If you never went to the Conti you never lived :)

It was actually called the New Continental.

Tuesday nights at the Conti. Takes me back.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

It's what Rashford does off the pitch that is keeping his name in the public's conscious, but that's exactly how it's always been with the rags. The oxygen of publicity is what keeps the club going.
I have always thought Beckscum was arguably the single most overrated player in the history of English football. But his craving for publicity is what has made him a household name, not his footballing skills.
The same with Rashford, I do not see a good player in him, never have done. He is a typical rag product: over-hyped and placed on a pedestal by the tabloid press. The odd flash of talent now and again does not a good player make.

We all know what it''s like with the rags: a player comes up through the ranks and makes his Premier league debut. That night on MotD the studio is awash with gallons of semen. Lineker, Shearer, and whoever else are waxing lyrical over this 'fantastic, genius who will go on to be one of the games' biggest stars' blah blah blah...Within 18 months he's playing for whoever Steve Bruce is managing at the time. Then it's back on the merry-go-round for another rag academy player who is 'taking the world by storm'.


The rags today are a bland and vacuous product churning out money for the Glazers. They haven't been about football for as long as I can remember: as artificial as those dreadful American soaps of the 80's - all shoulder pads and lip gloss.


Fuck that for a sport.

Reading between the lines...you dont seem to have a lot of time for our red brethren do you ?

Nurse’s night midweek...

As my dad often told me .... only things certain in life are, death, taxes and a nurse ;)

Plus the 60 million they just borrowed that the BBC hid on the Utd page and not main football page

Manchester United borrow £60m to help deal with financial impact of coronavirus

Manchester United borrowed £60m to help cushion the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic, their second-quarter figures show.

www.bbc.co.uk

I still think though the PL dropping some of its FFP rules on the quiet inc wage increases the other year when the Rags desperately needed to renew multiple contracts and spend heavily was dodgy to see the least

Unbelievable! Their revenue has been €1.29bn over the last two years

I was wondering earlier would the Rags have been any worse off if they had stuck with Moyes and given him time to build the team he wanted, when you look at the money they have spunked away over those years with managers coming and going with differing ways of playing how could it have been any worse?

£1.084bn expenditure on transfers since Ferguson left.

They’ve even spent £33.2m in manager compensation after sacking the numerous managers they’ve sacked (remember when they said they weren’t a sacking club?!).

They definitely sacked Moyes too early and he wouldn’t have spent what has been spent.

Thanks for sharing.

My work here is done.

Nurse’s night midweek...

A well used saying we have about poor strikers, is 'He couldn't score in the Conti on nurse's night'

Huge mistake..

From the bbc stats preview.
United have played out 27 goalless draws in the Premier League since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, more than any other club in that period.

The United way.

Must be an eye injury seeing as he can't stay onside or hit a barn door.

You've fucking done it now
