Ole's at the wheel, not.
Why didn’t fans walk out today like they did the other week?
Sarcastic applauding I assume! No one in his right mind would applaud him off after this?
Ole’s been run over.
We weren’t singing Ole’s at the wheel as the away end sing it, we were singing Donny van der Beek to the same tune.
The 'Give It Up' version of 'Ole's at the wheel' was from our end? If true this is huge.
Oles driven the bus off a cliff, survived, it caught fire, survived, it exploded, survived and then pissed on the firemen that rescued him?
I didn't hear them sing the same as City.
It was:
Would make things worse is funny. It really wouldn't.
Ah, of course. This is exactly what I thought I heard as I was watching the game on television.
Let's sack Ole right now and put Carrick in charge as caretaker.
I get we uphold this image (for whatever reasons) that we’re some kind of gentleman/women of football and our fans need to act like it too so fair enough if you don’t want to boo but when I see those idiots applaud Ole off the pitch like everything is alright it aggravates me,
Stadium regulars are different breed. They've been so brainwashed, they actually believe that booing the manager=not showing support from the club. This has mainly been done because Fergie, more or less, became synanymous with the club and thus booing someone incompetent like Ole would be like booing Fergie because Ole occupies the same position. And for most United fans - Fergie as the manager is all they've known. We're stuck in the past as a club, both inside and out. Prehistoric club, through and through.
what is the general feeling in the stands? I can’t believe support remains within the stadium?
Please could you elaborate a bit. Was there genuine booing or a submissive acceptance?
I'm sat in right next to the Stretford End and a portion were definitely singing Oles at the wheel.
Thanks for making me laugh on a thoroughly depressing day!
Yep.
Nah, everyone knows he is done. The singing section wasn’t very defiant second half which was a big change from Liverpool. A few nutters were doing their best and carrying on after FT, but it was pretty thin.Ole was also very specifically targeted for boos at full-time too just as he was leaving the pitch.
Point taken.
Booing at half time and full time, minor grumbles as we watched City take the piss. Then the moment of the VdB sub.
Glad I could help mateThanks for making me laugh on a thoroughly depressing day!
The wheels on the bus go round and round?
Honestly there was a feeling of apathy from myself and the people around me.
It's pure ego and a matter of identity to some, unfortunately. I'm not saying there's a right or wrong way to support a football club, there just simply isn't, but to some of these folks accepting mediocrity is fair game if it means getting rid of pesky plastic out-of-town fans.
That’s just not the case. Everyone I speak to in and out of the stadium knows it’s not good enough, with even the most supportive Ole fans were admitting it’s not going to work out after the Liverpool game.
Cause on the scoreline, it was only 2-0, so there’s always hope. It just shows they dont know anything, living in a bubble.
You’d be surprised
