  1. Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed

    If I remember correctly as a young lad in Salford Manchester United was my local team. Eff the global brand.
  2. Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed

    Woke from what? People today on average are far less educated than a few generations ago. There is something comforting to many of us with keeping our long held British traditions alive. Woke or not...
  3. Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed

    I often wonder what the average age of posters on here are. Fifteen? I was born in Salford in 1952 and as a young lad it seemed everybody had a picture of the queen somewhere in their homes. We had respect for our institutions. Now I feel like I'm in The Four Yorkshiremen... "And you try and...
  4. Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed

    Getting riled up because football matches are postponed shows how shallow and meaningless your life is.
  5. Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed

    Some of the most disrespectful and frankly sad comments I have read on this forum. Some of you lot are very small minded insignificant pathetic fools.
  6. Rashford considering his future...

    He has speed and occasionally a good shot but his first touch is awful and his ability to link up is non-existent sometimes. Nowhere near the natural talent that Martial had. Unfortunately neither one of them seems arsed to give it a go these days.
  7. Ralf Rangnick's consultancy role has been scrapped

    Nobody is claiming anything of the sort. If I was ETH I would want a clean slate to begin with and the ability to bring my own team. The fact is people at the top of the heap didn't appreciate being exposed so forcefully by Rangnick. The same can be said for many in the squad. In hindsight he...
  8. Ralf Rangnick's consultancy role has been scrapped

    Two weeks ago the consensus was everybody bar DDG and CR7 should be gone... they didn't deserve to wear the badge. Now it's RR's fault because he couldn't get the best out of them. What a load of tosh. He came here and was handed nothing. No transfers, Carrick and McKenna giving him the middle...
  9. Have we hit rock bottom yet?

    Look we haven't had a real manager for 3 seasons so the club at that level has been somewhat leaderless. We had awful contractual decisions made by Woodward et all. We have had players playing well under their capabilities. We have players who passed their sell by date years ago. This is all...
  10. United are the noisy neighbours

    I'm old enough to realize that life goes through cycles. The contrarian in me thinks that we may have a few smiles on our faces come this time next year. I'm not talking silverware but real progress. I don't worry about other teams capabilities, I worry about United. We still have the resources...
  11. Realistically how brutal does Erik Ten Hag need to be?

    I hope he comes in and works them until they drop. As soon as the "injuries" start happening tell them there aren't any trips to Dubai or South America while recovering. They can enjoy Carrington everyday.
  12. Richard Arnold cleaning house | Making 'significant changes' to Social Media strategy etc.

    I guess being 70 this year gives me an excuse to shake my head and think WTF? When I was watching the game on Saturday I didn't think "social media" was an issue that would be of any importance. It doesn't reassure me that Fletcher gives his stamp of approval to the comings and goings on in the...
  13. "The dressing room is just a disaster"

    Tempest in a teapot. It is completely irrelevant to the big picture. We are shite show from top to bottom and the whole world knows. I think that the truth being aired in public is needed to move forward. We have a long road forward and this isn't even a bump compared to what is ahead.
