When Moyes made Rio study clips of Phil Jagielka
Yeah but it resulted in one of my all-time favourite photos of Old Trafford:Final match of the season getting postponed in 2016 because the firm that does security at OT accidentally left a fake training bomb in one of the toilets.
That had more to do with the significance of United appointing their first ever continental manager than with LvG himself. At least, that's how i saw it back then. We were still at the stage where we believed that getting rid of Moyes alone would fix the problem, but nevertheless it was a (somewhat) historic moment for the club."OranjeCafe" to herald LVG's era. Cringiest attempt by the admins here, and that was before knowing his era would end the way it did.
I thought we were just taking the piss out of stupid stuff from the last 10 years.What?
That was one of the best moments
On the subject of leaks..A new leak every day in December 2021. With the culprits never officially found.
The players mocking the coaching team, with Chris Armas being dubbed "Ted Lasso".
It really has. Ten years ago I was worried about how shit we were, working a stress filled job and losing my hair. Since then things have completely changed; I've gone bald.What a ten years it's been
Eh? Are you talking about the right renewal here?This is not true. Dave was in the form of his life when we gave him that contract.
like feck he wasThis is not true. Dave was in the form of his life when we gave him that contract.
Same brotherIt really has. Ten years ago I was worried about how shit we were, working a stress filled job and losing my hair. Since then things have completely changed; I've gone bald.
Would he have been cheaper in 2018?Since it’s been a right miserable old week I thought we could cheer ourselves up by reminiscing about what a shit fecking ten years it’s been since Fergie left.
Post your favourite ridiculous things that have happened to our club in that time here.
Here’s a few for starters, they’re all fairly obvious ones. Points for the more obscure nuggets.
Ed Woodward scaring Klopp off being our manager by trying to sell the club as “Disneyland”
Ed Woodward bragging about how much money we have only to see everyone rip us off in the transfer market for the rest of eternity
Signing Fellaini on deadline day for more than his release clause, and him being the only signing that summer
Refusing to buy Maguire for Mourinho then spending 80m on him the next summer
Every other week, a record was broken in 13/14. It was a wild season. Every shit team that had never won at OT, did!Under Moyes it felt like every week was banter week.
I remember when Everton won 1-0 at Old Trafford an Everton fan text me saying that it was the first time Moyes had helped Everton win at old Trafford as he couldn't do it in the 11 years he was Everton manager!
You could go the Rooney way. Plant some hair on that dome.It really has. Ten years ago I was worried about how shit we were, working a stress filled job and losing my hair. Since then things have completely changed; I've gone bald.
Apparently Leicester wanted 50m.Would he have been cheaper in 2018?
Literally every home game felt like it, and every single time the game began with the commentator reeling off some fact about how long it had been since whatever team it was had won at OT.Every other week, a record was broken in 13/14. It was a wild season. Every shit team that had never won at OT, did!
It was a huge shock after watching a pretty dominant team for a long time.
To add to that, £60m on Mason Mount.Being beaten 2-0 by Spurs without Kane. Still deep in the era for me.
I still can’t believe he didn’t go after the EL final, just mental decision making.Another classic:
Renewing Ole’s contract after the EL final defeat and then waiting months to announce it because they knew public opinion was against him by this point. Ended up announcing it literally the day after Sancho was announced, only to then go and sack him 2 months later.
With potentially getting Evens and Bertrand we most definitely are.Being beaten 2-0 by Spurs without Kane. Still deep in the era for me.
The look of a man who can't believe his luck.The infamous mouse pad photo
This annoyed me. You could see winning the cup meant something to him, he was proud, and he's from an era when this was a huge trophy to win. I remember on another United website at the time someone justifying it by saying this had been one of the worst seasons in United's history. Coming fifth and winning the FA Cup meant it was surely one of the more successful season's in the club's entire history, but never mind. LVG ultimately underachieved - he wasn't the answer, but he wasn't the problem either, and surely deserved to celebrate a trophy for at least an evening.
