United Thread - 2022/23

Did he keep repeating "this is Manchester united we're talking about "

Terrific and insightful punditry right there - it's amazing so many are that clued up................

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

My dad has this thing where he counts the number of times the commentators say ‘Manchester United’ and compares it to their opposition in that game. He makes a tally and tots it up at the final whistle.

Today - rags mentioned 67 times.
BHA - 17

That's a top game - I'm in.............

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

That's not far off the number of times they get.memtioned when City are playing some.other team too.

Or anytime Garry Cookes handing out awards.............

Next four matches

Spurs away
Villa home
Brighton away
West Ham away

Scousers next 4

West Ham away
Spurs home
Villa home
Brentford home

Are we sure utd are getting top 4? Scousers have a tendency to finish quite strong (not strong enough of course) but I wouldn't completely rule out them somehow backdooring into the final cl spot. Obviously neither is preferable.

You can make that a quadruple, by adding the "We beat City" trophy!

Actually V70, that's a shared honor with Brentford, Tottenham and Southampton.

In mitigation, Saints beat our second XI, and we always lose at the new Shite Hart Lane.

But Brentford? I have no idea, as I saw very little of the game.

Unfortunately we have divers and play actors in our team. If Klopp done to our players what Pep done to theirs on the touchline this place would have been in meltdown. I love the way Bernardo is with the Dippers, but if that was Henderson doing the same stuff for them we'd have an 800 page thread on him.

It's our team and we'll support them, but we do have flaws like other teams. I personally don't despise Klopp and I don't particularly mind Tent Peg, but he's got time to become a ****.

I have no feelings for tent peg, what I do see is a small time wanker by his quote about stopping another team doing something. A real man/Manager will say something along the lines of we will do everything we can to win the league/cup, it is sign of weakness when you are looking at the other teams and think how you can stop them achieving something. A small difference but it is very meaningful!!

I'm not sure it is that small a difference because it reflects their club culture since 2011. Whilst out owners have had a vision which they have done everything to achieve, united, along with other self-satisfied and complacent clubs, have had no vision, no plan and one obsession. Stop City. And look where it's getting them.

They are sticklers for certain practicalities always being right. Like organisation, methodic planning, timekeeping.

TH Fined Rashford and Garnacho for being late. Fined Ronaldo for leaving early. It breeds a culture of discipline that you really need in a team sport. You have to have everyone pulling in the same direction.

Nope.it breeds a culture of random 6goal thrashings by your rivals.
Roll on Fa Cup Final day.

I would love it if we put them to the sword at Wembley.
We are streets ahead of them but dodgy officiating, indifference on our part could be our undoing. Go out and crush them .
