Can I ask a question, a few years ago the away fan rule was brought in by the PL, where opposition fans had to b pitchside. The 2 teams (off the top of my head) that didn't do this were Newcastle & Manchester United.

Just having a quick Google and Newcastle were granted an indefinite exemption due to safety concerns between fans, but what about Manchester United, as surely where away fans are is not classed as pitchside?

The rags also use the safety rule.
 
Thing is nobody else wants it to end................. they aren't the club they were and need to understand that


I was 20 the last time we won the Premier League and next year I’ll be 30, should that really happen?!

With Rags, it’s that collective lack of understanding that things don’t last forever and that they’ve never been a club who’ve always been at the top, that gets me.

Outside Magnall, Busby, and Ferguson, United have only won five trophies and for the most part outside those three managers they’ve just been any old run-of-the-mill English football club. Mostly in the First Division/Premier League not doing much, sometimes in the Second Division, at times getting average league attendances of 11,000 and individual league attendances of 3,000, and going bust. That’s why Gary Neville saying, last year, that “Manchester United are the grandfathers of English football” was such a fucking stupid comment!

This attitude where they think they should be up the top of the league challenging is utter fucking delusion. Whenever United haven’t had a decent manager in place, whenever there have been better run clubs than them, they haven’t ever really been a club up there challenging.

This is actually true of all clubs in English football. English football doesn’t really have any clubs who are, far and away, out of reach of the rest of the pack when it comes to success. 20 league titles isn’t that many, in future decades there could be a few clubs up at that level, because it’s not overly dominant. There aren't any clubs in England who have always been up at the top, always challenging, always winning something every few years. And I don’t think there ever will be. This is what makes English football the best! There are far too many decent clubs with decent potential for any club in England to just always be dominant like a Rangers/Celtic or Nacional/Peñarol situation where they’ve all won over 100 trophies each and always been the dominant clubs in Scotland and Uruguay. England’s top clubs have always and will always be fluctuating and it would only take a decent few decades for any club to catch anyone else up. Because that’s all United (and Liverpool) ever really had to put them where they are in their own standing; a few good decades. Away from that, they’ve just been clubs like any other.

There have been other eras where clubs were dominant, only for their time at the top to come to an end and these clubs fall away from the top. Villa, Sunderland, Everton… Arsenal had a few goes, Liverpool had their turn, United had theirs… City and Chelsea are in their great eras now… in future decades Newcastle, Leeds, Spurs, and West Ham could be the clubs who takeover at the top if they get the right investment and use it well with the right boardrooms and right managers/players, because they certainly all have the potential to… that would be reasonable to think would happen because that’s how English football has always worked.

This notion that not winning or challenging for the title isn’t good enough for United is completely out of touch with the reality of English football.

Thick fucker can't even do simple arithmetic. If he was born in 1993 then he'll be approaching 30 now. They are so deluded they think time should stop for them.

It’s 30 years of sky brain washing them into “this is ****united” sorry like you posted they should look at there history! They ain’t a Madrid a Barcelona a rangers a Celtic they are just another club who has 15/20 years winning everything with a top manager!
