This is what the silly rag bastards dont get. They think the fan base will last forever but the fact is, kids today dont care that united used to be good, my youngest 2 (12 and 9) actually didnt even know they used to be good!

When i was at school and uniteds trajectory was on the rise every kid who either wasnt into to football initially or didnt have a dad or whatever to push them to support a certain team chose united.
Now its about turn.
They choose city.

I can think of A LOT of examples (through kids school mates and coaching u10s so i fair example) of kids whos dads arent into football or dads are not from round here choosing city. But none united

I hope your correct.

The trouble is the media and broadcasters are more desperate than ever to hype united up and keep their cash cow relevant and prominent regardless of how shit they actually are.

And unfortunately young minds can be easily influenced by incessant and relentless hyperbole into believing something is worthy of their attention and admiration.

To be honest Jacko my daughter and my niece and nephew are 21, they literally get all their news off tictoc, insta and all the other social media shit. I think these days kids don't watch news, read newspapers, SSN is irrelevant to them.

I cringe at the electronic/ gaming segments on matchday live, but it's how we'll attract the young 'uns these days.

Literally put on SSN for first time in at least a year just now, it's still utterly abysmal. The fat bearded one in skinny jeans really laying into the hard boiled one.

If Mr flaccid has lost fanboy TV, sadly he may be trousering his enormous payoff once Vile have administered the last rites.

I had the misfortune to enter a pub that had SSN on in the background, couldn't believe the amount of adverts for a subscription service - It's basically an advert channel interspersed with regurgitated red-shirt nonsense.

This lot are so far behind the top clubs which unfortunately they are not one of them, look how long it took us to start winning trophies it does happen overnight they are seriously ten years at least behind the rest. Hopefully longer.

That game last night was 2 founding members of the G14. Those clubs thought that by being successful at that period of time it meant they will be forever, destroyed by their own arrogance & yet if they’d have studied the last 100 years they’d know it was likely.

Enjoy this period blues, take nothing for granted.

This puts me in something of a dilemma. I never watch them unless we a playing. However, they are going to be on the end of an absolute hammering sooner rather than later and I need cheering up.

Tape 'em! I only watch MotD these days if the Rags have been whipped, and not until 24hrs later. I can just watch the Rag net bulging! Next best thing to Haaland hat trick!
