United thread 2020/21

[LongsightM13]

The odd lot seem to be really hammering the ‘united DNA’ line in their media statements just lately. McTominay, Fletcher, even Gary fucking Neville have all been handed this trite platitude.
It is meaningless marketing mumbo jumbo along the lines of ‘This means more’ but is predictably lapped up by a subservient media.
I imagine Neil Ashton has instructed them to push it as a ‘key message’ in their interviews

Thought gerrard had problems with the Liverpool mobsters?

His missus loved the taste of Pancake batter...

 

[Cellarite]

That's because these guys and there aren't many, are true honest proffesionals ( Frank Lampard as a player springs to mind, Vincent Kompany, Stephen Gerrard etc ).....No wags to parade on celebrity shite, no scandal, no sucking up to media luvvies, no headline news, no attention grabbing. They just get on with it quietly and proffesionally and let their skills do the talking. Hopefully the impressive youngsters in the game will learn from them.

Time for you lot to do some homework.
Question: How many times has Fernandez won player of the month since he joined the Raggies and second part how many times has DeBruyne won it since joining the world's greatest club?
If you are minded you could also list David Silvas awards.
I dont know about Raggy but I bet Kev and David's total added together is nil.
Says it all about the state of our game.

Dave won it once, Kev has never won it. LMFAO

Dave won it once, Kev has never won it. LMFAO

Once in a brilliant trophy laden spell! and Kev, jeez. The people who make the award should hang their heads in shame. 4 times this joke of a media manafactured footballer has won it in 10 months, says it all about the state of our game today.

FFS....they don't even hide the bias! The greatest midfielder to play in the PL wins it once and KDB might well eclipse him for that title if he keeps it up for a couple of more years is yet to win it.....yet over at the Theatre of Nightmares and Klanfield they're stacking them up!

Maybe I seemed to have overlooked something there, not sure what though.....

The Premier League asked the rags not to wear that away kit on Sunday as it clashed with the Liverpool kit for supporters who suffer from colour blindness. They refused but as a compromise they changed the colour of their socks

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Yes, I think this is the concern. I remember saying to one of my sons back in late 2011 that City were 10 points better than the rags, but they'd have to be to win the title. We'd seen that a ref couldn't influence the result of a match in which one side was clearly better than the other (say by six goals to one) but many PL matches are very close affairs and can be decided by refereeing decisions, and United have been able to exercise undue influence for many years, especially while Ferguson was there. It has continued to the present and we have seen this influence clearly at work this season. I suspect City will need to be more than ten points better this season but I think we are and I suspect that the "favours" done to United have become so obvious that we will see them reduced in number.

Used to say a class keeper was worth 10pts a season, seems to have switched to favourable officiating being worth that now.

Aguero couldn't manage to get into team of the year even after winning the golden boot

And you just know he would have had that accolade on display in his basement with all his hat trick balls next to a two-story tall stack of signed shirts from matches he's scored in. I always mind when most of our players get screwed over but Aguero is such a sentimental and charming guy...
