Well, what DO you watch for? Like - I remember plenty of shite games under Alex Ferguson. They're not all going to be classics are they, but what do you get out of moaning about it? I've looked at your postings and you have like 50 pages worth of bitching and whining. You have 50 pages of posts without a single nice thing to say about Manchester United, you know, the club you 'support'? You're calling people "top reds" for calling you out, but the limit of your contribution to Redcafe seems to be calling every single one of our players "atrocious" or any one of a hundred synonyms, slating the manager, and avoiding anything positive to do with the club.
And I'm sure you'll attack me for saying it but well, we won against a really dirty side? Can us top reds be happy about that please?
Look, I appreciate you have taken the time to explore my posting history and I also appreciate your little passive aggressive approach to 'showing me up' but I can see how I come across with my posts (which is why I've been trying to stay away from here a bit more). Most of my 'aggressive' posts are in response to some utter tosh where people are trying to claim some higher moral ground instead of holding this club - manager, CEO and owners - to the standard we should. And that is play well, win trophies and entertain the fans. The emphasis being on the last one.
I can take a scrappy win in Europe. Hell, I became a fan of United what feels like a lifetime along because we'd come through some crazy tight spots. However, the win today is just another one in a string of poor, poor performances. It doesn't matter if it's league, cup, EL or a local garden friendly game. Manchester United are playing dire football. And that is because we have inadequate staff, who fail to set us up properly, manage our squad well and just generally have no place at our club because they have no credentials.
Now you can try and spin as much as you want but this is not how we used to play under Fergie. We were exciting against some of the dead teams and would be practical if the oppposition was on or above our footballing level. In any case, we were fearless, risk-taking and aggressive in our approach. OGS and this current era doesn't have to be like the Fergie one but please don't compare it to SAF because that's just an insult.
If you can sit down and watch game after game after game of this crap where we struggle against some no-name team and cannot entertain at a basic level, more power to you. But I didn't start supporting this club because I want to fall asleep while watching them play.
