Quoted from Rick12
Your a real fan my friend. Keeping it real and supporting your local team or the team who you have some connection to eg family.They are just glory hunters .On another note whats make me smile is as in anything in life there needs to be a top for there to be a bottom and unfortunately  we have fallen from grace.However still makes me proud that we had some taste of former glorys eg after the war we were a 1st division team which is what the prem would be now



I honestly can't understand why anyone would support a team miles away that they have absolutely no connection with at all. For me, supporting a football team is part of who you are and where you're from, not just because a team are winning more often than not.

I can understand young kids supporting another team because of the influence of older family/friends. I used to support Leeds United in the 70's when I was growing up because a rep at the place where my Mum worked was from Leeds and used to bring me a match programme from each game, but as soon as I was 7 or 8 and realised that I had a perfectly good team on my own doorstep and that Leeds were dirty Yorkies then that was it and has been for all my life.

Shame there aren't more people with that mindset

one of the worst games ive ever seen....shocking quality from both sides....United were embarrassing




FFS you ever thought watching football (any football) just isn't for you.

Maybe bird watching would be more suitable.

Van Gaal's downfall will be his arrogance and this philosophy he has in his head that he's the greatest...

He has spent an obscene amount of cash and the return won't be anywhere near. They are miles away from Chelsea and City and miles away from the teams they pitch themselves against in the Europea cup.

They've been milked by the likes of Falcao but they can't see it.

Their fans are even worse. Some girl private said he feared for THEIR champions league spot. In case he hadn't noticed, you have to play all season to earn one. It isn't your right...flipping dicks

Quoted from DocTower
Isn't  it the state of top flight football in general  ?  We get the odd exciting match that is blown out of all proportion  by second rate pundits , " If that ball was put there and he'd  hit it right it would have been a goal  "   Yeh !  No st#@ Sherlock .  Hyped  up by Sky to something that it's  not anymore ..

I don't  bother watching match of the day because of this , and a lack of interest in the premiership now . There was a time when I knew who the managers were for the teams , and could name players for the teams . Not any more  , most are unpronounceable  from counties we have to look up to see where they have come from . All about looks , tans , hairstyles  , big cars fast women , they just aren't  in the real world .

I can see there being a European  league soon . Spain have only two teams in reality Barca and Real , France have PSG  and Lynn , Germany Bayen  and Dortmand  , we have Chelsea and City . These teams , if you agree are far above any other for money , there is no others that can compete for titles cups and promotions . They buy who they want , at stupid prices , market forces or just conned by agents .

Last night highlighted how poor football has become for me .


In fairness Lyon spend very very little in comparison to other top clubs (as they're skint), and Dortmund have usually been shrewd spenders as well until this season.

Cambridge did well. Reminded me a bit of Colchester v Leeds in 1971 when Leeds were THE team to beat. Annoyed me at the time because I was born in Leeds and sadly still have an affection for the days of Wilbur Cush and John Charles through to Billy Bremner and Sniffer Clarke. At school I had to hide this support because everyone was a Town fan, as was I from the age of 9.

I thought Camrbidge were a bit mercenary in that they almost wanted a draw more than the win because of the money. The player at the end who was interviewed said a draw was the dream result, hardly the spirit of football! Man Utd will inevitably win the replay so the fact they even drew here is no more thn a minor blip, it's just another opportunity to fleece tens of thousands of suckers who want to experience the OT atmosphere,

Agreed, second half Cambridge showed little ambition.
