Bring back Wilf McGuiness.

The arrogance of their players is genuinely incredible, just been watching the interviews after the game and the poundland haaland says that he scored 3 goals if you count the offside one which he was a little bit cheated on and that his second goal was a signature goal, firstly your team lost so be humble, second we dont count offside goals and u were offside so thats not cheated and thirdly you havent scored enough goals to have a signature goal and who the fuck has a signature goal you arrogant wannabe

I don't think there is a person at that club who isn't a full-blown narcissist.

Not ashamed one bit to say it, and not for the first time but I laughed and masturbated at the same time.

Rags know this is just confirmation of who and where they are. Mediocrity, with former glory being clung onto because of their name.

A very poorly ran club. Incompetent from the top. Their stadium is stuck back in the era of those past glories, but to the eye, all these years later, it absolutely resembles their current state.

Their fans know it all, too.

Not all my outlaws keep thinking they have turned the corner- it’s great to watch

Neil Ashton trying to weaponise the club selling ticket in the home end to Galatasary fans. Blaming "outside ticket agencies" despite some rags complaining it's the club selling their seats.

I'm going back 15 years on this one : I had a footballing mate who was a fanatical ManUre fan ( but I should add - a very decent sort of person ) who was the very proud possessor of TEN ManU Season Tickets. He acquired the right to purchase these season tickets by his selling ManU Supporters Club raffle tickets. He had to sell £30 of raffle tickets per week per ticket - that worked out at £15000 for the whole season !. The strange thing about it was that when it came to important cup games he had to enter his 10 tickets into a raffle to try and obtain a ticket. Despite having the 10 Season Tickets he very rarely "won" a ticket to those big cup games.
On the other hand, I was recently acquainted with another avid ManUre fan, who despite being superficially a charmer was a thoroughly obnoxious sort of person. Whatever the game, he could always obtain as many tickets as he wanted. He specialised in away games in Europe for which acquiring tickets was never a problem. He clearly had useful contacts. ( surely not Sir Bobby ? ).
Another friend - recently retired, has decided to attend the occasional game at Old Toilet. He tells me he simply rings a number he has been given, books a ticket, collects said ticket outside the ground, and hands over agreed amount of cash to an "Irish Guy" inside the ground who apparently "owns" an entire block of seats. It's the United Way !
Lordy1 We City fans complain about many aspects of ticketing at the Etihad but I can't help thinking we are treated with more respect by our club than our counterparts at Old Toilet. ( well -at least for the time being )

Just thinking about the managers they hired since baconface.

They hired Moyes, presumably on the grounds that he was Scottish, like baconface. That didn't work.
They then decided it wasn't being Scottish that was the key, but being a serial winner. So they hired Mourinho then van Gaal. That didn't work.
They then decided they needed someone with the 'united DNA' so they hired Solskjaer. That didn't work.

Having decided that hiring someone with similar qualities to baconface probably wasn't a great strategy, they looked around and decided that Klopp had done a great job in turning Liverpool's fortunes around so they hired Rangnick, the man who invented the 'gegenpressing' style that Klopp aodopted. That didn't work.

Finally, they decided that the only solution was to hire someone like Pep, so they hired Ten Bob, who not only worked under Pep but was also bald. That doesn't seem to be working so what the fuck are they going to do next, as it looks like they've run out of ideas?

& that’s how they pick their players, it’s insane.

Only if you like watching hari kiri

Preferable to watching Harry Maguire.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Global warming will be the next on the list of why OT is falling down and letting in water ?? I feel a song coming on

ALL that I knew was the whole in their roof was letting in water, LETTING IN WATER

...ahem, sorry to be pedantic but.. Hole in their roof or Whole of their roof, which one is it ??

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Yeah I thought that. Referee just making it easy for himself, I suspect.

I wonder, if he gave a red and the VAR disagreed, can the downgrade it to a second yellow instead, or can they only cancel the red?

Anyway, how many reds is that now for him in less than a season and a half? I know of 3.

3 and should have had 2 more.
1 against Neves versus Wolves at Molineux and 1 against us in the FA Cup final on Akanji.
He's a moon faced ****.

 

[Groke]

I keep saying it. No elite coach that favor high pressing will tolerate Rashford. Ten Hag is spineless.

he's the only slightly marketable player they've got - won't be allowed to get rid, i imagine
