United Thread - 2023/24

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Operation 'protect the brand' in full swing from the fist game of the season I see.

With these cunts it happens far too often to be coincidence.

Utd fans, your club disgust me with the decisions you keep getting. Actual cheating!

And the Wolves coach gets a card for protest.

Rag mate in the group chat just responded to us blues saying ‘at least I can be critical of my own team’ based on tonight’s performance.

My response:

“Obviously I’d see more faults at City but we’re 100 points, domestic treble winners, 3 time champs in a row, treble winners etc so it’s harder to find major issues for me to be too critical about.”

Keep the Premier League brand appealing to those who support a team while they live abroad and won't even go to their games policy.

Want to play out from the back. Spend a fortune on a keeper to do it, then tell him to hoof it up all game. Want to play possession football, but can't keep possession at the end of the game and resort to just clogging it up to runners who then lose it immediately. Lucky as fuck today. Fernandes and Mount were invisible. Casimiro as a lone DM is about as effective as a lollipop lady holding a stop sign. They've got no-one in midfield who can just control the game and keep it ticking over. They're all either flair players who are constantly losing the ball or thugs with a limited passing range.

Ushited were outplayed tonight. If Wolves could have finished we could have had another 6-1 on our hands. Lucky bastards.

Have they ever been on the wrong side of a major VAR decision?

They may have but I can’t off the top of my head think of any.

I can think of many that have gone for them.

Exactly. There are loads of decisions where you can see it being given both ways. But for them, they're only ever given one way. I said the last time we played them and they got that bullshit penalty for a handball that Jack knew nothing about that we've literally never had a vague dodgy decision against them, yet I could name about a dozen just off the top of my head for them.

There's no way they can play with just one defensive midfielder in Casemiro.

The front 5 just don't track back and they got completely overrun in midfield.

Better teams will absolutely annihilate them

I really think I'm going to have to take a step back from football this coming season... As much as I enjoy the fantastic football and subsequent success that City achieve I just can't face another 9 months of seeing these jammy twats getting comprehensively outplayed WEEK IN WEEK OUT yet scraping the narrowest of undeserved wins thanks to a combination of opposition strikers constantly shitting themselves in front of goal and corrupt officiating.

They'll play Fred against better teams, presumably. Although hopefully not. I could do with a laugh.
