It's incredible to think how much the result of that single game could have changed football, as well as British history.

The surgeon who worked on his injuries in his early twenties said his knees won't carry him past 30. How right he was.
Really i didn't know this. He reminds me of Ricky Hatton,who ironically he is good mates with.He looks like he has partied hard once too often and it is catching up with him now. I remember Sugar Ray Leonard being asked about Hatton when Hatton was world champion.He said he could not sustain that lifestyle and remain at the top in boxing,how right he was.

So what is he then, a Foster's 'man'?
Well clearly no one told the Rags this.

Not rumour at all, I was working with a rag S/T holder at the time and he was adamant there were no more than 17 or 18,000 actually in the ground for the Wimbledon match.

This morning on Sirius/XM FC's the football show, they were discussing United from an angle that was refreshing to me. They covered the numbers:
1) £325M pounds spent since Sir Red Nose retired
2) Three are only 9 players left from the last PL champion squad in the 2012/13 season - Of those, De Gea, Jones, Rooney, Smalling, Valencia, Carrick, Young, Powell, and Januzaj (out on loan) there aren't a ton of great players. De Gea is gone either in January or early next Summer. Rooney is what he is, Carrick is old. Young, Jones, and Valencia are bit players. Smalling is up/down. Powell never sees the pitch.
Add these together and you really can't even call this the same club as that one. The bulk of the funds have gone out during the timeline of the TT. So this is his squad. If they can't be successful with it after spending as much as they have, then he will have to be considered a failure. The other thing brought up was that there have been a lot of former players for Man U as well as players that played under TT at other stops that have endorsed him. You don't see that unless things are sideways. Last year, you didn't see a lot of players from Jose's publicly stating how great a guy he is and that his tactics are great, etc. They just let the results happen. But if things continue to stay bad, you will start hearing the endorsements. When that happens, you know bad things are going down.

It would almost be worth suffering the initial media ejaculation to then witness the inevitable realisation he ain't up to it.
Giggs would almost be forced to follow the legacy of developing youth because of Ferguson's luck with the fluke of 92.
Oh the beautiful irony as we watch the scum fall even further behind following a model they used as a stick to beat us with.

All these stories being dripped out following the same lead as the Moysiah.
Family man obviously wants his job back whilst Maureen orchestrates his way out of the rent boys.

Media reporting De Gea is being offered a new 200g a week 5yr contract
Good news say's talksport,if it was us they would be saying we were desperate and flashing obscene money etc
Don't do it david lol

I doubt he'll sign, he's had his head turned and the rags and the tactical turtle in particular have treated him pretty shoddily. He'll sit out his contract and leave on a free. I can't wait to see the meltdown when he does.
Well that contract was offered ages ago and I think he's worth it.

I can see it now ....
"Right boys ... Extra laps for you all .... I'll be leaving a few minutes early (to shag one of your wife's)" ....... ALLEGEDLY
So do Real, which is where he'll be playing next year.
Look at It from De Gea's perspective - he's been their POTY for 2yrs running (by some distance) and the sole reason they made top 4 last season... and they offer him £200k... that"s less than Shrek, Schweinsteiger... probably even Bog Brush... actually a bit of an insult to the one player who's influenced more results for them than any other.

But you don't try and buy your players with huge amounts of money like big bad city do and you slagged us off for doing it years ago
You have no moral high ground left
