pitch.

Operation airbrush is well underway

Dead right, everything is painted as simple, harmless protesting, when anyone
with eyes can see that many are far from it.
What's next, 'Peaceful stabbings?'

If this had been City that poor fella who had his face slashed would be full-blown on the front page of every newspaper, every news bulletin, every sports programme and every website going together with an insistence that we be banned from all competitions with immediate effect.

Yeh but we don't have Neil Ashton on the payroll...........

Absolute self entitled bunch of fucking wankers the lot of them. I was listening to 5Live on the way in this morning and the airtime they gave to two of their 'representatives' was fucking shocking. Talking to them as if they were experts in global warming or they had ideas for vaccinations or oxygen supply to India.

They're a bunch of fucking cunts who had their own fucking way for 25 years and now it's not fair. That's it. The tossers allowed them to go on about the German model without even putting a challenge in about it being as competitive over there as in Scotland.

Our public broadcaster needs to get into this. I'm hoping I just caught the start of it and it has been more even handed since.

Yeah, I read that, he called it a rotting rusting disgrace, and basically said the area around was an under developed shithole, which certainly tickled me, as that's exactly what it is.

Where is the space to develop? One side is all housing, then there is a canal and railway line. The forecourt isn't really big enough to do anything significant and someone dumped a plastic hotel in the front. The rest is car parking and Victoria Warehouse. Unless Neville wants United to buy White City or Lou Macari's chippy what are they meant to do?

You can image the rest the article.

All he missed out was a standard-bearer on a white charger leading the MIBS into the ground.

Simon Stone.


It was at an entrance to Old Trafford round the back of the Stretford End, away from the noise and the flares that accompanied the start of the Manchester United fans' protest at Old Trafford, that those who made it onto the pitch entered through.

Most were young lads in their 20s, coming down the hill in wave after wave. But not all.

There were women and older men too. One, probably in his late 50s or early 60s, wore a green and gold scarf and woolly hat - the colours of United's first shirts when they were formed as Newton Heath in 1878, and of the original anti-Glazer protests in 2010

So fans protested against glazers for 1st time in 2010?
7 years after the takeover. The year they didn’t get 4-in-a-row PL titles.
Odd that.

and then it died down again, till the moyseiah arrived/departed. The year they came 7th after their last PL.
Odd that.

and now it’s back, as realisation dawns that even with penalties given for and not against, VAR bias, repeated spending on the highest cost players, a generally aging expensive squad, reliant on old mercenaries (city circa 2003 waves), a dilapidated impossible to improve ground without many hundreds of millions, no expansion room, no investment in the city and it’s environs, hundreds of millions of debt still being serviced (18 years after takeover) after a year+ of covid monetary affects, a failed attempt at grabbing an even bigger stitched up slice of the pie (ESL), and the future potential trauma (!) of not winning the PL for 10 years approaching on the horizon…
Odd it most certainly isn’t. This time around.

Has anyone blamed us for this yet?

Patience - it’s coming:-)
