It’s kind of sad, but as someone from the rival camp, I feel a certain satisfaction in it. This is certainly the case for some LFC, Chelsea, ManCity, Arsenal, … supporters – actually the whole rest of the league, because this club has no sympathizers outside of its own fan base.
United has maintained its supremacy for years through highly questionable refereeing decisions, exorbitant salaries and massively unsympathetic transfer behavior. Then came City, not necessarily more likeable, but much more efficient and raised with expertise. You can think morally what you want of City, they are great in terms of sport.
On the other hand, the expertise at Man Utd can be argued against pretty much every current ‘decision maker’. The team isn’t any better either.
If you rely on aging “ex-stars” year after year and never make the right step into the future, this current situation is exactly the harvest.
In addition, you simply notice that the players are completely fed up in many parts and one or the other is certainly hoping to be able to leave the sunken ship at the next opportunity.
I feel a bit sorry for the coaches and fans, but overall I and many others had predicted this “career” many years ago and it’s no longer a surprise at all.
How the newspapers still come up with the idea of calling such defeats surprising or “sensational” is beyond me.
Man United are simply no longer favorites against certain PL teams. I’m talking about 70% of the teams here and this clearly includes Brentford, for example. You can see that pretty quickly if you follow this league day after day, week after week, year after year. There is a 90% chance of predicting who will beat United simply based on these teams’ usual match tactics or tactical leanings.
And the Schnacker Award goes to… you. I’ll take you out as a representative of all the malice and heartache.
You must be a millionaire as accurate as your predictions are.
The fact that Manchester United is almost ALWAYS the favorite could be more of a reason than what you say.
Whether you approach HSV, Schalke, Barcelona or, as in this case, United. In almost every one of these clubs, the media pressure is just abnormally enormous. Enduring this pressure is harder than showing your skills. But of the human psyche, very few people here have the slightest idea.
I chose you because you don’t want to seriously claim that such a result was to be expected. And Brentford, by all means, not start a game as a favorite against United in 100 years.
Then I ask you to prove the questionable referee decisions and the unsympathetic transfer behavior. Simply saying something is always critical anyway.
At least I don’t know where United have made their transfers more conspicuously than other big clubs. Except that they always pay too much.
On the subject of Ronaldo: I’m also a huge fan of his. But he also failed at the beginning of the season. Soccer is a team sport. No matter what happens with CR7 this season. He will have to be careful not to lose his legend status. A few years ago he would have at least tried to shoot again on his own. In his mind, he should now slowly bake some smaller rolls.
In general, it is quite disgusting to read the same malice over and over again in every article from the above-mentioned clubs. Is the German people really so consumed by envy and greed for money that they only shout “money burned” away from the factual?
All in all, it’s delicious that everyone criticizes TM’s BILD mentality, but only comments superficially themselves.
Lets Go United, will
Nice.
I didn’t think there were still supporters of this club who didn’t understand the current situation. Seems like I was wrong. If Brentford were relegated and stayed in the league at the same time, United could very well slip into the underdog role “in the next 100 years”.
On the subject of “millionaire”, no idea what that has to do with the “prediction”. But things haven’t been bad with easily predictable United losses and sports betting in recent months and even years, you’re right
I just wrote that there were many people who predicted this crash many years ago. Incidentally, that was also predictable at FC Barcelona.
If you haven’t recognized this, you may have a slightly distorted perception through “pink club glasses”. About 8-10 years ago I was really scared of our boys playing against United. There were hot games, often with the decisive advantage for United. At that time there was still this class in the game, being able to decide a game at any time.
Now here in Liverpool we just ask ourselves: “How high are we going to win this time?”. Sorry, but apparently that’s not a good sign for a traditional club like Man Utd.
No club in the Premier League, from Fulham to Man City, has any form of sporting respect for Manchester United anymore. And yes, if you deal with game systems and know how the coaches of the “little ones” work, then you can very well predict such outcomes. Of course not that it would be 4-0, but a win against United is now easily possible, for example for teams like the other United from the far north.
You don’t really need to write anything about the other things these days. There was a time when there was an umpire by the name of Howard Webb, crooked whistles on essential offsides, foolishness for players like Van Persie, Evra, Nani getting away with pretty much every possible assault. Above all, the famous overtime beyond good and evil, which shaped a phase in the game that is now reverently dubbed “Fergie Time”. Abusive songs about dead people, physical attacks on supporters of other teams, … uuuuund so on …. I won’t go into detail here and link sources, I don’t have enough time for that.
I think you will be able to call the “money burned” by its name because it is a fact.
This has nothing to do with envy, resentment or similar things, it’s the truth.
After all, you can use your money wisely, like the LFC, Man City, Fulham, Newcastle.
But you can also just bet on obvious Man Utd defeats which even after 5 miserable years the bookies don’t seem to have them on the slip 
… and thereby become a “millionaire”. 
What makes you think I’m a United supporter?
Just because I wish them luck? And to justify your argument is questionable anyway.
And you can see that all “big” clubs are permanently suspected of at least being given preference every year in the BuLi when Bayern put everything away after a weak phase.
Having worked professionally for a while myself, I can confirm that “bigger” clubs actually tend to be preferred in 50:50 situations.
And my dear Scholli, just because the pool at the Fergie time was crass mediocrity, but everyone knows that it’s adventurous. United was simply THE club at the time alongside Barca in Fergie’s time.
I think they didn’t need Webb to win titles.
