Nearly pissed myself laughing last night when the bbc "experts" were discussing the state of manu and roy keane (scumbag ) said that the fans should stop looking back at the past and instead they should look to the future - jug eared lineker asked if they should look forward with confidence and keane responded by saying "I didn't say that"

Keane was STEAMING last night. Fair play to him for telling it like it is though.
I particularly enjoyed a smug and smirking Keown twisting the knife after the match whilst the gormless Phil Neville stood by clearly fucked off but unable to muster a rebuttal as he team are shite.

If, in a different life, Phil Neville was born in Sparta they'd have taken one look at his gormless face and hoyed him off a cliff.

Came crashing down a bit today didn't it. Looking at the sides they've been putting out this year they are horrendously top-heavy, which is bad enough without the likes of Falcao and di Maria flattering to deceive.
It was a big ask with a lot of changes but I still think this was a great chance for them to win the title this year. No really stand-out side, no fixture congestion at all and an almost bottomless pit of money to chuck at players. The reason why they were so shit for months was not primarily 'gelling' or whatever, it was because van Gaal firstly ignored their defensive shortcomings and then exacerbated them by bizarrely playing 3 at the back.
Although we'd have to put up with all the sanctimonious shite from Sky with Liverpool nicking 4th and being in the Champions League, I would piss myself if the now 'genius' Van Gaal ends up with Manure in 5th. I guess the best outcome would be they finish 4th but get a tricky tie in the qualifier, and end up in the Thursday Night Challenge. Please, please, please!!!

defleppard - we've been through all that before. This thread is not about comparing us and them, it's purely about some joy from their shortcomings, particularly over the first 18 months after whiskey-face left. And there could still be some laughs to come this season. Treat it that way and enjoy!

Or wait till we play them again at OT and see where we are after that before laughing when it could all come back to haunt us.
Happy at their relative shitness, but they could just as easily still finish above us.
utd will eventually really be back. But until that day comes I suggest you enjoy every moment that they f*ck up, which since the Dark Lord Ferguson left has been quite a regular occurrence.
