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:

Do they have any blue and red teams in this comp?

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?

Do they have any blue and red teams in this comp?

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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
