Who really jumped up with joy when Van Persie scored with his first touch against Arsenal?
----
Me.
Disagree.
Tribal intensity remains throughout football. Try telling any Manc or Scouser that a United v Liverpool fixture lacks passion.
Same goes for Barca v Real, Arsenal v Tottenham, Celtic v Rangers... The list is endless.
Umm, yeah I agree, but thats not necesarily a bad thing.
Isn't it all part of the entertainment that players move to rival clubs?
I thought it was great when we bought RVP and enjoyed his goals against Arsenal like I would any other. Equally I'm sad to see Danny leave but wish him all the best at Arsenal.
Surely these moves are highlighted because of the tribal intensity you see at clubs, just look at the pigs head Barca fans threw at Figo, is that not passion and intensity?
the reality is that the game has lost its tribal intensity and passion

I dont know if its lost its intensity. I do think we have an oversaturation of football in our lives. Minute by minute updates every single day on Twitter, Insta, FB, Rolling news channnels.. All a bit much isnt it? Kinda loses its appeal for me a little.
What will it take?
Mourinho wearing a United shirt and bowing to the Stretford End?
It's over.

What are you talking about?!?!
Mr C has it just about right - it's the over saturation , and not just in footy but almost everything we do. I'm of an age when the walk to the newsagent with my old man on Saturday tea time for the nearest thing to live score updates were in the 'Football Pink' as we knew it round these parts. Although I'm still as intense about us now regardless.

When is a signing of such bad taste that you say no thanks?

All depends on the player.
I wouldn't want United to sign Glen Johnson for instance because he's utterly useless and for all intents and purposes a filthy scouser by association. However, I'd take Suarez in a heartbeat...
