According to the press this morning Rooney is struggling to find a new club as the clubs which want him cant afford his wages and the clubs who can afford his wages have absolutely no interest in him

It serves the rags (and shrek) right for agreeing such a long and lucrative contract.

Yet another rag move coming back to bite them on the backside!

Best thing we ever did was turn his head and let him throw the toys out of the pram over united's lack of player recruitment. A complete drain on finances that must make them walk away from average players looking to sign and be on the same money as Rooney.

Now they've started chucking money around every chairman of every football club must love it when Woodwood gets on the phone. Add an extra 20 million the desperate bugger will pay it.

Is anybody really bothered about them potentially signing Matic or Fabinho? I keep saying this but Lindelof, Semedo, Perisic, Matic/Fabinho and Morata is a 6/10 window. These aren't top players.

How dare you!

They are rag legends who will lead them to the chosen land of 6th...
 
I see the latest from their academy has gone to the mighty Preston North End - I can't remember his name, it's the one that scored on the final day

Fabinho yes as I wouldn't mind him at our place with him either playing full back or defensive mid. I honestly don't see Monaco selling him with the other players they have being chased by us and Chelsea.

The other lot are terrible, I don't get the blind faith of the rag faithful who think the good times are back just because they won a second tier European competition.

You don't need top players to play the Boreinho way buy 6 foot plus players park the bus hoof it up to bogbrush knock it on or win a free kick to cross it in the box to all those 6 foot plus players! Prehistoric stuff but very effected.

Yep. He'll just bore everyone to death again, and win something.
 
It could be one of the reasons why top players are snubbing the rags, because of that awful style of football he insists upon. Creative players want to be given the chance to express themselves, be given the freedom to create something, but Peg will have them just outside their own penalty area hoofing the ball as far away as possible.
It's a prehistoric style of football that is as tedious to watch as it is to play - and the plastic fans are queuing up to pay good money to suffer the insufferable.
 
Quite fitting really they call that dump the theatre of dreams.

Don't think they meant dreaming while asleep cos pegs football is so boring

It's Josh Harrop. I hadn't heard this until your post but every rag of my acquaintance was telling me he's the next best thing after his one and only game for them. It's a familiar pattern. All their academy starlets tend end up on loan or permanently transferred to Preston, Wigan, Sunderland or Hull.

I saw it on Twitter before

A mate of mine was saying he's this and he's that. In particular he described him as a 'Premier League player', off one performance against a shit and unmotivated Palace team. To which I replied, 'just because I made breakfast doesn't mean I'm a chef' - looks like, as usual, their hype and hope has been misplaced once more

The lunchtime KO was the following season - the 3-3 draw - it was brought forward because of the trouble in the North Stand at the 5-1.

Try telling that to Ferguson. In a book published some years ago he said that the 5-1 was an early kick-off, David White scored a great early goal for us, and he was home and in bed by 3pm with his wife checking if he was ok due to the fact that it was the worst day of his footballing life!

Actually that last bit about it being the worst day of his footballing life was true....until October 23rd 2011, and then May 13th 2012!

He obviously got his facts badly confused with the following season's 3-3 draw at Maine Road. That was the noon kick-off as you said. However, we had the earliest kick-off in Premier League history - 11AM - when we played United at home in March 1993 on the same day as the Warrington bomb.
