It shouldn't be a tough game.

The rags are shite, and I don't mean just shite, I mean really shite. Amateur almost.

I still think Pep and some of our players still see them as a big club.

I've been saying it for years, we should play them not their past reputation.

That’s what I was trying to say, while also pointing out the fact that Fletcher was implying that the rags are still a major force in the English game, which from last season’s results and the performances and results so far this term, is, frankly, laughable.

There are bound to be fishy decisions in the game. I feel it in my sole.

Net; plaice; scales;Gill; fishfingers/Rashford; trawl; chip - there's probably plenty more but thought I'd save us a bit of time.

Booo spoilsport, we'd have a whale of a time without people like you ;-)

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

They will play there strongest team against Grimsby and hopefully still get battered

Can't be their strongest, VAR ain't playing tonight.

Battered by the "Cod Army" ?...

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Hell yes!

In fact, if you're not careful you'll end up getting caught up on the roundabout, and could spend the next ten years going in circles.

That roundabout you're on about is called the M25

Hopefully their defence is all over the plaice.

I’m sure United’s 1.1bill worldwide fan base(arf!) will be watching United play Grimsby Town tonight in the Carabao Cup.

Not necessarily a tough game but I guarantee we won’t get 3 points……Pep Will ‘bigging up’ interim & his players like he does every team we play…

Yes.

It's annoying isn't it.

I often berate Pep for blowing smoke up their arse before a game. It's seen by their manager and players as an endorsement from Pep. It's just the shot in their arm they need to get them up for the game.

Mrs. B, says to me: "what do you expect him to say?"

I reply: "fuck all, or at least be ironic or sarcastic about it, if you have to mention them at all"

If more managers & players across the league were to treat the rags with the contempt that I've got for them, they'd be in a relegation battle every year.

 

[KentBlue]

We’ll probably donate 3 points to keep him in a job….

God! I fucking hope not!

 

[Tracking back]

Now, they're my kind of stats.

That club is a fucking shim sham.

The media in this country is a disgrace and they have no shame whatsoever. If that was any other "big" club in the league they'd be openly mocking them (with the obvious exceptions).

Despite the fact that the rags have been irrelevant for years, watching the media propping them up is criminal. It's beyond embarrassing, and I'm sure on some level they know it, the rags know it and anyone with a modicum of common sense knows it too.

Just let the fuckers sink. That's my advice. It'll make for better reading too.
