Diamonds are Forever Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) 13 minutes ago, TheScarf said: Which squad do you mean? I can't think of one nearly as dogshit as this one. Full of utter jobbers. 2013 is the one people talk about, but I think that's overplayed. They still had a team full of established winners like Ferdinand, Evra, Rooney, Giggs, Fletcher, Vidic Carrick, Hernandez, plus had just bought the best player in the league in van Persie. They were also a last minute goal away from winning the league the previous season which shows even without van Persie (who is always credited with winning them the title) that they were a very good team. What is definitely true is that team were right at the end of their winning cycle, all the guys mentioned were at, or slightly past, their best. And the youngsters Ferguson had brought in to be the next generation were largely useless. But that fact has kind of morphed into this idea that Ferguson worked miracles to win the league 2013, which isn't true.

Or the 2011 one, which would be an equally mental shout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jives Miguel Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 That Ten Hag interview is bordering on parody. Absolutely delusional takes. I'd like to know why he doesn't get pelters for how defensive his sides are. If that was a Conte or Mourinho team yesterday, they would be getting murdered for bus parking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its because he won the league a few times (with the biggest Dutch club, hardly an achievement)the Nigels seem to see him as some kind of messiah. And also the media all want United to be brilliant again. He's basically immune from criticism. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 So I see a 42 year old Arsenal fan has been arrested and charged for trying to assault Roy Keane and Micah Richards. Stupidity knows no bounds, I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard this a couple times now too. I thought their 2nd tier was the strongest in world football? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s finish with Chelsea. What is going on there? Pochettino now says he needs time to mould a team. There isn’t any time Poch. The time is NOW. Sort it out for goodness sake. This part really resonated with me. Chelsea are a proper club, with proper fans. And they absolutely deserve better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common misconception there. They are no longer Manchester United Football Club. They are now officially registered as Manchester United PLC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
