United Thread - 2023/24

It's obvious that he has delusion / judgement issues seeing as he 1) got the job with rags 2) was convinced that Anthony was any fucking good

And their bullshit therapy is clearly a powerful treatment

He's done fuc*all to improve them and spent a fortune doing it, delusions par for the course with all things rag related.

At last a utd fan who gets it/willing to admit it.


“Wolves were the better team, comfortably. More power, seemed fitter, more alert. more organised.

I am re-assessing my thoughts for the season based on that. I'm really disappointed.

Manchester United's standards have dropped. We no longer want the best players. Brighton identify and develop players better than what we do. Newcastle buy better players. How does that happen?

City, Arsenal, Liverpool would not tolerate the (lack) of quality that too many of our players have. Last season was fantastic because we made great strides from OGS.. but ETH has to realise the "..we have to raise the standards..." rhetoric will wear thin this season. Too many other clubs have improved and we need to do more.

And my fear is that we do not have the players. Some of our fans need to wake up and be realistic about some of the players we have.

We lack leaders. Antony and AWB cannot be players who make a Manchester United starting XI. Never. That cannot be our standard. No way. Our team has big problems because our right side is unreliable. You don't know what either AWB or Antony will do. How can they be good enough for Manchester United FC? How?

We do not know how we are supposed to play. Who is our ball player, who gets us to play? Eriksen was key for us last season before he got injured. Casimero was miles off. Mount a little lost but I do not blame him, not at all.

Defensively, we were so, so, so open.

That's an awful performance. Awful. Awful.”

Well in fairness, they, like ratty and spitty are very good at stating the bleeding obvious …!

They’ve done their job though, the 3 points went to United. The officials who were on VAR get a week off and they rotate round more video refs to keep missing blatantly obvious match changing decisions. The person who fucked up will have another opportunity to do it again in a couple of weeks time.

People outside this forum will say we are paranoid tin foil hat wearers. However I’ve never seen any other team, not even Liverpool benefit from the referee performances they get every week. They can persistently foul teams without any caution and when the big decisions happen on goals PGMOL give us some bullshit interpretation followed by a rule change to make it look like they are doing something.

Did we not benefit with the non award of a penalty against Rodri V Everton away?

No, the linesman had flagged for offside before the ball hit THE TOP OF HIS ARM.

As a previous poster highlighted, the linesman had already flagged. No one gets the amount of decision United get, the last two occasions we played them they got fortunate breaks allowing them to get back into both games. We don’t get them up the other end.

More performances like that twixt now and Xmas and, if they're 6th & 11 points off the top having just drawn 0-0 with some relegation dross,the knives and Zebra pants will be out for Ten Bob !!

So I've seen it said but I've also seen it said that wasn't a factor in the non award. Regardless, if it's all rigged wouldn't they have been free to award it and ignore the offside?
Same could probably be said for the top of the arm argument as well.

Sadly Howard Webb will continue to give them the points when required whilst gaslighting the nation that Ming The Penniless is the greatest coach ever.

A good video about how shit they are.
