BlueStar

Haha, just seen this - fat fingers

Yesterday was just the latest recent proof that being awarded an hour by the Queen actually makes you more likely to be a horrible twat.

Back to the actual game, enjoyed people shouting out "Could have killed him man" and "He's lucky to be alive after that" after every slightly dodgy tackle and even after hand balls

There's stuff in football that regularly crosses the line, but surely a word like 'disgrace' to describe managers, supporters, clubs, tackles, referees and players is probably one of the most used words in the game and something that would rarely cause genuine upset to all but the most thin-skinned fans.

Shocking to see the likes of yourself come out with that Bluestar. How come? I've spent the last two decades berating adoptive Man U fans online and in reality, it shouldn't come as that much of a shock. Yes, there are followers of other clubs who have decided to follow them for whatever reason, but Man U's entire business model is based on bandwagon jumpers and their 'global brand'. And which other team has had such a sustained period of trophy winning and success that an entire generation of people can't have started watching them when they were in the doldrums? Show up on another team's forum as a Man U fan from Ireland, Spain or London posting photos of Fergie grinning after his performance today and I don't know exactly what you expect the response to be. I can't imagine it would be different on any other board. I posted a picture of Alex Ferguson in a thread called Alex Ferguson. It was mainly to joke with Wormy, who will have taken absolutely no offence to it, as he's capable of banter. If that picture is what annoyed you there's problems there like. I'll remove it if it's so terrible to you. I know this is a Newcastle forum, but Alex Ferguson is iconic to me, and I've sat there and watched him being torn apart on this forum without any sort of retaliation but a picture of him. Is that really so horrific? I was getting plenty of abuse before that picture as well. So don't pick that as the main reason for your berating. I'm not annoyed in the slightest, the people who are annoyed are those who are some how baffled that an Irish Man U fan will be getting stick for being a glory hunter on another team's forum after a game like that. I don't think the Fergie picture is any more or less 'banter' than the stick you get for the team you picked, it's exactly to be expected. Fergie is to managers what Joey Barton, Craig Bellemy or Luis Suarez is to players, if he's on your team I think you'll love him no matter what he does, to anyone else he's a prick.

Who did you support in the Olympics Froggy, the US or China?

League will be better off once he's gone, one way or another. You got back pretty quick from the match, by the way.

I don't really moan that our fans are an embarrassment. I accept that a lot of them are, but just ask that you respect that a lot of them are not. Define 'a lot' as a percentage.

Redcafe is a completely accurate depiction of the kind of team Man U are though, and Fergie is like all RC posters combined. You can't set yourselves up as a global franchise team, take all the benefits of that and moan when your fans, players and manager are an embarrassment.

Fergie is such a cunt, are there any managers that come out with more cringeworthy stuff? The league will be much better off without him.

Cos it's nearly January, innit.

Pardew admits to fallout with Coloccini prior to QPR win http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/8355175/

I just don't get it. What's it like when they get home? "Been to the match?" "Aye." "What was the score?" "Dunno."

Tickets in the Villa end were £52

Goal difference could be crucial for these lot at the end of the season

The very demands he's making of us could be exactly the thing that stops him going anywhere else. If he wants a Hollywood contract and a place in the team in his favoured position at a top club he might be doing a lot of rejecting.

you've done it, now. Dammit, we were just saying we were glad QPR won last week because of our skills at ending losing streaks or being involved in assorted versions of duck breaking. We're like the football equivalent of Mythbusters.

Yeah, here they are. Lovely bunch

Was Metalist not the club where those Asian fans were attacked by Nazi skinheads in that BBC documentary?

Good shift by Giroud tonight Still looked fresh deep into injury time, he's got a canny engine on him.

Reading are not very good.

Don't worry, he's on the bench. Could have a two minute run-out to prevent someone else coming fof the bench.

The stuff on that site doesn't really look like something you'd need urgenty (or things you couldn't get a more basic but functional version of cheaper), but I'm sure there are things people would be better off getting sooner. If you need a washing machine and every week until you get one you've got to pay for a laundrette or take time off from driving a taxi or whatever to do it by hand, or if you need a bed for a kid and they're wheezing from sleeping on the floor then you might look at it and think it's worth the interest in the long run.
