It is me and yes I have been a supporter since 1967. Not like some people who start supporting when we start winning trophies under Fergie. You would never understand winning the EC as the first British club to win it and then relegation to the second division and seeing Liverpool win all those trophies while we struggled. Unless you live through it you would never understand it. Playing in places like Oxford United in a mud hole etc.
This is not calling for the change of the Manager. I never wanted Poch and I have said yesterday's result should not be used to slate Ole. This is calling you guys who accept mediocrity at United. Ole or not we should expect to win every game we play.
So you started when we started winning trophies under Busby.
You’re mixing me up with the caf virtual support (or not) crowd. I was at the final with the ole fella who supported the club before Busby took over. He was born and brought up in Ordsall, Salford, a 15 minute walk from the ground and I was born half a mile further away. My first heroes were Gregg and Foulkes after their heroics in the air crash, so long before we became glamorous with Law and Best etc. That is why I will never expect as a divine right, winning or being permanent top dog, because I remember the darkest days among real local supporters. I hope to win but would never expect, as a divine right. Thanks for the lecture, though. Glad you started when we were shit with 3 world class players (ballon winners) in the side with titles and trophies under our belt.
im sorry but this “we are Manchester United“ just reeks of entitlement that no genuine down to earth supporter would tolerate. I’d love to see somebody make that proclamation in the Stretford End in its heyday. You’d be ridiculed or worse. It might be tolerated here but not amongst the support.
