That they have to face this reality along with the knowledge of how shit that United are makes it sweeter.

We had it for years and them some.

Fergie this fergie that.. this is what used to happen and that’s why I hate them..

It’s cute as to how every season , they start with some semblance of positivity only to see the positivity die a brutal death 2-3 games in.

I was naive too once. Thought that we could finish in the top 8 with Hodgson. But this is entirely different.

We didnt spend fuck loads of money under Hodgson to be in the relegation battle. These guys routinely spend upwards of 200m a transfer window for the last 10+ years and still remain shit.

I wouldn’t wish that pantomime on poor old Gareth. He’d be a fool to go there.

Give him or any down on his luck coach a cool 20m dollar contract. Don’t see many fools there.

Oh, sure. Money-wise it’s a no-brainer, but in every other respect… less so.

Funny thing about that is I had forgotten how long it took Carroll to get back into his goal. In my head the shot from Mendes immediately followed Carroll’s clearance. I had forgotten there was a whole additional sequence between with Carroll just ambling around while it unfolded

Bro, I remember being smug as hell lording it over my Arsenal supporting team mates that our signing of Clough was going to be the one that ended our ā€œdroughtā€

12 year old Limie was a moron, but that is the life of a football fan.

Not if southgate thinks that this is his major earning opportunity. Let’s face it , he’s rather shit as a coach even if it means being better than Amorim.

But that’s what I said. Money wise, why not? Of course it would be a major earner, but in all other respects it’s likely to damage his reputation even more than at present (although I will defend him as the guy who took England further than most), plus he’d end up taking more crap from all quarters.

Perhaps he may wonder how many more thrown beer cups and how much more disparagement is worth that 20m or whatever. I’m not sure he needs that crap

At his age, take Ā£20m…and fuck reputation.
Not like he’s iundated with offers at the moment?!

My Man Utd friend has been What’s Apping me to say they are getting Glasner. Don’t know where he’s getting that from, but that’s what he reckons.

On a related note, if they get Glasner sooner rather than later, the fella is a snake. He wrecked Guehi’s move to Liverpool and stopped Palace from collecting 35M quid. He owes them some loyalty, though obviously that is in short supply in football and Glasner will do whatever he thinks is right for his career.

It’s why I thought Parrish made a mistake. Can’t have the tail wagging the dog. Soon enough Parrish won’t have the manager, the player, or the money. 0/3 when he could have at least had 1/3, maybe 2/3 for a short while.

Glasner will stay at Palace.

He may want the Old Toilet gig eventually, but after the Guehi fiasco he will wait until mid-2027 when it will become available again.

He might be looking to take Guehi to Old Toilet with him

Based on what we’ve heard of their relationship there are few things that would make Guehi want to sign for Liverpool even more than he already does than Glasner becoming Utd boss

Harald Fairhair was a Manchester United fan until he conquered all of Norway, at which point he became a fan of Liverpool. Or so the saga says.

ā€œAnd methinks,ā€ said she, ā€œit is wonderful that no king here in Norway will make the whole country subject to him, in the same way as Gorm the Old did in Denmark, or Eirik at Upsala.ā€ The messengers thought her answer was dreadfully haughty, and asked what she thought would come of such an answer; for Harald was so mighty a man, that his invitation was good enough for her. But although she had replied to their errand differently from what they wished, they saw no chance, on this occasion, of taking her with them against her will; so they prepared to return. When they were ready, and the people followed them out, Gyda said to the messengers, ā€œNow tell to King Harald these my words. I will only agree to be his lawful wife upon the condition that he shall first, for my sake, subject to himself the whole of Norway and become a true fan of the Anglo-Saxon football club Liverpool, so that he may rule over that kingdom as freely and fully as King Eirik over the Swedish dominions, or King Gorm over Denmark; for only then, methinks, can he be called the king of a people and a fan of good football.ā€

Now came the messengers back to King Harald, bringing him the words of the girl, and saying she was so bold and foolish that she well deserved that the king should send a greater troop of people for her, and inflict on her some disgrace. Then answered the king, ā€œThis girl has not spoken or done so much amiss that she should be punished, but rather she should be thanked for her words. She has reminded me,ā€ said he, ā€œof something which it appears to me wonderful I did not think of before, as I was a fan of the very wrong football club. And now,ā€ added he, ā€œI make the solemn vow, and take God to witness, who made me and rules over all things, that never shall I clip or comb my hair until I have subdued the whole of Norway, with scat (1), and duties, and domains; or if not, have died in the attempt. Thus having subdued all of Norway, I shall embrace Liverpool with heart, body and mind and only ever sacrifice to the gods to grant this club victory. That having done, Manchester United will forever be dead to meā€ Guthorm thanked the king warmly for his vow; adding, that it was royal work to fulfil royal words.
