Since when?
Lol, turned out it was some guy with a balloon
The point I was trying to make us for a club of United's wealth we don't pay the prices you'd expect us to. We go up to a point and then back off.
We should be doing what Bayern are doing and strengthening the squad and paging what's necessary to do that. But we're not.

Froggie got a lot to answer for.
Legend and everything don't get me wrong but yeah, that ones on him.
Blanc is a despicable piece of shit.
pls I want to know the details :lol
Didn't know who Vidal was. Not sure if that's his fault or the scouts.
No more Glazer talk. I annoy myself when I talk about it. God knows what everyone else on this thread thinks.
He'll do anything to deflect from the reality that they were just shite. If he doesn't get charged for his comments about the ref then it's a joke, but I fully expect him to get off without even a warning.
how can that dour cunt criticize the ref. One of them twins they have should have been red carded.
And complaining about the free kick for the first goal........ burst out laughing when I listened to his interview in the car.
The choice of David Moyes as successor by Ferguson is certainly interesting.
People who've read his book and been to Q&A sessions have said that his nationality was emphasised.

Yeah feel good about having a dude like that in charge of your club.
Can see why the owners picked him.
I went to the Q+A. He mentioned nationality as nothing other than a joke.
Fergie picking Moyes is fine. He made a choice, he had his reasons. You've got to be nuts if you seriously think Moyes being Scottish was a central part of that.
Can't hold Ferguson accountable for the job Moyes is doing. That's on Moyes himself, the players and the owners.
I wonder if we'd had a more traditional selection process rather than Fergie just picking would we have ended up with Moyes.

I was just commenting when you said about not spending wisely. Out of the three players you listed, I would disagree on saying that 18 million on De Gea was a mistake. He is improving and even if they tried to sell him today I believe they could ask for more than they spent. Young was overpriced (as every English player is) and Kagawa may have a been a good buy had they actually utilised him properly (and he still could justify his price if given a good run in the team).
Also what if United had signed Mata instead and he didn't work out. You'd be criticising them now saying "Man United could have had Kagawa if they wanted. They went after Mata instead."
But I agree. Anybody who says that they haven't had money to spend is ridiculous.
I think Gill was pushing for Mourinho but Charlton was dead set against it.

Fergie lurking around is nae good, you know he's watching knowing he got out the right time. I bet he's waiting for the right moment when Moyes takes the blame and all the deadwood has gone, to swoop back in. Poor Moyes.

I think I read it in an Ogden article.
I don't care if he is a racist, sexist, or whatever. If he gets the job done then I'm all for it.
He was picked because everyone we asked were afraid of managing Zlatan and Blanc was desperate for a job.
I definitely don't think that Moyes was chosen based upon his nationality (although I think it played part).
Wouldn't blame Ferguson at all for Moyes' performance. Everton under him was not like this.

Won't find anywhere that states is cut and dry but there's enough in there to tell you.
Or you can read Red Issue.
Since he was going to Arsenal first and then Chelsea stepped in with a larger bid. Man United are a bigger and more attractive club at the time. They could have easily stepped in if they wanted.
Unless you believe playing for Chelsea was his buyhood dream or something like that.
Mata was never really linked to United and he wasn't exactly world-class yet. Using this logic, you could say that United should have bought every player that turned out to be very good.
Anyway, at the time, Valencia and Nani were still excellent.
And the Arsenal deal was collapsing even before Chelsea stepped in.
jeez wesley youve become a debbie downer
Didn't Evilore sanction the word for general use though? Of course not when calling another poster a "cunt" in the OT, but if I call Justin Beiber a "cunt", there's no reason for a ban, right?
Not a downer! I just don't want to have anyone banned when it could easily be avoided.
As to that I checked to clarify the above points. You won't get banned straight away outside of this thread unless you're clearly using it in an insulting manner. Use your best judgment on where and when it could be deemed acceptable.
Words fail me......and him seemingly.
It's really good. Mixes the right amount of drama and superhero business. Season one was was quite good. Season two has been excellent so far.
Watching this downward spiral Man United are in has me fearful of the future.
What happens when Arsene retires? Who are we going to bring in? That guy in Japan? Berkamp, with no experience? Bould? Tony fucking Adams?
I hope we bring someone who plans on staying there long term, just don't know who that would be.

Cheers Viv.
Don't really want him to be honest. I doubt he would stick around long and he is also a bit of a whiny cunt.
Well he's 64 now so I think that we'll get another 6 years out of him before he retires. But I guess who knows. He already looks like a cadaver in a coat.

An 18 year old, a 40 year old and a dude that ain't played in 2 years.
They are our best players.

Yeah I am honestly scared when Wenger retires. I would like to see us bring in a young manager, maybe someone like the Southampton manager or Martinez? Or maybe someone from abroad.
I think he looks pretty damn good for 64 and 17 years in an incredibly stressful job. Still has all his hair and isn't an alcoholic. Pretty impressive.
Apparently he exercises every day and eats like a small Japanese man.
When Ferguson retired, Wenger gave an interview to Al Jazeera in which he said SAF has interests outside Football, but all he had was Football
Bit sad that, so I could see him keeping going on until he couldn't.
