bosstrabs I have always been a Warrington RLFC supporter first and foremost. Only really used go to Liverpool when (season-ticket) holding mates couldn’t go for whatever reason and offered me their ticket (before I moved abroad). I’ve never said any differently.
bosstrabs Mad_Cyril It’s the proper Derby, always has been Dave. I largely agree. What I was pointing out, as you are well aware, that whenever Danny Murphy grabbed us a hard-fought (spawny) win at Old Trafford when you were the better team, United fans were fond of saying “Enjoy your cup final”.
alistair bosstrabs bit like when United beat the noisy neighbours, although that’s as rare as rocking horse shit these days.
Smallman1 Southgate it is! https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/apr/26/gareth-southgate-to-manchester-united-is-actually-a-good-idea-so-whats-the-chance
Mad_Cyril Smallman1 I’d be up for this, on the presumption that the excitement would actually see Derm off. Can see his cankles exploding, Mr Creosote style
alistair It’s not a bad shout. He trusts and empowers his players to think for themselves and has always had strong communication skills. He’d get a better tune out of that front three
ScottBailey I’m out for many reasons, i.e. he’s a berk. But the main reason is he thinks Hendo is a dece footballer, which is a big no no for any potential future Utd manager from me. Cheers
bosstrabs He’s not really a berk though, is he? And therein lies the problem, he’s probably too much of a nice bloke to be a winner. Much like Smallman.
Smallman1 bosstrabs And therein lies the problem, he’s probably too much of a nice bloke to be a winner. Much like Smallman. He wins, he bants, he suaves!
alistair Smallman1 no doubt what you said about Palmer. 15 prem goals this season for WH kind of speaks for itself
Hursty There is absolutely no way Gareth will manage Utd, it would be a fairytale, I refuse to believe it
SM001 It would be an interesting social experiment within the United dressing room dynamics if anything else. He would at least bring a bit of calm and stability.
Mad_Cyril Bald’s brand of football is far more watchable than Gareths. Gareth is also a pretty rubbish name, very passive. Unlike Erik with a K, that’s for winners. In summary - bald is best
