That reminds me of an old joke but as I was typing I’ve forgotten it :(

Hahaha....that's an age thingy!!

I do it all the time.

Cunts who post Online about our attendances and numbers of supporters almost invariably havent attended more than a couple of games in person. Their complete lack of self awareness is hilarious

When asked about empty seats I usually reply "My seat was occupied. Will you be at your next home game?"

They were allowed to keep the ball during the half time interval....

In the fridge Pep said.

I've asked this before but can anyone explain what he meant when he said "when Eddie Howe absolutely rides him all summer?"

That’s always confused and I’ve never been able to work out what he means. Anyway, he’s a fat rag **** who likes to talk shit, fuck him.

There’s such denial all over the place there. Fingers being pointed but never at anyone that might bite back. Ferguson never pointed at, but yesterday Neville was on his soap box again. He seemed sharp enough in his analysis to notice that Stones was free to just ping it right and left to exploit their wing backs.
Fair enough, but why not then ask why John had an age to pick his passes? Because it would have led to the rather ugly truth that it’s Ronaldo’s fault. He just stood there watching Stones pick United apart, isolate & cripple his team mates.

The ex Rags will criticise, but never the right people, Scholes, Keane, Neville etc never slaughter the stars, it’s always Fred or someone.
Ronaldo is the reason Stones could simply pick apart their whole tactic. If PL players have time, especially ones playing for City, they’ll take the piss and that’s what happened.. Ciry basically played 10 men from minute one, leading to overloads all over the pitch..

He was using Howe’s Bournemouth as an example of an old fashioned English team who Pep’s tactics would collapse against. The “all summer” presumably should have been “all season”.
Pep’s results against Bournemouth since that comment.

Have people not yet figured out that this will be the last rag team in Champions League for the next several years? I’m guessing 3-4 minimum.

It’s not just that they suck something awful. It’s also that other clubs are getting better. Because other clubs are better run.

I agree with this, but I dont think (like many do) this is all down to Ole, nobody adderesses the problem this season at United..It seems to me that Ole was making progress last season with the team, (they came 2nd, not too shabby) they had a way of playing. Then (we were told) Alex Ferguson persuaded CR37 to return to United and not City. This has disrupted Ole's plans, now he has to include CR37 and play to him, or he gets shit if he doesnt play him and they dont win. It has had the effect of ruining his playing style developed last season when they managed to come 2nd.
I dont blame Ole for the mess, they should never have got CR37 back.
Now, no doubt everyone has a scapegoat and Ole will be sacked and here we go, start all over again. I have some sympathy with Ole, a manager who has been undermined.
Taggart should not still have a say in the squad. He retired years ago, he shouldnt interfere.
Its all good for us though, long may the shite continue to be shite :)

I never want to see them win but a victory over Watford will extend Ole’s mismanagement at least another month.

Are we the pride of stretford, flixton, davyhulme and Urmston? Hope Saturday's demolition derby traumatizes them for years to come.

Did something naughty on Google, searched the rags' structure. The sweaties DO have a Director of Football John Murtough. Excitingly, they ALSO have a football director/technical director in the shape of .................. Darren Fletcher!

They would be marginally less fucked employing Darren Gough.

Might as well be Aston villa ;-)))))

Got to feel for Darren Fletecher, he suffers from ulcerative colitis. Looks like he is having to deal with two different kinds of shit!!
