Man U and Officials vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

One for the oldies, and, more than likely, Dave W.

Someone on another forum has said that the term ‘ManUre’, for Man Utd, derives from supporters mocking the victims of Munich. As in ‘your players are manure, rotting in the ground’
He went on to say West Brom fans sang it about Duncan Edwards.

I’ve never heard that before, and I’m in my 60’s, so I’m guessing it’s probably BS, but before I call him out on it I thought I’d ask on here.
Anyone sheds any light on how true this is.

Utter bollocks.

Early starts make you realise you're not 19 forever.

I see what you did there.

I first heard that back around 2007 when I mentioned Man Yoo and got a "scolding"  from a Crawley Red that I worked with at the time.  I imagine it's only the serious die hards that get worked up about it or are aware of it as you encounter lots of their non attending supporters that refer to themselves as.following Man "U".

Never heard that derivation; sounds like BS.

Can they name the tune that accompanies said chant?

[dave.woodhall]

It's the first I've heard of it, and I doubt Albion would sing about Duncan Edwards.

[TonyD]

We have slight chance as long as we don’t play AEG.

[Drummond]

I reckon if he plays he'll score.

complete rubbish.

Solskjaer moaning about how few penalties Man U get. Isn't there supposed to be a rule against influencing referees?

I will be amazed if they don’t get one today. 

[cdbearsfan]

Likewise. They've had one in the last three meetings.

A friend sent me a meme last night that said "Ronaldo has confirmed that he will take the penalty tomorrow." Had to laugh because it's so true.

The Aussie rules Grand Final has just kicked off. It had better be over by the Villa kick-off or the family will be kicking me out to watch our match on the tablet.
