Manini Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 considering my comment did cause a bit of traction I thought I’d join back in here. I’d like to politely point out that I said I’d never met a Mancunian who i would go out of my way to spend more time with (my own definition of sound). Probably just bad luck on my part! I like the city and yes I’m sure the population has its fair share of morally upstanding citizens. I’m sorry if anyone was offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 If Maguire’s knobstain of a brother is slagging us then it makes you wonder what Maguire himself has been saying on the down low, not that I particularly care 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t like Maguire, Manu, their fans, manager or players. Very over inflated sense of self that I have no time for, a bit like the rest of the trad top 6 and their fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent most of the season laughing at Maguire and United, but we couldn't score against them in 180mins of football and they overhauled us to finish top 4. If you dish it out, you've got to take it too. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Corky Posted 31 July 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 31 July 2020 He was our third best defender, just because Man United got Fernandes in and dragged themselves over the line doesn't change the fact we were absolutely right to take the money and have improved without him. They bought him with the intention of winning titles, not finishing a few points ahead of little Leicester who averaged a point a game for months. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've won the same as us this season, fvck all. I was pleased to see Chelsea beat them in semi finals of the FA Cup. Man Utd are a club built on trophies and now they're celebrating finishing 4th. 3rd. Remember when Wenger used to finish top 4 with Arsenal every season and other clubs' fans used to take the piss out of him Now it's them celebrating winning nothing (same applies to Spurs fans).

I'm sure the Man United fans are hurriedly trying to hide/ delete the tweets slating Maguire before February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. Still divergent views about him on the Caf. I'd estimate that those who don't consider him good enough for a title challenge are in the minority, but it's close to 50-50. A lot of them grasp that he is only a piece of the puzzle, not the answer, and has to be played with much faster/better partner(s) than the likes of Lindelof. Or in a three. It's true some of them continue to argue he was a smart buying decision at £80M. They're either idiots ... or understand that £80M to MUFC is probably the same as £25M to LCFC. Always more where it came from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CosbehFox Posted 31 July 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted 31 July 2020 Bottom line is when you got United fans doing that, it means they are threatened by you. None of this Pat on the head ‘you are a decent team’ stuff. We’ve genuinely got under their skin.

Always more where it came from. It's not though, is it. Pogba is listed as their record signing at £89.3m (I Googled that) and with the rumoured add-on for UCL qualification it probably takes the Slabhead fee above that. So if that's their record signing it's probably the same as the fee LCFC paid for Slimani or Tielemans (whichever one is our record signing).

Up to and including 2015-16 The Big 6 had only finished top 6 2 or 3 times, it was a largely media driven construct up to that point, but it became a self fulfilling prophecy partly because the bigger your media profile the more money you get. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media jackpot, by being undeservedly classed along side serial winners and big spenders and financially benefitting by being shown on TV more and getting rolled up in the big six/Super Sunday media circus.
