I think we are göhring in circles.

Fuck me, is this shit still going? It's needs to stop Reich now, tbh.

[Monkeys Fist 39140]

This is putsching the boundaries of taste tbh.

Just to quote Hitler: "Worst thread Eva!”

Edwin Van der Sar is in intensive care in Croatia following an aneurysm whilst on holiday. 

 

Fuck me, let’s hope he’s ok.

I lost my “first love” to an aneurysm- totally out of the blue, fit as a lop, then bang…gone at 40yrs old
Left three young daughters without a mother, her partner was utterly blindsided. 
 

Fucking terrifying things

That’s what happened to my brother, 30 years old getting ready for a night out and collapsed. Massive brain damage.

 

One of the most terrifying things in the world imo

On the plus side, I'm hearing their game up here has been downgraded to a B game so it's not all bad.

Ok, am either having an episode, this is very poorly written so I don’t really understand it or it’s bullshit. It appears to be saying there was at least one player at Man Utd in Nov 86 when Ferguson took over that was at Man Utd when they were relegated in 1974?.. 

 

 

Here’s the squad, the oldest is Kevin Moran at 31 who signed in 1978….

Does it then suggest or imply that this player must’ve been signed by Busby? 🤔

I would've had a stab at Lou Macari but I had look and he left two years before Ferguson joined.

[Gemmill 35346]

They weren't a Ferguson player until he managed them anyway, so the entire construct is bollocks. Not to mention the fact it appears they've got their dates wrong.

[ewerk 26770]

The answer is Arthur Albiston btw.

Yep, he joined in 1974 and left in 1988 so definitely links the two eras but Tommy Docherty signed him. The last time Busby was manager appears to be at the end of 70/71… unless they’re including his time as director/president?..

I think it’s just really poorly written by the “senior football correspondent” Richard Jolly. And not edited before it went live. Fuckin shoddy as fuck.

Whilst it was a freakish score, if you’d told anyone at the time who didn’t see the game, but told them the score, I bet you’d get 1 or 2 people out if 50 who’d have thought Brazil were the winners. That Brazil team was fucking shite. Which is in no way meant as a dig at that German side. I was genuinely pleased for them

They should be pleased. Because it being against us means they can watch it on Sky 👍🏻

That 18-minute period in the first half is funnier than any TV comedy I've seen. Even the Mindy Project.

 But not as funny as the first 21 minutes against Spurs at St James*
