United Thread - 2021/22

It’s strange, but all the gobshite rags at work, who were so full of themselves only last week, were extremely quiet this morning.

On the other hand, the non-rags among us were pissing ourselves laughing.

So let me get this right.

There are talks of a protest because they just got beat off Leicester?

Yet when Adams apple made his debut not one syllable about a protest?

Erm, isn't that called being bitter, the same term used to call us for 35 years?

These mardarses have taken bitterness to a different level, fuck me what a set of fickle tosspots these gobshites are!

They are the gift that keeps on giving.

Don’t think they’ve been through 1/1000th of your average middle aged City fan, absolute Fanny wipes & you won’t find a corner shop in Salford with any Tena lady in stock. If I was one of the Glazers, it’d be back to syphoning off the ££££ what’s the point in reinvesting? You can’t please a spoilt child

The old ones are the best.

 

[Bald fraud]

England NT made to play behind closed doors for trouble before the Euro's final. Yet these break into their own stadium get a game called off and are planning on doing it again with no repercussion

Absolute disgrace! And they’ll get away with it again

Of all ex-rags I think I detest camel gob more than I do ratboy. He is arguably the single most revolting specimen ever to play the game. He has the morals of an alleycat, the institutional treachery of the Kim Jong-un ruling dynasty and the sort of face you would never tire of throwing olympic-sized javelins at.
His laughable 'gangsta' act and the paradoxical sycophancy with which he pursues every chance to get in front of the Sky cameras is evidence of just how fucked his moral compass is.

I reckon he sees himself by day as some kind of footballing guru whose knowledge of the intricacies of the game would shame any other so-called pundits, but at night he's the tough, no-nonsense streetwise gangsta DJ with his finger on the pulse of London's rap scene - MC Ferdy?

There's more plastic to Wio than there is in a factory warehouse full of Ken and Barbie dolls.

More plastic than there is on a Premier League home game at the swamp?

I've got them down as having 13 points after 8 games last season and they'd already played Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs. I don't think they have improved.

Yeah, they're about the same league wise. They had that early 6-1 battering from Spurs but it was a time in the season where there were a few silly results, us against Leicester and Liverpool against Villa. The CL started alright for them, and then they got in trouble from around the third game. But they definitely haven't improved.

 

[Blueknows]

I'd agree with a lot of this, but given how poorly they play as a team it's almost impossible to even fairly judge individual players. Pogba in a 3 with good coaching and a system is entirely different to Pogba at United (see Juve or France). I suspect on a purely technical level there isn't actually much that separates Stones and Maguire, but the former looks like he is working hard, still learning and still improving where Maguire looks like his best years are behind him. Some of that is down to the player, but some of that is down to manager, coaches, players around them, facilities and everything else.

I think even with the best manager, though, their overall squad is really confusing and unbalanced and haven't really been signed with a coherent plan. They're playing a 4-2-3-1 which is giving up the whole of the midfield, and is a piece of piss to defend against, in order to squeeze Pogba, Ronaldo and Fernandes into the team.

If the rumours are true that Ole isn't taking training is it any wonder they don't know what they're doing?

The protest would be hypocritical though, when they celebrate every major signing like they've won the lottery.

You might well be right. I Googled it out of curiosity and you know yourself, the internet is a gawdam liar sometimes.

So the new ‘bitters’?

Unsweetened United doesn’t quite flow off the tongue.

‘the Trafford tarts’ has a nice ring to it

You could have jealous and jaundiced instead of green and yellow ....

Fucking shocking, what does he do in the week? Wash everyone’s cars in the car park at Carrington?
