Â There's talks he will be sent away in January, and I hope for his sake that it's true. Looks like Motta wants him at Juve as part of his setup again. Â When they signed him this summer it seemed so forced and that they only went for him because he had a low release clause. Pretty sure I said to Froggy they'd screw it up with him. And here we are.

Whether or not it works for him at Manchester United might not be his fault. Taking him off was the right move though. We should remember that we we’re saying similar about Joelinton at one point.

midds Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Taking Zirkzee off within 30 minutes was like seeing a doctor making an open heart transplant in real life time. Majestic stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time you go it’s full of tourists, day trippers from all over the country and they sing their cute little songs about Shearer.  Fuck the lot of them. Anyone brought up whilst Ferguson was there and they were dominant will rightly be loving their downfall.  We are going to hump the cunts up here as well. Hope we get to play them in a final again. Yes I will always remember the wife and I trudghing back to our pub gathering (which was miles away) after the Charity Shield final at Wembley. Just the two of us and the abuse we took from Man Utd fans was horrific. A car stopped at some traffic lights and yet again we came upon a torrent abuse from four young Man Utd fans. I approached the car and they sped off through a red light. This is not me trying to sound "hard" by the way. I honestly think that I was capable at the time of turning the car over. I was a lot younger then and my wife couldn't believe my behaviour. I'm a lover not a fighter but if you insult my wife ..........

Big Geordie Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 (edited) They aren't going to be able to spend their way out of this one either, unless then can manage to peddle Rashford sharpish. They aren't far off being in trouble with PSR. Â The Glazer's have a parasitic hold on this club, the same way that Ashley did on us. Â Fuck them.

sixx Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Absolutely love listening to Man Utd fans whinging about how they just need to get rid of everyone and sign a whole new team. As if they haven’t spent hundreds of millions the last few years, entitled pricks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally different attributes but reminds me of JDT with us. The entirely wrong person at that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a sweet feeling. Exactly...first time in my life I've seen their squad and thought that there's literally not one player to be actually terribly concerned about. They're almost at the point where even suspect decisions and homer refs can't even help them. Long may it continue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 (edited) Remember when they were heavily linked with Kane   Ended up with Hojlund which is similar to us starting Osula every game. Edited December 31, 2024 by Sima Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
