Xiled Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Credit to Rashford, at least two decent runs when he could have taken a dive. Good to see a player looking to score rather than con a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job we played the kids against Watford, the excitement of 2 cup runs and promotion would have killed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so utterly cringeworthy. I often forget the thing about armchair fans that is most irritating besides the obvious, is their desire to be SEEN to be Man Utd fans, with absolutely no understanding of football and no sense of the shame they should have for situations like this - just pure unbridled "hey everyone I'm an incredibly successful Man Utd fan". If this result stays the same it doesn't half take some shine off December. I bet he`s drinking Dark Fruits as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Even when we're not playing we get good media coverage! I would've liked to have seen Jose's face when he bumped into LJ in the corridor "not you again" LJ's a very good ambassador, they even mentioned a nice bottle of wine!

In everything else you are (hopefully) taught by your parents that you earn success. I can't figure out the armchair pub fan at all. Would love to know the stats on >UK< entrepreneurs buying into clubs they have no affinity with. Apart from lots of Chinese and other Asian money, to my knowledge we have a self made Huddersfield businessman who owns Huddersfield and a self made Bristol businessman who owns us. Anyone else? Both of them have no insecurity with their self esteem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is these armchair supporters will never know what it's like to be down on your arse as you are battling relegation in the lower leagues. Those bad times make the good times so much sweeter. For example, there was a Man U fan on the radio the other day moaning at how terrible last season was. Ffs, they won the UEFA cup. Can you imagine the scenes if City won that? It would last most of us a lifetime if we did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
