Agreed, as you say it’s a problem in the media not the fan base - he’s right that it’s a disrespect but he’s missed the mark, the disrespect is when it’s Manchester United v Newcastle or Leeds or West Ham etc and the coverage exclusively refers to “United”, at best it’s pandering and at worst it’s disrespectful either way it’s pathetic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 If Wilson stays fit then Isak is going to have a hard time getting back into the team. 26 goals in 53 games for us. And half of those were playing Bruce Ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have an Irish boss who was a Liverpool fan who used to say United referring to them all the time so I always corrected him by saying "Man United" every time - by the end of the time I worked for him (6 years) he'd been cured. His brother used to travel across from Ireland for all the scouse cunt games but he'd never been and he talked about making the Champions league final in Istanbul his first game but I did threaten to murder him if he did - just for it being his first game. He didn't go in the end but eventually went to a few normal games - they used to offer discounts on tickets for midweek games when the Scandinavian/Irish tourists couldn't make it so he took them up on the offer a few times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44900 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Looking at the game against Chelsea and what they've got going on in the lead-up: 2/11 CL: Zagreb (H) 6/11 PL: Arsenal (H) 9/11 EFL cup: Man City (A) ... Before travelling to SJP on the 12th. I think we've got a massive chance of beating them at SJP. Their workload is greater than ours (CL game), they're on the road mid-week prior to the game where we're at home, and they've got games against the top 2 in the country, albeit one in the cup. If Brighton can pump these at home, I fancy we can get a result too and sign off for the World Cup on a high and potentially in the top 4. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if it’s a thing but they seem to be playing more of the players they’ve brought through themselves recently, the ones who are usually farmed out on loan, Chalobah & Gallagher etc. Losing Abramovich looks like it’s hurting them … 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hopefully you're right and that was just a new owner coming on board. I think we'll get ahead of these other teams in time anyway, but it wouldn't hurt to have one of them fall away to accelerate things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days I really couldn't give a shit. People get up in arms about it because they perceive it as arrogance on Man United's part when in reality it came about to differentiate them from the other main team in Manchester. So long as we stay above them, they can refer to themselves however they want for me. There's far more important things for us to get worked up about than this.

ewerk 30620 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) I did do a double take yesterday during the Man U/West Ham match when Martin Tyler referred to the ‘two Uniteds’. I’ll chalk it up to old age and assume it’ll be back to normal next time we play ‘United’. Edited October 31, 2022 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Manchester United aren't even a proper 'united'. Neither are Leeds. They're just renamed clubs whereas we came about as the amalgamation of two clubs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
