View From Man Utd

Spoke to a few Man Utd fans yesterday, The real, local ones.
And I have to say they were all decent folk actually. I sympathised with them for not winning much silverware in the past three years and maybe struggling to make 6th in the Premiership, then they sympathised with us for not winning fuck all in 90 years and being in the third division for the past 5.
 
Wow did they really expect us to go gung ho from minute one ?. Defending from the off and frustrating them was the obvious thing to do, then maybe try to get at them the last 10/15, but when it gets to that amount of time left, your thinking replay, difficult.
 
Some of the comments made me chuckle :D

Mainly the ones saying they were awful but still "dominated" us. If one meaningful shot on target (from a penalty) qualifies as dominating the opposition then fine. Keep telling yourselves that.

Also saying that we "didn't go for it" and "never tried to win the game" :D .....tell you what chaps, next time we play your team assembled at 100 times the cost of ours we'll play everyone in your half and leave the backdoor nice and open for you.

Bless em. Not no.1 anymore and can't take it. Embarrassed by a bang average League One side at home.
 
Thanks.

A real mixed bag.

One that made me smile was something like "A great win, up there with Turin 99".

(Glad Depay's leg wasn't broken by that career ending tackle.)

PS My first thoughts on the comments before the game was, wouldn't it be good to be reading a View From Spurs, Southampton, Man Utd every week.

It's a lot easier to do too. When played Yeovil last season it took me ages just to get a few comments whereas Man Utd have about 500 forums

I got separated and lost (derr )on the way back to the car after and asked some for help ,ended walking and chatting , they were sound and full of praise for us actually. Called us a proper club ,I didn't say owt back to that :)
 
“At least we shut those witty f**kers in the away end up”
No, not from where I was sat in the south stand you didn't. Not by a long, long way. Those witty fuckers (See, we even know how to spell swear words. We don't need no stinking asterisks.) were giving plenty all game, after the penalty and after the final whistle too.
If your crowd of over 60,000 had half the passion of the Blades then they'd have been drowned out. But they weren't. They carried on singing and cheering their team. Try it some time, you might like it.
 
Or Van Gaal's comment "'We can improve but how many chances have Sheffield United created? No one is talking about that. Everyone is talking about the fantastic defence of Sheffield United."
Classy individual, not a pinch of praise for a club 2 leagues and 46 places below who if not for an injury time pen nearly took them back to the Lane for the replay they came for.The Blades had 2 shots on goal his team had two shots on goal one of those was the penalty.It is up to the home team to put on a show and go for it to prevent a replay.
I think flat face has run out of time, he just used up the last of his good luck.
 
I do like the mystical Adkins quote from BT Sport .

More colourful than Man Utd's performance...

"They better not get a late penalty," reads the Nigel Adkins quote. If you're just tuning in, Manchester United did - the 93rd minute to be precise.
 
Player reaction

Man Utd 1-0 Sheff Utd

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini: "Most important is we are through.

"The other team defended well, we kept the ball well, tried to create chances. We knew it would be difficult but in the end we win."
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"The Other Team"
 
its man u speak from foreign players

I always wanted to play for man utd has been spouted by players who never saw them in their youth as they werent on Serbian or Ukranian tv much
Fellaini probably thought we were a Belgian second division team

He comes across as a right arse hole
I know hes under pressure for his job but he offered no acknowledgement of our effort in our ten bob players commitment against their over priced donkeys

Theory of footballing relativity.
 



Just back from watching HB Jnr play and my best mate at junior football is a Manure fan. His perspective was that they played poorly, given that they are a Premiership side, that we played well given we are Division Three and he could barely bring himself to be pleased and certainly not proud when they got their goal.
