Man U EMBARASSMENT

[Driver8]

What is funny is that Man U think they are a Barca or Real Madrid.

What is also funny is the the Premier League fans are always telling us that the Spanish League is weak apart from the top two but they all seem to be doing considerably better than the English teams. Valencia 5-0 up, Sevilla 3-0 up, Villarreal 1-0 up, Ath Bilbao drawing at Marseille.

cant argue with that, but more what did happen to the VG ? (shop that is)

I think it says a lot that I've heard/seen numerous United fans (supposedly) ask what this sort of form means for the financial aspect of the club.

No real concern over lack of league challenge, not really upset that they've just been beaten by a team they really should've monstered..oh no, more concerned about the 'brand'.

I watched the second half and got to say that the Danish side were good value for that win. Man U looked ordinary. It was like watching a mid-table Championship side and as others have said, if Lingaard can hold down a regular spot then there is something seriously wrong at Old Trafford.

Love it. Hate that team.

You got to feel for the ManU fans that actually attended and paid £71 for a match ticket though ,

Nah. They've had loads of high points over the last 20 years. F**k 'em.

The fact that Jesse Lingard is a regular starter highlights their lack of real talent. He has been average at best for them and is nowhere near the quality of player United need if they are to compete with the top teams. He was unimpressive tonight.

Have to say I have been amazed that a player who was no better than OK when on loan to us last season suddenly becomes a fixture in United's starting XI.

fully agree .

In their defence, the injury list they have would rival any NHS ward.

However, it doesn't excuse some shit performances. Being a relative youngster, Utd were the team growing up, so it's a bit off seeing them faltering. However, seeing any big club falter (Man Utd, Chelsea etc) is always cause for a chuckle.

Apparently LVG is blaming 'murphys law'

Utd could very easily do a Liverpool and go years without a trophy. Great to see. Seem to think they have some sort of devine right to win something.

 

[Pavilionaire]

This is a bad result. LVG seems to be doing worse than Moyes, without Rooney they have no hope of Champions League.

This is a bad result. LVG seems to be doing worse than Moyes ...

... after being handed a wad of cash - something that was denied to Moyes

Perhaps they are returning back to the glory years of the 70's and 80's where they picked up 5 Trophies and that included a Charity Shield and a Div 2 Trophy.

Quite. People tend to forget what a laughing stock they were in those days when, despite waving their cheque book around, they couldn't buy the success they so desperately craved.

Its turning into a beautiful story. Man U shares still on a very high PE though

 

[Megazone]

They're not even the best and most attractive club in their city. Not only are we seeing Man U shrink, we're seeing Man City grow. It must be a complete nightmare for the few United fans who actually live in Manchester.

PS Does anyone remember the United merchandise shop on Western rd back in the 90's? How times have changed.

Enjoying the Van Gaal years, long may it continue.

The sense of entitlement spewing from Man U fans is hilarious. I pointed out to one who was telling me that the culture of Man U was to win playing attacking football. I pointed out that in fact apart from one manager (two if we go back as far as Busby) the culture of United is underachieving. He didn't like the idea of them reverting to type after Fergie's success.

This is very true.

Manchester United have won a total of 60 major trophies in their history. 51 of those 60 titles came under Matt Busby (13 between 1951 and 1968) and Ferguson (38 between 1989 and 2013).

Take those two managers out of the equation and they're below Newcastle, Forest, Wolves and Blackburn in the trophy haul count. And they're on a par with Sunderland, Leeds, WBA and Sheffield Wednesday
