The Manchester United Thread

Figured you, in particular, would appreciate this hard but enjoyable watch on a bona fide football, let alone Utd, legend. People think Bailly's special. This guy was something else among all his flaws.

Premier League World Special - Paul McGrath

Never knew Ferguson and Utd had tried to pay him off to retire early back in '89 when they wanted to be rid of his drinking problem. What a horrible practice. Thankfully he turned that down as the last 10 years he just got better and better without training and just tipping up of a Sat'day and dominating. Freak of Nature.

Thanks Scouse, I'll have a look at that as soon as I get a chance.
I had an electrical concession in a department store in Dublin in the early 00's which had an alley out the back separating the main building from the stock rooms. Bumped into Paul out the back once, sitting with some wino's, horsing down a bottle of red and a naggin of vodka.
Chap barely knew he was there.
Very sad day for me.
 
yeah mcgrath was a rock,i really miss the old school type defenders.used to love watching italian football in the early 90s onwards with baresi,maldini,nesta,cannavaro,costacurta,ferrara....could go on forever
 
I've scouse mates messaging me already, desperate for United to slip up tonight, just so they can have something to smile about this weekend.

Hate playing Stoke, but let's hope we can put a decent shift in and come away with the win.

#MUFC u18s:Today's team sheet from a very wet Derby Training Centre




Finished 0-2 to Utd gls from Gomes and Burkart. Complete dominance of a display. Baars, Barlow, Burkart ripping them to shreds at will. Gomes running the show. And Oconner just mopping up anything.

Not so much today as it's a short drive and we're in the car, but some of the best trips home the train come out of getting walloped. Like it's pointless being narked so you forget the football, have a good scoop the ale, a good laugh and make the most of the end of your day out.

God how horribly sad for you to experience first hand.

He seems to of come out the other side now and is doing a whole bunch better which is great to hear. Seems a real nice, humble fella' who was, IMHO, one of the best British (I know. Irelands not Britain per se but indulge me) defenders of all time. Those years at Villa when he didn't train at all through the week with his knees, got bladdered all week, then tipped up and was the best player on the park every Sat'day said it all.

Tremendous, top class defender and leader of men. A genuine legend who gets sadly overlooked because he hasn't got the medal haul and never courted the spotlight. And then conversely you have an absolute loathsome shithouse of a man like John Terry who's lorded by the English media and Neanderthals that follow the National side.

Conpletely ****** up but says it all.

Pogba close again from a corner after the Swansea game just can't quite score from one
 
LB is still a weakness in this squad, as we all know. Darmian just isn't as assured in that position as Blind defensively imo. Hopefully Shaw can come back soon and reclaim it but if not, might need to go out in January and get one.
 
What was Jese doing? Breaks so well, then runs across the pitch going nowhere and gives a terrible ball to Allen.

Well that was completely against the run of play.
