Man Utd squad strength

It's a tough ask Iam, but you could just use the search function. You can ask someone to type 'Wimbledon' or Tarannau' if you like.

there does seem to be this inverted snobbery with small/shit team supporters, where they think by virtue of following a bunch of duffers they automatically acquire an intimate knowledge of the game and how it’s played. From my experience these supporters supporters are the most likely to be deluded loons with no critical faculties in regards to actual football.

You're going to actually suggest that most of your football posts are about your team?

Liar.

 

[tarannau]

Where did I say anything approaching that? You should try one of those cottonbud things.

Besides, seeing as Wimbledon were franchised out in 2003, it seems a little pointless to carry on about them so far after the event. Far more fun to poke fun at the 'world's (not so) biggest club,' and their delusional supporters.

he was complaining in an earlier post about school kids choosing football teams to support and calling them glory hunters

Yeah, it makes you seem interesting and well-balanced, and not a bitter sad-act at all.

As long as you're entertaining yourself....

Why not ask for a sticky of your own where you can bang on about it if entertains you that much. Cos it's like a broken record to be honest.

i love how otherwise modern cosmopolitan folk turn into parochial fuckwits when it comes to football.
.

That's a bit rich, seeing as one of the main reasons I enjoy taunting Utd's fans on this board is because of the actions of folks like you; loudmouth plastics who impersonate the worst type of parochial fuckwits despite having no real links or attachment to the club.

It's your pantomime posting style - bad taste bollocks about Hillsborough or endless mentions of scum and the like; as if you're doing your best to overcompensate and pretend to be a proper fanatical fan.

And you wonder why people take the piss.

*cue post about how it's us that're actually dull, and tranny's actually the interesting one*

Oh, there it is.

 

[tarannau]

What are you on about? Where's your written comprehension gone Iam?

Besides, not all Utd's supporters are equal. Some little aggressive grunts bring a little more ribbing onto themselves>

 

[Iam]

It committed suicide, waiting for you to post something that isn't utterly pointless.

Man Utd (and Liverpool) will always have a level of fame and glamour that the rest can only dream about

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Nope. I'm an old Wimbledon fan - played in the same school team as two Dons to be - so I've little loyalty to any particular Prem team as a result of the franchise shenanigans. I've been to watch AFC a good few times, but you don't tend to support a second team as strongly.

Still, I guess I could wind the clock back down and support the high status team that was big when I was a schoolkid I guess, someone like Liverpool ir Utd, despite having no local ties or loyalty. I could then spend a disproportionate amount of time acting like a steretyped wanker on bulletin board, wholeheartedly joining in with unpleasant 'banter' as if I'm the world's greatest fan, despite never really being arsed to mix with real supporters and watch a live game. But then that would be a little foolish, wouldn't it?

I thought you were a gooner...

 

[gabi]

I thought you were a gooner...

I always thought that too... it seems hes a solider of fortune though. He'll support anyone if they're playing United for some reason.

The level of hatred is frankly bizarre. Particularly given the fact he doesn't actually seem to support anyone consistently. The irony of being accused of being a plastic by someone like this for supporting the same club I have since I was 3 years old is astonishing.

except arsenal had it when both Man U and Pool could only dream about it....

I was talking long term

When was that? Don't think anyone else in the UK comes close to Man utd or Liverpool in the fame and glamour stakes, not that it is of huge importance and is the whole thing that gets sand in taranaus vagina

well, obviously enough, in the 30s, when they were - easily - the worlds first superclub. and we've always been there or thereabouts, i'd say our level of fame/standibng in some countries overseas ain't that far short of 'Pool

how do you work that out? i thought that during the 30ties english clubs were still in isolationist mode, they might have possibly been the most famous in england, i would have thought that wolves had some claim to being more famous than arsenal outside of england

yep, sure weren't Man Utd the first English club to play in Europe.

sorry, no 100% wrong. we still had the carried-over advantage of having played the game for so long before exporting it, and arsenal were, at the time, and due to herbert chapman, unquestionably and far and away the UK's biggest club, also quite possibly the world's biggest club (none outside england were old enough to rival them); they were also the polar opposite of isolationist, arranging friendlies with continental rivals and hosting internationals left right and centre.
it was more the national side that was in isolationist mode; gabriele hanot later said that arsenal's pioneering work in terms of friendlies was one of the foundation blocks that led to his devising european club competitions.

competitive possibly, don't think on friendlies....not entirely sure tho I'll agree

i'd imagine there were tonnes of friendlies before that but who the hell counts friendlies?

eh mario, stupid!

 

[revol68]

anyway we can all look forawrd to Arsenal being slowly bought over by a russian bond villian pretty soon, either that or fal further into parochialism.

with everything going on it looks like Man Utd got off relatively easy with the gnome weirdo.

 

[Streathamite]

yes you did, even accouinting for that facial decor
