United Thread - 2021/22

No way it’ll take that long.
10 more years with no success and they‘ll be playing in front of 40k max.
You’ve only got to read their forums for a few hours to see how entitled most of them are.
90% won’t have the stomach for the shit show that awaits them

Yet, the official attendance will be 78,000...

2-0 is actually more painful though in a number of ways.

At 5 you just give up don’t you. Wait for full time and move on. 2-0 is a score line where you should still be fighting to get back into the game. Except they couldn’t. Didn’t even have a whiff. It was like a lion playing with an antelope, toying with it and torturing it slowly.

Or that feeling of hopelessness when you’re trying to get the ball off your dad

Absolutely baffling.

What point are they trying to make? The Warrington weasel is not going to bring in any money for the rags sat on their bench or even not in the match day 18.

It’s just weird thinking.

It's antidiluvian thinking from the days of retain and transfer. Master and Servant way of looking at it.
Contrasts sharply with City policy: if a player is unhappy it's best to let him go.

At least they can always lord it over us that they’ve got more fans in Nigeria.

In Nigeria they think of City as a plastic club, despite them all being plastic fans of United.

Yes Wimbledon.
I was giving it the rags in my local at the time

They pulled in less than 20,000 in a European game in the early nineties v torpedo moscow

Went to Dubai a few years back and had to get a connecting flight in Frankfurt.
Rags were playing someone in the CL at the swamp that night.
Me and my lad boarded the flight at last call and every single person bar me and my lad were wearing rag shirts.
They would be half empty every game without the tourists.
1-6 at the swamp......my mate sat in scoreboard end at the game.
Said he was surrounded by hundreds of French school kids.
Told me there were easily 4-5 coach loads of them.....how they get tickets for a game like that?

I knew Greenwood was out on bail so on the R4 news at 1500 when they announced:
'Manchester City player........ ' l thought it was other example of media 'accidentally' mixing up the Manchester clubs and the Trafford one. But , it was about Mendy attending an admin appearping at Chester to sort out a hearing.
BUT even though l would have put money on the likelihood the two cases would have been mentioned together because of similarities. Greenwood was not mentioned at all. No surprise at all that Mendy is being constantly used on the yellow distraction in such a way to make rag think he is innocent.
He might well be. Three days questioning and not charged is a little strange.

I got totally confused as to who had been detained by the police.
In more than one paper it said “Man Utd Ace released on bail “
I could not think who that would be and it turned out to be same incident ffs

You couldn’t make it up could you.

1894 was too late to the scene?

Were the papers a bit more sympathic towards him in the article itself? After being reported a lot now its more "it's all gone quiet over there'.
All very mysterious after that long questioning him. He's still told though.

Don’t forget Luke shortcrust.

I needed the strength of man to get to the end of this thread.
