Live chat once again exposed some of our fans to ahow they are just like the players they despise.
Storming off when losing like spoilt kids.
'I'm not watching anymore'
'Im sick if this'
Just acting like the players they don't like and call out.
Supporters who support when they want can't be critical of players that play when they want, imo your cut from the same cloth as the players.
Fickle unreliable and not worth having.
If you can't support when it's tough you can't expect players to play for you when it gets tough.

Sad I didn't join the chat. Too early here. Seems like I missed out on some good entertainment.

Booing Dalit as he was subbed was so classy I thought.
09 Nov 2026 11:06:56
Ok ken so fans can't be angry?
09 Nov 2026 11:58:08
What a load of nonsense TW. Everyone's different and not everyone has the same tolerance level.
You should've seen the Streford End yesterday. There were a lot of disgruntled fans who have had enough of these players and owners, and they showed it.
It's an emotional game! That's why we spend so much time watching and talking about it.

The analogy doesn't work. We're not being paid to be fans.
09 Nov 2026 12:58:26
Nor do most pay to be fans either. The analogy is sound.
Fans are flakey. Players are flakey. Neither are worse than the other.
Fans don't pay the players so its none of their business what they earn.
No issue with voicing frustration no issue with being frustrated but don't moan about players giving up when you give up as a fan because your just as unrelieable just as flakey and give up very easily.

2 toms all players are different and react differently to adversity just like the fans.
09 Nov 2026 14:31:38
Is that the end of the lesson, Reverend Ken?
09 Nov 2026 14:56:28
Just stating the obvious fizz.
Fans who walk out on the team or give up watching are just as bad as the players and imo have no right to critisise the players manager or anybody else because they are just as flaky.
When the going gets though they would rather watch a grand prix or the likes.
Ive no issue with fans giving up ar walking iut as long a they don't critisise any club employee for doing the same. They are kindred spirits one in the same.
09 Nov 2026 15:08:38
The fans do pay the players. They do pay the owners. They do pay the board. They do pay the employees. The fans have more power than they give themselves credit for.
09 Nov 2026 15:14:40
No they don't pay the players board or anybody else.
Match day revenue wouldn't pay the players weekly payroll db what land are you living in?
Matchday going fans pay more towards the club than most and some fans don't pay 1 penny towards the club overheads don't be talking rubbish.

2 screens ken, 2 screens, technology eh?

I was paying $600yr + $120yr here in the US for 2 subscriptions that enabled me to watch all EPL games + another $120 to watch European football. I cancelled the $600 one. Why would I want to pay that much just to endure a continual stream of stress and disappointment? I'm too old for it and it's not good for my health.
The folks who spent £650-£1200 on season tickets are not so lucky. They can just not show up. They can walk out early, but if they cancel their tickets (which I'm not sure they can do in midseason), they're done. Someone else will take their seat. Such is their reward.
As far as I'm concerned they've paid their money and they're entitled to show their displeasure, frustration and distaste for our owners any way they want, as long as it's legal. Let's face it their loyalty is being abused. There's no way a club like ours, with its revenues, should be anywhere near the drop zone, even with Michael Carrick as manager.

I think that's an incredibly weak technical argument. Nobody seriously thinks a supporter buys a match ticket and that exact £50 then gets transferred into a player's wage packet. The supporter pays Manchester United, and the club pays its employees, including the players, out of its overall finances.
Manchester United generated £160.3m in matchday revenue in 2024/25, with total revenue of £666.5m. That's hardly an insignificant contribution.
Supporters attending matches are therefore generating revenue for the very organisation responsible for paying the players. Trying to claim they have no financial contribution towards players' wages because the money isn't directly ring-fenced for salaries is just splitting hairs. By that logic you could make the same argument about virtually every individual source of club revenue.
09 Nov 2026 21:41:43
Yeah but they're being paid 6 figure salaries, per week, to at least try and do the basics.
And you're saying fans can't get a bit emotional when we sit 18th.
10 Nov 2026 04:47:56
I said the fans. Not the match day going fans.
You will never understand what I mean Ken, too indoctrinated into their world, so not wasting my time.
10 Nov 2026 07:37:52
2 toms everybody is entitled to be frustrated but storming off or not showing up because we are not playing well and winning is childish imo.
The club is not finished despite what the over emtional supporters post on here. That's hperbole in the extreme.
10 Nov 2026 08:22:33
Your opinion is important to you, Ken. Not always necessarily to others.
