The Laughing Thread, the gift that keeps on giving.

[rosbif cuisson 'bleu']

You have to laugh though don't you ?

In England for the weekend for family reasons and forced to listen to radio 5 commentary, chat show afterwards with Robbie Keane , complete waste of time . Talk crap yesterday awful and all about the rags. The newspapers are awful , Daily Fail Rag mag is worse than having a Rag fanzine . The take on Scouse comback rather than how excellent Fulham played . In the UK you guys really suffer this rubbish.

still have to laugh at the Rags downfall. However i don't think Ciy fans would be cheap as to put a number up (must be at least 10 years now since they won the PL).

Haha was that you with the proper Manc accent who hung up when they tried to get you to talk to Chris gobshite Sutton.....

Take trannies goals away last season they would have finished 14th

Little bit subjective - I can’t remember who said it over the weekend but they said a spot on statement, he’s added goals but made them worse - might have been ratlad

the club's status is a joke
i've just gone through their major honours (league, fa cup, league cup, european cup / cl)
they have 40 titles in total
league - 20... baconface 13, busby 5, others 2
fa cup - 12... baconface 5, busby 2, others 5
league cup - 5....baconface 4, busby 0, others 1
cl - 3... baconface 2, busby 1

that's 32 (80%) trophies for baconface and busby! the only league titles not involving those 2 were 1907–08, 1910–11!!

Bang on the money NT, we have a rag in the office (ironically named Nigel).

First started working with him in 2008, nice enough fella seeing as he's from Basingstoke and ive never known him to have been to Old Trafford (but willingly borrows ST from the spurs and hammers fans in the office, in fact went to WHL on Saturday).


Has completely folded as a Man Ure fan, oh its gonna take 5 years for us to be back at the top..... thing is, he's been saying that for a good 5 years now.

Everytime he says it i say to him "Not in my life time" which really irks him as deep down he knows they were and are nothing without Fergiscum, they are finished, period. They will struggle to challenge fort he Wenger cup going forward and then drop further and further.

Another thing that tells a story, is De-Jong not wanting to reunite with his former coach Ten Had.....

They may not have had father/son thing going on but all was fine between them at Ajax enough for Ten Had to pursue him.

So it can only be that De-Jong can see how toxic the swamp has become and the Ten Had is on a hiding to nothing and doesn't want to get stuck at the rat infested theatre of screams with more egos than football players...

The trouble for the shite is not that he has gone But that he is still there hanging around like a bad smell
Like the piss can he is ,

Apparently Rabiot and his mother are the most toxic combination left in football, following the demise of Mino Raiola. More trouble for the swamp.

As well as the little fallout with City I read a fair old list yeaterday of people they have upset, players, clubs, families

You couldn't script it better.

If you read that article Hernandez says the only reason Baconface was so successful was that 7 out of 10 of his signings worked out well.
Pep's signed 24 that I can remember- if we take the flops as Mendy, Bravo, Angelino, Nolito, Steffan and Danilo and that's probably harsh on Danilo and Nolito it leaves 18 players - Ake, Torres, Cancelo, Jesus, Zinch, Sane, Rodri, Mahrez, Laporte, Stones, Silva, Walker, Gundo, Dias, Ederson plus this seasons 3 so if Haaland, Alvarez and Phillips work out and I'm pretty sure they will he's got a 75% success rate so even better than Fergie.

Plus Jack- deffo going to be a success

No way 7/10 of Baconfaces signings were successful

I doubt it’s half and probably 4/10

I’ve always said he was lucky that he got Giggs, Beckham, Scholes and the Neville’s all come through at the same time. When has that happened in recent years for a club as big as United?

Whio can forget the legends that were Kleberson and Djemba Djemba? Dodgy keepers as well. He really did have some turkeys

[Mase]

That Bebe was the biggest one. His assistant got a bung for that one and no one said a thing!!

Anyone remember the MacDonalds kid Anderson? Spent more time there than he did at the swamp

I am STILL convinced that was a way of getting money into Portugal off the radar to pay off that Portugese guy who was the only person standing in the way of Gill's move into UEFA.
