  1. Which player do you dislike the most?

    Andy Townsend. He really gives it the big'un when realistically he only had a slightly more successful playing career than I did (his two league cups vs my three cub scout Cup win's 92 - 95). Plus I'd wager I was more pivotal to those teams.
  2. All ticket/travel information thread - 2023/24 edition - Please be careful purchasing tickets

    I assume the "corporate" season ticket holders will also get first dibs on the tickets. Meaning it 22,000 plus all those in the posh seats. I'm a season ticket holder who opted out of cup games and the tone of the email makes me think I don't have a hope of getting tickets. I remember back...
  3. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    This is absolutely spot on. You could see it clearly last night in the first 20 minutes or so. Our attack narrowed and played intricate little passes between them. It is really coming on well, I have high hopes. There will be more set backs (hopefully none as bad as sunday) but I think it...

    Did you park at the Trafford Centre or is there "matchday parking" nearby. I used to park in front of the nursery opposite the police station, but they closed that over covid. Been parking in the official car parks since and its a pain to get away from

    Obviously haven't been to any cup games this season, but you have to upgrade over 65's for PL games. Also ypu can only forward a ticket to a member now. Swear last season you could forward to a non-member as long as you guaranteed they would adhere to the t's and c's.
  6. The player(s) that are the hill you are prepared to die on?

    Totally agree on Veron. Was such a silky passer of the ball. I always thought if we had kept him for one more season we could have worked our how to use him and had a quality player on our hands. Shame, went to Chelsea who also didn't know how to use him. Never fulfilled his potential in...
  7. Great United goals that are often forgotten

    Cole's goal vs. Spurs last game of the season in 99 is special to me. The way he controlled it and lifted it over walker was fantastic! Also, the significance of the goal. It felt like the game was going away from us, then Beckham equalised, but without that goal we wouldn't have won the league...

    Signed. Sorry for your loss.

    After an answer to this as well. Been trying to set up "relationships" with people for ages and the system isn't working. This is so much easier than having a credit card sized card to scan at the door......
  10. Which United signing excited you the most before they played?

    I was most excited by Veron. As previous posters have said, genuinely world class player who should have taken us up a level. Most recent was Falcao. Was driving to a site in ramsgate, got so excited by the news on the radio missed the turning and ended up in Dover!!
  11. Bruno Fernandes | Signed

    Sounds more like we are trying the old champ man cheat of offering the maximum fee, getting it accepted and changing the bid to £0! If it worked in 96, why not now!?!
  12. Post match vs Crystal Palace

    Ok,a few points on last night's match. 1. We always seem to struggle going down to London. What seem to be straight forward games for our competition are often tough for us. Not a new phenomenon. Struggled under fergie, moyes and lvg. 2. Palace this season have overperformed against the...
