I think people forget the runs in are often sh!t football..and the result is all that matters.
We didn't play entertaining footy for most of the season, so to expect it now, or seem even slightly surprised there isn't any is bizarre.
Has anything ever tested your love for football...

This period reminds me of 2003-2005 when Chelsea arrived and dominated everything. We played some dull stuff, but the potential is there. With a semi-competent manager that gives the players freedom we'll be just fine.
I hope.

That's really the thing. When Moyes was managing us, you at least had faith that the club would eventually sack him. The situation right now is completely ridiculous. We could expect some rough times with SAF leaving but we only seem to be going backwards and when we win, the fans are just as angry as when we lose or draw. Every performance, statistic, and underachieving player points to LVG getting sacked yet he seems to be entrenched in the job. How can you not despair when you see this going on?
Wish there were forums around when I watched us get relegated, would have been hilarious reading
That certainly would be great entertainment.
Nah, I'd love that. Would be fun, no doubt.
Amen.
Yes. Louis Van Gaal.
Not even just United performances, but the whole cost of going to football games is really testing.
Istanbul 2005....
Nothing could make me question my love for football, or for United. If one day we're in the Conference then I'll still be along for the ride.
At least Liverpool aren't winning everything. The 70s and 80s were the worst for me.
Don't get me wrong, this is excruciating to watch, but I'm a bit more zen about the whole thing. Reading hysterical posts about this being the end of Manchester United as we know it is a fun distraction.

Like Roy Keane said, its hard to stay positive watching this United team.
So much of contradiction with those 2 sentences. I guess Leicester don't play football then. Or we didn't during Fergie's era. Or Dortmund with Klopp. Or even Wenger's Arsenal. They must have all been playing golf.
Mike Ashley
Bristol Rovers have just got promotion (90th minute winner). feck football.
I'll be along for that ride, but wouldn't watch a minute of football if VG is in charge next season.
The fact that any robust tackle is now mainly seen as a foul, and the player on the receiving end rolling around as if it's a career ender really pisses me off.
Late 80's Fergie side. You people seen nothing.
If you're being serious, this the stupidest fecking post I've ever seen on here. Some achievement. Tell matchgoing fans to go feck themselves, spending money to support the club and in return wanting some entertainment. You're the idiot here.
Theatre of ZzZzZzZ
Sir Matt Busby, SAF and a bunch of United legends would beg to differ with you on that one. But what do they know. They need to feck themselves right.
Go ask Sir Alex would he had taken 1-0 over Barca in London or in Rome..
Moyes flat four four two was terrible but LVG spaghetti junction football is just as bad... Hopefully like Moyes he is sacked in the next 2 weeks.
United under LVG.
Just supporting vicariously through Leicester now, feels great 
I still love United & football, it's testing my attention and my patience.
I remember as kid supporting Sexton's United and Big Ron's United. Things were different then though, as we weren't coming off a really golden period.

What's that got to do with anything? Would he have accepted these dire performances/results/league standings/tactics week in week out? No. You have no point.
Even when we all complained of 'zombie passing' in the last few years of Fergie, it was nothing like this.
Nah you can go ask LVG if you can kiss his arse. You'd like that better.
He's either WUM-ing or is an LVG zombie. Best just give him a one liner and leave him be.
I really enjoyed our 1-0 against Barca in Rome today.
feck these glory hunters, mate. Top fans like us are the real deal.
"Yay, boo, Yay, boo / It's lot's a fun to do"
"If ya like it, holla yay / If ya don't, ya holla boo
We won so I'm satisfied. Tomorrow if Arse take anything out of the City game I'm actually over the bloody moon that we didn't go for 4-4 today..
EDIT: In the name of entertainment..

I honestly don't think that many people here just like watching football.
Every game on the football forums "what a shit game"
I said at the start of the season that teams like City and Arsenal will play well about 8/9 games a season. Today was no different than the Arsenal game last week against Norwich. There's some absolutely tumescent games every year, we have had some more than normal but often football games are like that. We still won away from home with a relatively late winner.

Had a season ticket to Pullis in div 4 games before, Uniteds football this year has felt worse, all while having the luxory of investing 200 odd mill in the last few years.
My love is tested every time Valencia gets the ball in the opponents half. Every time we take a short corner that will inevitably lead to a counterattack. Every time Depay steps up to take a free kick.
We haven't invested that much. We've spent about 250 million while recouping over 100 million, slashing our wage bill and getting rid of most of our players.

Okay mate, that net spend, very scouse, Here's the reality, we've had the opportunity to pick and choose from amongst the cream of world football.and the result is the least enjoyable brand of football i've ever seen, week in, week out.
Close, but no. I had contection with players.
They were my players, managed by someone not.good enough.
Agree. I was very young but remember us getting relegated. Horrible feeling. The following season was one of my favourite seasons ever as a United fan. Atmosphere was amazing at every game with Bigger crowds than any of the division 1 matches.
