Amazing success story for a club started by railway workers back in the 1870ās to get to that level of turnover, Iām welling up here

On the 10th anniversary of the death of George Best, probably the most exciting attacking player Man U has ever produced, that performance against PSV Eindhoven last night was not exactly in keeping with the attacking traditions one would expect from a Man U team.
Another clean sheet though, mate. Stabilising and building a solid defensive platform with the first Ā£300m, but Iām sure Big Luis will look to introduce a better attacking mix with the next few hundred million of player acquisitions.

Five 0-0 draws in the last nine games for Van Gaalās boring boring Man United. In Sir Alexās last 116 games, Man U werenāt involved in one single 0-0 draw.
Any idea how the 15/16 defensive record measures up to previous sides? Surely has to be up there as our best in the Premier League era. From the early season shambles, LVG has to be commended for turning things around.
The fink tank had an interesting article yesterday suggesting that in truth, he is little better than moyes. They got booed off yesterday. I had a few last night with a lad who was at it. He reckoned West Ham could have been three up at half time.
He was over from East county galway for the game. I ventured how nice it was that he got to see a true characteristic manyoo performance, having travelled all that way. The United way.

Itās symptomatic of the sport as a whole. United is a convenient scapegoat. Youād want your head checked forkin out a few hundred euro to go watch a match over beyond.

I couldnāt agree more.
Not at all. Thereās plenty of great football being served up all over the world.
Iād love to know how much money United have spent to play like this, if that figure was available anywhere.

It saddens me to say it but United are absolutely terrible to watch, I grew up watching this team play attacking football, hipster pundits like that cunt Ken Earley will say they have 80% possession and LVG is doing a great job before Guardiola takes the reigns. Fuck off.
If youāre a young lad, what players on that team are you going to emulate playing a bit of ball with your matesā¦this was a club that had Cantona, Scholes, Keane, Van Nistlerooy, Giggs, Ronaldo, Rooney at his peakā¦
They have no one now bar De Gea who is top class.
It has been very poor in recent weeks. PSV, Leicester and yesterday were all dour, turgid displays. Zero flair or excitement. Playing for a 1-0 in every game.
Donāt have much confidence of getting a win in Germany on Tuesday.

We have every chance of exiting the champions league on Tuesday, Wolfsburg arenāt world beaters but I donāt see us scoring, Just canāt see goals in that team the way they are setup to play.

Mods, please change the title of this thread to āManchester United Nil est. 1902, Season 2015/16ā.

One night, I went to a bar, I was with a woman. We talked all night. We laughed, we flirted, I paid for several drinks of hers.
At around 5am, a guy came in, grabbed her by the arm and took her to the bathroom. He made love to her and she left with him. That doesnāt matter, because I had most of the possession on that night.
