United Thread - 2023/24

[Fiftyyearsandcounting]

I live near Glastonbury now, but I am Newton Heath born and bred. I have had a few sly comments when out in my City top. But they all generally shut up when they hear my Manc accent.

Pretty much the same with me, even amongst the few City lads I'm the only Manchester-born fan. Makes it difficult to call out the red for not being "true" fans when the same could apply to the City fans.

I’ve just got back from Tesco.

I wore my light City jacket, and on the way out, some twerp shouted, "United!"

My response: "Shit!"

"We’ll knock you off your perch." (I wonder where he got that from)

"You’ve made a fucking good start, haven’t you?"

"The money will run out."

"What money?"

"The oil money."

"When?"

"In about ten years."

"We won £210 million in prize money last season."

Silence.

The scary thing is, they live among us.

Most kids going through secondary school now will not remember the rags winning the league.

Our 14 year old grandson has no recollection of it.

That's an entire generation of school leavers/ new workers who just haven't seen it. It's fucking hilarious ;)

The scary thing is they don’t seem to realise that it isn’t just us that are miles ahead of them.

They have focused so much on us, trying to stop us by buying players they didn’t really want just to stop us doing so that they have completely taken their eye off the ball.

Great, never let the cunts get away with anything they are shit compared to us.

"We can’t have Fulham coming here, and dancing on our pitch!”

Arrogant twat!
