Have a feeling United will wreck the place next season. Might just be optimism.

TBF thats RAWK isn't it. The hardcore forum sites are full of spastic mentalists. I'd say our one is somewhat similar? Whats our one called actually? RedCafe isit?

RedCafe doesn't do bile,delusion,bitterness on the same scale and weird poetry is a no-no.

Rawkmeltdown is available on twitter.

Rayne Wooney · 08-05-2014 12:22AM

It's mad how things have changed, I mean Liverpool are the good guys and people should be happier to see them win the league over Chelsea and City who buy the league, and yet did they think this way when United have been winning the league over the past 20 years?

Did they fùck! Hypocritical

Oh I know. I follow it and find it hilarious. Tbh I have only briefly been on RedCafe and only been on RAWK a few times at first to verify the RAWK Meltdown posts. I just figured the forum lads were all tw@s. I genuinely don't know who would be worse or anything.

Can't wait for Van Gaal to be confirmed, big ego big presence, the opposite of David Moyes

RAWK meltdown is brilliant.

Seems to have been some money for Pep.

Doubt there's much in it though as Van Gaals price hasn't moved.

Liam McPoyle · 08-05-2014 06:23AM

Just saw the Van Gaal interview from yesterday, fantastic stuff, I really hope he gets the job but the longer it goes, the more concerned I get. I have a weird feeling that the board are waiting on what happens with Anchelotti who I think is going to get the door, even if they do win the CL.

I want Louis!!

Question here for United lads.

Reading van gaals comments on how he'd love the job and how united are the biggest club in the world.

Now that raised eyebrows with me and I was wondering is that something united fans believe? Being the biggest club in the world? Is that something that's important to ye and do you think ye are?

Me personally I'm thinking united aren't as it's somewhat indisputable (IMHO) that Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world. I would thought real then barca and then comes a pack of clubs ala United, Milan, Bayern possibly Pool, Benfica, Juve.

Beat in mind I'm talking history, pedigree, trophies, reputation, fan base, history of players etc. I don't think selling a load of shirts in Asia makes anyone the biggest club in the world.

I hope nobody takes this as a dig cos it's not, but I understand some may be very passionate about this question. It's absolutely not trolling on my behalf, really hoping to get calm answers. I'm not going to defend my personal ranking vehemently either it's just my perceived ranking and I can live with it if someone disagrees but I'd be interested why.

Edit: I'm a Bayern fan myself and don't think they have a claim themselves. Saying just in case that's important with regards to whether I'm trolling or not. In fact I'd probably put United a little ahead of Bayern myself.

secman · 08-05-2014 07:02AM

Milan, possibly pool............no need to say anymore......... probably a troll.

Headshot · 08-05-2014 07:05AM

We are the bestiest club the world has ever seen. Bigger than jebus

Ah Jesus ...that didn't take long

bad2dabone · 08-05-2014 07:08AM

I've always thought that it was real then barca, then United and bayern on a level. The forbes top ten is pretty accurate. Liverpool in tenth, about right.

Must look at that Forbes list, thx

Agueroooo · 08-05-2014 07:13AM

Van Gaal will be even more anxious this morning after the Madrid result last night

irishfeen · 08-05-2014 07:23AM

That's this years Forbes list but a new shirt deal/increased TV money could push us to the summit again ... Over the past 10 years it's been United on the Forbes list for the most.

The big 3 are of course United, Real & Barca - the 3 superpowers in footballing terms who between them over the past 15 -20 years have won a ridiculous amount of trophies. United have the biggest fan base, Real the financial muscle and Barca just that bit of on field footballing magic/unbeatable at their best.

Just to put United into context, David Moyes sacking made headlines across the world, many US news networks/press ran the story and it was a leading headline on the hour on CNN International - that's not even taking into account it being ran across Europe, Asia, Australia etc.

Opponents of United can rank Real, Barca or anyone higher but there is a reason Nike and Adidas are fighting out the biggest ever shirt deal - they certainly are not doing it for the good of their health.

I bet in 12.months he wont be as fresh faced. He looks a fit 62. And has only been part time this last few years so should be ready for one last push. Ill be amazed if we dont sign some young dutch talent this summer. Van gaal will know them inside out.

Hopefully. As I posted previously we've been well served in the past by Dutch players. Good solid technically gifted pros.

Red_Dwarf · 08-05-2014 07:27AM

Im sitting on the wall with this one.

Part of me would like to see the Dutch do very well in the World Cup so we really see what we are getting as manager and it will be entertaining seeing him on the side line.

But another part of me wants to see them get knocked out in the Group stages so he can arrive in Manchester ASAP.

I don't want Ancelloti.

Lovely Bloke · 08-05-2014 07:39AM

I don't think United have won enough in Europe to be considered "the biggest" in that regard, Real have 9 ECs, but the 10th has eluded them for a while now, probably win it this season but. I think that puts Real at the top of the pile - also United don't have the ability to attract or close out deals for "marquee" players. Whether or not that's how United have traditionally done business or not is irrelevant at the moment, United NEED to start doing the biz in this regard, because buying the "best from the other PL teams" isn't going to work any more for them.

There is not a true "Biggest club in the world" - money, fan base, fan delusion, history to a certain extent, net worth, attractiveness to top players all play a part.

Suffice to say that United are "top tier" and can be classed as "One of the best clubs in the world" - no idea why Van Gaal saying it is raising eyebrows though, the dogs in the street know he is getting the job, so he is talking up his new employers - nothing new there in the world of football, at least he is not saying "We hope to be the biggest club in the world". He is saying "WE ARE the biggest club in the world", and that is a difference already.

When taking about United's European record you have to remember of course over the last few years without Barca being one of the best sides in the history of football we would have added at least 2 more ... but the biggy is the Munich air disaster, how many titles they would have won (concidered the best of their generation) is a matter of debate but I think even the hardest United opponent would accept they would have won a few.

GSPfan · 08-05-2014 08:19AM

Is Louis confirmed yet or what!

Every day I check the news and nothing. Time is running out. Everything else is in place and things need to happen now.

Cheryl signed up weeks ago, and Simon is his best friend. It wont be the same without him. But there's history between him and Cheryl.

I doubt that's what swayed his opinion. There's a few on here that have said all along they didn't want him.

3 titles in 15 years isn't really a great stat....
