Someone's having a real laugh - butthead?

[Gnasher]

Brain dead Giggs waiting in the wings.

[Ginny]

I wish I could rep Boss again for the title of this thread. I can help but laugh every time i see it! 

[Gnasher]

If they lose the next game the protests will start again, the club shop will have to stock up on a load more Norwich city scarves.

[Iceman]

On the ball City, never mind the Glazers, steady on, now's your chance, oh you lost again! Glazers ! clap clap clap Glazers! clap clap clap.

[clangers]

Struggling to see how trying to impose a system when you clearly don't have the players to carry it off qualifies you as being a managerial genius?

 

At the moment he's taken them backwards from where Moyes left them.

[PestiRed]

He was fired from Bayern for refusing to change tactics and forcing players out of position. Looks like he hasn't changed much

[TheHowieLama]

It's not about hating him, merely hoping that his tenure ends in abject failure with his ignominious dismissal.

 

When hasn't it.

[Iceman]

I know it's early but this has potential to be quite spectacular. He's a fucking loon. He's stubborn as a mule and he's as vicious as a rattler. He's in a totally new environment that calls for a whole new skill set but he's arrogant as fuck so he potentially won't realize until it's too late.

 

He's at the back end of his illustrious career and you get the distinct impression he wouldn't think twice about calling out anyone who says anything about him that isn't totally to his liking. Let's hope the press or Mourinho start to have a go and we could be in store for some real fireworks.

[Harry Squatter]

The press seem to be on a mission to brainwash everyone into thinking he is the new Ferguson/busby and has all these fantastic ideas on tactics that are light years ahead of everyone else.

It's all about narrative. Couple more shitty results and he'll be Moyes without the devilish charm and good looks.

[Ne Moe Imya]

I love the reaction of the press to his declaration about his own intelligence:

 

[Iceman]

Found this on redblob. Just shows the size of the task Mr Intelligent faces.

 

I think it bears repeating that prior to 2012, our net spend for the preceding 7 seasons was :

2005 : £1 million.
2006 : £4.1 million.
2007 : £26.5 million.
2008 : £ 33.75 million.
2009 : -£64.5 million
2010 : £13.5 million.
2011 : £38 million.

Adds upto : £52.4 million.

No-one expects Madrid/ Chelsea/ PSG/ City level but £52.4 million over 7 seasons ? Wanna guess what Sunderland's net spend for that duration was ? £86 million. Aston Villa ? £108 million. That's how far United were from the upper echelons of spending. Forget the European elite we were outspent by mid-table Premier League clubs.

 

That is rather shocking when you see it laid out like that. Fuck . They really are being bled dry. On the basis of these figures I wouldn't expect Van Giblet to be blowing 100M any time soon.

[Boss]

I said it a while ago, their whole master plan for this season is flawed by one simple thing. They expect to challenge for the title because they don't have Europe, and the reason why they believe it's possible is because we did it last season. 

 

But what we did last season was the exception to the rule, not the rule itself, just because you come 7th doesn't mean you automatically mount a title challenge the next year, otherwise Everton, Aston Villa, Newcastle and the like would be challenging for titles. The whole notion in and of itself is preposterous, and they've built a house of cards on that very scenario like it's preordained.

[Iceman]

But, but, but, we're yernited. We invented the premiership and we are the biggest club in the whole world.

[deiseach]

Heard Phil Neville today saying that 4-4-2 was part of the tradition of the club. Do they seriously believe this kind of shit?

[Iceman]

Yes. 

[Dr Nowt]

Other half's sister told me how her husband turned the volume off during our game today when YNWA started, and said she had a go at him for being so pathetic, saying he's never done that before but seems to really hate us more than ever now, did I know why?

 

I said "Its pretty much the first time in nearly 25 years we've been better than them, and I think he's just finding it difficult to come to terms with the natural order of things returning.  Perhaps buy him a Liverpool scarf for his birthday."  She pissed herself, he didn't come in to say hello.

[fowler9]

seems Benatia may be heading for Bayern, wonder how long until they brief the press that they dropped their interest and decided to pursue other targets and wind up with Jagielka

[Dr Nowt]

Woodward's Wikipedia entry is cracking at present, no doubt will be edited shortly, but currently features the following line:

 

"Woodward if you are reading this page now get us some f#ing players in or else your dead we want vidal,rojo,benatia,cuadrado and hummels sort it out now"

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Woodward

 

Never realised he advised the McCriricks during their takeover.  Lovely stuff, proper snake in the grass then in his current role.  Sure Van Gaal must adore him.

[Dr Nowt]

Somehow this picture seems apt for the name of the thread and the likely Emperor's New Clothes element of United's £200M revamp and title tilt.

 

[Dr Nowt]

And might as well put this in here as well:

 

[Mook]

Liam Gallagher is a wank but that is brilliant.

[ZonkoVille77]

That's fucking brilliant by Liam

[fowler9]

unfortunately its a fake account but class response nonetheless
