This is all dependant on how much you spend.

£200m slurged and finishing fourth can not be considered a success.

I would need to know who we bought first. If you're buying a bunch of 18-21 year olds then it's not the same as buying 25-28 year olds.

I'm just fascinated to see Ra's deal with the media and the crybabies at the team who have for too long taken for granted that they are Manchester United players.

What's your favourite curry?

Lamb Dansak. Nom.

I need some clarification as I recently got confused about this issue:

Shouldn't we be playing in gold when we have won the Copa del Rey?

They won't get top 4.

Of course they will. United finished 15 points from the top four last season and are going to sign a shitload of swaz players this summer and have a manager who is much better than that idiot Moyes. That's good enough to make up the 15 points.

Perspective.

United have no European distractions + LvG.

A team with title winning DNA.

Anything less than a title challenge is failure.

Lol.

Ok. I am done with this.

I can see now you are just joking.

Top 4 Finish
Manchester City 1/20
Chelsea 1/12
Manchester Utd 4/7
Liverpool 4/7
Arsenal 10/11

Arsenal fans are worried. I'd prefer Liverpool to stay in the top 4 over them probably, Arsenal fans are almost as deluded as Liverpool's, but at least Liverpool have a European history, a stadium with an atmosphere on European nights, and wouldn't just be making up the numbers like Arsene's team.

Come at me, bros

It's okay, don't worry, I personally think you will just about win the 4th place trophy in the last couple of games of the season once again. Liverpool will struggle with Europe, and the World Cup summer. They play too much of a high intensity game.

Lego, you're have a mare.

Still laughing at betting odds being an indicator of league position :lol.

It's not an indicator, just shows that the general consensus is that United will be back in the top 4. Of course they could be wrong.

holy fuck, he's gone mad...

edit: looks like he deleted the tweet.
 
Because United are a bigger club than pretty much any other club on the planet. Speaking as a neutral Leyton Orient fan, why would anyone want to sign for Liverpool or Arsenal (for example, but the examples are numerous) over the mighty Manchester United simply because they've got the honour of being knocked out in the Champions League once again. Last season was just a mere blip in United's wondrous history. The glory days will be coming back under Van Gaal and the top talents in Europe know that.

This is true. Right now there are approximately 1 billion children on this green Earth going to bed with dreams of playing with Nani, Cleverley and Ashley Young. It is every boy footballer's lifelong goal to wear the cherry red of United.

Players don't sign for Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Barca or Real Madrid, they settle for them.

I'm not joking. RVP probably isn't going to be injured for half the season due to Moyes' prehistoric training. Januzaj is a year older. Evra is going to replaced by Shaw. Even if they don't sign a Fabregas or a Kroos (which they will), they'll sign someone who's better than Cleverley and Fellaini. They'll also probably sign a winger and a new defender. The mere fact that United are being linked to these juggernauts of European football should make you sit up and take notice.

It's going to be a huge summer for them, especially since the likes of City and PSG are hindered by FFP.
 
Anyone play transistor yet?

Dhansak or jalfrezi probably.

So many I haven't tried though. Always bottle it and get something i know.

Same. Probably because I can't handle the spicy stuff. Every time I've gambled it's been instant regret. I paid to eat, not to sweat and cry.

There are probably two billion children who dream of replacing them.

Good thing Chelsea, City, Liverpool and Arsenal aren't going to improve.

You expect RVP to be healthy at 31 after a World Cup?

Seriously, Yaya has deleted some of the tweets from earlier. Namely the 'judge me on my performances' tweet.

Yaya - y u do dis?
 
Arsenal fans should just get used to people saying they'll be dropping out the top 4.

I mean they should be used to it already but it'll be said even more now because United are a more serious competitor for them and Arsenal are going to be perceived as the weakest link.

I'm expecting van Gaal's expert specialists to know a bit more about fitness training than Moyes' hangers on who followed him from Preston to United.

They might improve, but United are going to improve more. The fact that it would sound weirder if Liverpool were being linked to Reus, Kroos and Fabregas says it all really. They're signing Adam Lallana and that guy that looked shit in the Europa League final. Arsenal are signing Morgan Schneiderlin.

Or, you know, people should stop predicting it after being wrong year after year.

Definition of insanity and all that.

It's May 20th.

Derp already knows who everyone is signing.

You have been looking on twitter too much.

Go outside. Get some fresh air.

Eh, I think it's close between Liverpool and Arsenal. I think Liverpool are really going to struggle with the addition of Europe.
