I've nowt against him as a bloke or a forum member, but as a fan of Man Utd I just don't think I'll ever be able to tolerate him and those like him. What's the difference between Froggy saying us or we and the absolute loads of foreign posters we have here(myself included) who say us or we with regards to Newcastle? Froggy and his kind chose Man Utd simply because they win things. If Man Utd were Man City way back when, Froggy would pick Arsenal, or Chelsea or the team that wins things. NUFC fans that aren't Geordies, generally find something about the club that makes them want to be a part of it, usually the support or certain players like Shearer. I can respect that and tolerate it. I cannot respect someone or tolerate someone who looks at the top of the table, sees who is number one and says that's the team for me so it is. That's not support, that's f***ing cheating and in football, I don't like cheating. A bloke who plays football with us is 53 and supports Man Utd, he's a Geordie, a proud Geordie. It boils my p*ss he supports Man Utd, but he grew up watching them on TV as a bairn and it stuck with him. He has been to loads of games, home, away, Europe the lot. He, despite his support, wants NUFC to do well though because its his home town team and he is a Geordie. I can tolerate and respect him because he chose to support Man Utd as a bairn because they left a favorable impression on him via TV and European nights. There is a sense of romanticism about his support of that club. Froggy et al? Its bull s***, all about trophies and instant success. That's not support, that's follow-ship like how I'd follow someone on Twitter because they are cool or something. Basically he's a Justin Bieber fan... Btw I'm not on twitter its s***. I'd respect a guy from Newcastle supporting Man Utd a lot less than a guy from Ireland supporting Man Utd. Also Froggy stated above that he wants to keep Van Gaal and then get Giggs in a few seasons. Not exactly all about instant success Fellow Irishman sticking up for his countryman tbh... Honestly though, some bloke grows up in Newcastle where there's a team that the whole city supports and is mad about football and then watches a team from Manchester on the TV and starts supporting them because they're better and you have more respect for him than you do for an Irish guy who doesn't live near a professional football team and supports Man Utd

Gasping to be English TBF

Giggs doesn't strike me as being a good manager in the future
-
Agree with Lineker to a certain extent there, especially in the Premier League because it's not as tactical as other leagues. It was proven in that numbers game book that in terms of results there is generally little difference when you change manager. Once a manager picks the best team available to him I believe there is little more he can do in most scenarios
-
We can say that when comparing our first XI (minus Howard) against most teams in the league tbf but it doesn't mean we'll get a result. Martinez is completely incapable of organising the defence to have any sort of shape, solidity or ability to defend set pieces. That's why our only 2 league wins in 11 are against Sunderland & Villa. Is Martinez under any pressure from the fans?

I've listened to a fair few of those Graham Hunter interviews now and I don't think he's asked a tough question in any of them. He talks to all of the people he's interviewing like he's an obsessed schoolgirl

When you're the king you can do anything

I loved it, it was my highlight of his time here. Why are northen-european people so cruel? If it happened here, everyone would be sorry for the lad and we'd continue our neverending losing spree. Because he's a lying scumbag cunt as well as being a shit manager
-
Funny how the "attack, attack, attack" brigade are pining for Mourinho
-
When Toure's bothered he's an unbelievable player
-
What a fucking goal man
-
Navas you coward cunt
-
Aye he only got Villarreal a poor penalty away from a Champions League final. Fucking shit man
-
More down to not buying well enough IMO
-
Think Ozil's better but love Silva as well
-
Don't think City have been too bad here tbh
-
Ozil never over hits a pass
-
Ozil the anti Cisse there
-
Great goal. First thing he did all game as well
-
Good defending by Mertesacker
-
Lot of respect being shown = nothing happening
