There was quite a few. I can't be bothered to find them. One poster said all Bruno does is score goals. As if that's a bad thing.
It's actually true. It's crazy but really there're some here who are United fans and have been trying to convince us Bruno isn't all that and the stats make him look better than what he's. Crazy but these people exist.

It was utter class that they waited to announce Varane today. That is united saying we’re for the fans

That’s pretty fukking psychotic. Grealish is a magnificent footballer and I’d even be ok with someone claiming he’s close to Bruno, but Jack ain’t no Bruno.

We win 5-1 and the first thing you do is try to point score. That's the reason why we have such a divide in the forum. Just enjoy the win.
:lol:

So you’re allowed to bitch and whinge like a spoilt little girl and when you’re shown to be hysterical you pull the “how are we supposed to get along when you are like this?” card? Kindly feck off :lol:

No, I think both are stupid. There are definitely some who go over the top and then there are some that deny any valid criticism of the club. But this thread is definitely point scoring. I'm sure you'd be happy to see the same when we lose a game.

In all honesty I expected this, now it’s about thrashing Spurs, Wolves, Arsenal, we must carry this forward. Our attacking talent is pretty frightening now.

The key to the season is if Pogba can keep his level from the left.

Can’t afford any injuries to Shaw, Maguire or Bruno.

I think the lesson is to not to constantly whinge on the cafe, and then it can’t be thrown in your face. Easy.

I’d like to see the actual posts that claimed Grealish > Bruno. If posted seriously, that’s a banworthy offense.
I find it hard to believe anyone would post that. Certainly can't be more than 2-3...

Nah, they'll just do their typical hypocritical act and try to shut down discussion. All quite predictable.

This place wont change anytime soon, one obnoxious side have a go at another after one game, no lessons learned i see, after which they will blame each other for this place being toxic.

You have to admit, the poster is right on how our fans have so much negativity towards the club. Same thing with the Maguire situation imo.

Of course he is. It’s the daily, toxic fans taking umbrage at this. The Everton have a better squad than us crowd

:lol: it's sad to see how bitter you are, man. You must be one sad person to hold onto something from more than a year ago. Glad to see I'm still in your head though.

Just something that sticks in my mind because of how over the top ridiculous it was. Then the same poster tells us it’s fans happy over a win that’s splitting the fan base to top it all off.
Couldn’t make it up.

Do you think the club is a joke?
As a corporate entity and the people in charge of running us, yes, I do. Especially when it comes to selling players.

Our players and manager (despite my deep reservation) are a different matter. I am confident we'll do well this season.

In any case, the phrase can mean different things to different people and I don't see why threads like these are necessary, especially because they become a circlejerk for one side of the told-you-so crowd. At least quote some people but even that, we've been waiting for weeks to watch United play, so shall we at least focus on the game...

Okey mate =) It will probably be one of the biggest debates throughout the whole season, but lets have it your way.
No it not. Sancho is 21 and is a generational talent whom was involved in 34 goals last season. He’ll take United up a level. Grealish is quality player but I’d pick Sancho signing every day of the week.

Don't let the bastards grind you down.

This forum has been an embarrassment over the summer. The hatred for Pogba, the disrespect towards Ole, the panic over fitness and preparedness.
I never understood the worries about fitness and how prepared we would be, pretty much every club is in a similar boat.

That Varane thread was toxic. No benefit of the doubt, no understanding, just constant bashing of the club. Comparing us to teams that they have no knowledge of their own transfer situations. I've seen City, Chelsea etc have transfers take ages to complete or signings take more time to announce. What our fans used to know, but don't seem to understand anymore is that United are the biggest club in world football ( arguable with only Madrid). They recieve more attention than any other club, so opposition fans, pundits etc are going to always talk about anything we do. In the past, you couldn't really attack us because we were constantly winning, now that we haven't been no.1 for some time, we are an easy target. When Fergie didn't win the league, there were always comments about him being past it, which seem stupid now. Point being our fans should not join in on the negativity and realize that we have the coverage and attention we have due to our size rather than how poor/bad news, media, opposition fans tell you.
