It does feel like mourinho has sabotaged you over the last week or so tbf
You were riding a wave, then he played for a draw against a team in dismal form, and came out with some weird triple-briefing, each of which contradicted the others and made things seem like a bit of a mess

By sohois Go To PostI don't know if you've noticed, but these days the majority of posters just avoid responding to you altogether, because they know you won't talk in good faith. It's all very well defending your team and being optimistic about their quality, but compare your own responses to the likes of Meier for City, Odd or myself for Liverpool, Usho for Tottenham. None of these posters get excessively wound up by negative opinions. They do not have swathes of the forum ignoring them. They do not have people constantly shit talking them.The majority of posters ignore me because they don't like the truth or couldn't prove me wrong and got annoyed. I don't insist that anybody agrees with me, but if people are going to challenge me then they better back it up. I can't say it any other way, multiple posters post their opinions as facts and say United are shit and provide zero proof, i post about United's injuries and my opinion that these injuries are costing United games and people dog pile in and demand proof. So it's got to the point when people try and pass their opinions as facts i tell them to prove me wrong.
I honestly believe that no one would have an issue with your arguments if you didn't insist that people agree with you. Are you Robert Aumann? Because in real life, people can agree to disagree

I support Barcelona Sporting Club (my hometown team) and FC Barcelona (the team that made me fall in love with the sport in the early 90s).

Major lol at ManU losing to Huddersfield Town. Anything that brings Mourinho misery nourishes me.
Incredible opening post. Welcome fam
By NinjaFridge Go To PostThey do today.If Huddersfield were the better team they would have had more than 22% possession and five shots. They won because they scored twice against the run of play against a team with its spine crippled by injuries.

By Doicare Go To PostThe double standards here are hilarious. Constantly every game when United lose or play badly several posters will post about how 'shit' United are and ignore every other factor. When there are injuries which are facts and i give my opinion which is that they are costing United points people can't handle what i say because it doesn't fit their narrative. So people are free to say United are shit and ignore everything else, that's fine no 'proof' required but when i post detailing all the bad injuries and my opinion that they have affected the game i must some how back up what i say. So funny.
Do you recognize how this is unreasonable, and why this will cause others to treat you with bad faith in disagreements?

People don't like my opinions because it doesn't fit their narrative so in an arrogant and/or insulting way they dismiss them as if it's fact that they are right and i am wrong, yet they provide nothing to back up what they say and at the same time demand that i post proof. In this very thread we've had a whole afternoon of people posting their opinion that United are shit and i did not reply to single one of them nor did nobody else challenge them. I posted my opinion that United have been crippled by injuries again and i get the usual brain dead insulting response. That's a double standard.

And of course people will just dismiss your opinions, this is the internet after all. In fact, most conversation about football will probably follow such a direction. Imagine, if you can, that you are in the pub and a nearby man says: "I think United will finish 5th this year."
Do you respond with: "Fuck you, you ignorant hick, how dare you insult this immortal team, we're not finishing 5th, you're finishing 5th you fuck, you haven't even considered all the injuries we have, plus we have all the possession and the shots all the time so you're wrong dumbass, bet you didn't think of that did you you're too wrapped up in your own narrative and you don't consider the facts which say that you're wrong, to be expected from a moron, I suppose only enlightened thinkers like me can see the wisdom of Man Utd's current position, that's why we've won the league every year for the past century, you stupid cunt why don't you provide some evidence for this opinion, like how about a detailed table consisting of every touch in the box ever made by any footballer anyway but you can't can you, because you're just some idiot without any proof and that's why I'm right and you're wrong, also your friends are stupid and your face is stupid and i hate you."
Or do you respond with: "Nah mate, that's crap. I reckon they're good for a title challenge."
This thread is the pub. The majority of users are able to respond in the second case. You seem stuck to the first case.
By noal Go To PostWhy aren't they playing him? Have I missed something?Basically he missed the Euros due to injury, and he's been on the outside looking in since then. The coach doesn't want to mess with what got him 2nd to Spain. Doesn't help that the u17s have a lot of talented players. I thought he had a bad performance against Japan, but then so did a lot of the players.
Pitch isn't too friendly for the technical players either.
Mourinho is poison to any club, the very second things start to deteriorate, he pushes it all right down the garbage disposal. He’s charmingly candid at times and when he’s relaxed he’s a good character, but it seems with every new job his fuse gets shorter and shorter.
Think United should move on come next summer and he should manage a country instead of a club for a while.

The funny thing about your post is your first example of somebody having a conversation is how OTHER posters talk to me, i don't talk to them in that way so maybe you should have a word with them.

I didn't reply to any of them and posted my opinion that United were losing and playing poorly because they are crippled by injuries. The only response i got was yet another insulting brain dead reply, i've been down this road many times before where nobody can back up what they say to me yet continue to reply as if they're right so i cut to the chase and ask them to prove me wrong... which they can't. I've done nothing wrong.

Yeah, I heard there was some kind of fallout from him pulling out of the Euros. He is still putting in good performances for United though so hopefully he pushes on and next season he should be looking at getting a first team look in.
The only thing I’ll say to doicare is that all of us feel hard done by bad luck and injuries, but most of us aren’t obnoxiously hostile about it and don’t believe bad luck and injuries invalidate results like you do.
Otherwise, back to tuning out the loud noises.

I don’t think United should cut the cable now, I meant it when I said at the end of the season. His behavior this week goes beyond just a single bad result, it’s the same ugly Mourinho that rears it’s head when things aren’t all going to plan.
You just don’t want to keep someone like that around long term.
Take Marco Silva before Arsenal or Chelsea do :P
I think you are just pouncing on the chance to snipe at him. We act like whatever Castles write lets us know what is happening inside his mind and inside the club. This idea that he must go is ridiculous on the back of this result or even past history. The team has improved, we are still doing well in both competitions even with a very recent, very short run of bad form. No one expects him to be around a decade, but we are not even halfway into his contract and we are already acting like he's turned the team into the Titanic.
If you watch the press conference Mou was actually defending the players when it came to mistakes and praising the opposition, but a couple of tweets and suddenly he's ready to burn it to the ground and there's a riot in the dressing room.

I've done nothing wrong.As I and many others have explained to you, the reactions to your posts are as a result of your presence over many years. If someone posted the same things as you but were entirely new to this forum, people would not relentlessly shit on them and ignore them, they would attempt to engage with them. Hell, for that matter if you simply resorted to posting your opinions and not calling out others all the time I would hope no one would start attacking you and I would 'have a word' with them if someone did so.
Just look at this sentence:
The facts of this afternoon are dozens of posters talking shit about United and many others voicing their opinion that they are not good enough.
You appear to take shit talking United as a personal insult. No one is attacking you when they call United shit. For that matter, most people aren't really attacking Man Utd, they're just taking the opportunity to score points.
And let's look at your first post this afternoon:
United's season being ruined by injuries again but nobody will admit it, it'll be the usual stream of brain dead posts stating United are just shit innit.Maybe you didn't actually reply to anyone directly, or call out anyone in your post, but you do immediately attack other posters by calling anyone who disagrees brain-dead.
Since it seems difficult for you to understand, let me reword your first post to show you how it can be done in a non-combative manner:
"United's season being ruined by injuries again; I don't think we're shit, we would win this game with a first XI"."
"That's too kind doicare, we're just playing rubbish today and I think this is a result of the team not being good enough overall. "
"United have their weaknesses, but I can't believe we wouldn't beat Huddersfield with everyone fit. And it seems to me that we have more players injured than the average team. I think United are more than good enough to win the league with everyone fit."
"Injuries are a fact of life. United haven't done enough to build a squad that can survive the season, even if we have worse injury luck."
"Fine, but I just don't agree with that"
Look at this pleasant interaction. No one is insulting each other, each person is just trading their opinion. I would bet quite a large amount that I could post this exact idea about Liverpool and no one would call me a "worthless cumstain" or add me to their ignore lists. There is nothing to stop you from voicing your opinion and having people treat that opinion with respect, except for your own attitude. This is largely a friendly, welcoming place, which is why the community was able to survive being shut down on another forum. In addition, you are far from the worst element of this thread, compared to the likes of Don't Laugh who just broke down mentally. Hence why people still take the time to respond to your posts in spite of your ill tempered behaviour over the years. If you extended the same patience to Slaent that we have extended to you, you would be some kind of fucking Saint. Just make a small effort in this.
