You will never have the domination you had under fergie ever again, it's over, done, your time is up, you'll win a thing here and there but the heyday is in the past, the wheels are coming off the bandwagon and the rest of the world is happy.

Utter bks. The rest of the world are ABUs? Who knew.

Fergie would've put that agent in his place.

Or tried to get his son in on the job perhaps.

I feel sorry for Man Utd (and fans). JM is bringing the club down.

Whatever he had was years ago.

Sad really

There really cannot be any non Man Utd fans anywhere that are not enjoying the current Melt down at the once famous old club tbh.

Fact .

But there aren’t any ABUs anymore. I’m confused.

Well I must be the only one then,

Or more likely the only one to admit it. It’s so tough being an honest fellow at times.

I am sure Man Utd will recover from this mini melt down but please let us ABU’s enjoy it while it lasts .

It’s only a bit of fun at the end of the day.

Course you’re going to enjoy it and why not. There are still those that come into this thread just for a rise and aren’t honest enough to admit being ABUs or that they still exist.

I'll happily admit to being an ABU. And I don't support a club, so no obvious axe to grind. But I won't come on here and wind people up as that's pretty childish - I'll leave that to others!

It's only football at the end of the day.

[200Plus Club]

Some of it appears jokey wind up and some of it just appears a bit childish and very petty / jealous that's all.
Anyway, back to our mini meltdown. If we beat spuds is it over and will it go quiet on here again? Are the kids back at school soon?
I assume if we lose we are in for more visitors coming to poke fun.... jese.

One thing is certain, we won't be out of the frame for 25yrs this next time round. Meantime people need to come up with a way of beating city any way or all this will be pointless, and despite Scouse optimism im afraid they aren't the second coming they think they are..

[ORD]

Now we have ABUs that don’t even support a club. Tells you a lot about his calibre as a football man.

I think that depends...

Should you lose by the odd goal, but are competitive throughout the match you'll not see much WUMing.
But get battered, and you'll be in for a tough time.

How do you think Jose will set them up for this one? He needs to make something happen to change the momentum, doesn't he?

[jammy-git]

The issue this thread has is that anyone is isn't a Utd fan can't start a discussion about any perceived issues at the club without being shouted down as an ABU.

It's been clear that Jose has had issues almost since the day he's arrived and any time anyone else has brought them up most of you guys have said that everything was fine and that he just needs time. Now he's had time, the same issues persist and most of you guys are saying the same things some of us "ABUs" have been saying for quite a while now.

No idea,but would expect to see if fit ,smalling ,jones ,sanchez and matic all starting.Given the mood of the fans the players should run themselves into the ground,nothing else will be acceptable.

[ORD]

Not really - most ABUs just come on shouting ‘Nah nah nah nah nah’ and claiming that their inferior side is perfect. It’s tiresome.

Classic cry baby tactics.

Those that want a constructive discussion have one. Those that are here to WUM are challenged.

Plenty united fans see the problems - non united fans don’t have a monopoly on seeing the problems.

[Adam B]

Can’t believe this nonsense has started again.

As a Liverpool fan of course I am happy when Utd lose, they are a competitor for the top slots, same as I am happy when any of the other top sides lose. That can exist without being tts about it, you expect some p taking when your side loses which is fine if it has some wit about it. Not the sort of antagonistic crap that Justin posted above.

We had a couple of pages of interesting and intelligent debate about JM, the club, and transfer policies without descending into this nonsense and as a result the Utd posters were receptive. How about we return to that?

A lot of those issues happen to be the same as they were under moyes and lvg ..style of football,not enough effort.a lack of quality.People rattle on about how much has been spent but they miss how much has been spent badly,and how Jose has only been partially supported by the board,a board which underinvested the last 4-5 years under fergy "no value in the market' whilst city were buying Kompany,aguero,silva etc United were buying bebe ,powell,buttner ..the list is astonishing ..depay,schneiderlin,obertan ,di maria ,I could go on and on.
As for abu-ism,there is an element of that,but seeing as though many who act prats on here act in the same way on other team boards then it's not that bad,although the likes of mike74 and justin need sectioning.

I agree entirely. This thread is probably the most receptive of fans of other clubs, as long as they behave like grown ups.

For the most part, the Liverpool and Utd fans tend to get along fine. Most of the trouble makers are Spuds (Best 11 in the Universe) and the rest are the 2 or 3 City fans who prove that even success is not enough to stop them being miserable and bitter human beings.

Can (some) scousers please stop being sensible. It’s making me feel queasy.
