You can say that again.

The only positive thing I can find is I may actually win a Broncos Forums fantasy football game, which would double my wins for the season!

Always looking for the silver lining, eh?

On weekends where orange and blue linings, not to mention red linings are a bit faint, one has to look to the silver. As long as that silver doesn't have any black mingled in amongst it of course.

If any one wonders why there is a sudden influx of Green and Gold scarfs and colours at United games all of a sudden. This is why.

The thing that I have noticed particularly obvious about the whole Glazer takeover has been how good the Glazers have been at dividing the fans.

Even amongst my friends there are pro FC / Anti FC / Not A Penny More / Match Tickets Only & no pies e.t.c but the one thing that obviously unites (excuse the pun) all of us is our need to get rid of the ******s.

I honestly do not believe for one minute that it is possible to get everyone to agree to anything, as has been shown here, but one think is for sure we all hate the Glazers. Unfortunately because we have different ways of showing it, and different ideas it will/has got very diluted and this is a major blow to everyone except the Glazers.

I think scarves/hats/badges etc are a good idea, alright it's not very radical but it is something that realistically could be adopted by everyone from the 'terrorist bomb the ********' section to the 'no pies inside' protestors.
One thing the chants inside OT this week did achieve should not be underestimated, and that is the fact that a lot more people were showing discontent than we imagined. Allright it's easy to chant but it's easy to wear a scarf/hat/badge/flag as well.

Now this bit might prove slightly controversial and it may sound like I am taking the piss but the big problem with the scarf/hat/badge/flag idea is that it is impossible to distinguish people who are wearing them and who are not. I therefore suggest that all anti glazer items be easily identifiable by making them a set colour (color for any Americans lurking).
My suggestion for this is Green/Gold of the old strip. This would make any anti glazer supporter stand out and a sea of green/gold could never go un-noticed on TV.
Also even thinks like green/gold cards or flyers of the back pages of fanzines (we would have to have a word with the mags about this) could be used to signify our dislike of the *****.
And I doubt it is possible for anyone to be ejected for wearing a green/gold scarf.

It mught be a shit idea, but if we can get ONE ******* thing to unite all of us then at least we have a start. I would gladly redo a section of the site in this colour and explain to a few thousand people what it means when they see anyone wearing this colour.

It's a visual impact, something that we have been severely lacking. And who knows, once people start to see how many people actually are opposed to this they may start being slightly more pro-active.

* As a side note if we ever played against Norwich it might get confusing, but **** it.
** We considered black etc but it's hardly noticable on TV or amongst the red/black that people currently have.
*** Let's go one step at a time. Get the people wearing colours who give a ****. If we later want to set off g/y flares, throw g/y scarves or paint the megastore g/y then that is another question for another day.

If you have a green/gold hat, scarf, badge, dog or child then you ******* hate glazer.

Love United Hate Glazer

Anyone else like to turn the clock back a decade or so in the Premiership?
I can't help but think that these big time foreigner owners taking over our League has made things worse.
I mean, all the money and fancy big name players was fun to start with.
But, now, I don't know...seems to me that the soul has been ripped out of the league somehow..it doesn't feel like it belongs to the fans anymore.
Then again, I might not be the best judge right now. What's happening at Liverpool is enough to cloud anyone's view!

I bet every Liverpool fan wants to turn the clock back a decade
Seriously though if it meant an end to these owners destroying our game and treating clubs as playthings or pig troughs then I would do it in a heartbeat.

You say all the money and big names? Only two clubs have benefitted so far from the influx in ownership. Chelsea and city. No one else. Mark my words as well. Chelsea and city will be wishing they were never touched when the respective owners get killed or get bored and leave their plaything in the shit.
Look at the other clubs though. Forget United and Liverpool as we're well documented. The following clubs have been affected by rogue owners just off the top of my head, I'm sure there are plenty more.

Portsmouth
Leeds
Southampton
Newcastle
West Ham
Notts County
Stockport County
Luton Town
Hearts
QPR
Derby

Yet without fail fans welcome the prospect of a few players joining the club and literally bend over for these owners. The only ones who didn't were United fans. Twice. The ironic thing with this is that if we hadn't protested against Sky taking us over we would have walked all over football. Without blowing our own trumpet we deserve a lot of credit for that rather that the shit we get. Glory hunting part timers who would disappear when the success stops? (I don't think so check who had the highest average attendance in England when we got relegated and who had it when we were promoted) etc etc. Then when we protest the second time we fail and get lumbered with £800m worth of debt

I am hopeful though. This Green and Gold campaign has brought us back to life. I went to my first game at OT since Glazer took over in 2005 on Saturday with my little lad. I swore I would not step foot in OT until they had gone but my son was bugging me about going and the pressure is being cranked up on the Glazers so I decided it was time to go back and at the same time introduce watching United live into my son's life. Best decision I have ever made. He's hooked already wanting to know when we can go back. This alone as given me the energy again to fight for my club so there is a club for my boys to go and watch and hopefully their children.

I'm waffling now but I really think that the Glazers are on borrowed (no pun intended) time if we can keep this up. There is a movement of anger gathering pace at OT. Here's a couple of videos from Saturday. Bear in mind that only limited green and gold stock was available and was sold out by 1pm. Lots more should be evident over the next couple of weeks.

First one's mine




Same again tomorrow against city

Only 2 days to go to the opening game

Come on Reds

Here we go, here we go, here we go!

Grr's @ above post :P

What do you think of the CL draw Manchesterbronco?

Very happy with ours. Should go through no problems.

Valencia are nowhere near as good as they were. Bursaspor shouldnt cause any issues.

Excited about Rangers

Now I'm not a football thug by any means but I hope that Rangers come to Manchester and try to repeat what they did in Manchester in 2008 for the UEFA Cup final because they will be in for a rude awakening if they do. United's firm have been waiting for this draw and I'm looking particularly forward to hearing that they got beat on and off the pitch. Their actions meant that the GMP stopped the parade when United won the European Cup in 2008 and a lot of people are very bitter about that.

Hey guys.

My team is Liverpool. I met a boy from Scotland that likes them. I am glad Gerrard is staying. Now hopefully he doesnt knock up any girls! LOL!

Amended for you

I thought we were going to do and Everton on you and snatch a draw from the jaws of victory, but I had a feeling in my blood that Berbatov was going to come back to terrorise us and he did. Dimitar Bugger-off!

All credit- three great goals by him - and the 2nd reminiscent of a certain Welsh player now managing Fulham, who used to specialise in that kind of thing.
