Like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho and Pele and Deco and blaaaaa
I thought Uniteds defensive problems were put behind them but we've returned to the defensive howlers of December/January.
Fellaini scored a good volley but he was given way too much space and Pienaar just walked the ball into the net. Evra was nowhere he should have been defensively either. De Gea had no chance with any of the goals
Our attackers couldn't have done any more. Rooney, Welbeck and Nani were playing well and Scholes was running the show. SAF made the Jones substitution at the wrong time. He should have put him on and shut up shop right after United scored their fourth.
Today was a bottle job. We now have to go to City and Park the biggest bus in existence. Then we have to hope Newcastle do a job on them. And then we have to best Swansea and Sunderland. I can't see any of this happening.

That's true, but it's something so small I can't imagine why people would care the slightest bit.
I'm glad you got the joke
It was either a funny jab at Liverpool fans (or me in particular), or hilariously hypocritical. Funny either way.
Scholes didn't have the best of games defensively. Several marking errors in the box.
no Young > no pen.
City to win 4-1
^^ defensively yes, but at that point we needed a goal and it wasn't coming from Jones. Looking forward to Monday.

I don't like Chicharito either. Not sure why, I guess other players do have their nicknames on the shirt but there's just something about it that irks me. I don't like the fact that Iniesta wears "A. Iniesta" either, why not just Iniesta? The most annoying one is Sanchez wearing "Alexis" though, that's some bullshit.
What about Kun Aguero?
I don't mind the Alexis one. Sanchez is a very common hispanic name.
Indeed, I can already the ad with red and blue montages of goals with requiem for a dream playing over the top of it

John Terry should change his shirt name to "He Hate Me".

Didn't they refuse some other players nickname on the jersey right around the time they accepted Chicarito? I remember something like that annoying the shit out of me, other than that : I don't give a shit.
I don't like Ruiz for Fulham having "Bryan".

Chicharitos is a spanish food.
Also known as chicharrones depending on the zone.

Hmm, well I love Kun so I guess I forgo that one. Also, the "Kun" is cool so maybe that's got something to do with it.
But also, he's been Kun Aguero for his whole career. I guess just like Ronaldinho was Ronaldinho and Kaka, Kaka etc. Players like Sanchez just changed randomly.
That said Chicharito has worn Chicharito for his whole career too (I think?).
Tbh, I have no idea, just a case by case basis lol
José Mourinho

After the Manchester derby there's only 2 games left, yes?
Giovanni Von Bronckhourst started wearing "Gio" while at Barca.
Suarez should put El Pistolero on his shirt, right, guys?
"Glue sniffer" was rejected.
Sergio instead of busi and xavi instead of hernandes, David villa instead of villa. Pedro instead of Rodriguez. Dani alves instead of alves,What's your point

Yep.
And as much as next wear is a "title decider" the City game at Newcastle and United's at Sunderland are two games in which dropped points are very possible.

So many more reasons to hate BarcaSergio instead of busi and xavi instead of hernandes, David villa instead of villa. Pedro instead of Rodriguez. Dani alves instead of alves,What's your point
Seriously though, those guys have worn those names for their whole career, I think in my mind that has something to do with it. Busquets should wear Busquets though, it's more unique than Sergio. Costs less to get it printed though
Maybe it's a Barca thing, like when players arrive they are given tests in diving, imaginary card waving, ref intimidation, etc. and if they fail to be dirty enough at those Barca decide to give them stupid nicknames on their shirts to make up for it.

Does anybody have a longer name than Stracqualursi on a jersey?
What. The. Fuck.
Why do we have to go to City and park the bus? We're not that sort of team. You think we are not good enough to win at City? If you do, you should stop calling yourself a United fan. I fully expect us to go out there and attack City right from the get-go because we are the fucking reigning champions and we are not going to give up the title without a hell of a fight.
And you also don't think we can beat two mid-table teams?
It's one fucking draw, people, and we are still six points ahead at the top of the table. Get some perspective for fuck's sake.
