Bluemoon goes into Meltdown
- Thread starter Logan!

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.
Pep recognises that the competition is suddenly looking quite fierce, so it's time to start looking for new opportunities. PSG would have been the perfect fit for him had the stars aligned.
He'll be there sooner or later. Wouldn't surprise me if he goes next summer already.
If the Qataris are unsatisfied with Poch, they could always sack him and bring in Pep - unless there's some feud between UAE and Qatar that I'm not aware of that makes a direct deal difficult.
That can't be real. That must be one of us undercover.

Funny you mention that, UAE and other gulf countries are actually enforcing a blockade against Qatar at the moment.
How inappropriate that someone would use a homosexual slur about this poster due this post. He is not gay, he is under the thumb.
Hasn't been a blockade here for some time now. Saudi and the UAE flights were banned due 'to escalating Delta Variant COVID cases within the GCC region' (really down to them sqaubbling over the OPEC oil $barrel set price), but that all sorted now as well.
There are eyebrows being raised in the UAE, especially the Emirate of Abu Dhabi about the amount of money being funnelled into 'projects' - anywhere else in the world Etihad would have been bankrupt a decade ago.

Fair enough, thanks for the clarification
^Found the undercover rag twat (am I doing this right, Bluemoon?)
You didn't meant the swamp in the paragraph somewhere, so, almost perfect.
Consensus on BlueMoon is we were lucky...did they watch the game???
‘Clinical striker? Get fecked. Go back to the swamp you rag cnut’
Correct. There was also a clear pen on Ronaldo (not the Tom Daley one) despite Zouma claiming he got the ball which didn’t.
Despite what some of our fans on Bluemoon say, Atkinson and VAR did them no favours today.
Which goes back to what we were saying earlier about overdoing the conspiracy thing
Media: United won today.
Bluemoon: United wankathon.
Media: Two points dropped by City.
Bluemoon: Media's anti-City agenda is sickening.

‘Ushited’. Dear oh dear that is terrible. It’s up there with Liverpoo. Do grown men actually come up with these?
If you listened to Pep's comments properly, empty seats isn't the real problem. It’s the lack of atmosphere. They scored six goals to a fairly muted audience. It's all gone a bit stale over there. Although, was it ever a hotbed of vibrant activity. Probably not.
The match day experience (a term invented by City football groups marketing team) is on an inevitable path of slow decay by corporate gentrification. The club (Etihad airways) wants to fill the stadium with opulent tunnel clubs, corporate boxes, holiday packages with a game thrown in. You can spot them a mile off. Day-trippers wearing United kits under their coats. They don't know how to join in or add anything to the atmosphere.
Equally dreadful is the large seam of portly men in suits, sitting above the stands on padded seats, like Roman emperors, glugging down wine, barely noticing the 5th goal being scored against Norwich. These are the sort people they need to drive out, not attract to games.
This is the paradox being played out when you have success on the pitch. It eventually pushes out the real fans, so that the ones with cash to burn can take their place. Usually floating glory hunters.
Most genuine City fans would be happy with a 40k throng of loyal fans, and a decent Kop behind the goal to sing in and generate an atmosphere. Something that cannot be generated in a stadium that was created for athletics. People have more fun on the concourses than they do in the stands, because when they go back to their seats they are separated by corporate sections and day-trippers from Asia, and the result is a flat, sterile, passionless affair.

Ushited is original. Surprised they didn't stick with Manure. But fans do make up great names: Shitty, Ushited, Liverpoo, Rentboys. Not sure why Chelsea are not faecal matter? Oh, I suppose that label is too.
I do love these stories.Did the school run, big red who never goes and only chats on if they win, trying to tell me about PR7.
I just kept laughing, everytime he started to speak I just kept on laughing until he was literally shouting at me as I trundled off giggling.
Ah I felt like the feckin king as I walked to my car, red mardarse
There's always some "dumb rag mate" hanging around to be the butt of the joke.
They just make up stories just like they make up attendances
Jesus, as if someone actually took time out of their day to not only post that but make it up also. Sad fecks
That's what Blue Moon should be called
Very true
do fans of other teams post on their like on here? I like fans of rival/foreign teams on here as they provide interesting insight and views etcWonder what we can make of this? Wanker
Compared to Blue Moon, the Caf is Kant, Sartre and Bertand Russell having a debateVery true
Right. And that's why people like me are posting here and not over there in that intellectual wasteland
So he wants to change English football into the Spanish model where the big clubs have 'b teams' in the second tier?
He can feck off. English football is unique that it has such strong lower league with fan engagement. The Championship isn't just a fecking micket mouse league for City's youngsters to train in.
And even if this did happen he'd be moaning about the style of football in the Championship and that his young stars need to be protected etc.
Pep's good Manager of elite players, that is undeniable. But he does not understand the culture of English football and thinks ebery fecker needs to bend over backwards to suit his every whim.
Doubt the FA or the 72 clubs in the Football League would accept this either.
Not only spanish. In Germany U23 teams of Bundesliga clubs are allowed up to the third league, so he knows that model also from here. So England is a bit of an exception, but this is also here an often discussed thing.
I didn't know in Germany.
I disagree that's it's an often doscussed thing in English football.
I would say an often discussed thing in football forums of the big clubs rather than the footballing public.
For me they are more like a sad wank

It would probably mean the big teams can attract better youth players which is unfair but at the same time it might attract more overseas youth talents to England - tapping into the German and Spanish youth pool at a higher rate.
Yeah he has no idea what he’s on about with this. Never mind the fact that his youth players would get absolutely destroyed physically in the lower leagues.
Sorry I meant "here in Germany".
There's a very viable way of creating a competitive environment for younger players. Get your multi millionaire squad players who don't feature one week to the next in the U23 or reserves league. Then everybody wins. Your squad players will be sharp and your younger players are up against a totally different standard.
But managers these days don't want to risk their third choice right back getting a knock.
They can't have it both ways.
Is this a Bluemoon goes into meltdown thread? Or a talk about the pros and cons of youth/B team setup?
Give it a rest and share some more funny posts from Bluemoon.
I guess they don't care about the CL?
Considering that's all the powers that be are interested in, it's a shame their fan doesn't engage with it.
