Wash your mouth out. Cantona Christmas is a club classic. The Ole songs are brilliant as well. Why anybody would complain about them I don't know.

Embarrassing, I say tear his banner down!
Just kidding.
Just kidding.
Some people love to hate mate. They can't see how much the squad has improved.
I don't know how many times i must say this; I am not Ole hater. Why would i be Ole hater? I am just highly critical (have bigger standards) to those who are not doing good job for this club. I didn't want Ole gone because i hate him (who the feck can hate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and be United fan?). I wanted him gone because from day one i knew that he is not good enough. And as we saw, he was awful.
Damage? Won nothing, wasted 3 years in nothing, left uncoached squad, broke negative records.
He did left high quality squad, i admit that.
If he left a high quality squad then he hasn't done any damage at all. Which is more than can be said for most of his predecessors post SAF.
Winning nothing is disappointing but its not really damage is it?
Sing what they like for me as long as there is some noise going on.
His job was to win trophies and not only to buy potential players for the next manager. That's the job of the DOF.
Ole haters, Mou lovers...you just love to put labels on people.
So you are Ole lover and Mou hater? Is that how it goes?
most posters in here are the same guys that were inexplicably angry after seeing pictures journalists took of ole smiling during games or out walking to woolworths
Pro tip: fact check stuff before you write them.
Cole: 274 games, 20,397 minutes, 121 goals, 44 assists
Ole: 365 games, 20,363 minutes, 126 goals, 50 assists
Yeah I’m sure a thousand stories could be told from those stats. But a simple one is 1 was a better player and the other goes down as a legend because he had 91 more games to score 5 more goals
He played 30 minutes less.Yeah I’m sure a thousand stories could be told from those stats. But a simple one is 1 was a better player and the other goes down as a legend because he had 91 more games to score 5 more goals
You’re having an absolute nightmare in this thread.Yeah I’m sure a thousand stories could be told from those stats. But a simple one is 1 was a better player and the other goes down as a legend because he had 91 more games to score 5 more goals
Some impressive troll logic on display there.
Twatter must be missing them
The story isn't that his songs are being sung, the story is his songs are being sung more than before he was a manager.
The frequency of the songs is the story.
Should we sit around tallying up the volume of songs sung about the last manager in case they reach a level deemed unacceptable? What's the threshold?
The real story is the frequency of pointless things people require to fill out their daily quota of moans.
I don't mind either way. I was just pointing out what the actual issue was.
It seems an irrelevant thing to me but it does showcase the divide that happened in the fanbase during ole's reign.
Ole better than Cole?
I guess not, I haven't seen any of that.
Have you been reading much of this forum over the last few weeks, plenty are doing exactly that.
Right. So, Cole scored less goals per minute than Ole.
And you think this fact supports the idea that Cole is the better player (or more of a legend, or whatever it is you're trying to argue here)?
It’s really simple. One guy started the majority of the games the other guy started on the bench and was happy to stay there for years like Jesse Lingard seems to want to do.
Cole was a better player - otherwise Solskjaer would start and Cole would be a sub. Surely that's a logical statement that needs no further debate.
Football is a game of episodes/moments, and Solskjaer grabbed the biggest/most dramatic of them all which cemented his place in history and contributed to the aura/legend, but let's get real - he wouldn't be in the top 30 United players of all time on ability alone.
Rubbish.
There's even a bit of it in this thread.
It's always ex-players that divide "top reds" and "lesser reds". It's just a song ffs. Fans can sing whatever chants they want so long as it's appropriate. I think we need to leave behind sentimentality. One group of people care too much about nostalgia and the other care too much about the bad stuffs that happened when Ole was Utd manager. They're both in the past and what we should be looking forward to is the future.
Yeah, it shows that the greatest manager of the game kept one for 91 more games. And then a clueless forum troll decided he knows better.Yeah I’m sure a thousand stories could be told from those stats. But a simple one is 1 was a better player and the other goes down as a legend because he had 91 more games to score 5 more goals
Mate you was 6. What do you know I watched the majority of his career you probably don’t even know his debut. Give it a rest or how when he originally came on the scene how commentators couldn’t pronounce his name correctly. Give it a rest this one isn’t for you
Yes i was 6, well done for being able to do basic mathematics. I stayed up and watched Ole score us the winner and as such he held a special place in my heart at an age when I was absolutely manic about football. The fact commentators couldn't pronounce his name has the square root of fu*k all to do with this conversation.
I'll decide what's for me mate. Even if I was only 2 during that time nothing stops me researching and understanding our club, players and it's overall history and knowing what impact certain players had during their time with us. RVP's season was fantastic and it's the last season I (probably anyone here) truly loved watching United as it coincided with the time I was at university and everything was multiplied but to say he did more for the club than Ole did is just ridiculous and if you are not Wumming then I feel sorry for you for having this opinion.
I can't believe that this thread is real and that it's gone on for 7 pages.
He was a key player for numerous titles as a player, including an all-time epic CL winning goal in extra time and came back to manage the club at a point in time that felt far more dire and hopeless than it does now, and helped the club at least finish respectably in back-to-back seasons.
People who want to sing his name at matched have every right to, and honestly it makes them look far less reactionary, short-sighted, and ungrateful than a lot of other fanbases and even a significant part of our own. If this is controversial to you, maybe find something better to worry about.

You’d think he was top 50 best players we ever had
He's absolutely one of my favourite Utd players of all time. And that's obviously true for a lot of fans, hence still singing his name
I wouldnt say that thinking Cole was better than Solskjaer is an outlandish thing to say tbf. Cole was bloody good striker.
Yup, Cole was fantastic and especially in combo with York. Ole's greatest strength was being that incredible impact sub. I remember how he knew how to exploit tired defenders and did so extremely well, didn"t look half as lethal when he started games.
It's the best ever.
Statistically, they both scored a similar amounts of goals for United (126 for Ole, 121 for Cole) in roughly 20,000 minutes, but at their peak (98, 99, 2000) Cole was better. Fergie must have thought so too, Cole was getting 1000+ minutes a season:
98 season - Ole 1.784' Cole - 3.647'
99 season - Ole 1.587' Cole - 3.756'
00 season - Ole 2.256' Cole - 3.382'
And Cole-Yorke partnership was the most fearsome duo in Europe at the time - telepathic understanding and goals galore.
Why is Cole dragged into this shitfest
Oh wait, it's because Wumnaldo with his usual posts.

I was 10 in 1999. The first sporting event I remember crying over was actually the year before when Kildare lost to Galway in the All Ireland Football Final. My Aunt told me there would be another day for them but somehow I knew there wouldn't be. Turns out I was right.
The next time I remember crying is when we drew with Liverpool 2-2 when Irwin was sent off. I thought the league was done and Arsenal would win it.
I like many others initially missed Ole's winning goal as I was busy celebrating Teddy's goal. But trust me when I say I remember every small detail from when we won that final.
As a guy with blue eyes and slightly curly light brown hair hearing I looked a bit like Ole meant the whole world to young me. The man is more than a legend, he is representative of what this club stands for.
