United Thread - 2021/22

The truth is that most go there thinking that they are going to make their career when, in reality, it’s killed most of them. It then leaves them on big money which they cannot give up as the clubs interested won‘t pay it.

You cannot blame a player for taking a wage, every single person would do the same. The fact that is fucks up the Rags in some way makes me smile.

I remember when they signed him, all over Talkshite and tbh I'd never heard of him and the fee mentioned was astronomical

Theatre of dreams ffs ! That is so funny.

I think from a United perspective it makes sense:

- Newcastle are desperate and will obviously make more if they stay up.
- It's in United's best interest for Newcastle to be relegated.

If he goes there and they stay up with some of it being down to him or his goals then the £12m will look like a fucking steal. It's peanuts.

i hope Newcastle find an alternative and the Rags are left with an unhappy player who they can't get anything for.

Doesn't make me smile, it makes me scream and howl with demented laughter: tears flowing down my cheeks, stomach aching, and people tut-tutting and saying: "Oh, it's not THAT funny."
But I beg to differ, it IS that funny. A football club are being taken to the cleaners by a bunch of (mostly) foreign mercenaries who couldn't give two fucks whether the team paying their extortionate wage demands wins or not, as long as millions and millions of pounds are being deposited into their respective bank accounts. And there is sweet fuck-all the club can do about it because it was their own sheer stupidity that compelled them to offer such ridiculous contracts to begin with.
And it's not just A club...it's the rags, if you please. The very club who have lorded it up over everyone else (us in particular) for so many years that it was almost acceptable for them to sneer and belittle us, patronise and deride us simultaneously, to look down their noses at us like Prince Andrew looked down at his foot servants and underlings who performed menial duties for his former Royal Highness...when he was a member of the Family.

The demise of the rags must, by necessity, be a long and drawn-out affair. It should last for years. Every single football fan on planet earth must be given sufficient time to raise a glass and drink a toast to the 'death from a thousand cuts' those bastards have been due for many a long year.

Sooooooooo................not that keen on 'em then? ;-)

van de Beek wants a move.
Rags won't send players to top 4 rivals.

I think City should put in a cheeky bid: pay 25% of his wages and get 25% of any fee if he's sold in the summer.

Love to see the narrative if we had signed someone for 37 million (about what we paid for Aguero) and Then sent them on loan to fucking Rangers

Beeky, just another world beater ruined by the rags. They are past masters at it.

There is absolutely no fucking chance that Ragford or the dabbing imbecile have any fucking clue what anti-Semitism means. Not a hope in fucking hell.

But he’s an MBE and has written a book.

Once I join the dots I'm going to colour it in
