It’s a fabulous feeling to keep looking at the PL table every day it always cheers me up, come on Fulham do it you know the whole country is behind you.
 
Friday.

So that’s the last day of another working week upon us.

Another working week spent hating the scum just a little bit more than I did the working week before.

SCUM.

CTID.

As you were Blues.

Oh and in case any of you feel the need to feel the slightest bit of sympathy for the raggy fuckers…..

Just look at that list of players you've highlighted.

These were either quality players in their own right or players with great potential, all of whom signed for the rags and to a man either regressed or completely plateaued.

You can add into that mix some quality managers too who have failed at that club.

It's not a coincidence that when players and managers leave the rags either by mutual agreement or other means they often go onto thrive with other teams.

Why is this?

That's the story the British media need to investigate instead of constantly trying to steer the narrative to: "This time it's going to be different"

This time isn't going to be any different to last season, the season before that and the season David Moyes joined them.

Manchesniteh is a Brand! A corporate project! The proverbial cash cow that their shareholders and most of the British media have been suckling on for years.

That's never going to change and that's what they mean when they say Manchesniteh is too big to fail.

Their fans (bless em) hear this and think oh! Great, we'll be competing for Europe this season. Unbeknownst to them they're the ones who are actually culpable in keeping the coffers rolling in each year by investing in the replica shirts, duvet covers and matching lampshades.

The rags actually remind me of the the tobacco industry. The greatest challenge tobacco companies face isn't keeping their clients coming back for more it's getting them hooked in the first place. The rags have got enough of a fanbase to keep them in clover for years to come.

The owners of Filth FC have no interest whatsoever whether the club compete for European football or stay above the drop zone. As long as the money keeps coming in nothing is ever going to change.

I think we can safely say that the rags have become victims of their own success.

Spot on to be honest. Honestly, watching players and managers go to United is like watching talented actors sign up for a film directed by Michael Bay, they arrive with potential, but by the end it’s all explosions, no plot, and you’re wondering how on earth they forgot how to kick a ball, let alone act.

United isn’t a football club anymore, it’s an overpriced theme park. The ride names say it all: "The Theatre of Dreams".

The media still try to flog us the same tired fairy tale: “This time it’s different.” Yeah, and I’m winning Love Island next summer. The only thing different about United is the sponsor on their sleeve!

Their fans genuinely believe they’re “too big to fail,” but really, they’re just too profitable to change. Like you said - it’s the corporate equivalent of Big Tobacco. Only instead of selling addiction in a box, they’re selling trauma in a shirt. And their supporters will keep buying the replica kits, mugs, lampshades, and probably branded toilet roll to wipe away the tears after another Europa League night in Kazakhstan.

The best bit? When these players escape Old Trafford, it’s like watching someone leave a toxic relationship. Suddenly they’re smiling again, playing freely, rediscovering themselves as players. Just got to look at Rashford's recent interview.

United fans will keep queuing up though. It’s like they’re paying £90 a shirt to cosplay as title contenders. Meanwhile, the Glazers are sat in Florida, lighting cigars with season ticket renewals.

Victims of their own success? Absolutely. It’s like they peaked in the 90s and early 00's, forgot the world moved on, and now they’re basically the Nokia 3310 of Football Clubs. Durable brand, still nostalgic to some, but ultimately useless in the modern game.

But, at some point I do expect them to come back. Maybe not this decade, but they're spending billions and billions. Let's just hope they combust as a football club with overloaded debt.
 
And so it starts first conversation at work, are you watching the boys me sorry don't have the comedy channel ,next you do realise we've got the new boys upfront the rat in the centre, de shite and jar jar binks in defence we are back!after I stopped laughing he told me there defenders man for man are better than ours they truly are deluded fuckwits

This is the equivalent of City signing Wanchope and Huckerby in 2000/01. They can do a job, will have their moments but they will not set the PL on fire.

Fingers crossed 25/26 see's them finish in the same position we did that season.

They are indeed..we have family visiting us at the moment (united fan). They say they should have smashed arsenal - that maybe so, but they didn't.

Said the Derby not too far away....he replied saying he fancies their chances and that they will finish top 3 this year

It's the hope that kills them

I remember coming off a few 1nil defeats relieved, knowing we are levels below. I never followed it up thinking we’ve arrived & will finish top 3.

The front 3 they were impressed with didn’t fucking score. When was the last time they got excited too early….

Højlund, Garnacho, Mainoo show Man United's bright future vs. West Ham

Man United have struggled this season, but a comfortable 3-0 win over West Ham was aided by a trio of young players who have a lot to give.

To anyone that says they should have smashed arsenal, why didnt they then? bad luck, the ref, excuse after excuse the reason they didnt smash arsenal is cos they didnt deserve a thing.
 
Ludicrous.
If they want an FOC to balance it up, I’m available cos Pep didn’t want me….and I thought he favoured old men.
