Arab has taken a bit of a kicking here, and that's probably because he's gone to the extreme. I would be agreeing with him though if he said we should expect a better standard of football from United. It's better than under previous managers but we do need to see more improvements too.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I honestly couldn't care less Diafol, it's exposed some posters true identities on here tbh especially from the likes of Rosso who I genuinely thought was a decent guy.

Daz made the similar arguments as me and they never said anything back to him because I obviously live rent free in some of their heads.

no.. you live rent free with your mum and dad mate... keep up

Dunc going off topic with lies because every single point he made has been debunked. Why do these guys just worship the manager this much and not debate the man properly?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
not lies at all Arab... you said those things
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Provide the evidence then.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
like im gonna trawl through your bullshiiiite over 4 years

you only have to look at the match threads to see how pathetically angry you get
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cool, so you made a slanderous accusation then. You could get sued in the real world for that but with a midget and someone who probably can't scrape together enough cash for a Tesco meal deal, they'd probably take pity on your instead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


wow.. someone is getting flustered
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting flustered by someone who has been reaching for the insults and the lies from the very beginning? You haven't debated back any point I made in a constructive manner.

I don’t know who that leaves you with. Who would you like to see in charge?

I'll get back to you on that at the end of the season because after 26 months so far, it doesn't look like this manager knows how to get us to play a proper style of football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You’re happy with Ole until the end of the season at least then?

What’s a ‘proper style of football’? What would you like to see exactly?

Something hammer and tongs and all-action with running and shouting like Liverpool before their players started dying, or a tiki taka pass it into the net, or what? What’s your ideal?

posted on 22/2/21

b) Do you not remember the massive uplift in mood in the first part of his tenure? ('Jose's got us playing the way that United should' )

And resorted back to his normal style, which isn't too dissimilar to what we are seeing under Ole. The issue is this time we have a tiny bit more freedom in attack now and our keeper has turned Sunday league. Not the improvements I'm expecting after 26 months in charge of the club so far.

Can't be bothered to prove it because you've no evidence, you just throw out lies constantly with nothing to back it up with. Like I said, someone could sue you for that in the real world but taking one look at you and they'd probably run a mile.

Write the club a strongly worded letter telling them you won't renew your season card unless things improve.

Can we stop with this 'Pro-Ole' nonsense?

The people who are supposedly "Pro-Ole" are those who have been able to see improvement in results, recruitment and performances since he took over. Then be prepared to give him more time and a chance to continue that upward trajectory based on that assessment. Nobody is disputing that we have issues at the back, or that Ole gets it wrong tactically from time to time.

Its largely the same bunch who were prepared to give Jose more time when we finished 2nd under him. To see if we can continue to improve. People only turned on him in droves when the wheels came off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have to disagree there, Jose was doomed from day one from a lot of the same posters on this thread that peddled out the same issues we are seeing under Ole and constantly vilified him for it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Some people weren't happy with Mourinho's appointment, because of his style of football and his tendency to capitulate in his 3rd season.

The same people were also prepared to give him a chance to see if he could alter his methods which suited United's style of play. Since he had spoken highly of United in his career beforehand. People were still prepared to give him more time after he finished 2nd.

I literally said that on this thread, I've never been a fan of throwing a manager out mid season unless we were hovering outside the top 4 for a huge part of the season. Fortunately for Ole, being 2nd has given him enough ammo to stay put for now.

Nah I'm not a fairweather supporter like some of the plastics on here who scream being 2nd is worthy enough to not critique this bloke but it's okay to critique the bloke before him.

Sorry Vida, if I was sad enough to bookmark there was a huge amount of posters here on Jose's back even in his second season stating the lack of tempo and how much we were relying on De Gea to bail us out.

Have a look at the new article on this board. Those behind Ole are mentioning his mistakes, but without being insulted.

Two posters can say the same, but get different reactions.

You're not making sense. Are you suggesting that only 'plastics' felt that Jose had to go? I can't find anyone who isn't agreeing that the team need improvement either.

You're not cracking up here are you?

Brighton do not play better football than us. Please stop talking utter tripe.

It is debatable that Leicester do as well. They have scored 9 less and have a far superior #9 than we do..

But at least that one is debatable. The Brighton one isn’t.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Goals and quality of football aren't the same thing. Teams with better players are likely to score more, but that doesn't mean the football is great. Didn't Jose break the goal scoring record at Real? His Chelsea side scored a lot too, but no one ever accused him of playing entertaining football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

His first Chelsea side played some very good football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They had some top players and scored plenty, but I wouldn't say they played with flair. They were still inherently defensive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not really. What I would say is that they were very good defensively which is not the same thing.

I don't particularly disagree with your broader point really. What I would say is that because you're getting a bit emotional about it other people will respond in kind.

I think we'd all like to see a United team do the basics well and play better on a more consistent basis. I know I would. I'm not Ole Out and I'm supportive of him as long as we're moving forward. I do think we're doing that but it's also possibly a bit too slow for my liking especially when some of the same mistakes are repeated too often.

Against the better teams they would park the bus. Remember how they played against us in the Fa cup final?

What have I done here which isn’t decent please? I’d really like to know, because I’d rather not be offending people for no good reason.

I’ve never, ever logged on to here to insult anyone, try always to engage in good faith and in a constructive manner, and try to avoid the ad hominems, particularly the childish and offensive name calling (which is why I left the politics thread, because that’s what it descended into, and why I’ve considered leaving the site completely in recent weeks, to be honest).

I’ve already apologised on this thread if you’ve felt insulted by anything I’ve said here, because I haven’t meant to cause offence in any way. That not why I’m on here.

......

That isn’t what you do though. You are continually beating Ole with sticks that he should t be beaten with.

Use the ones you should and then there isn’t a problem.

I pick Ole apart on many issues but no one on here has a problem with that because they are evident.

You invent issues because you do not understand football.

Probably by patronising me by using my state of health as means to not watch the team. There’s feck all wrong with my health and don’t pretend like you care either.

VC's right here.

I still can't find anyone arguing that everything is perfect because we're 2nd in the table - this seems to be a fiction you (and others) have concocted and are desperately pushing at every opportunity.

Your point that the football could be better at times is valid, no one disagrees, I think it's getting lost in all your nonsense though.

The same stick I’m beating him with is the same thing you’ve been doing on here all season. You just look at the poster then the point.

I think Arab may be ginger. That would explain why he is such an angry individual. And still a virgin..
