Bunk beds and a Wendy House. What a bunch of tarts

So that is where our daughter sold her son's Wendy House to - I did wonder because she pocketed 20 times more than it cost her. And they paid the shipping from Australia to boot. When they posted Feedback on Ebay their comment was "We liked it 'cos it had a red roof without any holes"

Utds new kit out
Click to expand...
Guess the players will be a bit pissed off with that kit - no more diving for penalties as it is impossible to clean sheepskin coats and green stains would ruin the zebra pants.
Mind you, the scarf could give them an advantage with VAR - "PENALTY - he pulled my scarf".
 
Noteworthy that OGS is trying to shut Utd protests up.

He must have known reporters and journalists would ask him about the fans v Fulham so his comments must be thought out.

We went to watch the grandchildren’s football training tonight.

The grandson’s head coach is a rag, and we always have a bit of back and forth with each other.

Just after we arrived, he had a dig at City, so I just replied with, "Champions!" He turned to Mrs Vienna’s son-in-law and asked him, "What did you bring him for tonight?"

And after the training had finished, as one of the grandson’s teammates walked past in a City shirt, I said, "Another young man with impeccable taste in football teams," to which the coach replied, "I’m not sure about that."

"I am," I said.

A little later, we were discussing the return of supporters for the last two games. The coach said, "10 000, that’s about City’s usual crowd, isn’t it?

I simply responded, "Yeah".

Vienna. Good tale. Your coach reminded me of many of my less than mature comments to rag supporters 10 plus years ago when I would ask whether rag shirt wearers were from Singapore or if they were lost trying to find the Swamp. Their go-to lines to me seem to remain the size of our crowds, our spend and lately the fact that they are on the right track. If only they could find a midfielder to release Pogba!!!

Watching your neighbour and rivals success can really hurt however you mask it in public.

it’s bloody fantastic seeing these self entitled, smug, comfortable, armchair glory hunters pain. These days I like to slowly and deliberately turn the screw, one because I am a vindictive child and two because they deserve the all the hurt they are feeling.

The more sensible rags I have known for years realise that they have been a mess for years and that we are here to stay. It gives me a warm glow most days.

I think the owners have had a word. They want to shut their fans up. That's why there are loads of rumours about them signing marquee players this summer. It'll keep the raging hoards happy for a bit longer whilst their owners continue to bleed them dry and pile up the debt.

Who employs him the fans or the Glazers? He does as he is told.

Didn't realise Brazilian football was in such a mess.

Nor I.

I laughed at the coach justifying his selection as "having good stats"


To be fair I was listening to world soccer phone in on 5Live at the time an Phil Vickery claimed Brazil have 21 games to play between now and January. (Possibly more depending on how far they get in the Copa America) and the coach has told the managers of all the big boys they won't be selected for all of them as he'll experiment with others. Although picking Fred says he hasn't got much talent to choose from.

When Raggy started playing City Bingo with his crowds comment, I would have asked him if the Rags have 10,000 Mancs who actually know where the swamp is.

He seems a real bitter little fucker. Keep up the good work in giving him shit and ask him are they making another record transfer deal to lure Sir Harry of Tottingham thus ruining the game with their dirty dollars

He’s not bitter. All the banter is done with a smile on both our faces and it’s only a bit of leg-pulling.

It's not worth taking it too seriously, as it will only upset Mrs Vienna’s daughter and son-in-law, and therefore the better half herself.
 
These lot will be up for some more trouble tonight I think. I heard a spokesperson for the Fans Group who had a slightly threatening tone to the responses he gave on the radio.

It seems the owner has done something no one else could do and that he has ‘brought the whole fan base together’. There then followed a couple of local United fans who were quite adamant that they didn’t agree and it wasn’t in their name. Lol
