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?

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.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
