Fulham losing at Derby , it’s silly season
 
We are 6th in the table, in the play off position despite the awful display today. Tell me this would be the situation last September and a) I would have taken it no problem and b) thought you were on the happy juice.

Moan all you like about the players, the team, and the management but its pretty spectacular to be 6th with all thats going on with the Blades.

There are reasons to be cheerful.

Not regarding today's game; pretty certain there weren't any. I'm talking about United in general, or even football for that matter.

Has anyone got any good reasons to keep going? I've been a season ticket holder for a good twenty years now, so I've seen it worse on the pitch. Maybe I'm getting older, maybe the game is changing - or both? Finding it extremely hard recently to get excited about going to football games, and I turn up due to more of a resigned sense of obligation these days.

I've been toying with the idea of packing all in since the pandemic, watching us get relegated in a pathetic fashion, on TV, with empty stands seemed to suck the life out of it for me. I told myself it would be better once crowds were allowed, and things were back to normal, but I'm just as apathetic as I was then.

Can anyone help shake me out of it, or offer any sort of encouragement? I have a horrible feeling that today's game will be my last, and what a stinker to end it on.

Bash back on the bench has to be a benefit

Going to watch Hallam FC occasionally has helped with perspective & the horror combination of the last Prem season & VAR in terms of enjoying games. So maybe go see some lower league games next season.
 
It's been worse :)
Also when the team is shit all the knobheads melt away and you have plenty of seating room to yourself and you don't need to queue for hours for everything
 
I've only just got home. I'll do it all again next game.

I've not lost the love...yet but sorry to read you, and some others, have. I hope the feelings you once had, return.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that'd be fine with getting shat on from a great height every week then using the hundred million quid to rebuild the season after

I'd take it but I accept a lot wouldn't

What took u so long?

Happened to me a while ago, havent looked back. Now I just stay at home, and eat ham and cheese sandwiches. Gives me more satisfaction, than seeing football and sufc die
 
Morning after positives - Hecky did not make excuses. Hecky changed it a half time not 62 min and it did make a difference. Ndiaye finished nice and clinical. Berge looks a cut above. We are still 6 th. Incredible that 5 out of bottom 7 won we are not alone in bottling the run in. 29 k crowd. Racism called out on kop. It was a lovely sunny day out drinking with Blades not like a shit boring sat in international break. Only got to wait until Monday to hopefully shake off depression. We can and do bounce back. its football we’re not in Mariupol
 
I think we have seen enough to know Jebbison isn't anywhere near ready so can focus on having a stronger strike force for next year with him out on loan rather than hoping he comes good
 
was a bleak day
but the one pòsitive was luton apart it was a bleak day for all the top 6
we could have won and all the others won and we would be no better off
the 1 point would have put us 3 points clear rather than 2 which is galling but as usual pressure tells at this stage of the season

as Jones the butcher says Dont Panic dont panic

ridiculous statement for a start around 10 will go and who knows who comes in maybe 6 to 8 players for reasonable fees
dont remember bassett spending 120m on players but we stayed 4 seasons up there

Brentford spent wisely you just have to cut your cloth accordingly

wee are no worse than any team that goes up
and we ve been lucky to stay near the top with 11 key players out injured
had we had a fit oconnell basham and sharp etc wed be home and dry

half of yesterdays team were returnees from injury and it showed
we had all our squad fit to finish 9th in the prem
got less than half fit since then
 
Being able to go to the pub.

Football wise there was fucking nothing. Zero. Nada. What a waste of fucking time we are as a football club atm.

Anyone who thinks we are any good is totally deluding themselves.

If you watch United in the expectation of success, you’ll be disappointed. But given you’ve been a regular for 20 years I very much doubt that’s the case. In that time we’ve been far far worse than we are now - the Wilder years aren’t the norm.

So I think the question is for you. Why did you start going? What’s different now?
 
What a selection of fickle, miserable contributors we have on here. We have been a yo-yo club, a club that offers incredible highs, inevitably followed by crashing lows for the decades I have followed the club. That's what following a club such as ours is about! This season has been blighted by dreadful injury problems and some shocking refereeing decisions... and yet we are still in contention. Some perspective is required! I left the ground yesterday feeling angry and frustrated, but I'll be back next week optimistically anticipating a win!

A yo yo club goes up and down frequently.

We drop out of the top flight and that’s it for 12 years.
