I'm not one for Facebook or any kind of social media to be honest but I saw the Manchester United facebook page through a friend of mine earlier today and he was scrolling through the posts.

The club literally act like a small club, tagging Ronaldo or any other half decent ex player in most posts, etc.

IE that had one about Ronaldo.

I then got showed the Manchester City page and they seem to be far more sure of their own pulling power, interviews with people like Sane, Silva, etc.

Anyway, my point is simply a question, do Manchester United act like a 'small' club on social media usually?

It's the first I saw of it and although I don't really care an awful lot it certainly got me thinking.

There is bitching and then there is what you have posted, small club like seriously, ronaldo was tagged as it was supposedly 1st nov when he scored his first goal for us, i apologize to you if it hurt you that utd fans consider him a legend and utd facebook celebrated much like other so called half decent ex players who seem to be tagged mostly for their birthdays or to mark something, which city can't really do i mean there is not much past to celebrate when your legends include likes of niall quinn and paul dickov.

Also just to be sure i went on the utd page and only thing other than usual utd related stuff i found was ronaldo stuff (1 post), happy birthdays to mark hughes and dennis irwin and van der saar and bit of advertising for addidas and others, so where is this so called small stuff or is it your expectation than a social media page by man utd should not wish explayers happy birthday or mark any occasions that jose moonrinho might not like.

Moon your posts are getting more odd every time you post.

Acting like a small club on social media? How does a club act on social media to project themselves as a big club?

What scale does one use?

Van Gaal's social media is the best. He has all the info on the best topics and times to post, the best font, etc. He spends 90 minutes meticulously planning every aspect of his posts, but never actually ends up posting anything.

Got to assume this one is a wind up, and not the first one recently, if not I'm confused and embarrassed for you.

Moon - I had to swallow the fact Welbeck was sold, I think it's time you did the same with LVG being axed mate.

Beast - where on earth do you get that dig from? How did another dig at Moon over LVG become relevant? Reading through these responses it is like everyone is out to chase Moon away, is this seriously what this page has come to?

DodgyBanter - Because ever since LVG was sacked (Who Moon backed until the very very end), his posts have become more and more bizarre for him. He posted a very interesting article a while ago on LVG's tactics, which although I disagreed with, it still was very comprehensive and I often enjoyed reading Moon's views. However of late he seems to be saying bizarre things about Rashford, Facebook and other stuff which makes me think he is not happy about Man Utd and maybe there is something behind it. That is where my point came from.

I was a bit bitter after we sold Welbeck, and this reminds me of that. Not that I feel i should justify myself to PC police. I'm not chasing Moon away (the opposite in fact), I just wondered if that disappointed about LVG being sacked is tainting his posts and maybe damaging the reputation he garnered. As you can tell above, people are confused about what he has been saying lately. I'm trying to help because I am often labeled as one thing or another, but there is often more to it.

I'm not bothered either way, but "my dig" was more of a plea not a snipe. I like "bizzare" posts, they get the conversation going and if not totally messed up can often lead to alternative thinking.

That wasn't only aimed at you Beast, read evenzidan's response and I think my point is understood:

"have you ever got anything to say that carries any substance? "

Well yes evenzidane, he's long been a highly respected poster on this site who has often written detailed and interesting posts/ articles.

But let's score some more points over LVG.

Ignore me, must be my time of the month, but I agree with your response beast - I would like to see more input from posters like Moon - not less.

Doggy

Apparently you haven't been reading Moon's post (especially of late) .

Dodogybanter-

i have been reading Moons posts for a while and until june (ish) time this year they have had some form of subject matter whether i agree or not is irrelevant.

Hoewever, the last 6 months of sporadic no nonsensical posts seem to have the rest on here in agreement that they are strange and a lot of the time either snipey (with no argument to back up) or just pointless.

* forgot to add - i haven't mentioned LVG in any way including digs at Moon.

Ahh, I see, my apologies. I didn't realise it was Moon hunting season on the site. But if everyoje agrees that he is irrelevant then I guess I should jump on the band wagon then.

Incredible.

there is no 'moon hunting' going on.

If i put something on here that people generally think is out of order/ strange/ based on incorrect facts or whatever the case maybe then i would have no issue if 4,5 or 10 people told me so. i would expect it!

just like you have pointed out that you think my reply to Moon may be off the mark. If there were 10 people on here agreeing with you i wouldn't consider that a 'hunting'.

And you need read the post (s) correctly - nobody has said that Moon or his posts were or are irrelevant.
