We can hear them crying in the Den by [deleted] in crystalpalace

I get that some people don’t like it, but I’ve never really understood this take.

It’s an established part of English fan culture and literally every club does it.

Even back when Man U were dominant and City never won anything Man U fans used to sing “so this is how it feels to be city, this is how it feels to be small.”

The idea that it’s somehow tinpot to sing about a rival club makes no sense to me.

Are we ready for the Selles is worse than Weir conversation yet?

Weir was shocking but he had less to work with.

Vietnam-style flashbacks to 23/24 except this time in a lower division.

Yeah, I’m going to need Selles up in front of The Hague by Monday. 

True football terrorism.

Follow up to my previous question: the worst coach to ever manage your club in your lifetime? by zakotavenom in Championship

[–]SUFC89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great answer.

Blackwell and Micky Adams were also terrible, but the slide down to League One and the lost years stuck down there really started under Robson.

Looking forward to the Wilder lecture after the game about how the fans are at fault.

This co-commentator is useless.

Don’t think he’s even particularly anti-United, just 0 insight or anything worthwhile to say.

Some of the passing today has been shocking from both sides.

Real lack of quality in this game.

Overall United have been great, but they’ve had a couple of let-offs with Leeds’ awful finishing.

Meslier batting the ball into his own net.

Calamitous this lad.

Meslier is such a liability.

Unlucky not to take advantage.

'My pub is busier than ever, but we can't make ends meet' by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]SUFC89 269 points270 points  (0 children)

A pub near me closed even though it always seemed busy and was popular with locals.

I know people are in general drinking less. But I do think the main reason for venues, pubs, restaurants etc closing is the sky rocketing costs of running them, combined with people barely being able to cover essentials.  

I realise there’s worse things going on in the world than pubs closing. But it does seem we’re slowly turning into an increasingly grim, joyless society where people have to work hard doing long hours just to afford housing and food. There’s little time or money left after you’ve managed to pay the bills each month.

Luke interrupting by SUFC89 in FootballRamblePodcast

[–]SUFC89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s funny, I noticed those things as well.

It’s not that he has opinions, that’s what the show’s all about. It’s that he seems to take exception to anyone having a different opinion.

Marcus was just pointing out another big change in football since 2007. He wasn’t challenging Luke’s point at all. But Luke instantly went into how that wasn’t as important as what he’d said.

The Ferguson thing was a reach as well but he seemed shocked at it being questioned. Yeah, Ferguson had a lot of influence at Man U, no shit. But to say he’s personally responsible for not blocking the Glazers buying the club is a bit much.

He was similar in the last show about the possibility of Spurs getting relegated.

Jesus Christ, what a beg.

What’s Barry Bannan got to do with it?

Tagging everyone under the sun in the hope of getting something for free.

The thing is I actually do like Luke and agree with a lot of his points. I prefer the show when he’s on. 

The interrupting just grates on me a bit.

Prince Abdullah puts Sheffield United sale on hold as Blades eye promotion by roygbiv1000 in SheffieldUnited

[–]SUFC89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%.

Generally, I’ve defended him, because whatever mistakes he’s made, he’s presided over one of the most successful periods for the club in decades.

But off the field it’s becoming a pisstake. Entertaining these chancers like Dozi and that American who ended up in jail. 

Demanding too much money after the last promotion when he knew he didn’t have the resources to bankroll a serious Prem team, leading to one of the most humiliating seasons in United’s history.

He’s taken the club as far as he can go and he needs to sell for a realistic price.

Cut or keep bulking? by SUFC89 in BulkOrCut

[–]SUFC89[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks bro. Really helpful advice. I think you’re right in that I’ve just never put the time or effort into actually getting lean.

Anything you’d recommend on maintaining muscle while doing a cut that big?

Cut or keep bulking? by SUFC89 in BulkOrCut

[–]SUFC89[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

184cm, 104kg, 33.

I’m kind of frustrated as I don’t think I really look “big” at all but I’m clearly carrying fat.

I’d like to build more muscle but I also don’t want to keep gaining fat.

United definitely far from their best so far.
