Or any cries of loyalty and immortality at the club.
We still worship Dennis Law. Rightly.
He left us for city, or rather went back there, and scored the goal that ultimately relegated us.
By arsenal fans standards, he should be seen as, apparently, a cnut.
Players are transitional, all of them, I'd rather just admire what they did for us whilst here than revel in bitterness after they went.
VP's goals and assists have pretty much got arsenal to the big pay day of CL that is their target for three straight years, can't see the point in being pissed at him.
I'd be pissed at the club for letting the captain and best player leave for 4 straight years myself.
I felt the same about Rooney. Much as I've loved him being at UTD, in a good world he would have been allowed to develop at his boyhood club. On the other hand, he may not have ended up as good a player...
I'm not saying Arsenal are more moral than us. There's no other way to do it, it's how the game is set up. It just makes it all a bit meaningless. But that's football.
Football is a lot more tribal these days. Busby played for both City and Liverpool for crying out loud. Anyone with that CV would be stoned at the gates of Old Trafford before he'd be allowed to join us nowadays!
At the risk of sounding pedantic, it's Denis.
Also, we would have gone down even if he hadn't scored that goal.
Oh please no, not the backheel debate
Of course we would have gone down, nevertheless it was the goal that confirmed it.
If we beat Arsenal next april at their place , with Van Persie scoring the winner, and it means that they cant get 4th, I'll take a bet he gets blamed for costing Arsenal champions league football, given the response over the last 24 hours.
Too awesomely cool to be true, yet it is indeed a reality.
Its almost surreal to see him in our kit. I remember even when you're playing football manager it was almost impossible to get him to join Manchester United. Now its become a reality. I hope it lives up to everybodies expectations though.
fecking hell...that's a bit deep. In your 'good world', no team buys a player from another team and just develops their own.
I don't think football's ever been that way.
Transfers like these seem to be more common in Italy or Spain. Isn't there quite a lot of players who have played for both Milan clubs? Plus Juve too.
Well Ibra played for all 3 of the big clubs.
What's that pose about then?
Hublot
The watches I assume, maybe they're from the same maker or something.
I move we waive the forum gif ban for this one, so much potential.
Oops. Gif ban?
I'm sure you're fine as its relevant to this thread (disclaimer: I don't speak for the mods), but that's got forum-wide application imo.
Zlatan, pirlo, abbiati, ganz, zambrotta, just to name a few all played for at least 2 of those 3 clubs.
Ronaldo too.
He was coming to the end of his career and his goal didn't send us down.
It was a different breed of fan back then
They were maybe cnuts but weren't complete cnuts like now. United were mismanaged and Law was past his best. He certainly didn't celebrate the goal.....Fergie looks like an old blues brother 
just needs a top hat.
just needs a top hat.If it's entertaining enough no one complains. They're supposed to be football related only, no memes especially.
Yeah, we're still allowing fun, creative and relevant pictures.
But generic memes and gifs to express an emotion will result in an infraction in the football forums. That was necessary, as threads became flooded with crap like that.

Sorry, Top. Won't happen again.
Nah, it's never been that way, I think us fans are just a bit too romantic about the game. Ideally, players wouldn't move to their rivals. How can you be enemies of a sort... then subsequently play for the opposition a few months later? We'd like to think it's about territory or turf...but it's not, it's just a sport...a sport where people earn a lot of money, a sport like any other sport where personal achievement matters.... which is why players move to clubs where they can be successful. We shouldn't begrudge a 29 year old, the opportunity to reach his goals. He's clearly got the platform now.
I reckon that gif you did belongs in the "allowed" category. It's original and relevant.
What we're trying to cut down is gifs that have nothing to do with football which are repeatedly posted, time and time again, as an alternative to actually saying something. Stuff like that He-man f@p gif, for example.
peterstorey could do with a new avatar...
Yours is fine from what I understand.
Think things such as the 'facepalm' meme, or the Michael Jackson eating popcorn gif. The pointless stuff basically.
Oh god yes please, someone make that happen!
Talk about rubbing it in.I just hope that won't make him even more bitter then he already is.
SAF:
Okay, but it's better to be careful now.
Come on, modmins, listen to the people.
Here's the version for you. Not a gif.
