Do we really want to be part of this?

[Hartley Hare]

If we go up we get a chance to go to the new Spurs stadium.

My god, that looks superb.

[Blade56]

But if they give McCabe 120m quid when we go up , Im prepared to suffer the consequences

Corrected it for you btl, doesn't read quite so positive when you change one word does it?

 

[grafikhaus]

Even if we finish with nil points after 38 games you won't hear a "Wilder out" from me, unfortunately there will be those calling for that if we're not tucked in just outside the Champions League spots after 8 games.

Me neither, but plenty of our 'new' fans would. Then we'd have 2 minutes at the arse-end of MotD and patronising insults from the likes of Garth Crooks, Lineker and Murphy. Just like 2006-07.

As long as we keep our principles, of course. Don't want to be going to the Visit Saudia Arabia Stadium every other week.

'Principles'? 'Premier League'? You'd find as many principles in the House of Commons. (I'm lying there). Arsenal were happy to pocket £30m to have 'Visit Rwanda' sponsorship.

Does anyone reckon wolves and leicester fans are complaining there more likely to finish in Europe now than get relegated for the next 10 years i reckon

Wolves and Leicester have financial backing that United can only dream of. That's why they're where they are - none of this 'modern fairytale' bullshit.

And if as a Premier League club one of the giants of the game like Bournemouth, Watford or Crystal Palace come for our players we'll be sure to undersell so that our Bladey traditions that have served us so well for the last four generations can remain

These 'giants of the game' are just making up the numbers until they're replaced by clubs with even more riches than them. As Bournemouth will find when Brooks/King/Wilson go this summer.

What’s this constant obsession with slagging off the premier league

It’s the most successful sports league in the world brings god knows how much money to the economy etc

Would everyone rather be playing in the Sunday leagues

Bit of a stretch there! Football - and our Third World infrastructure - is squeezing the fans until the pips squeak.

Manchester City struggling to shift tickets for FA Cup semi-final and have had to send 2,000 back

• Manchester City are finding it tough to sell all their tickets for FA Cup semi-final
• The Premier League champions have sold around 25,000 seats to their fans
• City have had to return the 2,000 extra tickets back to the Football Association
  
  

Manchester City are unlikely to sell all their tickets for Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Brighton.

The Premier League champions have sold around 25,000 seats for their fourth trip to Wembley this season.

City have had to return 2,000 extra tickets, sent in addition to their allocation of more than 30,000, back to the Football Association.

The club say those are the more expensive tickets, with prices going up to £120, and all categories of tickets remain on general sale.

Pep Guardiola’s side have three London games in eight days, with a Champions League date at Tottenham’s new stadium and a trip to Crystal Palace following the semi-final.

Fans have also argued that travelling back to Manchester is the cause of angst after the 5:30pm kick-off, with the last train north from London Euston scheduled for 9:24pm.

 

[Tezza1889]

We need to play at the highest level possible for as long as we can, that’s the point of professional football.

The rest of the baggage it brings just has to be dealt with.. it is what it is..

 

[blade too long]

Corrected it for you btl, doesn't read quite so positive when you change one word does it?

Mccabe gave warnock plenty of money and we bought Fathi Davies Shelton etc
.And the wage bill quadrupled for the crap Warnock bought. Our 2 star Strikers then finished up at Notts county and some Scottish village club

Looks like some want us to be part of it

 

[Chali 2na]

I don't go to watch the opposition.

Would you prefer to watch United play against an opposition or our own reserves?

Once you realise that you immediately write off 12 games (home and away against top 6), and the rest of the matches are against the likes of Burnley, Bournemouth and Southampton, it doesn't sound overly appealing.

Why would we write any games off? Is it impossible for a team outside the top 6 to beat a team inside it?

'Principles'? 'Premier League'? You'd find as many principles in the House of Commons. (I'm lying there). Arsenal were happy to pocket £30m to have 'Visit Rwanda' sponsorship.

Why would advertising a destination show a lack of principles? Did you feel the same way when we had visit Malta on our shirts?

 

[Booker4]

Yes, yes we do.

But we wouldn't be spending the top end of agents fees anyway. Wilder won't allow it and yes that will mean we miss out on some players but we'll be able to attract the right type also.

 

[grafikhaus]

Why would advertising a destination show a lack of principles? Did you feel the same way when we had visit Malta on our shirts?

Because Rwanda is noted for it's recent history of genocide and, er, Malta isn't?

 

[Chali 2na]

Because Rwanda is noted for it's recent history of genocide and, er, Malta isn't?

It's not that recent, so much so that it happened before I was born.

There's also a history of genocide in Germany and the Balkans- should I not visit there either?

What do you know about Rwanda, other than the facts surrounding their civil war 25 years ago?

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Want to be in there and have Wilder do his own thing to keep us progressing.
Separate from United though, I'm not keen on the the vast financial gap between top 6 and the rest and the resultant hoardes of plastic fans from all over the planet further fueling the gap.
Or the vast financial gap between Premier and Championship and resultant hoardes of football league club owners putting club's livelihoods on the line because PL status is the only way to break even
Then there are teenagers earning 100x the average annual salary before they've even made an impression on the first team and the resultant hoardes of agents who make millions without adding anything positive to the game.
Plus the cost of being a modern day football fan in general.
And the TV stations ensuring that everything is geared for the armchair fan rather than the spectator, including shifting games around all over the fucking shop.
Also the 39th game proposal which fits alongside the last point.
And the general lack of competition up and down the league.

That's my issue with the Premier League.

I agree the kick off times are shit

Me neither, but plenty of our 'new' fans would. Then we'd have 2 minutes at the arse-end of MotD and patronising insults from the likes of Garth Crooks, Lineker and Murphy. Just like 2006-07.

“Financial backing we could only dream of”

IF we got promoted we’d likely be the most attractive propelosotion for any owner looking for a new club

Relatively big and owners looking to sell wolves and Leicester got bought so why wouldn’t they buy us

Think they were struggling 2 sell tickets other night v Cardiff. Empty seats a plenty.

 

[puppet]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, yes I want it, not so much for me who has seen us in the top flight for a good few seasons, but for my boys, talking about the possibility of seeing Kane, de Bruyne etc in the flesh, just like I used to about seeing John Barnes , cantona etc etc , I would love us to do it for the new generation so they can experience what I have

My lad had been going as a toddler and was 16 when we went up last time and my 9 year old daughter in her second year as a season ticket holder. Blades mad first, football mad second, they were looking forward to seeing us compete with the best but like your lads, excited about seeing the star names as well. After a few games watching 3/4 big names surround the referee for every little decision, the worst being Manchester United and Chelsea, it kind of took the edge off.

Nah. We don't do we.
Wilder, Knill and all our fucking heroes don't want to go up take it to the next level and confound everyone as we have for the last 3 season's. Fucking most stupid post ever on here.

[YES Blade]

That’s a poor excuse, the train leaves 2hours after the game finishes.

Unless you leave Wembley before the end of the match or sprint to the tube station, you’ll be cutting it fine to get to Euston 2 hours after kickoff. Then there is also the possibility for extra time.

 

[Selly]

That’s a poor excuse, the train leaves 2hours after the game finishes.

If it doesn't go to penalties.

Add another 60 mins on for ET and pens and you'd have an hour to get away from Wembley back to Euston.

I can see why it would put some people off.

From its very inception I’ve hated the Premier league with a passion. Even in our brief dalliances with it, I’ve always come away from it feeling bitter. With the obscene amounts of money going into the Prem since we were last there, has just strengthened my view. I really hoped the whole Premier league model would have ate itself by now. But now we’re here once again.............Fuck it! Let’s stuff our pockets full of Premier League treasure.
