Just like a crack whore

[Belfast Mags]

Fuck Roy Keane, Fuck Alex Ferguson, Fuck David Moyes, Wayne Rooney & RVP, Fuck them all to Hell 

 

Sorry, had to get that off my chest

Fuck your chest.

 

 

 

[Froggy]

Goal at Old Trafford! Jones centre forward next game.

[Dokko]

Be canny funny if Moyes if after everything that's happened so far wins the CL at the first attempt.

 

[ponsaelius]

Only if it took CL place off Liverpool

[Dokko]

Only if it took CL place off Liverpool

 

Even better.

 

I could see it though. Think of shit teams hanging on for dear life in the league, can't buy a win, playing shite but somehow all the planets align and they find themselves in the FA cup final. That on roids would be manure finishing 6-7th and still winning the CL.

[Froggy]

We've done very well in the group stage at least. That wasn't an easy group. Shakhtar are a difficult side to beat and Leverkusen are flying in Germany this year.

 

We'll get bummed by the likes of Bayern. Better all over the pitch apart from maybe two positions.

Wat.

[Froggy]

I've stated why like. When's the last time an English side beat Shakhtar in Ukraine? Bayer are on fire this year as well, especially at home. They're six points clear of Dortmund in the league for example. Real Socieded... fair enough. Though they are higher than us in a league considered by many to be better than the EPL.

 

It was by no means the hardest group, but it wasn't easy.

Fucking Rosenborg would've had a chance of 3rd/2nd in that group in place of Man Utd tbh. Not easy (for Man Utd) my ass.

[Tiresias]

It was a classic banana slip sort of group rather than a really strong group, and Man U have done well to top it.

 

All the other teams seriously performed below some expectations, especially Shaktar, albeit they have lost some players.

[Decky]

I for one am delighted to see United back on track. #MoyesIn

[Neil]

Man Utd's group wasn't easy whatsoever. They negotiated it very well, and Moyes at least deserves some sort of credit for that.

[Skirge]

Cracks papered over, could have easily lost that last night

Manchester United Fans – A Welcome Reality Check

5 hours ago by Paul Dixon

 

Did you see the Manchester United fans as cameras panned around OT on Saturday with 10 minutes or so left?

 

Did you see the looks on faces that haven’t been seen for 20 years on some of them, never on the younger ones? The look of apprehension. The look of trepidation. The look of uncertainty. The look of ‘Bloody hell, we’re a bit s**t’!

 

People who for decades have sat contentedly as the goals and trophies piled up, people who occasionally tolerated an away goal, or, in extreme circumstances, a goal from a penalty.

 

Now they have fear in their eyes, now they check their watches, not so as they aren’t late for the flight back to Kuala Lumpur or Copenhagen as was the norm, but wondering if they can snatch a draw.

 

Remember when they used to patronise phone-ins with their, “You have to stick by your manager, changing doesn’t help”? Now they’re calling for Moyes’s head after a dozen or so games, ‘Bring back Fergie’ is the worried cry.

 

Now they’re finding out what It’s like to be us. Checking the league table, not to see if they can win the League by February this year, for a bit of fun, but to see how Swansea got on.

 

Streaming out of the ground with stunned looks, disbelief, this can’t be happening. A quick final dash into the club shop for their ‘Moyes out’! t-shirts and comedy Rooney hair pieces, before the bus back to Exeter or Sidcup. At least these people bother to go.

 

How many times have you been in a pub in the UK when one of their matches is on? There they are, the plastic Mancs, the glory hunters, couldn’t find OT with an Indian tracker and GPS, but they sit there, in their Cantona shirts, ‘bigging it up’ about ‘the lads’. Support passed down from a Dad who revelled in picking a winning team and also because he loved the way George Best popped Miss World every year.

 

There is joy to be had in football at times (even when you realise that you’re merely a money making conduit for a purposeless owner) and we should celebrate that.

 

Yes, this is a bit childish, but just remember how many times you’ve schlepped to some cr*ppy outpost of the UK, watching another Toon horror show, slunk into your local boozer just before closing time to be met by the resident plastic Manc jeering, “The lads won again today, how did your lot get on”?

 

Revel in it folks, chances like this don’t come along very often, a bit like away penalties at OT in fact.

 

Fucking excellent article.  Never a truer word spoken. The 2 glory cunts I work with have been very quiet this week.  Instead of sniggering and pointing at me in a mocking fashion, they are lost sheep.

 

Until today that is when they are wondering who their next victims in the Champions League will be. " It won't be fucking Newcastle,  will it, " said one. I can't wait for their inevitable demise in the Tournament. Still, they'll probably become Arsenal fans instead of having the ignominy of "supporting" an also-ran.

[basjen]

Man U-supporting friend just told me that he doesn't look forward to matches anymore because he is afraid that they will lose.

 

I recommended a good relegation battle.

[Beren]

I remember my Man Utd supporting friend saying he enjoyed when other teams took the lead because it made it interesting at least :lol: Can you imagine?

[basjen]

If my FM save where I during 2020 won with an average of five goals count, then yes. Since it probably doesn't, no.

[Beren]

Is that hilarious Man Utd twitter account still about? The guy from the Far East aping other supporters? "I'm a true Utd fan, didn't even switch to City when they won the title" etc etc?

I knew this would happen, says Moyes

 

MANCHESTER United manager David Moyes said the team’s dismal form is the sort of thing that happens to him all the time.

 

Moyes told friends, family and ‘anyone who would listen’ that something would go wrong ‘sooner rather than later’.

 

He said: “My friends were all really nice and told me not to worry. ‘This team has just won the league’ they would say, ‘it’ll be brilliant’.

 

“But I kept saying, ‘no, no, no, something will go wrong, something always goes wrong’.

 

“It’s so typical of me. Whenever I get something new, like a telly or a car or one of those coffee machines with the little pods, it stops working within a month.

 

“Sometimes it just breaks all by itself and sometimes it’s because I may have accidentally knocked it into the sink.

 

“I don’t know which scenario we’re looking at here, but from my point of view, it has come as absolutely no surprise whatsoever.”

 

He added: “When I got the job my wife said to me, ‘you’ll break it within a month’. She said it like it was a joke.

 

“But then there was an awkward silence and we just stared at each other for about 10 seconds.”
