United Thread - 2021/22

Authentic united meat platter… Let me guess, condemned meat?

the Paperboy's head presumably!!

 

[DrBlueBob]

A chore???????

Gesundheit!

 

[its grim up north]

Personall think Greenwood more of a natural finisher, in need of proper coaching before it's too late.
But not a city player, so can rot for me (?too harsh)

It's a no from me too.

 

[Blu1]

Bruno Fernandes is a cock!

just watching his behaviour with the ref. Hope city are 3 up in 2 weeks bring fern on with 10 mins to go to teach him a lesson. Happily take a red now

Utd really do attract a certain type of player

 

[AlgarveBlu]

Sadly yes.

As you say, Ole will revert back to the tried and tested tactics that have beaten City recently. Sit deep, pack out the 18 yard area, and break when there’s an opportunity.

I hope Pep's pre match talk before the derby doesn't big them up so much this time - I understand you need to show respect so as not to get their back up but I do think it's backfired in recent matches with them.

He should just call it as it is - ' We play total football and they play total shit so we should batter these'

 

[I am Irrefutable]

They have gone full Norwich.

Not just content with wearing their scarves, they are now even playing like Norwich.

Flies round shit is the analogy you're looking for ;)

Never go full Norwich.

The rags fell into the trap we used to fall in when we played Liverpool, that is going toe to toe with them early doors and getting battered by their speed on the break. Insane, anyone who watches them play knows the danger. If they'd kept it tight they would have made a better fist of it. At 2-0 they were in the game but once the third went in it was damage limitation.

If this is an application for the rags' job then I'm afraid it contains too much tactical know-how. Had you said they were in it till the 5th and something about DNA you might have had a chance.

It's getting like groundhog day with these lot.
Every season they spend shit loads and proclaim that they will be challenging for the league cos "we're man utd".
Yet at some stage of the season, every season we have listen to Ratboy high pitch squealing in post match about his teams deficiencies and what needs to be done by his very high standards of football coaching.
Fuck of and retire Gary, you're boring and embarrassing in equal measure

They’ve turned into 1990s Scousers.

They’ve got their version of Roy Evans as the manager and the Scouse Boom;Bust chart fits the Rags these days (the funny thing is, that chart was made by Rags on their Republic of Mancunia forum)

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Shame we battered the Dippers and only took a point, they've now got momentum and gone and done that to the rags.

Just know in 2 weeks time Pep will faff about and the Rags will set up properly and nick something as usual. Never see Pep doing a Mancini to the Rags.

No chance in Hell the rags defend like that in 2 weeks.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Hopefully they beat Spurs at the weekend
The last thing we need in derby week is Ole to be sacked and the club and players to rally round

 

[bennyboy]

Best bit for me was the tactic board being shown to Cavani when he was coming on as a sub.
Getting humped by 5 and out comes the tactic board.Fucking brilliant.

Another plastic Rag nutcase. But funny as f*ck!

He’s not a plastic Rag, he’s an actor playing the part of a United fan online for money. Mark Goldbridge isn’t even his name.

Spot on. Can’t believe people actually think he is genuine. Fair play to him for exploiting the sheep fans to get clicks and make a nice living for himself. He is basically playing a character which is Alan partridge mixed with David Brent

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Can anyone tell me who I can complain to?

Ole has attempted to appropriate my Manc culture in describing himself as a Manchester lad.
That is highly offensive to any genuine Mancs. Is it call Mancfishing?

To be fair, being Norwegian Solksjaer can count himself as a local rag.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

My mate texted ' it would be laughable if it wasn't the dippers causing it' lol fair point

We could have done with United winning yesterday, a 0-5 Liverpool win was a bad result for us, and had Liverpool beaten anyone else 0-5 I’d have been pissed off. But it was piss funny!

Alan Partridge just been spotted having lunch with Ed Woodward at the Lowry - watch this space

Correct. Brad De Cessari, I think. From Nottingham, possibly?

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Not seen or heard any pundit mention Maguire yet.

The man is fucking rubbish. Put him on the penalty spot heading long balls away and he's fine. Also gets the odd goal.
But ask him to play football, defend on the deck, make quick decisions or just get his positioning right and his flaws are there for all too see.
Re-watch yesterdays goals (a chore i know..) and check out his involvement. Running toward his own goal and a good 2 yards off the scorer. Schoolboy stuff.

He’s absolutely shit. Yet City were prepared to pay £65m for him and United paid £78m for him, just shows how clueless people at football clubs are.
