United Thread - 2023/24

[jrb]

Scruffy Jim has taken over United with a 1/4 ownership. :-?

Masters at the PL shared a drink with Jim, congratulated him, and told Jim not to worry, because we’ll get the 115 cheating bastards, and get United back to where they have a divine right be, as PL champions, which is good for you, for United, for United fans, for me, and for the PL.

Garnacho has a face like a "bag o' hammers" as we used to say in Ireland.

The turd that won’t flush

But at the same time they are miles off ever contending

It's the hope that'll kill them,

I actually thought Villa played well apart from the finishing but my god thst braindead decision to not go after them while in top was a joke

Villa for the most part were the better side. I genuinely believe if anyone other than the Dippers or maybe Arse had scored the first goal VAR would've intervened and chalked it off.

I'm afraid we'll just have to accept the situation as it is until they become beyond hope... which hopefully won;t be too far away, once scruffy Jim's intervention fails.

They ARE hunting, albeit very slowly and keeping a careful eye on the bigger Cats waiting to eat them again.

They're hunting down a top four place about as effectively as Wile E Coyote hunted down Roadrunner.

Fact checking ruining narratives since…

would make more sense if each of these figures was adjusted to reflect inflation

Edit - I see I'm not the first to mention that

If I take my blue tinted spectacles off for a moment - I fear united have started the long climb back. The two forwards Garnacho and Hoijlund are playing well together and for each other (something that they seemed to have lacked for a while). Shaw is always solid (in two ways) at left back, Wan-Bissaka at right back is very hard to beat, although he's lacking going forward and Maguire has found a little form. They're short of creativity in midfield, certainly in the big games as Fernandez goes missing. Rashford is a problem for them, not a team player, plays in an unknown position and certainly not as good as he/they think he is.
With the addition of a good creative midfielder they could possibly finish in the top two or three next season.

Right, let's begin the pile on.

They are 6 first team players short of being genuine contenders, oh, and a manager, and thats ignoring the squad requirements to succeed these days. Without the different way they are refereed they're just Everton

Charming. All I did was post a pic of Mr Knighton. I don't think I deserved being called a **** for that.

A great piece of PR that the Rag loving media bought into straightaway. ‘The Wembley of the North’. Just like the ‘Noisy Neighbours’, coined by the (furious) Piss Can.
