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

When I first started going to games in the early 90’s, I had no idea about Liverpool and their success over the years prior. First I kind of noticed was when I got the PL sticker albums and it listed all the trophies each club had won. Still, it had absolutely no barring on how I saw them - as a team with a decent chance of maybe a UEFA cup spot. In my younger head Blackburn and Newcastle were a bigger deal when it came to the title race than Liverpool.

Fucking hell totally forgot about Zirkzee

Would have been better off buying a used Deal or No Deal fruit machine off Gumtree and just plonking it on the edge of the box.

Kirkzee is totally shite. Looks below a Championship level player. Liam Delap is light years ahead of him as a player at Ipswich.

It's weird, it's like they are deliberately buying below-average players at ridiculously over inflated prices for some reason. They have spent billions in the last ten years or so on utter garbage, and have ended up having to sell those players on at a loss - despite already having so much debt they have been forced to lay off staff in order to pay the bills.

They have an outstanding trainee manager set-up ...................is the wrong answer.

And we're the best team in the league.
Possibly the world.
Isn't wonderful.
I hope it really hurts the cunts.
Every last one.
Especially that pissed up bully

Their recruitment must be the worst of any club in Europe. They keep buying players whose stats in weak leagues like Holland, Denmark, Italy, or France, suggest they are nowhere near good enough for the PL. The media then start over-hyping these players. They bought Ugarte for £50m who was a total flop in an ordinary PSG team and had been dropped permanently to the bench. But the English press then started describing him as a brilliant prospect. I can only assume that Ten Haag is a moron who has no idea what he is doing. Happy days.
