United Thread - 2022/23

Is Gernacho better than Palmer/ Borges ?

He's had a couple of good games. Which of course in utd pr world means he's the greatest since Best.

We don't really know how good Palmer is as he's never played/been brought on regularly.

Everyone knows that Ronaldo is a dick. The more pertinent point here, that United fans are choosing to ignore, is that Ferguson is such an egomaniac that he manages to still basically control the club a decade after retiring. Somehow he seems to be one of the most important influences at United.

Yes, he still technically works for them - but I'd wager that's more because they're too scared to keep him away than because they actually believe him pulling the strings is valuable.

Fucking hell, only just seen that they won today in the 93rd minute. Twats.

 

[Grassland Blue]

They've played and beaten spurs, Liverpool and arsenal(granted all at home) and drew to Chelsea and Newcastle. They took a hammering from us but that's their only defeat to the top 6 and that's their hardest fixture done with. We've beaten the scum at home, lost at Anfield and drew at St james' and not played anybody else. They've undoubtedly had a harder fixture list. As have every other top 6 side.



Nothing will carry on at that pace as the fixtures aren't symmetrical. 14 games isn't a low number of games either, it's more than a third of the season and no judgements, silly or otherwise we're made. Was a simple statement that a combination of them not being as bad as we think and would like them to be alongside us unexpectedly dropping a significant number points leaves them a lot closer than they ought to be.

The rags are no threat to CITY.
Arse may run us close or even win the P/L.
We have had tougher games overall than Arse have.

... a combination of them not being as bad as we think and would like them to be alongside us unexpectedly dropping a significant number points leaves them a lot closer than they ought to be.

... yeah, that AND their players seemingly NEVER committing fouls that are deemed worthy of a red card (even when it's an accumulation of 2 yellows) kinda helps a bit as well.

The thought of retired fergie sticking his nose in and bitterly attempting to hinder City only for it to backfire and blow up in his face makes me very happy

Won’t be long for the jelly and ice cream

It's called shitting the bed.

How I would love to release a swarm of bees into that room. City dodged a bullet.

Releases it in the dead week before the world cup so it gets maximum coverage.

He's such a dickhead.

Why all the hate for Ronaldo? He is a wrecking ball and doing a decent job at damaging the United brand and team. Unfortunately for him, the scum won and sit only 11 points from top. Most people will look at it as you domalino but I think his move to united has been a city success story -:)

 

[FightLikeAGirl]

Alex Ferguson has way too much influence at the club for someone who doesn't manage them. Is he a shareholder at all?

 

[wolviedinho]

Hes slagging off the lack of investment in the club regarding infrastructure. No improvement since he left.

Probably Neville with a Ronaldo mask on

Fergie must be a blue on the wind up -:)

This kind of sums up the wider issue (quotes from PA Media article) - the hubris, complacency and lack of planning:

Ronaldo said: “I don’t know what is going on but since Sir Alex Ferguson left I saw no evolution in the club, the progress was zero.

“For example, we have an interesting point that how the club as Manchester United after (they) sack Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer), they buy – they bring (in), sports director Ralf Rangnick, which is something that nobody understands.

“This guy is not even a coach. A bigger club like Manchester United brings (a) sports director – surprised not only me but all the world, you know.

“Nothing changed. Surprisingly. Not only the pool, the jacuzzi, even the gym … Even some points, the technology, the kitchen, the chefs, which is, I appreciate, lovely persons.

“They stopped in a time, which surprised me a lot. I thought I will see different things … different, as I mentioned before, technology, infrastructure. But unfortunately, we see many things that I used to see when I was 20, 21, 23. So, it surprised me a lot.”https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-sheriff-tirasopol-europa-league-match-report

Ronaldo will claim he has been throwing himself into glass wardrobes soon.

 

[Winchester]

First he was a slave he was petrified
And now he cant even get in the side
But now hes done an interview
And feels much better too,
His ego grows strong and wants piers to know
So hes off to a new place
Where he wont need to have a tantrum , smash a phone or pull a face
Hell get his way have lots to say
He will Survive

Im going to bed.

I cant see the rags arranging a car crash. PR37 might get the hint when he sees Bryan Robson driving the car.
