This type of thing, no?
Is he not saying “prove to me you aren’t the worst Man Utd team in recent history”

United are a shitshow at the minute but it won't last forever. Beating them never gets dull as despite how crap they are, their fans always turn up expecting to win.
I might listen to Talksport tomorrow. That bell end Goldstein moaning without mentioning Brighton once will definitely be the topic of conversation in the afternoon show.

Until they ask "who are you"?
I used to work with a ManU fan during Ferguson’s era when they won everything. He wasn’t a bad lad, but when I used to go in to work after a weekend win against say Mansfield town and be super happy, he would be none plus about another United win, it was just what he expected. I often wonder what he thinks now the team I supported shit on United so often now. 
At the time neither of us would have believed it.

I think there should have been an option in the poll of "I'd rather we could beat Fulham"
Better this way. Once you add fantasy oriented-stuff like that, the poll is polluted.
And that's football in a nutshell isn't it. Completely nonsensical.
We've beaten Man Utd six times out of the last seven.
Man Utd have beaten Fulham seven times out of the last nine (and one was a draw).
Fulham have beaten us five time out of the last eight (with three draws).
It's just a circular merry-go-round of points!

You lucked out. I’ve known a few at clients and work, in that era, all but one were t@ssers when it came to football. Amazing how many clubs they despised including the Albion. Not one, I’m talking over 25 years, ever went to a Manure PL game. All Sussex born n bred.

Have quickly hashed this up. No classes in this morning so it'll be up most of the day. Already triggered a teacher and i've had a variety of moans and also some good comments from kids.
I am not so sure. I am willing to be corrected but does this Ineos chap actually have any meaingful success with the sports side of his business? I cannot be arsed to look into this, but I believe he took over the hugely successful Sky cycling team but I have not heard of Ineos winning anything, and his three football clubs have not been overly successful.

I'd rather talk about football with anyone else on the planet- that includes people who have no interest in it, than a southern Man United fan.
Pipped to first place, JUST, by "any Chelsea fan"
Posted similar on another thread surely the best man u strategy in short term is to scour the whole of EPL for older players and players that are out of contract or coming to end of contract pick the most commited , skillful , professional and bobs ya uncle you have a cheaply put together team of decent EPL players.
Anything is better than the overseas garbage they are buying at the moment.
For instance , they could take mitoma , veltman , wellbz and dunk off us for next to nothing in the summer.
Where do I pick up my cheque?

Yes, me too. Yes I know it's Man U, Yes I know they've won a squillion trophies and we've just got the 1910 Charity Shield. Yes I know there will be millions of disappointed plastics all over the world right now whose misery I should be revelling in. I know all about the Busby Babes, Law, Charlton, Best, Sir Alex, Eric Cantona, etc etc - but the fact remains that this current 2025 Man U team are a shambles. An expensively-assembled shambles admittedly, but still a shambles.
If we've got any European ambitions at all then winning away at lower-division sides in disarray with appalling home records is pretty much what we should be doing. The fact it's Man U in that position doesn't alter that.
(But yeah ..... We beat Man U!

You've got a point. He's employed Brailsford who was the marginal gains chap that reckoned the Sky cycling team got better through taking their mattresses from home on a cycling trip and absolutely nothing to do with other means of performance enhancements. I've marked him down as a chancer that has got lucky.
Ineos seem to run football like they would a Chemical factory and I think it's massively missed the mark. Sacking Doris the tea lady (250 jobs cut) when you are spunking x hundred K a week on the likes of Rashford is pissing in the wind and creating disharmony in the process. It won't get better immediately that's for sure.
The but is that they won't be around forever if they fail and Utd will always generate more revenue that we will. At some point, natural order will be resumed. In the meantime, I'm thoroughly enjoying laughing at all the wankers who support and pontificate about them.
