Thinking about how much change we've seen since Fergie's retirement - different players, different CEO, different managers, different assistants, different styles of football, different approach in the market - the only thing that's actually the same is the name of the club and the mighty stadium... But only a tiny fraction of any PL club's fans actually go to matches, so to most Utd fans, the name of the club is the only real, tangible constant throughout. Now, hypothetically speaking, imagine if rather than retiring, Fergie had moved to a different club, say Juventus, and immediately begun 'being Fergie' at Juventus - same style of football, same attitude on the touchline, same post match interview style, same way of dressing etc - and at the same time we were going through this dreary identity crisis that we are currently going through... I wonder how many Utd fans would slowly start morphing into Juve fans? In this day and age, where you can watch pretty much any team on Earth live online, and where managers having a 'brand of football' unique to themselves is more and more of 'a thing', could the day come when fans will follow managers as well as clubs? Or even more than clubs? After all, as we're seeing so clearly right now, a club is really just a name, a company. Whereas a manager is an actual personality of substance and real emotion. Are Mourinho and Guardiola the beginning of this phenomenon...? I bet you've got a favourite out of those two 'super-managers', right? And, as a neutral, whenever they play, regardless of what team they happen to be representing at the time, you root for the manager you 'support' out of them? What say you?

TelekineticBear! posted:an insanely good find this So, using the hypothetical 'Fergie at Juventus' analogy, you'd support Louis Van Gaal's United over Sir Alex Ferguson's Juventus? Would it definitely be that simple? Would it definitely be more loyal? For lots of fans, they supported Fergie as long as they supported United, and as I (probably superfluously) stated - one is alive and tangible and constant, and the other is really just a notion.

Folks, With the World Cup roster selection, the Donovan news, and the continuation of the send-off series (not to mention the fact that the tournament itself is fast approaching), we've seen an uptick in traffic in the News and Analysis forum. This is great, and we've got lots of good discussions going and more than enough news to digest collectively. With all this, however, we thought it best to remind posters of the stricter moderation in place in N+A and our zero-tolerance policy for personal attacks and/or trolling. News and Analysis is for good-natured, constructive discussion and for respectful differences of opinion. US Men is for more free-flowing fan banter--the touch of moderators is lighter there. Think of it like discussing soccer in a classroom versus discussing soccer back in your dorm room with your buds. We ask that posters engage constructively with each other while avoiding personal attacks, drive-by snark, and calling out posters individually or in groups (i.e., "fanboys," "haters," "apologists," etc.). We will also not tolerate angry rants, political soapboxing, or turning threads into confrontational discussions of other posters. Since there's going to be so much activity in the coming weeks, we're reinstating our zero-tolerance policy for personal attacks and trolling. We'll be issuing forum bans to folks who can't abide by our stricter posting standards. It's always a good idea to think before hitting the "post reply" button: would this post make someone want to throw a drink in my face or knee me in the crotch? If so, it's probably a post that would result in a ban. We're not trying to sterilize discussion entirely, of course. But posts such as "JK apologists are mouth-breathing losers who know nothing about soccer and can't cut their own food" won't fly. Neither will dropping by a thread just to lay turds like "such-and-such a player sucks major rear end totes lolz."* While drive-by follow-ups such as "me too," "lol/hahahaha," and silly gifs or images are not strictly trolling, they're also frowned upon. We're hoping to help make everyone's News and Analysis experience a positive one during this World Cup season. If you're looking for fan banter with more hands-off moderation, you can check out US Men. *Or however the kids talk these days.

Does Juan Agudelo have the most complete skill-set among all of our strikers?quote:I think Altidore has more tools, but Agudelo has a higher ceiling. If that makes any sense quote:i think the OP's original question is not about the current depth Chart (where agudelo is understandably not currently near the top) but about skill/ability in a General sense (where, while in form, agudelo is clearly near the top of the Player pool)...most refuse to distinguish between the two and want to heap blame on the guy for being the victim of international citizenship work Permit BS/questionable desision making(at 21 years of Age!), without anyone really having the full Story. quote:Juan Agudelo. Sometimes a player's zealous online backers can make one dislike him. quote:really disagree about his dribble. I have seen him on rare occasion make a great dribble, but it is not a consistently great nor even very good dribble. If he were a good dribbler (with his powerful accurate shot) he should have beaten a few defenders off the dribble and scored a few more during his sting in England. Great dribbling often goes hand in hand with a great first touch, which we both know he does not have. You want to see elite dribbling for a big man, look at Ibrahimavich, or for good dribbling, look at Dzecko, Rooney, or Higuian.

Florentino has reproduced the Zidanes and Pavones with that roster. Problem is that Real Madrid produces far too few decent Pavones. They have actually had to buy the Pavones at inflated prices because they are Real Madrid and all other clubs know their tendencies. The only two decent cantera players worth noting are Carvajal and Jese. What the hell happened? Real used to supply players to many clubs playing in La Liga. Now, not so much. Who should shoulder the blame? Florentino of course.

Thank you Jose!...In what's been a rotten week, heck a pretty piss-poor couple of seasons for Utd, in one night, you and one of your charmless incarnations of a football team have reminded me that even if Utd never win another trophy in their history, I'm glad that you didn't get the managers job at OT.........and before anyone points to DiMaria cheating, remember, he was under Jose's tutelage before he came here..........

This tale has been trotted out before but as a City fan having seen us lose away at Wycombe on a rainy Tuesday night, lose at home to Bury, walked out of Wembley 0-2 to Gillingham (I got back in), and comparing that to where we are now, I'm not just happy I'm ecstatic. We've won every domestic trophy on offer in the last four years, we're second and on Wednesday I get to take my two sons and two cousins to their first CL game in Barcelona, not expecting to win but just to enjoy the party. So, were not as good as we were, or should be, but perspective is all and given our long history of failure, and the fact you can't win every game every week, I'm pretty much as happy as I could be!
