FC United

[shinytheelf]

Woo! FC!

I am a fully paid over FC fan, and I wanna here every ounce of goodwill from everybody who remotely likes football and is on this forum.

The fact that it's got United (ooh, dirty word) in it's name doesn't mean it's a bad club, so even you City or Scouse fans can say what you think (you poor misguided souls(joking, joking))

Even if you hate the idea, tell us. I wanna here everybody's opinions

Actually, I have a question:

Was there really any need?

With Wimbledon, they were moved from their true home to Milton Keynes and were renamed. As far as I can see, Manchester United are in the same situation as last year...but with new players...Glazer's hardly been the worst thing for that club has he?

Also, I'd like to know how ol' FC United of Manchester are doing in whatever division they're in. I assume they're top.

Thats the away fans...notice the fact it's not United scoring :P As much as it pains me to defend them, of course ;)

And yes...I had a look, and they're top of their division by a good 15-ish points, but have about 3 games in hand on anyone else.

How many leagues are they below conference north, then?

[shinytheelf]

i do belive that they are in the second division of the north west league. I think (note:think) once they get promoted from the first division, they go into the conference.

Also, Dingbat, the reason for the outrage is that business of this kind should have not part in football. Glazer is like a kid with toys; he buys em' looks after them for a while, then leaves em under the bed to get dusty. The other thing is MUFC had always been a democracy, the supporters club. But now, it is China compared to it's relative UK. Principles, Dingbat, principles

MUFC had been getting stale anyway. The ticket prices were too high and the games were sub-par. I think that the reason for starting a new club was partly that Glazer was the straw that broke the donkey's back.

Another thing, i was a little drunk when i first posted, but i'm glad some of you got the general idea

Come on FC!

As everyone knows on here, I am a die-heard Manchester United fan. I have no bad feelings towards FC United, in fact, I even have their page bookmarked so I can puruse thei rise.

I was against the takeover as much as any United fan at the time, but it is still Manchester United being represented by the players and the management and it seems that they arn't strppaed for cash as everybody thought. Yes, the results haven't been what we wanted, but if it wasn't for Chel$ki we would be having a good season. Comparisons to this time in the 1994-2003 seasons show we are doing as well - if not better - than title winning seasons, so it isn't even that bad.

I dislike the Glazers for putting United Manchester United in this much debt, but I will follow them until the end of one of us.

Finally, I hope that doesn't make me a glory hunter any more. ¬_¬

I love the insult Glory Hunter. Someone once called me a glory hunter...being a Liverpool fan who started supporting them in the early 90's...and EVERYONE knows that the 90's was Liverpools golden era.

*Cough*

Anyways...I'd love to see FC United do well and get themselves in the Conference. I can imagine what it would be like, and every FC United fans dream would be...an FA cup draw against Man U...:D

By the way....are Man U and FC United rivals? Seeming how one spouted from the other and all...and most their fans where Man U supporters...

The first thing I noticed with that was what the goalkeeper seems to be doing to number 2...

First thing I noticed was the guy showing his arse behind the goal...

If FC United are anything like AFC Wimbledon, it'll be quite a while before we see them in the Conference. AFC Wimbledon are currently residing in the Ryman Premier League (along with my second team Bromley FC) and after running away with the Ryman 1st Division, they seem to have found their level given their performances this season. Anyway, my point is that it could be a good long while before we see FC United in the Conference and same goes for AFC Wimbledon.
