14 years since Mourinhio lost 3 in a row

Wait, so this is actually worse than last season when he got sacked because all the players hated him and results were really, really shiite?

Ow, that'd be a worry.

Maybe they need to blast literally hundreds of millions of quid on new players?

Oh, wait, they tried that. (A few times by now).

The same fans who cries whenever someone posts in their match thread posts absolute garbage here. Lack of self awareness is so obvious.

Unfortunately it is a fact of life in here. It is mostly utd/Liverpool back and forth but with some involvement from others. It generally annoys me too but mostly I try to ignore it when it annoys me, and not join in too much when I'm enjoying it (like today).

Largely harmless overall, but given emotions are running high at times when it is at it's worst it can cause problems.

Lack of self awareness alright.

Will Mourinhio have the balls to guts the underperforming big players for Leicester?

Needs to change something

I must use these match threads more often, they brighten up ****ty days Gives you a real school yard nostalgia feeling, all the little fellas showing off their best "bantz"

Enjoyed it, which is more then I can say for the game itself obviously.

Coming from guy with a school yard "bantz" signature targeting a Boards.ie admin. Good one Strings.

Most match threads are the same guys, rival fans are going to gloat on a soccer forum.

You don't read so good I feel?

Allow me to clarify.

1. I found a lot of the jibes in this thread amusing, genuinely. Some are stupid of course, but some are actually funny and what else are you going to do but laugh? Especially when the team is playing ****e.

2. My sig is not anything toward an admin, it is a warning from an admin, who changed what I had in my sig.

3. Sorry you misunderstood, hope that helped?

I usually avoid match day threads not only United's but all the match day threads. Just that irony is missed out on many it's laughable.

I agree it's harmless, rather contained in various match threads than creeping it's way to superthreads.

That I don't mind, it's things like this

And that's what happens when you try to park the bus away at Watford. Well done Mourinho

A lot of things were wrong in this game but United in no way parked the bus. Shows that he didn't even watch and is just looking for the rise.

The worst one for it actually admitted that he didn't watch it earlier and yet is doing his usual thanking everything and odious comments shtick.

I actually don't mind the jesting comments but it's the people like this that drive me up the wall. Keeping up to date on scores without watching just to wind people up in here.

All you should really do though is laugh at those people, for me they lighten the mood and take me out of the gloom of the match itself but if you are not able to stop that getting under your skin then match threads are probably best left alone?

What always makes me wonder is when I see these kinds of people talking about taking the wife and kids to do things and the likes. I always presume they're just young lads, teenagers and the likes, trying to be cool. Then I see that they're actually adults with real lives but on the Internet they turn into mouth breathers engaged in some kind of tit for tat war between two teams a few hundred miles from where they live. It's actually laughably cringey.

It's all just a laugh really. The best part at being on the United side over Liverpool is that there is always more times to laugh at them throughout the season

In fairness losing to Watford is going happen a lot to the top teams. For the last 3 years or so the league is getting far more competitive so these results are going happen.

jive

Rival fans engaging in winding up other fans after a comprehensive defeat to Watford? What next!!!

Long and short of it is United haven't been at a United level since Ferguson left. Just because they bought Pogba and Ibra doesn't mean they can just turn it on again.

This. The middle / lower class clubs have bridged the gap somewhat to the better clubs.

Anybody commenting on the petty digs from opposition supporters are obviously bothered by them. I mean you wouldn't even mention them if the comments didn't get under your skin to some degree. And I would say being bothered by comments random people you don't know make about "your" team on an internet forum is more pitiful than the comments themselves.

Your reading way too much into it man, it's only a few comments of a forum. You make it sound like it's some kind of real horrible hatred.

It's clearly not some kind of real hatred, I literally say as much in my post. It's tit for tat trolling from grown ups who should know better by now.

Your probably right but it's gone to the stage where even genuine negative comments are taken up as trolling. A lot of fans do not take negativity well unless it's from fellow fans

As I said it's grand when someone has watched the match and is commenting as such, I don't mind anyone saying something then but to not watch the match and your only contribution is shíte talk then it eventually gets a rise and someone who is actually a useful member of the forum gets a ban because of these guys.

I believe the biggest tit in this thread was a City fan though

And I'd argue that commenting on those that are commenting on those who make petty digs on internet forums is even more pitiful. Where are we going with this again?

I'd just like to be able to discuss the match without the decent posts being drowned out by "Ur team parkd de bus" "no ur team duz and ur manager is a smelly" nonsense. It's incredibly cringe worthy.

It's hardly a war, sweet jaysus.

Rival fans will always enjoy their rivals losing. Mourinhio is disliked across the board so watching him losing is funny for rival fans too.

Only for match threads superthreads would be unreadable

What's Giggs up to these day's he might be in line to a quick return to utd.

It's important that we don't allow all the posts about people winding people up etc overshadow the result IMO.
