He has an amusing turn of vocabulary, granted, but he's well and truly getting his come uppance of sustained footballing mediocrity. You can tell by his age that as a Southerner or someone who lives at least 150-200 miles away from Old Trafford where he had many other more local clubs to choose from he did the default of jumping on a glorified bandwagon where he thought football was always about getting literally everything he wanted out of it with a constant conveyer belt of trophy after trophy, sometimes 2 or 3 a a time in a season, who thinks that waiting for another should be like waiting 5 mins for the next tube train. He probably grew a skin of complacency where he thought Man United would dominate everything including Man City for his entire life.
Now it's bit him well and truly on the arse and he doesn't know how to deal with it he is whinging like a baby now the tables have turned. There are literally tens of thousands of muppets that did this in the 70s when I was growing up by bandwagon jumping onto Liverpool, and in the 90's and early 2000's with Man Utd, still going to their local Sports Direct purchasing these plastic bandwagon team shirts whilst loudly crying on Internet sites or local pubs literally miles away from Liverpool or Manchester in front of their mates and acquaintances that 'it's not fair that they're not dominating anymore'.

They are infinitely unable of deferring gratification and are finding it hard to cope with the reality of football that all of us have had to deal with from an early age. F*ck em I say, they've had it coming, and serves them right for taking the easy path that they thought would be easy forever.

He does look a lot like Vigo.

I think he resembles one of the predators out of the predator films!

I think most of us from the 80s/90s have a lot of friends or grew up with fans like this, you described it to a T perfectly.

I have some friends who are actually really balanced United fans but then I know a lot who were incredibly arrogant up until about 2014 when it started to fall apart. But ALL of them were glory hunters.

I rememeber one mate continuously emphasising the word 'juggernaut' when getting into debates about who was the biggest club in the world. Even when Barcelona were dominating everything, he was like 'United are a totally different animal'. Just pure arrogance.

Tottenham were just a small club that they could pick players from whenever they wanted. One of my mates still thinks that they can do that despite that last happening well over a decade ago.

So yeah, you are right. They are getting a bit of a comeuppence after all those years of thinking they could just ride off the back of their success and have it easy.

Having said that, I definietly prefer United's arrogance to Arsenal and Liverpool's totally weird and deluded opinions. You can at least debate United fans.

An interesting read on @Gassin's finest best mate Jim Ratcliffe.

Red Cafe has a thread on Antony. lets just say he's not a popular lad.

Antony | 2023/24 Performances

One of the worst cameos I’ve seen. Utterly embarrassing behavior.

"He's a dirty scumbag, He was already shaking his head when Garnacho and Reguilon come on as sub before him, and when he did come on he looked as motivated as the guy, who drew the japanese flag."

Yeah this is a funny read, I liked -

"7 games this season, 0 goals, 0 assists, 2 yellow cards.

Well done Ten Hag, well done..."

 

[tommo84]

Am I wrong to want Utd to win tonight to help buy Ten Hag some more time? You just know their fans - led by spoilt-teenager-in-chief GNev - will do a U-turn and be all aboard the chrome-dome bus if they get through tonight and find themselves in a quarter final at home (because of course) to Port Vale (because of course of course).

That's even better than Fergie blaming the grey shirts...

He's the English Mr Burns, with all the cartoon villain characteristics you'd expect. I'm going to enjoy watching Man Utd become another rundown INEOS vehicle... a bit like that Grenadier thing he's got us sponsoring.

There is no way the Glaziers will give him one iota of control. They’re only selling a stake to him to take money out of the club while keeping overall control. Nothing will change there with this. Nothing we have seen of the glaziers tells us they will relinquish anything to him. If anything all that will happen is amusing infighting being leaked to the papers.

Despite his claims of actually being a Man Utd fan (he's from a council estate you know!) all he really cares about is brand recognition and billionaire willy waving. If he doesn't get to plaster Ineos all over Old Trafford and the team then he wouldn't do it.

 

[tommo84]

5 defeats in 10 home games in all competitions this season is bad enough. But when you look at the wins and consider that the win vs a much changed Palace team in the EFL Cup was the only win which was remotely comfortable, it somehow looks even worse for Utd. They are broken.
