Scholes and Ferguson are the ultimate Pro's, never want the spotlight, never in the papers for anything but football. It hasn't really sunk in yet that we will never see SAF sat in the dugout ever again.

Sorry I couldn't be here Walter Jr - watched it down the United pub (yeah we have one of those in Cornwall).

Lmao, I must be the biggest Fletcher mark going. He was, in many ways, similar to 2013 Carrick a few years ago. I'm sure Fergie ashley once stated that Fletcher was his most important player.

Yep, Fletcher was hella' underrated. He was incredible in his prime in terms of interceptions and stuff.

I'm not even a United fan but I wish I was there, everything has just been perfect for his sendoff.

Can't hate such a wrong post more than this, but cba going down that road.

Cute, I'm guessing you hate the inflated resources bit (feel free to show me you didn't outspend most clubs pre Chelsea takeover). Also the part about Richards which I wasn't actually fully serious with although we were regarded as one of the top teams of the pre/early P/L era in the early 90s so it is plausible if we pushed on we could have been more of a challenge than a whimper. Not sure how my opinion can be wrong either but as you say can't be arsed progressing that route.

So wish I was there too. The tickets were like a grand though I heard lol.

Nice touch with Steve Bruce handing the trophy over as well with Robson I think it is. Everything today is so nostalgic and beautiful.

SAF has an average net spend of £14 million per year. Oh no, shoot us dead. That's about the same money a club like Everton, Villa, etc would spend.

You don't criticize a spending club based on JUST outgoing money. That's what most fans seem to misunderstand. If you look at City's and Chelsea's NET spend, you will see a HUGE difference. But hey, it's trophy time.

i kind of agree with cole and seabs im yet to meet a man u 'fan' that has been to old trafford i just don't understand why you would support a team but don't watch them

A Middlesbrough legend handing the title over to the GOAT, this is so great.

If there's a Turkish United fan who knows more about the history, youth, management, etc. than a United fan from greater Manchester, and watches every single game he can on TV/stream (even the shit worthless games), who would the real fan be? This argument is SO flawed, and it's really lame that "football fans" always bring it up. Success brings fans, get over it. Why does it matter to anyone lmao?

 

[Robbie Coletrain]

Like I said if Boro had the kind of money United did I'd want them shot if they didn't spend it tbf.

Loved the reception of the players. Here we gooo

 

[Crayo]

Imagine being SAF right now. Wonder how emotional he is.

Waited for this day ever since City stole it from us :tough:

Brilliant touch letting Ferguson lift it. I feel like a United fan atm lmao, I'm giddy.
