Man U

[Tashyboy]

As a liddle man city fan for the last 50 years it's fair to say ave had enough stick off the rags to last 10 lifetimes, and to be fair a lot of it was probably fair. I have a university degree in watching crap football.

It is ironic that the accusations thrown at city, Chelsea, Liverpool, etc from the rag fans " that you bought your trophies" is now a bit hollow seeing as how they have just "knee jerked" and bought Mata with others to follow.

the oxfam window picture is a couple of weeks old now but I put the same notice at the side of our clocking in machines at work last night. The response from the rags was hilarious. However what was not expected was the response from non rag fans and non football fans. Mainly along the lines of "its about time they got some stick back after all the muck they have given out over the years".

it seems it's not just me that has been a target of ridicule over the years, however I will say that most rag fans that I talk to who go to "the swamp" and actually watch them are quite educated. It's the Sky sports Rag utd fans that rub me up the most that don't know what area of Manchester sorry, Salford the swamp is actually sited.

finally.

Blue moon you saw me standing alone

The world is always a nicer place when Manure are struggling - the next best will be Maureen going another season winning sweet FA

I too am loving their misery and the fact that nearly every Monday now my boss is very very very quiet about the weekends football.

Now, lets get them knocked off their perch.

There does seem to be quite a bit of 'hatere' towards Manchester United on here.

Never understood it myself. I'm a Stoke fan (so know nothing about football) and can honestly say I couldn't give a monkeys how other clubs are doing.

I don't really like revelling in the misery of others, but in the case of Alex Fergusson i'll make an acception, to see his sour puss face after the final penalty last night, priceless.

Wonder how many times he's thought about coming out of retirement?

As not only is Moyes not doing the biz, Moyes got the full endorsement from Fergusson.

No trophies this year and every possibility that league position will rule them out of Europe next season as well.

 

[Qwerty]

If it continues it'll be a reverse of what we've seen in recent years with the blue side of Manchester the true supporters will continue to be exactly that the rest will disappear into the holes recently vacated by those citeh fans who couldn't give a toss prior to Sheik An Vac's billions arriving on the scene!

I agree with this although I don't think we'll see united sink to the depths that citeh did. Im hoping it'll filter out all the daytrippers and JCLs and maybe then you'll See/hear a bit more passion in the stands at OT.

I think the main problem for united is keeping on top of the Glazers Debt. This has been manageable since 2005 due to success/Champions League every year etc, also the Ronaldo money didn't exactly get reinvested. I'd imagine that 4th champions league spot is hugely important.

But Fergie left him what exactly? an old, ageing and inexperienced side that needed major investment as most of that team would not walk into another premiership starting line up, that's something that couldn't be said of many of the manure teams in the past!

Thanks for the edit.....sorry about that!

To be honest my hatred of them comes 99% from the Man Utd fans I know + Alex Ferguson.

Arrogant, ignorant, obnoxious, utterly deplorable.

Spot on - have met the odd Manc fan who isn't the above but very rare.

They have always been arrogant about their club - even during the 70's and 80's when they won no major titles they still believed themselves the best in the country

Shame they are still not the most successful club in England

Yes old Bacon Face was a picture last night. Love to know what he really thinks at the moment

Personally I don't think they'd be doing that much better if he had stayed on another year!

Have to disagree there mate. The fear factor has gone for a start and that is huge. I know the players would still be the same but tactics would be different and they would certainly have got some players during the summer unlike the shambles that occurred. I think if SAF was still in charge they would be in the top 4

I don't for a second imagine Man U will be getting relegated in the near future and certainly not as far down as Citeh reached at their low, but it was amazing how many people I know (limited) that couldn't care less about football when they were mid/low in the premier league then the news broke that there was a extremely wealthy backer on side - 1 guy at my old club as an example went over night from not caring to being dressed head to toe in sky blue and/or Citeh golf kit!

indeed, but that's the beauty of the situation. Fergie must have thought Moyes had it in him to get the best of the players he was leaving in his legacy, but it's becoming apparent that this is not the case. Be it previously they were playing for the manager (Fergie|) or that Moyes has not, as yet managed to bring the current Man U squad around to his style.

But that written Manu are not exactly ageing or inexperienced, apart from the obvious older players (Ferdinand, Rooney, Evra, Van Persie) the majority are all in the 20-25 age range and all have over 100 appearances for the club, so it's not as if they haven't played together.

That had just won the championship by 11 points. Yes some freshening up was maybe needed been without a decent midfield pairing for years, but as I stated earlier the players are just not putting a shift in.
