United Thread - 2023/24

I'm a tad worried that Tent will break more records than Pep. ;)

Worst start since before slur Alex. Just let that sink in.

Ten Man United in five goal Champions League thriller.

Could have been worse. Sitting under one of the many leaks.

I feel sorry for the Galatasaray fans, thousands of them had to sit next to united fans in the home areas… still, it ensured that united could claim a double sellout - the entire crowd and their fanbase

He is definitely suited to them.

I said as soon as they signed him he looked a typical rag player.. arrogant, big headed, drunk on his own hype.

Even if he does prove to be decent player he's got the kind of self important attitude that means he'll soon start sulking and throwing strops at the dross he's surrounded by, team mates and manager.

Turns out we were all wrong and they arent at all biased against City. Here's the response for my complaint about Stone's "few neutrals will have sympathy for Guardiola" comment...View attachment 94111

Today's latest puff-piece by Stone has given me cause to follow up my complaint with further context.

Apparently because their leftbacks are injured, Amrabat is having to play left-back, which means he can't replace....wait for it.... Kobbie Mainoo.

1 first team appearance in January.

So I ask, where is the "analysis" to say “Given the riches he has lavished on his squad, few neutrals will have sympathy for Ten Hag".....

What does Ten Hag actually do?

Said to a United fan that I still cannot understand the tactics as it just looks like a very expensive longball team, always looking for the runner from defence. With a loathing look, he agreed, and you could see the wheels turning as he finally accepted the conclusion that he isn’t what they need.

Park the bus hoofball... he's just Noddy mk2 but without the silly gormless grin, instead he's adopted the oh so stern look whilst standing on the touchline clearly not having a clue about what to do.

Bring Ronaldo home, that will sort it all out

He's played a few games and he's been ok - considering the quality of his teammates, that's not difficult. But there's a touch of Harry Kane(pen) about him. Doesn't like getting stuck in when it's 'backs-to-the-wall' time (as it usually is with the rags), and it seems to be all about the 'Hollywood goal' for him: dramatic and overly spectacular. Basically, not a team player.

He'll have a few decent games and the media will start building yet another pedestal for a rag player, then the cold winter nights will set in and he'll go missing.
