Rival Watch Thread Watch

The FA punishments for saying something against the rules are so pathetically small that PL managers don't even think twice if they think they can get a 0.5% extra edge by throwing out a dodgy comment

 

Yeh. Doesnt change the fact he's as deluded as matth, mind.

 

A lot of your posters ****ed off because of matth and bonnet IMO, particularly the former.

 

Tell that to Christine, horses head, matth and wearredpanties.

 

Van Gaal not playing in the CL is not as disappointing as Moyes failing to reach the semi-final

Van Gaal crashing out of the League Cup immediately is not as disappointing as Moyes failing to reach the final

Van Gaal having 47 points in the Premier League is not as disappointing as Moyes having 46 points

 

100% right but it doesn't do it by targeting individuals with statements, what riles the visiting fans so much is that he uses actual (and selective) stats to knock their club down. As a Liverpool fan, its very funny to watch and if those opposition posters took a step back once in a while, they'd probably see it too. For the record, he also occasionally uses stats to criticise Liverpool too.

 

I'm disappointed we dont have as much debate on our boards. Matchday threads is me talking to myself most the time

There's a lot of good posters on our board they just dont post much. Matth has ruined our board I'm sure of it.

 

Yeh but we'll need a couple of decades of it still before we can winge about it like you

 

Poor **** gets the blame for everything

 

Those "couple of decades" in our case have been very successful compared to yoonited's "couple of decades" pre Fergie.

There was plenty of whinging from yoonited fans last season and if it all goes tits up in the league this season there'll be as many calling for the Dutch fellers head as there are calling for patience.

 

The irony is all 4 of those actually think everything is rosy at United

Should have said me and Chief lol

 

Or maybe they're just supporting their club, albeit in a highly irritating way? I've no doubt that they're annoying, but there's nothing wrong, imo, in getting behind your team.
We get a lot of people on here calling us deluded for looking at positives (and it's not all of us by a long chalk). Nobody here thinks we're world beaters, but supporting your club is about seeing the positives, giving credit for improvements and being optimistic about the future, etc.
That's certainly my philosophy anyway.

 

What was stupid about stating our poor start has hampered us massively?

I

 

Agreed

 

Might have something to do with us and Spurs and others having poor starts, its not exclusive to one club.

 

Our reasons are a little more justified.

New manager
New to the league
3 weeks with the squad before first game
Massive clear out
More than just 1 player out injured unlike some clubs whp claim the loss of one player hampered them significantly yet dont take to kindly to claims they are a one man team

 

Flanno is almost back though

 

I never said they werent supporting the club. Just pointing out they are the last ppl I would call whingers on our board.

On your point, you can be a supporter and still criticise aspects of the team/performamce/management. Nowt wrong in that. I consider fickleness far worse tbh.

 

smiths pretty sensible until you mentioned liverpool.

 

You're joking right?

He refers to us(******ed scousers )in almost evey comment he posts and he manages to mention LFC on subjects that have no baring or relevance to us.

He's a raving lunatic.
