Premier League

[Norbert Rassragr]

Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford need to be shipped out ASAP. They're like Murphy and Etuhu when they were here, stinking out the dressing room. So many players at Man United have terrible attitude.

this match is the epitome of man utd,lack of desire,lack of discipline and lack of fight for the ball,if there wer`nt so many awful sides in the premier league,id`e say they were possible relegation candidates

Can't disagree with any of that

United fans I work with have wrote this season off and blame Ratcliffe and his staff for it. They say why keep Ten Hag and give him a new contract only to get rid after a few months. 

Poor signings. Players who should have left like Casemiro and Maguire in the summer..

They are saying massive rebuild needed in the summer with Rashford, Maguire, Anthony, Eriksen, Casemiro, Martinez. Players needed are a striker, left wing back, 2 centre midfielders, left footed centre back, back up centre back.

The most important thing about the prevailing situation at Old Trafford is that it is very, very funny.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch. Hope Ratcliffe is having a rotten Christmas.

[Mattyblue]

People actually talk to Man Utd (or Liverpool) ‘fans’ about football? Some pathetic armchair fan who should be down at Ewood or wherever else supporting their local team.

Feck them, I wouldn’t waste a second of my time engaging them.

[chaddyrovers]

Good for you Matty 

[Mattyblue]

Oh it is, I don’t have to hear their entitled whining.

Same applies for City! Beautiful to see.

Some Utd fans calling for Amorins Head...I kid you not!

[Norbert Rassragr]

Maybe they can have Wayne Rooney then, and Almorim can go back to Sporting Lisbon where he was doing so well. A sort of returns policy.

Good for you Matty. I just enjoyed talking about football and discussing different opinions on things. 

It's enjoyable listening to the pain in their voice when talking about the problems at the club

[Mattyblue]

Not real pain as they aren’t real fans.

Why? How do you know that? 

[Mattyblue]

Because they are a Man Utd ‘fan’ from Blackburn or Preston or Accy or Bolton etc etc.

Right. What that got to do with owt. Parents might live over here but original from the Manchester area or it's the team they starting following 20 years or even longer. 

[Mattyblue]

Ha if you believe that, the old ‘my parents drove past Old Trafford once’ 

As for ‘supporting them 20 years ago’. Yeah wonder why they started doing that 🤔?

People support the team they do for different reasons whether its cos their parents support this team or it's local team, etc. 

Sounds you are bitter one not the United fans I know. They support them for whatever reasons they do just like Liverpool fans i know, or PNE or Blackpool or West Ham fan I know.

Go on explain then? 

I work with someone who 58 years old who has support United since he was 5 years old. Was a STH in the 80's and 90's. Not been one since 2003. How is that embarrassing? 

[Mattyblue]

Bitter? Nah, I feel sorry for them.

[Norbert Rassragr]

Nice to know I'm not a real fan since I was born in Barnet, and spent my early childhood abroad. This information could be useful in the future. I suppose if I put on a Lancashire accent, dress up like one of the Goodies and study the martial art of Eckie Thump, I might get away with it.

I assume Upside Down is originally from the Blackburn area, but lives in either Australia or New Zealand so they're OK.

[roverandout]

My parents are from Manchester.  They were United supporters.  But they also took alot of interest in rovers

[Mattyblue]

Don’t be daft Norbert. There are loads of tales to why folk support clubs across the country. All part and parcel of the game’s rich tapestry.

We both know that Utd and Liverpool are not comparable as there are *millions* of people with no connection to those two club across the country apart from the fact they are successful - otherwise why isn’t every town full of Rovers fans or Villa fans or Everton fans.

[Norbert Rassragr]

Even saying what I did, glory supporters are tossers, I agree. Here in Coventry, I'd say the majority are Sky Blue fans, even after all the dramas they had. Attendances are up and down but you see most kids in Coventry City kits. All the west African immigrants I've worked with support either Arsenal or Chelsea. 

You'd hate Bedfordshire Mattyblue. I spent my secondary school and university years there, and all the big London clubs, Man Utd and Liverpool were supported. Only a couple supported Luton Town, and my dad knew one Bedford Town season ticket holder. Tottenham was probably the most popular London club.

[Mattyblue]

Oh I would. We get ‘lucky’ in a way up here that the London clubs don’t get much of a look in… but then again you weirdly never saw a City shirt until c2012… wonder what happened then? 🤷‍♂️

[chaddyrovers]

Not everyone wears their football club colours outside non football match days. 

People support whatever reasons. It's doesn't matter to me why that is.
