Howson is a True Geordie wannabe. Either of their opinions shouldn't be taken too seriously (similar to mine). Both look like the offspring of Brian Blessed.

Good re: the shit show, that is Manchester United.

Entertaining read, and telling it how it is. I just hope that it stays like this for many many years to come - and then many many years after that, too.

The Ashley Young saga is just hilarious. I am reminded of that world famous Ed Woodward quote...."we can do things in the transfer windows that other clubs can only dream of"....hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I prefer his Disneyland quote. (The club being Disneyland for adults). Wonderfully ironic considering how much of a Mickey Mouse outfit they've become.

This quote from that article always makes me laugh

"I am looking forward a lot to next year because Manchester United is not renowned for being second."

He got that spot on. They're not renowned for being 3rd, 4th or 5th either.

B-b-but, I don't understand. I thought every player ever ever ever wanted to play for The World's Greatest Club "™?

Word has it that Italian bird shit tastes like gelato. I understand his decision now.

I replied to this on Twitter, and the mard arse has got me a 12hr ban hahahahaha.... I should appeal it really - I called him a cnut, and let's face it, that's true!

Maybe They should have spent 400 million to get some fans to fill their stadium for their cup final

I've just seen an alert that Wilfred Bony is currently a free agent and looking for a new club. They could do worse!

Yes, they could keep Lingard!

I've mentioned it a few times already on this thread but it's worth a recap.

Back in 2013 when Bacon Face called it a day, I predicted it would be at least 12 years before the rags won the premier league title again.

At the time I was being conservative with my prediction. The last couple of seasons has demonstrated that I was way off the mark with my initial assessment.

I would like to take this opportunity to amend my initial prediction:

"The rags will not win a premier league title until at least 2035 and they will struggle to finish in the top four for the foreseeable future".
