Having an opinion equals to having a meltdown.. Jesus Christ.
Redcafe goes into Meltdown 2014/15
- Thread starter TheGame
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

Yeah because basing low expectations of the whole season on one lineup is a valid opinion.
While the word meltdown is an overstatement, it's a bit pathetic that people are so negative before the PL has even kicked off. Previously fans would be excited for a new season and seeing youth yet there's this. I mean, looking at the line-up...Jones and Smalling are finally playing at CB, you have two young players in Blackett and Lingard, Herrera is making his debut, and Mata is starting in his best position. There are a handful of positivies to be seen!
Good idea. Name & shame
Maybe to stop the arguments we could quote the post without the name of the poster
I'm not expecting instant miracles - a lot has changed and it will take time.
Hindsight aside (we all know what followed) but I have that same sort of 'who knows' feeling as I did prior to 95-96.

He said 'That's a seriously weak looking lineup.' which im sure everybody agrees?. Meh this thread is going to fail worse than Moyes reign last season.

I fail to see where I have written off this season.. all I've said is I'm a bit wary of this lineup and it's not as strong as it should be for a club like us.
I like to see youth given the chance as much as the next Utd fan but I also prefer to see us be as strong as we can be and introduce the kids slowly rather than having to rely on them because we have no other options. Get the targets in we've been linked to this summer do Blackett and Lingard get a game?
My thoughts exactly, this thread will end badly.
Seriously weak when you have arguably the best GK in the league, one of the best CAMs in Mata, Herrera, one of the best strikers in Rooney, Hernandez, Fletcher, Jones, Smalling. Come on.
I was talking more about the defense than the rest of the side, should have worded it better.
Weak in terms of where it should be due to injuries and lack of signings, we have 2 youth players who would be nowhere near starting if it wasn't for those 2 reasons, of course its weak we have 9 players out.
I dread to think what other sides in the league are then.
I can't believe people are against this thread. Fantastic idea.
Might as well just rename the match day thread.
Some right miserable bastards there all right.
I'm not nervous.
I'm having a meltdown right now
Should we all be merry after a pathetic home display?
This is gonna be my favorite thread
Feel whatever you like.
Thanks for the thread ffs 
Sack LVG.
Watch yourself, he's not just serious he's 'deadly' serious!
Faith's not what it used to be.
Love a proper meltdown coming from a united fan. The passion and agony both entwined with lack of transfer activity, just perfect. This is going to make an epic thread this season, I am sure we wont be let down.
I don't feel one can even properly contemplate low level panic until the transfer window has slammed shut with nowt having happened.
<snivels quietly>
And we won at Sunderland last year didn't we? And there's always the Cups.

Miserable is understandable, but there's been some proper kneejerk BS today!
To be fair, I don't think this thread is appropriate. I do believe that it will descend into a slinging match of 'why did you think my post was trash', 'yeah well your post is trash as well' and the note of 'criticise the post not the poster' will get thoroughly overridden in this respect. People will react to being posted in here personally and that will cause slugmatches with other users.
What makes the RAWK and Bluemoon meltdown threads unique is that they are interpreted at face value by our fanbase and the implication that it is 'funny' is kind of a disclaimer as to how we as United fans perceive others. There is no room to discuss it is just a face value entertainment medium. That to me says a lot when there are other teams fans in them defending opinions. It's not about the construction of what they have said it's about what we perceive them to be.
I just wanted to say my piece that I don't think this thread is necessary at all and will create a centralized zone for heated verbal abuse slugfests.

Love the idea behind this thread. What's life if we can't learn to laugh at ourselves. Here's my kneejerk self quote :
This is what someone posted about the Rojo transfer, I've left the name out but come on, talk about over reaction.
So we wanted to get rid of some dead wood this season and were going to sign some more deadwood, wonderful
This is what someone posted about the Rojo transfer, I've left the name out but it come on, talk about over reaction.
Aye. Remember being proper pissed reading that.
Deadwood even before the player signed for us.This is what someone posted about the Rojo transfer, I've left the name out but it come on, talk about over reaction.
Delph anyone?
This is genius from the matchday thread.
You see Mourinho and Wenger orchestrating in the tehncial area even when their teams are winning. But when every player looks clueless and devoid of ideas what are VLG and Giggs doing...sat on the bench grinning!
I've officially gone into meltdown. 3-0 down against MK fecking Dons
Did you write this shite just to get posted into this thread?
Louis van Gaal | Manchester United manager
Are you being thick?
I was making a point about how Moyes and LVG should be held to the same standards. Why is it suddenly ridiculous to call out our manager on looking utterly clueless on the sidelines when it was fair game last season?
Rich pickings tonight. Familiar names turn against the manager...
We need 3-4 defenders, 3-4 midfielders.
There's a 'Will we stay up thread' good heavens, if that isn't a meltdown I don't what is.
