Fuck me and I thought we needed a couple of players or so but i give you this wonderful piece :

Looking at the first XI and being brutally honest. If we want to win the PL within the next two years and be in CL contention in 3... we need a revamp and buy some proper quality. Not necessarily big names, but certainly big talents. None of your run of the mill. . One good PL campaign players but guys who can blossom into world class players abd go toe to toe with the creme de le creme in Europe. Aim high and the EPL will take care of itself.

Starting 11 wise.. we need the following:

New Right Back
CB partner for Smalling
New DM (competition and cover for Schneiderlin)
New number 8 (a young Scholes/BFS)
New 10 (can play AM and SS - technical, quick, intelligent)
New W (RW and LW*) one of them has to be s marqu

Aye - 250m and a supposedly top class manager doesn't get you far these days. Oh and all that 'prestige' seemingly no longer attracts the big names either.
Brings a tear to the eye doesn't it?

Someone is taking the piss, Shirley. But if they get 100,000 signatures, it will LITERALLY have to be debated in parliament.

I do wish people would stop quoting this urban myth as if it were true!

The fact is that if you get 100,000 signatures on a petition it has to be considered along with all the hundreds of other petitions that achieve it for consideration as a debating topic in the House.
From that list a committee picks one for debate.

I very much doubt a petition about the shit would get debated.

To be fair - United has a well known reputation as mass debators

I'm in two minds about gloating.

Really want to wait until after we play spuds.

You have to be pragmatic about these things mate. There are two options, gloat or not. Now our game isn't while tomorrow and we may well lose or we might win. If we win you can gloat, but you will have lost 24 hours valuable gloating time. If we lose, nothing will make you feel any better. Not having gloated in the last 24 hours won't make losing any more palatable, it will just mean you've lost out on 24 hours of gloating and piss taking.

That's swung it for me.

Fuck em!
 
FFS!!!!!!
Granada reports are STILL trying to put a positive spin on it!!!
"It's the first time united have lost at the stadium of light"
When we lost to the league leaders, they virtually sat there mocking us.

If we beat Spuds, that's another 3 points clear of the rags. If we lose, the gap is the same with another game gone. If we draw we both move a further point clear.
Gloat away that man.
 
The more I think about it, the more I think thank God for that result today. They could have come within three points of us and probably expected to be, the arrogant fornicators.
