My first away game was the 11th game of that season. They had won the first 10. We beat Birmingham 0 - 2 with goals from Rush and Walsh. They went to Leicester and lost 3 - 0. Then our coach was in a traffic jam on the M6 and kept pulling up next to manc coaches so we could remind them of the days results. Happy days.

A tenner on Man Utd at 9/1 returns £0.

Nah, it buys fools hope for 90+ min until the monetary return above is confirmed. 

[JovaJova]

BBC have an article up comparing and contrasting mctomminay with debruyne.   Almost like fighting talks defend the indefensible.

That’s an astonishing article. I think Shearer and the Beeb published that as a pisstake on United.

[Raid]

If we beat Bournemouth this will be a great watch. Would be a 14 point gap to City and no need to rely on United for a result.

United win or draw and it would help us on our merry way. City smash them and it would be hilarious still.

Yeah, a win, win situation. If we win. So, it could be a win, win win situation.

[reddebs]

After we beat Abu Dhabi there was a poster on the caf that asked could he go back to hating city again now they couldn't stop us winning the title.

The last few years must have been hell for them. 

Seeing city come from nowhere to challenge their status.

The tramp abandoning them when he no longer had the motivation or energy to fight back.

Seeing their 2 favourite managers to take over from him going to their bitterest rivals then watching them compete for all the top honours every season whilst they gather moss, tumbling down the hillside to oblivion.

Ahhhhh......... that makes me smile [emoji16]

United fans jumping through hoops of twisted rationalizations in the face of impending Saudi takeover

I am amazed at the arrogance and hypocrisy of the Western world. Has any of you really thought that the purchase of Manchester United could also have an impact on Saudi Arabia and change this country for the better and bring it closer to Western values? This deal can be mutually beneficial to both parties!

[davidlpool1982]

I mean, they just need to look across the City to see how that logic has worked out.

[idontknow]

Don't overestimate Utd.

[TepidT2O]

So true.

Since 85/86 was mentioned, nice to see transfermarkt have a table for each matchday from 63/64 till 91/92

We need No Save Dave to turn into Big Save Dave again, and Rashford to hit one of those toe punting thunderbusters for United to have any chance.

Yeah there’s been a few of them.  I’ve seen people suggest Saudi Arabia will stop committing atrocities, violating human rights if they bought United as they wouldn’t want to damage the Manchester United brand.

You know, in the same way Mourinho stopped acting the utter twat and bought into “the United way” when he joined like they claimed he would.

or how Abu Dhabi has become a bastion for human rights this past decade

Do we think Oleh will get the sack if United win tonight?

They know City won't catch us, they are back to supporting their own club now.

Saudi's signed a huge deal with WWE. A little while later this happened:

They are currently on a big sports washing spree. If they wanted change, they wouldn't have to invest billions in sports to improve their image, they could just change their ways.

[idontknow]

We're about to see what Utd are all about.
Not expecting any surprises, don't care though, we don't need surprises.

I did wonder how big the gap between us an Abu Dhabi would have to be before the Mancs started supporting their own club again rather than their hated neighbours.

[RedSamba]

Tactical genius. Deserves a lifetime contract

[Snail]

They know City won't catch us, they are back to supporting their own club now.

There’s no way they’d have won today if they hadn’t accepted that we’ll win the league.

[Butter Keks]

Fair fucks to them today. Showed exactly how to cause City problems by exploiting the space they ALWAYS leave at the back. Felt a bit dirty cheering their goals but fuck it it's all about us.

Also made up to see Gary Neville call out Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson for the horrible little racist scrote he is.

[alonsoisared]

They were good today. Good enough to buy Solksjaer plenty more time while they continue to finish miles behind us.

They're very quick on their high horse over the objects thrown today. I remember Bellamy getting belted with god knows what in a league cup semi at Old Trafford a few years ago. Both clubs as bad as eachother.

People going on about them being owned by Saudis like it's a big deal. They are owned by people from a country that have carried out far worse atrocities in the world.

There is difference. They aren't owned by US government. If an average Saudi Citizen wanted to buy a football club, there may not be any moral quandary. But we are talking about Saudi Government (or a subsidiary) trying to buy them to improve their image abroad.

Absolutely delighted to see Neville call out that c*nt Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. Makes you think - some things are bigger than football and this is one situation.

Fair play to Gary Neville - I age him because he loves the club he was so so successful with but fucking hell, if push comes to shove and we had to be divided against good and evil,I think he’d be on our side.

[kloppismydad]

The best thing from the match yesterday. Takes a level of courage, considering the backlash he will face and the calls for his sacking. But it's the right one.

Gary Neville is absolutely spot on that the racists have been emboldened after the likes of Frottage, Johnson have publicly come out with some racist statements and feel they can also get away with acting like proper c*nts.

Fair play, Gary Neville. You have my respect.

[him_15]

Thank you Ole, I love you so much. Helped taking point off City, Leicester, Chelsea and Spurs while giving us one precious point.

[xbugawugax]

up to 5th. 5 points of 4th

have the corner been turned again?

[toe punt]

A good performance and result against a decent but flawed City side and you’d think they’d won the World Cup. City will probably give them hiding in the return fixture with a fully fit side.
It was weird enjoying their win but City’s scumbag fans and players and their bellend of a manager made it easier.

[Ghost Town]

Posted this in the City thread,but more appropriate here, I think:

Felt sick wanting Utd to win this one; spent half the time reasoning with myself that it was better for us, then going the other way and hoping City would come back from 0-2 down and crush them, and then telling myself not to be so fucking stupid, and so on and on. And now saluting the Nevster as well.

Proper gollum-on-the-way-to-Mordor situation.

Kind of stressful this. Having to act against age-old certainties. By comparison watching our games is a breeze. No stress at all, just anticipation.
