United we’re 2nd last season and will spend big money on their weaknesses. If they manage to flog Pogba and replace him with 2 decent European quality midfielders, we would do well to beware.

One of the blind spots with United is that we are always quick to see how lucky they are when they win things and his refs seem to give them more of everything, but we seem to be too slow to admit they’re a good side who have turned us over repeatedly in recent seasons.

We would be wise not to dismiss them so quickly this coming season, especially if our own squad is not refreshed and loses anymore players.

They did well last year because the refs were stuck up their arseholes and gifted them lots of penalties and they were terrible to watch at times CB.

Let them buy whoever they want and give their fans false hope.

Leave them alone they are in transition.

The paper boy deserves an MBE for getting such a young squad into 2nd with no money to spend.

Lest we forget that according to solksjaer winning trophies is all about ego's and that finishing in the top 4 shows the real character of a team.

Maybe that's why they threw the final against Villarreal!
 
deluded doesnt even begin to describe them

in a discussion about messi on rag cafe the following was just posted

"This can be a lesson that all clubs should learn from. Barcelona should have sold Messi for a few hundred million 2/3 years ago and they would be around 500/600m better off right now. I appreciate he’s a club legend and easily the second best player of his generation but what has that money won them? One league title and one cup.

I just hope United don’t make the same mistake with Sancho in 10 years. Take the £800m and reinvest it in the squad."

Haha ignoring the Sancho name drop by them, they've had a squad of GOATs according to the press every season, and still managed to be a mini barca with debt.

Second to us on the pitch & second in debt to barca....#SOO
 
I was sitting out in the garden last week in the sun, and to pass the time I wondered idly if I could come up with the odd United limerick (i don't know why). I contrived the following:

There was a young fellow called Rooney
Who'll never read English at Uni.
He'd rather have fanny
(He likes the odd granny)
And often behaves like a loony

There was once a ginger called Scholes
Renowned for spectacular goals
But his tackling was wild
Univers'lly reviled
"What a cynical twat", said the polls

There was a young right-back called Neville
Slagged off by the fans like the devil
They called him a scrote
For feeding The Goat
- a gaffe of most infantile level

A manager known here as Ole
Had an expensive new goalie
Who ain't no great shakes
Cos he still makes mistakes
And United's achievements are lowly

An old Danish keeper called Schmeichel
Had a bad crash on his cycle
The doctor said "Peter,
You'll need a cath-eter".
He said "Doctor, you're taking the ....Michael"

Not great poetry, I admit. Just admire the mastery of rhyme, metre and scansion. I defy anyone to do better.
I just wish I could find a rhyme for Maguire......

Are these perchance the missing poems of Edward Lear which (so my news feed informed yesterday) were discovered by a Nottingham Ph.D student researching documents at the British Library?

Great finds, if so?! I was also hoping for some final proof that Lear also gave the world magnificent verse such as 'There was a young man from Leeds/ Who swallowed a packet of seeds..' and 'There was a young woman from Norway/ Who hung by her toes from a doorway..' Don't suppose you came across these?

They don't write 'em like that any more..
 
Big Swifty said:
Yes, I expect it was Lear, who also wrote\;

There was a young student from trinity
Who shattered his sister's virginity
He buggered his brother
Had twins by his mother
But still got a First in Divinity

I hope that should the respective oeuvres of Lear and your good self be anthologised in one combined volume, room will be found for Old Eddie’s illuminating tale of the ‘Lesbian lass from Khartoum/ Who invited a gay chap to her room..’
 
There is a lad named Maguire
Who was said to be the best of 'em
When he signed for the rags
Turns out he was shit
Just like the fucking rest of ''em
