  1. Famous United fans...

    Now that makes sense! Seen them live once and they had like famous war criminal names on their guitars in that old German Gothic font!
  2. Famous United fans...

    That is the most unreal thing I have seen today. Tom 'South of Heaven / Reign in Blood' Araya(n)? I need a lie down.
  3. Post match vs Sheffield United

    That's true that, I think all the Celtic people are historical travellers, especially from absorbing Scandinavian and Viking cultures. I suppose they were the pioneers of their day just like we're thinking about some form of settlement on Mars or the Moon. Their use of the lodestone to...
  4. The fanbase's role in the erosion of standards

    Ahh, the good old days! You'd think with inflation and the money in the game they could lob fivers over at least.
  5. Post match vs Sheffield United

    That's the sort of problem I would like to see Brian Clough tackle.
  6. Post match vs Sheffield United

    Haha, just reading that, it looks bad. But we're firmly 19th century still. But it is actually true, a lot of Scots emigrated to Eastern Europe to work in the steel and coal industry. Horrendous way of describing it, I agree!
  7. The fanbase's role in the erosion of standards

    Oof! Now that does make me feel my age! 'Fond' memories of them 'donating' 2 pence coins at high speed towards us back then.
  8. Post match vs Sheffield United

    I've been waiting for someone else to make that reference about names, there's MacAllister, and I think a Polish guy and it's unsettled me! I know all about how Scots went to big industrial places in Ukraine years ago or other mining countries so you see people with fair skin and red hair but...
  9. The fanbase's role in the erosion of standards

    Fair point, I think I was on rant mode while wearing the rose tinted glasses. I suppose there's an improvement for clubs to make better squad investment when they sell sought-after players much like Brighton did with Caicedo.
  10. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Never go full LVG!
  11. Jadon Sancho | 2023/24 Performances | Dortmund (loan)

    I saw it in a trashy tabloid that Sancho would consider coming back after EtH left but I'd rather not support him given the hassle he caused, it would be bowing to mediocrity.
  12. The fanbase's role in the erosion of standards

    Agreed. When SAF left, I thought I was being clever because I thought some form of mean reversion would happen. It seemed obvious to me that we weren't going to see lightning captured in a bottle again so be prepared for some painful performances over the next 3 or 4 years. I’m not talking...
  13. The fanbase's role in the erosion of standards

    I think there's a lot of truth in what you're saying but it's quite complex. There's definitely a problem with having to accommodate our "way" and I'm as guilty as anyone I suppose. I always had this anti-Jose mindset but when appointed I felt like I had to give him my 100% support. In a wider...
  14. The fanbase's role in the erosion of standards

    I liked that one as well. Funnily enough it sounds like something Agent Smith from the matrix might say.
  15. Who are the "problem" players.

    Totally agree. If I was in charge of recruitment at Arsenal, Citeh or 'pool and they said take your pick from our team as a man for man replacement, I'd struggle to justify it. Probably Garnacho & Mainoo. We must have very poor scouting to keep getting these midfielders that are only lasting...
