As much as this United team? Personally, nothing has made me feel like this.

Only Martial and to a lesser extent Rashford have kept my spirits up.

I ask myself almost every week why I keep wasting my life watching this dross.

I half-heartedly watch most of our games nowadays. I can't solely focus on just us so I usually have the laptop open and I'll listen to music too when watching.

Having said that the semi-final against Everton reignited a flame that had been out a long time.

I used to turn off my phone during games because I'd get messages from so many people (so many talking points during the game).

Nowadays I'm either on my laptop playing Hearthstone or chatting to friends on whatsapp about how bad the game is, lol!

Not really.

Shit happens, and you hope things will change for the better.

It affects my enjoyment of course.

Football isn't all about United. As shit as we've been playing I love watching other games too.

It really is remarkable how bad LVG has made us. I find myself doing chores or offering to watch the kid instead of watching this crap.

Only thing worse is when you carve out 1.5 hours of truly free time to watch United...and they play like this.

Maybe time has healed that wound because I honestly dont remember it being as bad as this. It was Moyes himself and what he said that got to me rather than the actual football.
Well yeah, the Moyes era as a whole, everything was fecking terrible, not just the football on the pitch. There are far more positives from this season/last season than 13/14.

This is truly horrible. I'm starting to wonder whether football is meant to be enjoyable...

Yes, the Norwegian national team has made me far more depressed than United has the past few seasons.

This forum, man... full of spoiled children. To be honest, judging by a large amount of our vocal supporters on the Caf, we might do with a decade or two of shite football.

edit: cue a ton of vitriol my way.

:lol: Drama queens. What should fans of Villa, Newcastle, Norwich, Palace or almost any other team in England say? In the world, actually. Probably 90% of football teams never win anything, don't play at the highest level, lose games regularly etc. You're just a bunch of spoiled bastards.

This is worse than Moyes because at least with him you knew he was out of his depth and it's all be over soon. The club actually seems to be happy with the job LVG is doing.

:lol: I'm not sure how someone can be labelled spoiled for wanting to be entertained when they take two hours out of their free time to do something?

EDIT: What he said.

‘He told us how lucky we were to be professional footballers. He pointed out that those men were our supporters and Saturday afternoon was their release from the hard grind of the week and we had a duty to entertain them."

"I do not worry about conceding goals because I know my forwards will double it at the other end."

We are anything but these immortal words of Sir Matt ... So, yes this past season my love of Utd has been severely tested. It goes without saying, without Utd, there's no football - for me.

Moyes > Fellaini in particular > this team

I'm in minority that can actually stand our game for most of the time. I hope for improvement, of course, but still.

I actually went and watched not just one but two pornos and missed at least 20 minutes of the game.. just to get myself through it. Couldn't even muster an erection. Vangle is making me impotent let alone united.

We fecking won you idiots.. Whining about wanting to be entertained sounds to me that those people use "safe spaces" and stuff like that..

We battled, saw some good play from time to time and battled all kind of injuries throughout. You want to be entertained, go feck yourself. This is football.
