If they hit rock bottom again they'll pop out in Australia.

Agreed but if that's not possible, watching their deluded flickers of hope keep rekindling only to be extinguished time and time again by their own vanity and stupidity will be acceptable consolidation.

You known what, that's maybe even better.

When were were shit there was a certain enjoyment in knowing how shit we were, we had a laugh about it and it's how we got through those years.

Having a faint glimmer of hope every now and again only for it to be taken away time and time again is actually more painful.

 

[Tanzeylee]

That should certainly improve his game

I'm pretty sure spanish dave will learn plenty.

 

[its grim up north]

Mani’s put on a bit of timber too.

Never heard of the raggy fuckers. Who are they?

 

[Roachy]

Hope Villa smack these twats Mon night in the cup.

 

[babyape]

you say varane is solid and dependable, he really isnt, he has 2 big mistakes a game in him and has for years , very overhyped

Just slightly better than Maguire then.....

 

[halfcenturyup]

It seems that Greenwood is to the attack what McTominay is to the midfield.

And Maguire is to the defence.

Christ, that all sounds like one of those logic questions in an IQ test ....

Heard a rumour that Goofy has told them he wants out, dont know how true it is.

What goofy is this.Quite a few to choose from.

Goofy is rather vague, that could be any ONE of the 11 who want out. Could even apply to the interim manager or Ed woowoo.

Found it. It still makes me laugh

Patrick Barclay: Januzaj has got a touch of Messi but that’s no

www.standard.co.uk

"He is hundreds of goals, thousands of dribbles and quite a few trophies short in terms of achievement but his natural attributes are almost up there with the very best."

...ya reckon.

Dunno how true this is but it claims the rags sold 1.7m shirts in total last year.

Sorry 2020.

Adidas reportedly unhappy with United over underwhelming shirt sales

And there’s 32 million cars in the country needing a good clean

 

[Protein Junkie]

They have McTominay and Fred.

Is that a clothing brand in Tesco?

 

[Gingers Dad]

scored against Sunderland and there was a media campaign to get his Nationality changed to English

I believe that campaign was started by the Belgian media

 

[Keep the Faith]

Baffles the life out of me that so many fans and so-called expert journalists don't understand how this works (or refuse to acknowledge it for 'bants').

Nike don't pay millions and millions of dollars in shirt sponsorships to just let the clubs pocket all the cash from sales, effectively losing money on every sale while the club gets paid twice.

Shirt sales go to the sponsor. A club signing X megastar doesn't "recoup that back in shirt sales" no matter what Dave in 'Footy Bantz group' on Facebook says.

Also a point to remember is that, when Adidas sells a shirt to say Sports Direct, they probably sell at under £30, any extra is SD's profit.

I think woodward is still travelling back from that pre season there to do some business ;)

Hopefully there are some corners in Australia, otherwise they won't know where to turn.

 

[Newman Noggs]

I'm pleased to see that, notwithstanding the interimness of Ralf they are setting up a long-term hierarchy to sustain success. Who could argue with the appointment of the vastly experienced Darren Fletcher as technical director ? And when Ralf moves on to become a "consultant" the club is set fair.

 

[Pell]

Not surprised Ronaldo has upset the balance of that dressing room. Maguire, despite being captain has been usurped and his authority undermined, Fernandes isn't happy at no longer being the star player, while Rashford and Greenwood aren't happy having to become glorified James Milner's to do the donkey work Ronaldo isn't willing to do. I think City played a blinder here by pretending to be interested...

Next year's pre season tour...
