Christmas Tree 3997 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 'United' being ignored is only a part of it, the way every other club has been downgraded in favour of a chosen few stands. Fortunately or unfortunately it's business and a world wide business at that so obviously all media is going to focus on the "cream clubs". We had more than our share of the spotlight when we were the entertainers. To the victor the spoils (or something). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well..we get more in every other week than all but manu and arsenal, and manu and Liverpool are the only two with a truly large global pull. I think they concentrate on the teams who win trophies tbh. Or are popular with the media eg spurs. The rest of the clubs are there just to make up the numbers as far as the media are concerned.

ChezGiven 0 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 No idea how that happened. Here you are..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSSqQXbzCOo Might change my username to 'Jim Smith's sweaty top lip'. I was just thinking he sounded a bit pissed in the interview and then Greavsie gets the comedy bottle of brown ale out. Used to love Saint & Greavsie.

His top lip was often sweaty too. I'd imagine his palm was well greased too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 4-0 defeat. They were very good against the blue dippers, it was a freak score based on the game. Combined with the fact we have a defensive manager, and often cowardly players, I'm not looking forward to this one. Wide of the mark, as Alan Oliver used to say. One of my proudest days as a toon fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 A little bit of the pride has been taken away by the fact that this is the worst manure team since the premier league began. There's quite a few of their players wouldn't get into our starting eleven now and there are very few times in my lifetime that anyone could have ever said that. That said I'm still absolutely delighted with it now and it will live long in the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 4833 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I wouldn't have any of their midfielders (maybe Valencia) over ours from their squad on Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19784 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 the way to feel better about it is this is still the bulk of the side that won the title last year. makes that achievement all the more remarkable really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 699 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I wouldn't have any of their midfielders (maybe Valencia) over ours from their squad on Sat. And that's where the game was won. No doubt van Persie and Rooney are better strikers than any we've got, but past that you're starting to wonder. Is De Gea any better than Krul? It's a wash for me. Cleverley, Nani, Phil Jones, Anderson, Zaha...embarrassingly crap. I'd be honestly embarrassed to see Anderson turn out in black and white - how do you imagine the longtime Man U fans feel?

acrossthepond 699 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 De Gea is outstanding and is definitely better than Krul. If you're talking about his Atletico days, sure. His form at Man U hasn't been anything to write home about. Maybe he just didn't seem as impressive because his defence wasn't getting constantly breached the way Krul's does sometimes.

The Fish 8978 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Calling them United doesn't bother me half as much as the focus on "how Man Utd lost the game", rather than "How Newcastle won the game". Was listening to 606 (I know) and Robbie Savage was frustrated when a Geordie said that he hoped that Newcastle would get the praise they deserved, RS stated he'd given us loads of praise at the beginning of the program and that Shearer would be going over the game in detail on Match of the Day. So I tuned in expecting to see praise for the way Newcastle controlled the midfield with greater possession, more passes (comfortably more than half coming in the final third) and more shots. Maybe how they defended well, how the forwards made it difficult for the home side to settle into any kind of rhythm. Instead we got how the Man U players aren't that good, how most of them "aren't United players", how Moyes needs time etc. That isn't giving Newcastle United praise, it's giving Manchester United criticism.
