The Football.....

It's been brought to my attention that this is a photo taken at Old Trafford last night. When you ask some people who claim they are Manchester United fans why they've never been to watch them, they tell you with a straight face that they couldn't get tickets.

To be fair, the price of them is a bit tasty. Maybe they meant that the payday loan required hadn't come through yet.

Well there is that. And the cost of rail travel.

7-0 to Man City. Half hour left. Could they get to double figures?

 

[Poacher]

Continuing calamitous decline of Lincoln City following the departure of the Cowley brothers to Huddersfield.
Currently losing 6-0 at home to Oxford United.
Reminiscent of when Graham Taylor was poached by Watford.

I thought (hoped) Watford might get a draw. 8 nil finish

Someone sent me a clip of Sheffield fans chanting to Everton fans "your city is red, your city is red. Just like Sheffield your city is red".
It amazes me how quickly the whole mass of 10-30,000 fans can pick up a new chant.

I often wonder if there is a midweek choir practice and nobody is keeping me in the loop.

@Slick . I think I have managed to copy that link. Worth watching (unless you're an Everton fan of course )

Excellent, could be a whole other thread for the wittiest chants, although a number would need a bit of moderation.

I cannot believe West Ham have turned Manchester United over.West Ham were on telly at the start of the season,they were garbage.So i wonder maybe Moyes,maybe Jose maybe Lukaku were not the problem.Maybe some of the players should take a long look in a mirror and ask am i good enough to play in this shirt.Might be a good thing to concentrate on playing good footie rather than commercial undertakings.

West Ham have been outplayed once this season, in the first game against Man City which was hardly a shock. They have been pretty decent since and go into matches against all but the top two with a good shout. The Man U players are good enough to "Wear the shirt", simply because United have no divine right to be one of the top clubs any more than Exeter City do.

But why/how has it gone so wrong for them.
As a Lpool fan it doesn't upset me but its hard to put your finger on just when it started to go wrong.
AND........how will they put it right?

It hasn't gone wrong at all, unless you believe that their name alone means they should be permanent title contenders. They are three points off a Champion's League place, something at least eighty other clubs would die for.

MP is the perfect match for West Ham, seen it all and puts out teams to work and attack, they should give him a till- retirement deal
