Think i also read that ManU were only 32 points above relegated Cardiff ( i haven't checked if that's correct or not). The signs are that ManU is continuing to decline season-on-season after Rednose retirement 6 or 7 seasons ago. Realistically can only see another few seasons of ManU trying to keep up with the big boys. Yes, building a team takes time and the manager has to be strong enough to clear out ANY "troublemakers" very early on in the piece otherwise the contamination spreads and authority is undermined. I saw a video clip of Juergen Klopp when he was talking about his team and how he expected 100% from everyone and that is what he had drilled into them and they gave it without question, and he also drilled into them that their places were never secure and that they could easily be replaced with enough players coming through who desperately wanted their positions...........or words to that effect. I suspect that both he and Guardiola had similar outlooks and it shows in exactly where they are in the league and in the performances they have put in this year, some of which have been absolutely outstanding. Sadly I really don't see OGS in the same mould as those guys, so the building of a new United will take time and IMO they will need a new manager as well.

That's not the point the point is that hours after you won the league the headline story over the media was Pogba getting abused by United fans and not about city, Face it United are a huge monster that the media lives off. We are way off you lot on the footballing side though, I thought we both took it well mate,By the way We was crying as we had planned to take you to the sexy girls dancing around the pool at a certain resort we used to go too but we was embarrassed to take you when you turned up in your lucky City top ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your'e deluded mate. The Sports headlines don't just cover one story. Pogba got some coverage but so did Liverpool and the rest of the Prem teams. Sorry to disappoint but the biggest story being covered on the main pages of the sports was about the title run-in between City and Liverpool. You've probably got your settings to show only United stories. Bladdy luddite ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Wolves fans will be cheering on City against Watford tomorrow in the FA Cup final and i suspect for a 2nd weekend in a row you ManU fans will be looking for a City win won't you. If City win at Wembley, having already qualified for the Champions League, then Wolves - as the team who finished seventh in the Premier League - will qualify for Europe for the first time since 1980. They would go into the second qualifying round of the Europa League. That would see United, who finished sixth in the Premier League, qualify for the Europa League group stages.

Yeah Pep knows the real score and says it straight here: "If Liverpool had won the Premier League it would have been an incredible achievement but when Manchester City win it's ‘OK’.". Meaning? The media love ManU and Liverpool and will push nonsense about those clubs over the top news of the day about other clubs. Why? Because in old speak those two clubs sell newspapers.

That needs to be broken up to allow the manager to manage. THEN it will be about the quality of the players coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you lose today, It would be a real kick in the balls for our owners taking things for granted and arranging tour games before the season is over. Wanting you to win just so we avoid starting the season early no way, I hope we have to and end up calling the useless bunch of Instagram stars in early.
