United Thread - 2023/24

De Gea was their player of the season a few times. Without him they'd have been mid table for a few seasons

Confirmation today that he's left the rags. Regardless of how good or bad he was, it appears the vermin treated him poorly.

He's a good shot-stopper apart from anything at his near post. He doesn't come for crosses either. The most over-rated player of all time. The main reason United don't concede many goals is they pack their defence for most matches so they can hit teams on the counter attack.

I don't know about the most over rated of all time.
Rooney.
Rashford.
Fatty Shaw.
That buck toothed cheat.
Beckham.
Most players that put that stupid shirt on

They have much weaker players in other positions. I think they just need his wages off the books, and the way he was scapegoated for the fa cup final defeat was just like the way the dippers turned on karius after RM outplayed them in the cl.

You never walk alone. The Irony.

Average goalie for me a shirt arse goalie never commanded is area could pass out shit his pants when defender passed back to him more mistakes than any goalie I’ve ever watched!

A shot stopper who made 99% of his saves like it’s world class with the way he dived!

Shame they getting a goalie now that truly will save them points…

Tell you what De Gea was still good for them few times even last year he pulled them out of the shit. Very short sighted our Raggie neighbours. Their keeper better hit the ground running because that shite on front of him ain't going to help him one bit

I can remember a few years ago Graeme Souness saying on T.V. that "the top 4 (meaning Chels, Arse, Rags, dips) are always going to finish top 4".
I used to think, "Oh, no they aren't, how can you say that?"
Our rise to the top table was briefly tolerated, a one off fluke they thought. Little did they know that we were the real deal and were not going to slide back down into mid table obscurity. So the C/L slots were no longer guaranteed for those 4 clubs.
Shortly it's going to be the top 5 clubs who get into the C/L and even that is probably not going to be enough places to accommodate the historic top 4 what with the emergence of Newcastle and Spuds, Brighton and maybe another surprise package lurking?
Funnily enough I think that the rags could come a cropper rather than the dips next season. I think the dips and arse will finish 2nd and 3rd (not sure in which order) and Newcastle and Chelsea 4th and 5th (again not sure in which order).

They have improved, they would have improved if they brought Mr Tumble in to stand in for him.

Best goalie in the world my giddy arse.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

I guess that means the price of a new goalkeeper has gone up. Well played, de gea.

Bloody he’ll forgetting myself.
Twatting scum of the highest order. Done
