Man Utd Thread:

[ludermor]

Anyone who doesn't think Man Utd are a team in decline are deluding themselves . . . This season is almost a write off at this stage and I think you will see a bit of a slump akin to 2003-2006 and it will take another Ronaldo to get them out of it and also a lot more time and dedication to do it.

Can Fergie keep going for another 3/4 years?? I think it's a big ask but you never know. I think he should have gone out last year on somewhat of a high but then men like that can't really stop and who can blame him.

I will be happy nough to see the demise of the team though so I'm happy enough!

Why?

I have an extreme dislike for Alex Ferguson and the United supporters who because their 'team' win the league decide they are somehow a superior being to everyone. All because they just decided one day to follow Manchester United because they are a big club in England and have no tangible link to Manchester or the players or the football club . . . it completely baffles me!

The GAA on the other hand I have to stick my lot in with Derry, I live in the County, have played once or twice for them at underage, I have played along with and against lads currently on the team. That's a proper link to a football team. Not "Manchester United seem successful I'm gonna support them so I can feel better about myself rather than those who don't".

That's it really!

so have the same hatred for liverpoll/villa/leeds fans as well?

No . . . I don't find their supporters as blinkered/smug/annoying!

But the vast majority of their supporters started supporting them when they were successful so the your criteria for hating man Utd should apply to them as well.

Screen you sir have a serious chip on your shoulder. I would doubt if anyone on here sheds any tears about any premier league clubs and if they do they need their heads examined. I follow Utd for fun, nothing else. It does not even come close in importance to my support of Tyrone and my support of Errigal Ciaran is even higher again. Following English football clubs is for banter/craic amongst friends. Following local GAA is on another level.

Good auld Screen a broken record springs to mind. He supports Blackburn though he lost interest when they stopped challenging United in the mid 90s. Clown, it's well known in these parts that you are not a United fan you probably hate them as much as the next non-united fan but at least your not letting your heart rule your head like the Derry man above.

You should have known that comment was gonna come back and bite you in the arse screenexile! A Blackburn fan in the Shearer era!! Tim Flowers, that Scot with the big blonde head on him, Mike Newell, Tim Sherwood, Paul Warhurst, Chris Sutton and now turning your back on Samba, Robinson, Givet, the Yak, Gamst Pedersen... not following glory there then!! ha ha

Thats what makes following football such good craic, begrudgers like you that the United fans can laugh at when they win another trophy as it winds you up so much seeing fellas take enjoyment from associating themselves with a successful team.

I thought it was as clear as day that I'm an ABU I have never hidden that fact. As for 'supporting' Blackburn well I was about 13/14 when they won the league and as always I did it to get at the Utd fans of the time. Since then I have watched maybe 4 Blackburn games on the tele and lived in Manchester for a year without travelling the 30 miles to Ewood Park so calling me a Blackburn Supporter would be a bit of a stretch.

I don't know what the problem is I'm just giving you lads an insight into the ABU mentality!!

The bit in bold is clearly directed at Clown the poster. As i said already it's broken record stuff from you with the ABU posts here but if it keeps you happy well knock yourself out!

Oh, sorry for trying to have a bit of banter by telling an old joke. Seems this forum doesn't do banter

I see one of Fergies kids, Ronnie Wallwork, was sent to jail today for for 15 months for handling stolen goods. Shame really as he was a handy player in his day.

Hope so and think they probably will grind something out. Do not expect it to be pretty though.
