The Official Manchester United Thread (Vol 8)
Discussion
Let's be honest chaps, you take the piss when things are not going well, that's football.
We had the old piss taking about the Xmas fall off , amazingly those guys have been quiet.
Is it not part of football you take piss out of people you speak to (I know it's a forum) who support a team not doing well??
I certainly would not leave a forum as it gets to bad when it's going wrong, especially when you chaps have had it good for so long..
You have always had a good team/squad we all saw Jose would do this but as you support your team you don't want to believe it...
I do think the worst thing you could do would be to keep OGS as it won't be this rosey for ever but whatever makes you happy as a fan..

I remember mike74 and his telling insights. Used to brighten this up no end lol. not been seen since we started winning again.
Big decision will be at seasons end when all results are in and we see how it panned out.
Top 2 still battling it out so realistically it's good to be aiming top 4. I don't think we'll do much in the CL but we can score now at least so PSG won't have it all their way.

From memory most of the United fans just stick to their thread, very little WUMing that you get from Spurs and us on other threads for the most part.
Wrong, they just stopped posting full stop when things got s
t And so just because you don't post in on the LFC thread does not mean you are not wumming, people know find well every thread gets read, people post in on their own trying to be subtle. BCM does that a lot
I don't care one bit, I said that's football... never known a year in my life where UTD fans who are my pals have mot taken the piss, that's football.

One of the ironic things is most "WUMs" said Jose was the problem and you needed to get rid of him. Except a few supporters of the best team in the world who say your team is crap, 
Now Jose is gone, and you've got a great run going on.
of sorts. the argument was (and still is) is that as long as Man Utd score more than one goal per game and keep outscoring everyone then they will do alright. Kinda like Real Madrid pre-Bale and Modric. Now Jose is gone, and you've got a great run going on.the problem is when the goals start to dry up, the defence is too leaky to sustain results and statistics say - they will.
Jose wanted to stay tighter in midfield to help out the back and also was not willing to throw Lukaku under the bus.
At least team is playing to its strengths and the stretford enders are kept happy as its attacking football.

Jose completely stifled the team's strengths, in that he had fast attacking creative players yet didn't allow them to play like that. And with the bad defence it meant leaking goals but not scoring any. Lukaku in the few games I've seen should be thrown under a bus, in that he was completely useless. You can't carry players if you want to be a top team. Man U in recent games seem to be a bit like us last season, as you said more goals than the opposition. Not likely to win a title, but a lot better than what was before. Hopefully they don't get a few players to improve the defence, or they could challenge next season. Or hopefully it is new manager effect and they drop off.the problem is when the goals start to dry up, the defence is too leaky to sustain results and statistics say - they will.

Tell that to the moderators. I have been banned for about a year from the LFC thread for pointing out that they won't win anything with Henderson in the CM! Not even taking the piss. I'm also banned from the England thread for saying (and I quote) that England are still not a very good side.

It is only in this thread that being critical (let alone taking the piss) is tolerated.

that is ridiculous, nothing wrong with debate or criticism, don't mind a bit of piss taking either although I try to refrainwish there was a "t
t" button rather than report, and too many presses gets you banned - mind get rid of the Leroys that just clutter up the threads and wind people up (and often ruin interesting conversations) - you have Deltona we seem to have MelchiottLoonyTunes said:

Yeah, bloody WUMs are a pain in the neck!
How are Spurs getting on, does anyone know?
Yes, they won 2-1, thanks for asking.How are Spurs getting on, does anyone know?
Is Ally really injured for a while though? Bit of bad luck with Kane out too and Son away on international duty. Still, at least the January transfer window is still open so you can bring in a top quality replacement.
