The Official Manchester United Thread [Vol 5]
Discussion
1. So Leicester are dirty? OK then let's have a look:
http://www.espnfc.com/barclays-premier-league/23/s...
Leicester in 14th place with 48Y and 3R...4 below ManU in 10th with 61Y and 1R.
So nope not dirty then.
2. Leicester don't play much football.
Well they have the most creative player in the league and deserved Player of the Year in Mahrez (17 goals, 11 assists) and Vardy has equalled Van Nistelroy's record for most goals in consecutive games and also a good chance to win Goal of the Season (volley against Liverpool).
So wrong again.
3. Displays a superb level of bitterness and jealousy
It would seem so.
(Vardy can be a bit of a tit though!)

It's so depressing that nobody can have a discussion without getting nasty and personal.
Have you actually watched Leicester play? I would give 2-3 penalties against them every game for fouling during corners. They are one of the most consistently cynical teams in the PL.
Would you like a pint of bitter to go with your sour grapes.. Such a sad sad loser.Have you actually watched Leicester play? I would give 2-3 penalties against them every game for fouling during corners. They are one of the most consistently cynical teams in the PL.

Huth is dirty but he is Mother Theresa next to that scumbag Fellaini.Most teams have one or two - get over it

City in particular have embarrassed themselves.
Yes, only won the League cup and one game away from The Champion's league final, as well as fourth in the league.Not a great season, but we would certainly have taken that ten years ago.
Pep to come in shortly...all the dead wood out, the future's bright.
Well done Leicester btw, nice to see an underdog upset the big boys.

Did I miss the memo about having to pretend Leicester are the Second Coming? They're a dirty, park the bus team with a lot of fairly unpleasant players (including National Treasure Vardy).
Horrible teams have won the PL before, but none anything close to Leicester for not playing much football and being cynical off the ball. We all know this but most of us seem to have decided to turn a blind eye to it and jump on the bandwagon with the BBC fairy tale narrative.
Bugger all to do with being a Utd fan. If Spurs won the PL, I would be pleased as punch for them - a great young team that plays good football.
The big story this season is how every other team has managed to be so bad that Leicester are going to win the league. City in particular have embarrassed themselves.
Bloody hell, what is happening in the world, I actually agree with something ORD has written.Horrible teams have won the PL before, but none anything close to Leicester for not playing much football and being cynical off the ball.

4th in the league despite having easily the best team and easily the best squad. Not very impressive. Not a great season, but we would certainly have taken that ten years ago.

You seem to epitomise the spoilt fan of a top team, style matters above all and everyone should play some Barcelona fantasy football to be worthy of winning the league. The reality for most fans of teams outside the old top four is that there is the constant worry of relegation and a win is a win. Seeing Leicester win is good for the romantic belief that anyone can win no matter the odds and for once money doesn't matter, it probably won't happen again in my lifetime but good on them for sustaining it over the season.Horrible teams have won the PL before, but none anything close to Leicester for not playing much football and being cynical off the ball.

City have been poor in the league this season,but they could win the Ecl,honestly if Ronaldo isnt fit I fancy city to make the final and then anything is possible.Horrible teams have won the PL before, but none anything close to Leicester for not playing much football and being cynical off the ball.

No excuses next year. A title charge is a must.
How Morgan, Albrighton, Vardy, Drinkwater, Huth, Simpson to name but a few have won the league is beyond me and my footballing imagination. Just shows what a manager can do by playing the best style to fit the players he has. ORD, why would Leicester try and play god football when they are much better equipped for counter attacking? I bet if Leicester had continued the way they started they would have dropped off big time. Instead they are champions and we are lingering in 5th/6th with s like Depay putting in no effort whatsoever.

Well said. Utter nonsense calling the new champions "dross" and whinging they don't try and play flowing attractive football like teams assembled with £500M so that teams who actually have spent £500M (rather than £23M Leicester squad) can beat them and win the title instead.chrisb92 said:

This.Versus LVG who can field up to 7 outfield players out of their natural positions.
I think he drians the life out of our players so that they stop playing naturally because they are confused by his instructions.
Maybe Ranieri could have won the title as United manager?
He would certainly have got more out of the squad than LVG.

Well deserved win and makes a mockery of so called superstars commanding big transfer fees and huge salaries.
