Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yep pretty much straight off the bat. Monaco also had attacking full backs but they didn't even try long balls over the top to play to the strengths of Sane and sterling, it might have a great success rate but to not even try to use the pace in the side when their cbs are poor and the fbs are way up the pitch was pathetic. Yaya would be able to play raking balls, and at least not panic like they did in the first half. Fernandinho was getting embarrassed by baka and fabinho
I love how some city fans think their problem was they went out attacking. They basically parked the bus in the first half, they didn't leave it at all. Pep did select the team wrong, he should have thrown some midfielders in for at least some semblance of balance, but their problem certainly wasn't that they were too attacking.
Thought those responses were measured to be honest. Nevertheless, a nice find that, for Bluemoon.
Their fans are already on the way home.
Stolen from the Guardian:
That's brilliant
amazing. I assume kompay bought a ticket tonight to watch the game
Quality
I'd take him here in a heartbeat.
Wtf lol.

Do I see some Real Madrid fans?
The curious case of Benjamin Aguero
Most sensible thing to come from bluemoon in a while.
That is a very weird post. He seems to be trying to convince himself more than anything. But of what I'm not entirely sure?
I do sympathise with that type of City fan though. The type who've spent most of their adult life defining their support as noble in opposition to the corporate behemoth down the road. There is/was an undoubted quiet pride in being the smaller club. The club that slummed it whilst their neighbors gorged on gold and glory. I understand that. It makes sense. The problem is, that club is dead now, and the club it's become is following the same corporate/marketing blueprint set out - hell, co-written! - by the thing they've always hated. And it went from 0-60 in 5 seconds, bypassing any reasonable middle moral ground in the process.
All of which means that there's no real way to be feircly 'old City' anymore. There's no lording it over OOTs and glory hunters anymore because they're on the fast track to the same thing (and on a lottery ticket to boot) But there's also no way they can "out big club" us either, so they're stuck in a kind of supporter identity purgatory, where both idealised versions of City undermine the other. They're no longer a noble small club, 'cos they sold out, but they're not yet a fully fledged big club, 'cos they bought in. They're the worst of both worlds. Right now at least*. And however dismissive they may be, that's still really annoying to the kind of fan who took a great and understandable deal of pride in being "not Man Utd"...
Obviously a lot more have just rolled with it humorously, of course. I know some perfectly sound City fans who're well aware they hit the jackpot and are just enjoying the ride, and hoping it eventuality normalises them. And fair fecks. But there are clearly others who find it maddening, and don't know what to do with themselves anymore. Leading to rambling weirdness like that.
* Chelsea have ridden the same hurdle with success tbf, so it can be done. But it took the iconicity of Mourinho, a European Cup, the subtle toning down of Abramovich's influence and the arrival of City themselves as a replacement big bad to do it. Right now City have "Aguerooooo!" They need a lot more.

Better luck next season.
Better luck next season.
Thats brilliant.
Awesome!
Genius
Very true and what really irks the Berties is that they expected to go on a path of world domination and watch United amble into mediocrity, but we just won't go away. They were belittling the FA Cup and now they're really up for it. They were constantly mocking us being in the Europa League, but I guarantee you they will be pig sick tonight. Hope their season tails off into nothing, which is looking most probable now anyways.
Brutal.
Fixed!
yes, but they do it EVERY SINGLE GAME they lose. I have never heard a set of fans claim bias, corruption and match fixing as much as theirs do when it comes to City losing
did a City fan get quoted on here as saying the FA Cup win v Stoke was better than the league win, or meant more?
Utter nonsense, tit

His biggest problem is he has a squad full of defenders that can't defend and heap pressure on themselves by trying to play out from the back. Their only good CB can't stay fit plus they don't have a decent keeper. All that means that if your front players aren't creating/scoring then you are in trouble.
If you play an attacking left back and and Stones -enough said - at CB you are going to lose goals. Agreed on his midfield, even if you are looking to score in an away tie, only playing one midfielder who can tackle and play defensively and help the back four is short-sighted to say the least. Guardiola doesn't seem to realise he hasn't got the players at City just now to play the football he wants, but he doesn't seem willing to cut his cloth accordingly in the short-term.
City fans have always moaned about being the little guy being bullied by the big horrible authorities.
They don't know how to behave like a big club and never will.
Most the deluded idiots on Bluemoon only started supporting little City when the petrol money came in anyhow - can't take them seriously.
Liverpool get a pen:
Who is paying the ref to throw the game and why? They're lunatics over there

That you even need to ask that question, open your mind man!

It's all fergie and David gills fault. It's a damn conspiracy I tell ya.
That is the best thing I've ever seen.

They should tell Gill they will double what the FA are paying him
United, obviously.

and he's a clever fecker, too, that Oliver guy. He made sure he gave a dodgy red card to us the week before just to hide to 'inconsistencies' of his decisions against City.
Dead people?
