United Thread - 2023/24

Of course the reality is that the consecutive home draws started later in 2017 than this draw! But just like fans of other teams when discussing our FFP allegations don't let the truth get in the way just twist it to prove the required narrative!

Well they played no more in Carabao Cup until following season so I’m going to go with my gut & call bullshit.

Happy for you to show me the 11 Carabao & fa cup fixtures, they must have got pretty far in the comps.

Domestic cup draws not just the two competitions you have cherry picked!
Going with your gut and calling bull shit and ignoring facts says a lot about what you believe!
But at least you had a stab at explaining away the point, more than others have.
Fancy a shot at this one as well?:-
A number of different people have drawn United out as the home team including some with strong connections to City, but your asserting that all of them were told they must draw United at home and what system was in place to enable them to do it and they all just went along with it?

It‘s got to be fixed. There’s so much corruption about I wouldn’t be surprised at all. The FA and Sky are desperately trying to help their ailing cash cow.

Hopefully at some point they’ll be beyond help and these organisations will abandon the stinking rag cunts to slip away into a decades-long trophy drought, falling crowds and crumbling old stadium.

Feels that way as a home cup game bolsters their coffers.

League Cup, let’s say 70k tickets at £50, 3.5m plus corporate, however the away team and the host trouser 45% each of the ticket sales less operating costs, police, security, etc, probably nets them around 1.5m plus TV rights that are shared.

Completely different for Premier League games where they keep the lot.

Feels that way as a home cup game bolsters their coffers.

Not by much apparently, certainly not as much as ensuring they progress, every game on TV and winning the trophy.

I’ve just checked & they didn’t have 11 consecutive home draws even if you include the EFL trophy.

Fergie time, offside goals, gk assault on player, now this.

Oh and Positive media all the time .
All that debt, which is fine..
God I detest this club.

December is what will sink him.

Galatasaray (a)
Newcastle (a)
Chelsea
Bournemouth
Bayern
Liverpool (a)
West Ham (a)
Villa
Forest (a)

They'll lose 4 or 5 matches in a month, draw a couple more and he'll be fired over the January break.

Merry Christmas.

Sad thing is that Bayern will have qualified by then though and will play a weakened team.

Odds are 4,096/1, let that sink in.
