AtariLegend Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Barcelona might not be the team from a few years ago, but they'll run through United. This is not a 3 player team like PSG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Just now, Len Cnut said: Yeah he was at the wheel last Sunday weren't he? He's been at the wheel for quite some time now. He was at the wheel when we beat Tottenham away. Chelsea away. PSG away. And of course Arsenal away. He's been at the wheel for, what is it, 14 victories, 2 draws and two losses now? Or something like that. You cannot deny the great results. As for the last match against Arsenal, a draw or win for United would have been a more fair result, but that's football, "innit"?

They didn't give a fuck for Mourinho -- and I am fine with that Give it some time with proper man-management where they are treated decently and they will be as loyal to the club as any footballer can be. Because, you know, United is a club with pedigree and history, Ole is bringing it back and, as you know, the players are proud to play for the club again and we fans are proud to watch them play.

If so, it is a problem with the modern footballer and not the United players. Except that we have a few academy players who are likely to be loyal, and except for the fact that we, as I said, have a pedigree and history that evokes more loyalty than clubs with no such thing who just buy players.

I've not noticed any United is special. It comes with the pedigree and history. Teams that "lead the way with that kinda shit" are teams like City and Chelsea and PSG, teams with nothing but rich owners. Upstarts. Brats. Such teams doesn't instill loyalty, because players come because of the cash not because of also playing for a legendary team. And you will.

DieselDaisy Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) All these teams are basically as historical as each other. Most of these clubs were founded at about the same time, as the 19th century gave way to the 20th. Manchester United haven't got a monopoly on history haha.
