I wouldn't expect a spoilt little Princess to think differently.What that United's fanbase is it's biggest problem?! There is literally no truth in that it's pure wind-up, click-bait, bullshit.

who's that then?I wouldn't expect a spoilt little Princess to think differently.
Not what i said Cathy Newman but wether it was better not is subjective. Fact is you either enjoyed it more or not.So, in other words, it was better in the good ol' days?
Can we just stop with all the sniping and insulting each other. If you don’t agree with a point either argue against it or just move on. CBA reading about who is a bigger United fan or insults like “shills”.
I don’t get how those points contradict each other in the slightest.
Says the guy who started a thread calling our fanbase 'spoiled and overly entitled'...!?
Seriously, anyone that can't see through your antics must be extremely naive.
you don't think that starting a thread saying that United's 'biggest problem is our spoilt and overly entitled fan base' is sort of a) insulting and b) implying that you are a bigger/better United fan? Kind of rendering this statement a complete joke:I don’t get how those points contradict each other in the slightest.

Gypsy curses of misfortune usually last 7 years. The only questions that remain are... How many gypsies cursed us and do they run simultaneously or concurrently...Question is , will the gypsy curse placed upon our club now be lifted given that Moyes 6 year contract has ended ?
Is it finally over ?
Think it's safe to say that anybody that wanted David Moyes, LvG and Mourinho to be sacked is spoiled, no?who's that then?
Eh? You called me (I assume) a spoiled little Princess, and then use this as your reasoning?? Firstly, I wasn't on this forum during the Moyes and LVG era, and secondly, if anything I thought that Mourinho should have been properly backed last summer given that the board had extended his contract a few months previously. What you on about old chum?!Think it's safe to say that anybody that wanted David Moyes, LvG and Mourinho to be sacked is spoiled, no?
things seem to be looking good for RashfordQuestion is , will the gypsy curse placed upon our club now be lifted given that Moyes 6 year contract has ended ?

Me i'm not arsed, i'm just going with the flow, BUT whilst it(the spoiled fans)is not the biggest problem at the club it's as much to blame for our current plight as the Glazers, or Ed Woodward are, though for some strange reason most are reluctant to admit it. I guess it's just easier to blame somebody else.Eh? You called me (I assume) a spoiled little Princess, and then use this as your reasoning??

Tbf most people clearly agree with me. It’s only a vocal minority who have vehemently disagreed.Most posts in this thread are spot on for the title. The irony.
Please can you explain exactly what you mean by this? In what possible way could our incredibly loyal and largely patient fanbase be 'as much to blame for our current plight as the Glazers or Ed Woodward'?! It's frankly mental to even suggest it.Me i'm not arsed, i'm just going with the flow, BUT whilst it(the spoiled fans)is not the biggest problem at the club it's as much to blame for our current plight as the Glazers, or Ed Woodward are, though for some strange reason most are reluctant to admit it.

Are you Donald Trump in disguise?!Tbf most people clearly agree with me. It’s only a vocal minority who have vehemently disagreed.
Subconscious guilt I imagine.Why does this thread keep showing up in the feed when I've ignored it?
Where on earth do people get that the stadium is crumbling from?Stadium crumbling, squad struggling to beat the likes of Cardiff and Huddersfield despite eye watering wages being dished out, club share price tanking, no director of football as promised but the real problem is people on twitter.

No, stop spreading deliberate misinformation.Wasn't that just a burst pipe? The stadium is lovely.
I have no idea if it was a burst pipe or not, but I know a fecking leak doesn't make Old Trafford this decaying crumbling building that so many are incessantly banging on about.No, stop spreading deliberate misinformation.
Never post here but came on to applaud this. Well said.Yesterday United's young talented goalkeeper Joel Pereira turned 23. He's a fringe player in the squad and unlikely to ever make much of an impact. He's only been involved in the first team on three occasions and only one of those was a start in a Premier League match. A meaningless end of season game against Crystal Palace. To celebrate the player's birthday, United's twitter posted a fairly innocuous birthday message. And then it began.
"Announce Wan-Bissaka" said the first reply. The next was a picture of the Crystal Palace right back in a United shirt. Posts flooded in saying that the club was 'embarrassing' for not announcing the new Manchester United player. Conspiracies floated around that United would be announcing the signing a day late to coincide with an anti-Glazer protest that is apparently planned. Details of this event seem sparce, but seem to involve tweeting a lot by fans who live in foreign countries. Apparently United would be so upset by a few thousand tweets that they would be willing to change the details of a £50 million pound signing.
This recent idea that United are 'embarrassing' seems to have seeped into everyone's consciousness. United are trying to get new scouts. 'Embarrassing'. United sign a few hungry young players from the Premier League. Embarrassing. United are linked with big money moves for Bale or such like players. Embarrassing. But it becomes painfully obvious reading this forum, reading social media or comment sections on websites, that is the behaviour of the fanbase that is increasingly embarrassing.
United currently spend the most on wages in the Premier League. The club has spent 300 million on transfers in the last three summer windows and recouped about 50 million of that. They are the only big club to have spent money in the Premier League so far. They are the biggest spenders in the league so far this window. But that isn't enough for some United fans. They inundate message boards across the internet asking for more investment, more transfer activity and specifically signing players that they have identified on Football Manager.
The fact is United are currently operating in the right way. We have signed a talented young player from lower leagues. Response to this signing has been mixed, almost as if signing players from Championship clubs is beneath us. Nevermind the small outlay or the potential of the young player, he's already written off by some. We have followed this up by clearly improving a weak area in our squad with a defender who was statistically the best right back in the league last year. We have got him for a reasonable fee with plenty of time left. Still some complain that he isn't announced, like that matters in any way shape or form.
United fans complain about the lack of 'deadwood' moving on, but we have taken steps to sort this with Valencia, Fellaini and Wilson leaving the club. Players such as Darmian and Rojo are expected to join them shortly afterwards. These deals take time, but fans are impatient, desperately trying to get the next hit of dopamine from a transfer rumour posted by a Reddit ITK.
It is not acceptable at this stage to be so miserable about United's upcoming chances. As a fanbase we need to get behind the players. A few years ago we laughed as Klopp had his players celebrate after a 2-2 draw with West Brom. But Liverpool fans bought into what was happening and despite a relatively low spend since then, Klopp has been immensely successful.
United have a new season starting soon. We are spending money, improving the squad and working towards getting back to our perch. It might not work, but please stop being so overly dramatic, especially before a ball is even kicked. Let's get behind our young legendary manager and our new team and see if we can kick on.
No. Just seen this. It’s embarassing, Man Utd having a stadium like OT is a disgrace, we are literally the laughing stock of world football. Woodward out.Wasn't that just a burst pipe? The stadium is lovely.
It's been refuted multiple times on this fecking thread - your own thread - you must have seen.I have no idea if it was a burst pipe or not, but I know a fecking leak doesn't make Old Trafford this decaying crumbling building that so many are incessantly banging on about.
Well playedSubconscious guilt I imagine.
You think Pogba and DDG will be treated better by Madrid fans if they end up there?!I really struggle with this place these days. The hysteria is crazy, so many mood swings!
The latest craziness surrounding DDG really gets to me. Yes the lad had some poor form at the end of the season, but some of the revision art statements about his ability are appalling.
As fans we demand loyalty, yet we talk about and treat players like DDG and Pogba (see last game at OT with the fan) this way? Is it any wonder that players will naturally want away from the constant negativity.
The problem is unfortunately United seems a strange club. In that, we had a problem after Busby, now the same after Ferguson. A bit of a pattern......
To try and break away from that culture seems to cause us problems historically. Hell even Liverpool had a problem for years before Klopp. It's just one of those things.
I don't doubt we'll get it right. Will probably take a while knowing what we're like, but we will be ok eventually. I just hope they get it together before I die
At least they'll win trophies for their troubles.You think Pogba and DDG will be treated better by Madrid fans if they end up there?!
The difference: we're paying their wages. We deserve a certain level of respect and hardwork. And if fans feel like they aren't getting that, they have every right to have a go at the player. It's why Diego Forlan was never jeered despite his lack of ability. Fans, especially matchgoing fans, know when a player isn't putting the effort in on the pitch. And they also know exactly how much these players earn in a week. If the players expect a certain level of respect, they must in the work on the field and give that respect back to the fans. Otherwise it'll continue to get ugly.I really struggle with this place these days. The hysteria is crazy, so many mood swings!
