United Thread - 2022/23

Unfortunately, my Toon-supporting colleague is off this coming week, so I won’t be able to congratulate him on their victory at the swamp.

Just turn up the volume at St James when the tarquins turn up, and please get a win or draw, thanks.

We'll do our best. We have two mid-week games this month and then we only play once a week after that so will have time to rest and prepare.

The wonderful unbiased BBC FOOTBALL website leads with this, rather than their beloveds defeat at Newcastle? Absolutely incredible.

This was the homepage a few moments ago:

It's such a shame spurs are spurs, chelsea are starting from scratch and brighton are probably another window aswell as retaining their players away from competing for top 4. With Newcastle stepping up again we could have had a top 4 free of united and liverpool.

United, Liverpool, Chelsea and spurs are going to regret letting Newcastle in if they make it this season, that gives them the champions league money to spend as much as them and I fancy them to stay there once they get in and those will be the teams that suffer because of it. No love for the Geordies, but they're a lot more preferable to the others.

The writings on the wall as you say. And the reason they’re doing all they can to get us out of the picture!

I’ve said it before on here. Their goal difference tells you all you need to know. They’ve been ‘placed’ in the top 4 it’s happened before aswell!

I do believe that at one point I saw Bruno moaning to the referee. Did they not have a good day? I did.

That GD stands out a mile.

That's the difference these past 4-5 seasons. When City lose 1-2 players to injury it's bad, but the pack is reshuffled and Pep generally deals a set of 4 Aces with what he's got left.

Klopp, ETH et al, seem to only have one set of tactics, if Plan A fails, then resort to ... Plan A.

It's going to be a big loss when Pep finally leaves/retires to collect his old age pension in 2039 ;-)

United failed at being the best team associated with 'Manchester', they are now failing at being the best 'United'... which is probably why the commentators have been primed for past 10 years with saying the full mouthful 'Manchester United' when they are playing, when it's godamn obvious that 'United' would suffice... preparing the masses for the inevitable.

Never fear! the good old Tories will have put the retirement age up to about 75 by then he might have paid enough on his stamp to be entitled to the winter fuel allowance and full state pension :)

What's happened to all that guff about the quadruple?

Think they're lowering their ambition and are now settling for the Squadswoeful.

75? Are you insane. It will be 92 years of age MINIMUM. Unless they manage to kill us all before our ttime by destroying the NHS so that we all end up dead before our 67th birthday. The Tories are the Rags of the political world. Do not forget this, all the useful idiots who think that owning a house means the Tories will govern in your interests. Don't be mugs. It isn't true. Get those buggers out next year and keep them out forever thereafter. They are evil. End of sermon.
