That said.. how can supporting United even be fun? Your expected to win everything.

Any United fan care to explain, this isn't a dig, as I'm generally curious as too what joy it brings.

Madrid near enough playing out a draw with Valenicia, how big was their lead before it evaporated to what looks like 4 points?

Born into it when we were in real trouble and spent the first half of my life not even competing for everything nevermind winning. Knowing the lows I can fully enjoy the highs.

Hmm more blind linesmen, think the respect campaign is always going to run in to trouble if such decisions keep happening.

 

[Embattle]

Mario really is a bit of an idiot with his boot up all the time.

Ahh that makes sense for you, I can't see why people enjoy the consistent winning though when you are expected too, maybe the CL holds the fun for them though?

Greed League sucks.

I think I'd get bored being a Man U fan, expecting to win every match and pretty much doing so, don't see the excitement in that at all.

Heh not the only one to think this today.

Ferguson's best signing ever!

On the whole winners bandwagon subject, Dubai locals are a hilarious lot. Over past 10 years here the locals and Leb's all supported Man Utd and Real Madrid. Now all you see is Barcelona. Even saw a Ferrari over the weekend with a huge Barca emblem on the bonnet. pictures of it found via Google below.

Sacrilege defacing a beautiful machine like that!

It reminds me of a banner that was up at the Arsenal, City game yesterday, which read "You can't buy class"

 

[Embattle]

Although they do seem to buy everything else.

 

[soze]

I don't get it?

 

[soze]

Unless you mean Shity, I which case I will go back to bed for an hour or two.

 

[Turamber]

Turamber will have to say something positive about his team at this rate...

Watched the game from here in Turkey. Liverpool were all at sea whenever we attacked, yet McLeish had us defending with 11 men behind the ball as soon as we went 1 up. Great result considering the number of kids we had playing but, once again, the managers lack of ambition and inept tactics are there to see.

Edit: Watched the City game last night too, Mancini will be gone at the end of the season. Has been utterly useless at the business end of the season.

City & Arabs.

Bet he wished he'd stayed on his feet now with Barca breathing down their necks

Shitty fan throws a bottle of beer at Sceszney, so he drinks it

My first visit to OT was with my cousin, Boxing Day 1974 (I was eight) against West Brom. We won. But we were also in the second division. So apart from the odd FA Cup, the next fifteen years wasn't exactly overflowing with silverware. Fortunately for me I was living back in Manchester when it all started to click again. So yes, its fun watching United win stuff. Can you imagine how satisfying it was to be a United fan when we equalled Liverpool's title count? Then beat it?

I just wish we could do the business in Europe more regularly. Liverpool still have two titles on us.

Well, it is London.

Mexican logic.

Either that or he has balls of steel.

From the place that gave the world Boddingtons! Piss with cream in it!

Bods used to be great 25 years ago, fucking awful stuff now. Not been right since they moved from the old brewery at Strangeways. Looking at wiki it seems they now pasturise it, oh and Whitbread brew it with hop extracts instead of full hops now, cunts.

 

[Bahumat]

Bet spurs are going to be shattered playing today!

 

[Vladamir]

And Chelsea don't forget
