Rooney didn't even play in our 1-1 draw at Shakhtar; he was neither in the starting line up or on the bench.
We offered nothing away at Sociedad until Rooney came off, RVP and Young came on and we missed a pen and had a few chances.
He was good at home against Sociedad and in both Leverkusen games. He was not the only reason we qualified, and this is just more evidence to put on the growing case file that you have the shittest opinions since Frygate 2k13

Having grown up in and around Coventry I can't relate to this. If any Cov fan did say they supported another team it was always in the foreign leagues. Although there was somebody who used to sit in front of me at home games who used to wear different shirts every match. He once wore a Leicester shirt to a Coventry game. Brave lad.
so nothing important
God, tell me about it. I go back home and get a taste about once a year (I live in Japan now) and it's pure bliss. One of these days I'll convince the lady friend to move back with me.

Well assuming Chelsea and United are the favourites for their ties, and Dortmund and Bayern are for theirs
That's two each in the quarter finals. And three Spanish teams. And one French.
and no italian #injustica
Yeah, it's odd that it's the same country I think, but I guess it could give you a tad more impetus to watch the PL (if I'm stretching for an argument).

Palace vs Man Utd is going to be such an intriguing match
Will Pulis look at their attacking wealth and set up for full defense?
Will he look at their weakness and go for the win?
The answer to that will say a lot about how this Man Utd team is currently viewed by other managers, and whether there is any semblance of a fear-factor left. Even with Mata, RVP and Rooney back, teams seem to be going into your games thinking a win is very doable.

Yeah
Teams go into matches against us expecting to AT LEAST draw now. There's no fear factor left.
We're too predictable for teams to be worrying about Mata, Rooney, RVP. They know how we utilise them, let alone the wingers.
To be fair, it would make no difference.
Bayern and Dortmund are known quantities that everyone accounts for. Arsenal and City (the two teams from the EPL to probably go out), aren't being knocked out by Mickey Mouse teams, they're being knocked out by Bayern and Barcelona.

I've never understood why people have to support a individual team to watch a sport. Most people in the UK that watch the NFL always seem to have a team which they follow for some arbitrary reason (they were the first team I saw, etc). It's simply not necessary. Watching United lose every week is impetus enough to watch the EPL.
epic goal, and one of the most memorable celebrations I've ever seen
UNITED WAYNE SUPREME
JUST BEND THE KNEE ALREADY
I really fucking enjoyed that no doubt.
Almost made me want a Rooney kit after the celebration. Got a blank one instead.
get out and don't come back

Shinned it
FW is a bit rubbish without Jimbo, the other guy just isn't as funny or good at knitting it together.
I think the same.
Euro Football Show seemed kind of awkward at times too.

Its weird because aside from Liverpool and City, who obviously have a fuck-tonne of bitter resentment based on location and history, I'm not entirely sure why the likes of Norwich hate you aside from boredom with your sustained success.
Success and they feel the need to.
So do you find say, Southampton vs Everton a difficult watch too?
Well I fucking hate Norwich back
Anonymous foreskins, fuck off to the Championship so teams like Forest and Derby can come up pls

And half of them support United.
I think a lot of hate comes from people that they live with glory-supporting United whilst they support their cities team.

Napoli (for one reason only, 2 if you include Reina), Atletico, Valencia, Bayer (for one reason only), Dortmund, Almeria (lol) and Sporting are the only foreign clubs I like. I also prefer Ajax not to win the league, just to spice things up a bit.
And my like of all of them is subject to change within a single moment, or sacking

It seems a pretty universal thing to support the underdog so that the most successful clubs are disliked by neutrals isn't particularly surprising. It's not hatred. I don't think people really care that much.

I think we may have driven that Norwich fan away by constantly calling them a nothing-club. Perhaps there are a million Fulham fans lurking, unwilling to get involved
United are the most widely supported side in the country, so maybe those Norwich fans know United fans personally which builds resentment.
Makes sense as an explanation.
But that's possibly because I do feel connected towards those teams in many ways (such as exposure, competition etc).

OP says there was a guy called Eanan, I'm sure there was another one though who posted semi-regularly last season
Dude he had the logo as his avatar. Posted quite a bit when they got promoted, way to scare him away.
Swans guy used to post a lot too and had the swan as his avatar and now he barely posts.
There is a lot of people who glory support us, but that doesn't warrant the fact why they clubs fill their stadiums etc when we play.
They care enough to do the Poznan when we lost the league to City when their own club was doing shite. They care enough to fill the stadium when it's been half empty all season.

I don't think finishing 4th in the league is a good enough reason to switch allegiance.
I only watched the two matches against Neverkusen and a few minutes of another one I don't recall anything of
He was massive against Neverkusen tho, they couldn't contain him. A player like that is always good to have in your squad

As for this, the list of clubs are relatively similar. Fuck Napoli, Leverkusen, Valencia, Almeria.
I like Atletico because they're fun to watch and they provide an alternative to the big two, same for Dortmund (plus Klopp). Sporting I like because of Ronaldo. Juve/Roma/Fiore because of their kits, their managers, some of their players and the way they play.
I also want St Etienne to win in France because their initials spell ASSE.
:lol
Oh I remember Eanan. Can't remember any Norwich fans though
sorry guys
come back
my club is shit too
SHarris and pulsemyne were both posting last night weren't they?
10 days off from football and a nice vacay in Dubai, United going to sparkle against Crystal Palace. Were talking crisp and quick passing, through the middle at that. Goals galore. The return of Shinji Kagawa.
Then I snap out of the daydream and return to the 0-0 scoreline, and countless poor crosses. Palace get a late goal on a set piece as Pulis upstages Moyesy. I contemplate burning my United kits and selling my soul to the devil and supporting Bayern. I stay strong, and curl into the fetal position reminiscing of better times until we play again.

Last night sure, I can't seem to remember much of them posting before, after or during Swans games.
it is when we finish seventh

god i hate you
It depends; he is a very good player, but we have two players better than him in the positions he plays. They might not be as versatile, but RVP is better up front and Mata is better behind the striker (even if he hasn't shown that yet).
I am totally against giving a bloated, 34 year old Wayne Rooney who has continually disrespected our club £300k a week.
