Moyes appointment
Actually no. Future is bright. Erik is a very good coach (shit DoF though ) and new owner will come before next season.Like now you mean?
Your spot on there my friend.The infighting that occurred after the Glazer takeover.
Red on red is never nice.
United are only ever at their best when there's a Labour Government.
I agree.1. Fergie waving goodbye after that 5-5 draw against West Brom. I somehow knew we would be in for a very tough time.
2. The 4-1 loss at home against Liverpool in 2009. Didn’t really matter but I just remember how angry I was after that.
3.The loss in the CL final against Barca in 2009. I genuinely believed we had a chance.
Though the last years have been tough they’ve been colored by the fact the club is run by a bunch of clowns. I’ve learned to not be that involved emotionally anymore.
This. No amount of shit football will surpass the disappointment of reading some of the mental gymnastics and comments on that thread.Reading some of the comments from Manchester United fans in the MG thread is pretty high up to be honest.
Yeah I find it hard to explain but things have just never felt the same since SAF left. It's like we lost the soul of the club.Sir Alex retiring.
It wasn't just an icon leaving the club, it was far greater than that.
SAF has his DNA woken into the Manchester United quilt. When he left, it tore the club apart.
Might seem dramatic, but the club is now a shadow of what it was, on and off the park.
I don't know if the club will recover.
I was a toddler when that happened so I have no memory of it. However, my dad told me in later years that grown men who had seen action in the war, were crying their eyes out when the news came through. United fans, City fans, it didn't matter because the whole City of Manchester mourned the loss.Assuming we were old enough to remember them, how can it be anything other than:
1. Munich
2. Relegation
For what it's worth, for me it was 2., as Munich happened before I was born, while I was going to Old Trafford for the first time in the relegation season.
For sure, it almost felt like I remembered it because, like you, family members (especially my Grandad, who'd fought in the war) and close family friends talked about it so much and about the impact it had on the city and even the country. Sometimes I feel like I was there to see those newspaper hoardings in Piccadilly Gardens blaring their awful news.I was a toddler when that happened so I have no memory of it.

Same here, and Evra hit the post with a header for 5-2. Then they go up the other end and scored. This game was the one that lost us the title, imo. The darkest though is how football has changed since the dirty money has been put into it and we have to try and keep up with dreadful owners and a board of bottlers..
I was at the game, it was brutal. We actually played some great attacking football, but we looked like conceding every time we didn't have possession.
City would've won the title eventually, but this felt like the game that handed it to them and started it all off. We were singing Campiones at 3-1 and 4-2. Grim.
You beat me to it, the Law back heel and him walking straight down the tunnel summed up the season for me.Relegation in 1974 but fortunately that was followed by the most wonderful season of my times following United
You should never rely on other teams results for your own successI've never been as angry and disappointed as that Man City vs. QPR game on the final day of the 11/12 season. You get your hopes up, and then to see QPR completely just hand it to City by basically giving the ball away after the kick-off at 2-2 was infuriating.
Will they though...Actually no. Future is bright. Erik is a very good coach (shit DoF though ) and new owner will come before next season.
So with new owner, new Dof will come and we are ready to fight for PL next season.
