Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

No I looked at the name of who wrote it at the top and I am aware who Andy Hunter is.

Trust me, it took less than 5 minutes, I'd already read bbc, f365 and the guardinas and the rest you just type the name of the paper in the top of your browser, click sport, click football, click the United v Villa skim read for Rooney. Easy.

MOTD mentioned it in commentary but they didn't in the analysis.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I'm curious then, how do you know who Andy Hunter is, what team he supports and where he's from? You knew who he was before that link was posted and you honestly didn't Google him to find anything out?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Because I'm interested in football journalism and I've seen his name mentioned in Mediawatch on f365. You get a slightly different angle on articles if you know who wrote them and what they're background/motives are. On the Guardian's website you can click the name of the author and read a small bio on them.

Henry Winter (Telegraph's main football man) wrote Gerrard's autobiography so anything he writes on him is pure arselicking and onesided and it's the same with other journalists who've done other players.

Rob Smyth of the Guardian has come into a lot of criticism from our fan's because he's a United fan yet has written some really negative bollocks about us in his articles.

Just because you don't know something or think I'd know it, it doesn't mean I don't.

Sorry missed your edit.

And it wasn't baiting at all, I fully expect you and Abou to come in after any post about Liverpool and try to take the piss somehow claiming it's inaccurate/lies/biased/written by a Liverpool supporting journalist you had to Google and check first/etc because you just can't let anything positive get said in the LIVERPOOL thread without trying to have a say and make it negative.

That was my point. I said it ages ago, and it still stands, but I swear you spend more time in the LIVERPOOL thread than "your own". And no, I'm not going to research it on Google to bring up stats to back up my claim that you do spend more time in the Liverpool thread :LOL:

I have said positive things about Liverpool before. :LOL:

The thing about Liverpool fans is you can often seem quite detached from reality when it comes to your team, which is fair enough, but to other fans (not just Uniteds) this can be quite funny.

It's not just RedCafe that have a 'RAWK's In Meltdown' thread. Apparently they have them on Chelsea and Arsenal's main fans forums too. It's hard to explain without sounding like I'm having a dig but there's something different about Liverpool fans and I don't mean the cringeworthy rallying calls and 'What it means to support the greatest team in the land' shite that gets written in those essays you get a lot from your bunch.

The constant blind defence of Rafa and blaming of the owners is probably justified in some cases but the fact every defeat and failing Rafa makes is met with 100% support is what makes it so funny and makes everyone else laugh more.

I can't really explain it but there's a reason your fans get more shit than anyone else and it's not cos we're all jealous.

Tell you what I'd love to see though. How about emailing Paul Tomkins (Liverpool writer and whos blog posts I regularly copy onto this forum) and have a discussion with him about how he's so biased and has incorrect info. I'm not the greatest at going through trawling the internet for facts to back up my claims but I'm sure he'd have a field day with your claims that he's wrong. And likewise, I'm sure you'd have fun trying to pick his claims apart as well. It'd make fun reading :)

Maybe I will. :) It was Hunter who I said was incorrect with his claim that Rafa has so far refused to blame finances for the clubs performances when I'm sure you'll agree Rafa has been saying this for almost 2 seasons.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

First time to Old Trafford...the atmosphere is amazing!! kinda sad that Rooney, Berba didn't really come to play. I have to say that Park didn't really deserve to start, he had some nice plays, but most of the time he was wasteful. But the one that I realy have to say played poor was Carrick!! His passes were miserable...so wasteful! 9/10 of his passes didn't connect. (can also be since not much movement were available up front). Can see why gibson came on for Anderson instead of carrick as our d-line is a bit shaky, but I'd much rather have Obertan in and give us some more flair.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Wow, go Giggsy. Now if only he could put in a first half performance...

Fergie better not have rested him on Saturday for that! ;)
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

yeah hes got a slight injury, might be a calf strain, cant remember tbh
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Good win, Was pretty boring but with our current injury list its more than enough.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Looks like Vida is out for the weekend, another calf strain. Plus Brown did his hamstring.

Back to Carrick, Fletcher, DeLaet and Evra. Now there's a world class back 4.

What the hell are our defenders doing? Have they forgotten how to warm up ffs!?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I know we're struggling a little bit but I guess we have no choice but to give them all an extended rest incase stuff like this happens again.
I think our new look defence is doing the job just fine.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

We haven't exactly come up against top opposition with them yet though. Saying that we lost to Villa (although that was partly down to our frontline having an off day) but then Grafite didn't turn up in Wolfsburg and Dzeko grabbed a goal but other than that we've not been troubled by a decent forward.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Back to Milan we go... I wonder how Beckham will fare against his old team.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I honestly think I'd cheer him scoring a trademark free kick against us. What a strange feeling.

Will be weirder if Ruud went to Liverpool. Would really struggle not to chant rrrruuuuuuuuuuddddd if he scored.

Damn you Fergie.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

thanks for the great video! just reminded me what we've been missing. and it just struck me all over again what a great crosser of the ball he is. arguably the best crosser in his time, and maybe even now. can't wait for him to come back to old trafford.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Worst performance of the season. But I can't say I'm surprised, Fulham are very good, on great form, and Zamora is a centre forward playing against Carrick and Fletcher at the back. We had no balance whatsoever.

This injury crisis has derailed our season. I hope for the rest of it we focus on the CL, and give the youngsters a chance.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Yup that somes it up.

That's our fifth loss this season and each time we've failed to score. Worrying.
