Let's all Laugh at England

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.
The way Pickford mouths off when anyone challenges him, it’s like he’s trying to instigate a square go every time. Just has one of those faces.
Trippier likes to whine aswell, and is one of the spurs players who likes to leave the boot in when they are getting beat. He’s definitely the most likeable of that group of 5 though.
He's a keeper. They are all like that.
Not all of them to that extent. Comes across as a twat.
Agreed, it’s such a strange narrative. I’m pretty sure plenty of oppo fans also dislike Lingard.
Nah, pretty much all of them like to trash talk. Even our own De Gea who is a nice guy, behaved like a twat during the penalties Spain lost.
He's English, mate.
But they don't like him which should make him a foreigners' hero.
It's a good quality to have. Being vocal was one of Schmeichel's (original) biggest qualities.
Anyone who plays against United is a twat by definition. Plus being in the same city as Liverpool FC (although being rivals) makes every Everton player twat by association.I’ll be watching out for any comments you make about him during Everton games
So, I withdraw my words.
Yeah Trippier seems alright. Also a United fan, from a family of reds.
Before this tournement I didn't mind the English team that much but here are a few reasons why I enjoyed seeing them losing :
- dislikable players (Kane, Ali, Stones, Henderson...)
- fewer United players than in the previous tournaments
- the arrogance of English media
- most English fans in France in 2016 were a classless bunch

You didn't see the way Pickford was trash talking to Mandzukic whilst he was lying on the floor? he took him out the game
The first part of your post makes no sense. We support a football club not a list of individuals.
I have no issues with anybody supporting United regardless of where they are from or who they support. I follow the NFL and support the Philadelphia Eagles, never been to Philly or America, I chose them as I knew I would need to follow a team to really get into NFL and thanks to the TV program it's always sunny in Philadelphia.
As for your 6 points. 1, 3 & 4, judge a whole nation based on a the action of a few? How ridiculous. So every Portuguese person would break into there OWN teams training ground and attack players? Because about 50 of them did it to Sporting Lisbon?
Point 2... National broadcasters being biased towards the nation they broadcast in? Go figure.
5.. Who is acting as if they are winners all the time? The team or the FANS who want to see there nation succeed?.. This was the first international tournament in years where it felt as if England where finally playing with pride and could go far.
6.. Again, it is an English based forum? What do you expect? Are you against the threads ridiculing City, Arsenal, Liverpool etc?
No one is asking / expects a Portuguese person to cheer for England, but as above your 'reasons' for rooting against England seem a bit flimsy eh?
The World Cup in 2026 will mark the 60 year anniversary. Hopefully they rerelease it’s coming home just a few weeks beforehand.
It will be rereleased when football comes home in 2020.
You’re being too generous! The “good debate” mainly involved me being drunk and borderline offensive. Still, I feel a little less guilty, now I’ve seen the much more mean-spirited stuff that’s followed. Never been a fan of kicking someone when they’re down so am not enjoying this thread at all in the last 24 hours.
We all love it really don't we?
Scotland/Wales/NI/ROI hate the English football team; and deep down we enjoy the fact that everyone hates us.

I do recall the Mandzukic chance toward the end of the second half, but the aftermath of the incident is nothing more than a blur as I was busy dealing with a minor heart-attack at that point. I'll take your word for it, though.
It is a fan based Irish forum about Manchester United. Expecting people here (who aren't from England) to support England cause of that is ludicrous.
Fair enough, however that wasn't my point. I even said AFTER that point I didn't expect him to support England.
I was answering the other posters point 6, which was - 6: All the laughs at created in this forum for other national teams
Why did Pickford mouth off to Mandzukic, who was clearly injured after their collision?
Well we all know who had the last laugh.

Yep, and England is an another national team. A national team which has more fans here than any other, but still, this isn't England's National Team forum, so no need to be upset that people are joking at football coming ... I mean England going home.
Where in any of my posts am I suggesting he can't take the mick though? His point was that this forum, which as you have stated is very multi-cultural, has post taking the mick out of other nations. My point was why is that a stick to beat England fans with? Clearly every other nation enjoys revealing in others losses..
The site owner is Irish
Ah, in that case I have misunderstood your point. Sorry!
You are the worlds bad guy. The schoolyard bully everybody hates you.
Haha no problem. As said, of course I am disappointed, but I have no problem with rival fans taking the mick.
I just felt the list of generalizations about English fans was a bit ridiculous!
I'm not even English but if you actively root against a team with like 4 United players in it then I really don't know what the feck are you doing and no amount of playing with words is going to change my mind.
With the Spurs core, is anyone really surprised England lost a lead and went out of the cup? Until England get the right winning mentality, they'll always be chokers. Need a City/Utd style mentality.
Also RLC should have come in for Alli.
Unpopular opinion but does anyone think Wilshere could have done a job off the bench?

Our colonial history doesn't help I guess but other countries have similarly poor records in that respect and face no where near the same hatred. We are seen as arrogant despite I think being one of the if not the most self deprecating country on earth. Yes we got a bit carried away with the whole it's coming home thing but I don't think anyone really thought we would win the thing. I certainly didn't anyway.
Jeez. . . . England attempting to score as Croatia celebrated.
Cringeworthy.
I've seen it all now.

Eh?
Croatians: "We wanted to beat the English because their media is so arrogant."
Croatian media: "England were knocked out by the future world champions."
Got to love a bit of old fashioned hypocrisy.

I'm sure he could have done a job, not necessarily a good one mind you.
