Sceptical of what exactly?

He'll be sceptical that you're a rereg of a troll/lunatic, but it's not anything you've done. There has been a regular flow of them through this thread, constantly changing their accounts but posting the same nonsense (they usually start off sensible before going nuts). You're probbly a genuine poster, and if so everybody will be happy to have a new fan with new opinions.

No not a re-reg, I genuinely have lurked for many years without ever registering for boards, just decided one night a few months back that i may as well. Trying to get my post count over 50 to apply for forum access took a while because I only ever read the many versions of this thread over the years.

Anyways, back to the matter at hand. Falcao really excites me, to the point that for the first time ever I would consider getting a player other than Cantons on the back of a shirt. Really hope he can shine for us like he has for his previous clubs. Don't get me wrong, Di Maria is a great player and is exciting to watch, and has had a massive impact on the team already, and you could argue is a more important player than Falcao, but Falcao has got me really excited about what he could do.

I was like a giddy child on transfer deadline day, and I am old enough to know better.

Interesting interview with Nani on football focus.

What did it cover?

Nonsense in your view, ProF.

One of the problems with this thread is that people whose views are different get branded "trolls".

I have never deliberately posted something that I don't believe with a view to inciting trouble. I genuinely believe (for example) that Fellaini is an appalling player.

Being a contributor to this thread shouldn't be about believing that everything in the garden is rosy. It should be about challenging our club to be where it should be - The top.

I want to see Manchester United retain the Champions League title. I want to see us lift our sixth European Cup and wave at our pals 26 miles down the road. People like Fellaini, Moyes, Anderson, etc get in the way of that, and therefore get my ire.

Demanding the best is not trolling.

Why can't our Valencia be like West Ham's Valencia? :-(

Just because you have an opinion dosen make it right, or logical, or sane

And just because your opinion differs from the majority within a small anonymous population, it doesn't make it wrong, illogical or insane.

Take the view that Van Gaal is a spoofer who is ruining the club. There are those who believe that he is the Messiah. There are those who say "give him time". Who's right? The only truly objective measure is results which have been diabolical and worse than under Moyes (with an easier start).

My own view is to give Van Gaal some time but I'm concerned at results and the lack of attention paid to certain areas.

Put it this way, I reckon those who claim Van Gaal is a spoofer who should be turfed out are on more solid ground than those who claim he's the Messiah.

This I can agree with for sure

I said in the Summer transfer thread he would be a great signing for them and got shot down...

Alex Song has been class today too, no doubt he would have been a welcome addition for a season loan.

KH25 · 25-10-2014 02:08PM

Big Sam and Fergie are good mates right? Maybe if we ask nicely enough he'll let us borrow Valencia for a game or 2.

Bleating Lamb · 25-10-2014 02:12PM

The Man City defeat leaves it even more important to really go for it against Chelsea tomorrow.A win would see us looking far more like a top 4 side come the end of the season.Does it look like Di Maria will be fit?....can see Mourinho go defensive as with City result they don't 'have to' win tomorrow.

We-ll be going for a win. 3 pts makes our gap pretty big after only 9 games.

I suggested that we sign him during the summer and was lampooned for it.

Cantona's Collars · 25-10-2014 02:49PM

West Brom played against United as if their lives depended on it & now 2-0 down to Palace.Typical.

lol, yeah, THATS why everyone is suspicious of new accounts.

Come off it, this thread has constantly had pathetic posters with no intention but to spread some bull**** argument over 5 or 6 pages for attention. Going back years.

I'm not accusing you directly, but to act as if there is some witch-hunt with no reasoning is beyond delusional.

This new poster gets a fair chance, as all should, but far too many times the same characters pop their head up and wreck the thread. There are even some who pretend to have insider information on players we are going to sign from a mate who works in finance, would you believe that? :pac:

There are plenty of posters who express unpopular opinions in this thread and don't get viewed as trolls. In fact the thread is full of diverse opinions, criticisms of the club and heated arguments, but all those posters are still viewed as genuine when they behave that way. There is also a steady stream of trolls/reregs who do crazy shït and then get banned. It's easy to express unpopular opinions while not being viewed as a twat - don't act like a twat.

Must just an age thing lads

Rayne Wooney · 25-10-2014 03:54PM

At least City and Pool dropped points

That's it, even if we lose tomorrow we are still right up there with who the challenge will be with and the excuse of the easy start is gone when you weigh up the teams played after tomorrow.

We had a chance to go ahead of them on Monday and made a balls of it,sure all we need do now is beat Chelsea tomorrow.

The_Kew_Tour · 25-10-2014 04:17PM

We dont need the Hammers Valencia we have plenty of quality ourselfs.

Really cant wait for it tomorrow

Maximus Alexander · 25-10-2014 04:28PM

What the hell is going on with this league? :eek:

Montroseee · 25-10-2014 04:33PM

Anyone been watching Dortmund lately? I've watched a fair few of their games this season and Kagawa has been reallly poor, they are in dire form and Bayern are already out of sight. I reckon it's the last season Hummels, Reus and maybe one or two others are there, Ginter or Subotic in Jan would be nice also.

Really strange what's happening with them. No problems in the Champions League with 3 wins out of 3 but they've only got 7 points from 27 in the Bundesliga.

I agree that the rest of their stars will leave in January or next summer.

It's a shame to see a good Dortmund side being ripped apart but they will always replace them with their youth system.

thelad95 · 25-10-2014 04:54PM

This is shaping up to be a very strange season indeed. It's still early days but do Southampton have a shout for top 4? You could argue that the only top teams they've played are Liverpool and Tottenham but Chelsea seem like the only team that can't be beaten at the minute.
