How do they alty taylor to ref their games?
While I’m at it they have no big screen, no away fans pitch side and the fcukin roof still leaks!

Sadly we are more or less around the same level now. We are a tad better but not much.

A big indication of how far we've regressed in two years

 

[blue_danube]

It will be different and a lot harder next season.

The reality is if they go into next season with the same squad, then yeah it'll be a struggle for them with all the games and they won't compete for the big ones...

But that also applies to us.

That's the harsh reality, we are not in a much better position. Our current squad also hasn't the quality to compete at the high level with the workload on top.

 

[Ban-jani]

You also missed them stealing the name of their shit stadium from the local cricket club or that they were originally founded by a scouser.
There's always next time if the Rag **** is brave enough to crawl from under his rock though :)

I’ll update on round two this week…

Yeah not disagreeing with that, but this thread is about United and my point was that their oldest players (Casemiro, Fernandes Shaw Maguire) have coincidentally also been their most consistent performers, plus their set piece threat is on a different level to ours.

In contrast our oldest players just look old.

Casemiro and Fernandes in particular have benefited from more rest time between games

All I’ve heard is how brilliant the rags are with world class players such as Bruno Messi

The rat is going to beat the assist record and we'll never hear the end of it

He's undoubtedly a rat and a complete twat, but if he played for City, we'd love him.

We were after him as well bet he is pissed off he chose the scum won fuck all leagues and champs league and he probably be gone this summer

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Scored their 2nd against the run of play,then Villas heads went. God I fucking despise em!

 

[BillCarlisle]

That really would be a disgrace but, St. Beneathus day isn't boxed off yet.

St. Beneathus Day will fall somewhat later this year, that's all. The granny shagger now calling for them to give Carrick the job is music to my ears. History has a habit of repeating itself. Especially with a guy who couldn't even manage the Smoggies.

Means nothing if you finish 4th

It'll be the difference between tues/wed European football, and the thurs night journeys to the arse end of the continent. Like him or not, he's easily their most important player.

 

[Newman Noggs]

His biggest asset, of course, being that he has only missed 6 games for united through injury in the last 7 years. That is unnatural good fortune.

 

[Father Paul]

They won't.

I agree. But next season may be different. Are we a team in decline or transition? Time will tell.

I think you know the answer deep down…….

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Can't believe the unflushable turds are 3rd.

 

[Metal Biker]

Can't believe the unflushable turds are 3rd.

Three places above the relegation zone last season, 3rd in this.

If that's not a 'VAR/PiGMOL assistance' corruption argument, I don't know what is.

 

[jimharri]

Very possible they finish above us this season. That is mental

Just wondering, when was the last time they did finish above us? Was it GPC's last season, or did they manage it in either of Pellegrini's last couple of seasons?
