So the groin story is true

Manchester United will be without strikers Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie for Sunday's FA Cup third-round tie with Swansea.
Rooney (groin) and Van Persie (thigh) are both injured, as is winger Ashley Young (shoulder).

"Groin injury" my arse. Probably a euphemism for a dose of clap he's picked up in a knocking shop.

Spot on mate and the narcissist is there at every match watching it all come unstuck knowing his face is being picked up on camera and that his chosen one is feeling the pressure of him being around like a vulture.

Not one fibre of the **** will ever want anyone to do what he did at the club pmsl.

I think Ferguson's squad management for a few years before he left was very poor. Whether he was forced to by the Glazers or whether he genuinely didn't want to spend on players, the fact is the squad he left we Davey wasn't as good as last season's title win suggested. The fact that sums were spunked on RVP and Zaha (and even Kagawa) whilst their crisis in central midfield deepened speaks for me to very poor squad planning and building. I get the feeling with both those deals it was as much about stopping City and Arsenal from buying the players than about the rags really needing them.

Have to agree with this - 'negative buying' really is the act of a desperate man, if your sole objective is stopping other teams supplanting you, rather than strengthening your own, although us buying wunderkid Januzaj and making him sell pies on the concourse has a certain appeal.
Even Shreck doubling his salary by threatening to leave was a show of weakness from Ferguson.
He won last season with an average side in a below-par season, and bowed out just before the paint began to peel.
I think he saw the writing on the wall.

Easiest money I will ever make.

Rag lad at work is adamant that Reus will sign for them before the end of the transfer window. I told him to put his money where his mouth is.

lifelong bvb fan reus who turned down city and bayern to move there? you should be quids in, I have 250 on at evens with my Muppet cousin (rag) that they're not going to finish in the top 2, reckon he'll end up doing a Fred done with that one.

League is going to be won with 81/82 points so they'll need 80 to finish anywhere near the top three. At the moment they can only get a maximum of 88 points so they only need to drop 9 points to have virtually no chance of finishing 2nd or 3rd. They've still got to go to Arsenal, Chelsea & Everton, as well as Newcastle & Southampton. We've also got to go to the Swamp as have Liverpool.

Let's (charitably) assume they win 2 and draw 2 of those seven games, which means they'll have dropped another 13 points. That means they can only get 75, even if they win all their other 11 remaining games.

Roy Orbison forsaw this cataclysmic decline at the swamp:

"All the rainbows in the sky,
Start to weep, then say goodbye,
You won't be seeing rainbows any more,
Setting suns before they fall,
Echo to you that's all that's all,
But you'll see lonely sunset after all,


It's over
It's over
It's over
It's over........"

Zaha and family want out.

Would prefer to go back to London and Wenger is interested.

United have told Zaha tough shit. They have also rejected a loan move to Newcastle.

Is it just me who can see a huge corn on the cob.
Fuck it I'll blow on it.

Available at as much as 7/4 to finish the season in the top four! Bookmakers never give money away, so when they value the rags chances of qualifying for next season's C/L at less than a 37% chance, we have to sit up and notice.

The press will tell the world he was never good enough when he goes pmsl.
