So ManU win another Cup.

Does anyone else find this just mind boggling boring. To think that the richest football club in the world playing in the most un-even competition in the world have just won another cup. This is not a dig a soccer just that I turned on the TV and here were all these manchester fans (all born in manchester - not) going off their brains with excitement and adoration for something was virtually assured at the start of every premier league season. Fair dinkum I don't know why the even bother with the season. Just have a 4 week round robin with the 4 richest clubs. As for ManU supporters, talk about downhill skiers, they probably support Ferrari and the Filth too. The culture of the (rich) winners.

There, that made me feel better

    As a Gunners supporter, i totally agree....YAWN 2010-2011.

    I can appreciate skilled players from ManU or any team for that matter for what they are and what they do.

    But the fact they play for ManU or that ManU win some more silverware does nothing for me.

    If I watch Premier league it is to watch the elite players or to see an underdog team put up a good performance

    Like watching a rich person with a Maserati outrace a poor person driving a Proton. Thats not competition.

    You make some interesting viewpoints. And yet I follow Manchester United. Maybe because I saw them as a kid more times than any other. I had a soft spot for Leeds Utd when Kewell & Viduka played for them. But for some reason I was just drawn to Manchester United. I've always had an interest in Sir Alex Ferguson for a long long time. I think that more than anything has strengthened my "support" for Man Utd.

    All that said, I find myself in a sense of deja vu time and again in the club winning title after title. :P

    I just wish it would some how rub off or translate into success for the MFC. :rolleyes:

    After being converted very early to the cause by my United mad grandfather I can actually still remember us being relegated. I think I was 7 or 8 at the time. I think those growing up in the Premier league era don't realise our struggles post Busby Babes and pre SAF. Bring on those trophies I say, because who knows when the wheel will turn again?

    Crystal palace wear red and blue, they have just been promoted to the EPL.

    Aldershot wear red and blue, they just relegated from League Two (essentially League Four)...

    Crystal palace wear red and blue, they have just been promoted to the EPL.

    Oh...

    I think that with United it is easy to forget just how saddled with debt the club is. A few bad seasons and we are in real trouble... So I will never take our trophies for granted.

    Bolton wear red and blue...but mainly white :P

    Hmmmm.... :)

    a friend once told me soccer would be more interesting if they didn't have keepers

    the scores and boredom factor would be quite different and the game may then be worth following

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
