Great seats last night courtesy of the main man @RedArmy thanks again bud

 

One of the better home games I could have gone to this season for sure. Not a bad performance. Ronaldo, Matic and Elanga the best players for me.

 

Quite a strange atmosphere at the end. I think the win took the edge off any protest and it was a mixture of applause and boos

 

You were in the Norwegian stand?

Honest answer..... I did see some leakage.

Top deck of the SAF stand, apparently where all the Utd fans tour groups from Norway sit/sat. Not so many of them on a Monday night.

Yeah we were tier 3 of the SAF Stand.

After they noticed the stands were wet but it wasn't raining, it turns out it wasn't the roof leaking but the fans crying watching United play

I'm glad you are happily retired and aren't relying on a career in comedy.

That wasn't comedy, I was serious. I've never seen all my cousins as miserable watching United as they are now

Envy your ability to get there. Last time I saw MU live was in the 60's after we won a premiership and one reward was tickets to a game. We were mostly 21 year old lads and won over by the skill and style of the MU players and were followers ever since, through good and tough times.

 

Agree with you "men of the match" but thought Mata also showed some nice touches .Pity he and Matic can't turn back the clock 10 years.

 

Next Wednesday OT will host the Youth Cup MU v Nottingham Forest .Over 50,000 tickets sold all ready, a record. All proceeds going to the MU Foundation. This age group play without any fear and should be a cracker.

 

Looking forward to new players & coaching staff coming in and the last season has been a huge kick up the backside which was well overdue. Still the club with the worlds biggest fan base and attendances. Old team mate, now living back in Holland never misses an Ajax home game, told me Erik ten Hag Teg is a footballing genius in improving players and this is the "time" in his career to move on to a new challenge.

A tragedy for your cousins, our condolences. Maybe we could set up a "Go Fund Me" group to help them. Of course we would include you. Having MU living in your head 24/7 must be very distressing.

I think you have me mistaken for someone who cares about United. Go on the City thread and see all the muck your buddies are throwing around in glee about last nights result. In your head am I not allowed to throw some muck back?

Last home game. As usual, don't let reality get in the way of your delusional world

Reckon you could get 50k for a Youth Cup game? (Even if tickets are a quid)

Wondered if you'd get around to mentioning that (rather important) detail????

Here's some interesting food for thought!  Look at that, 1.3B on shiiiite, and you've won <deleted> all.

That's not strictly true though is it. We've won the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa. 3 trophies you used to call the treble!!

You might not like this but just seen an article that shows Liverpool tickets are in more demand than United. Probably cos you've won nothing for ages. Tick, tock

 

WANTED 

Liverpool boast the most in demand tickets in Europe while Cristiano Ronaldo helps keep Man United in contention ahead of Man City and Chelsea but Lionel Messi effect could be on the wane

Just to clarify - All proceeds from this match will go to the Manchester United foundation - Which works with disadvantaged kids in the Greater Manchester area.

I remember being at Wembley stadium for the 83 FA Cup final reply against Brighton & smashing them 4-0. Never in my wildest dreams did i ever think i would see Brighton smash us by the same scoreline.

 

Totally embarrassed & speechless after that performance.

Sell the lot of them.

Don't worry. You've still got those fading memories to hold on tightly to. Tick, tock

[RickG16]

From the highlights Varane looked well off the pace.  Erik's first job will be to get a grip of this defence. 

 

Is Tunezabe injured? I've heard Koulibaly is on the market for about 30M. Surely we will buy at least one CB in the summer. We need a rock to build the defence around, and that doesn't look like Maguire or Varane

[RedArmy]

Congratulations to this season's FA Youth Cup Winners - Manchester United - Beating Forest 3-1 in front of a whopping 67,000 crowd.

You sound like a kid with this tick, tock ?

 

Do you still play tag when Mum lets you out to play - I'd say kiss catch, but I have my doubts ... ?

You were obviously never on the other end of the taunts when United used to give it to us. Obviously unable to take it when it's given back. Typical RAG. I rest my case.

They had better get used to it. Don't see them usurping you guys for a loooooong time. Mind you, they are bringing in Schteve McLaren so you never know????

Honestly Wilai, they're unreal. Even my cousins who spent their whole youth taking the mickey out of City (and me) can't take some of the flack I'm giving them. I feel sorry for them in a way cos all they have left now is how many fans go to OT. It's quite embarrassing really ????

We won the Europa in 2015 if my memory serves me correctly so still a long way to go before 30 odd years.
