Guest firetotheworks Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 You are pedantic as they come KI. News. Anyway, I stand by those earlier points like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The only time I've been annoyed is when Shearer says it, he should know better. Not bothered about rest of the media, man utd are the biggest football club in the world so they will always get more coverage etc and it's been attached to them. That's exactly the point, and people don't like it. None of this differentiation between them and Man City excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Real Madrid aren't referred to in Spain as Real though. Real Sociedad are 'La Real'. Likewise Inter and 'AC'. No-one in Italy adds the Milan suffix to Inter or the AC prefix to Milan. Aye, Real Madrid are referred to a lot as simply Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid have won 10 more European Cups than them, its still a sport at the end of the day. Both Barca and Real Madrid are bigger IMO. If a player has the choice of the 3 he isn't going to pick Man Utd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 You can't simply use European Cups as the reason they are bigger club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chicken little Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Trying to imagine a conversation somewhere in Newcastle where somebody asks "are you going to watch United at the weekend?" or "did you see how United got on the other day?" or "do you think United are going to buy anybody in the window" and it being readily understood that they are talking about NUFC. Dunno if I'm missing a trick but the only time I really hear us refer to us as a singular United is if you're giving it clap-clap-clap afterwards.

triggs Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 You can't simply use European Cups as the reason they are bigger club. Its the biggest competition in the world and they've won it 10 more times than Man Utd. TEN more times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The same Real Madrid that had the support of a dictator in the 50's and 60's. Man utd have the most supporters worldwide and have since the munich air disaster, imo they are biggest club and by a distance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is fans all that matters to you then in terms of biggest clubs? I would have thought winning things and being more attractive to players would be more important Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 He's an attention seeking little dweeb and often has some absolute stinkers, particularly in our matches, but I still can't help but like Mike Dean's antics, especially when I'm neutral, and think that he's generally a good referee.

Boo Boy Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 one thing that grinds my gears is massive segregation sections including netting. Some grounds it is bigger than the neutral territory in Korea! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 The criticism and abuse all of our players (but particularly Joselu) get/got is totally over the top, completely misplaced, embarrassing, and not at all in keeping with the 'demand(ing) a club that tries' ethos. There's not a single one of them that doesn't work for the shirt and the jip they get for not being good enough while trying their best is embarrassing.

xLiaaamx Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Back to an older point, I'm sure this Inter/Milan thing is new. When I was a kid it was Prefix and then Milan for both of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Football is worse off with Mourinho not managing. No doubt he’ll be back soon, but it feels like he’s somehow underrated. Probably because he’s an arsehole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
