No. Tony V, when he gets to the man he stops and turns back.

Bolasie runs through the man splitting him in two with his magic forcefield and continues on his way running ninety miles an hour until the advertising hoarding stops him. :pac:

Zaha was overpaid for but looked a real prospect.

His problems seem to be off the field which is his own fault, did we sell him or just loan him out?

I'm actually worried about Sunday - the way United are playing someone is going to hammer them sooner rather than later.

Arsenal should have. Southampton could have. Soft goals in both games gave us the results but the impossible as it is to believe, United have actually gotten worse at defending. Smalling / Jones / Evans not upto it. McNair not yet near the level. And now we have Rojo who looks like an improvement but at times can resemble the type of player we used to only see playing for Columbia/Bolivia/Mexico at a World Cup but would never hear of again once the tournament finished.

If (big if) Liverpools mid field click on Sunday they could tear united apart. Somebody soon is going to - I just hope its not this weekend.

United have been very good at home this season and nobody has looked like hammering us. We went to Arsenal with a game plan to park the bus and counter and it worked perfectly.

Also if anybody is going to hammer us it's certainly not going to be a side with Lambert leading the line.

Surely there's more threat of Carrick, Fellaini/Herrera and Di Maria clicking and destroying someone than Gerrard, Henderson and Lucas doing the same? If Shaw and Rafael are back this weekend also we should look a lot more fluid. Can't wait for it personally

3-5-2 hasn't been used at home in the last couple of matches and we have looked stronger because of this

It will be 4 at the back v Liverpool

Lol at people (and there are a lot of them) that think last night's performance has been representative as to how we've played over the last several games. That is complete horse****.

That was by far the worst, followed by the first 30 mins at Arsenal and also the Palace game at home was below par. The other performances v West Brom, Chelsea, City, Hull and Stoke have ranged between average to quite good.

Not sure who that many are? I had mentioned 3 at the back last night was a joke and we were terrible at times

RobertKK · 09-12-2014 05:54PM

Edward Glazer and the sale of 3 million shares, the prospectus for the sale says "We anticipate a higher level of net player capital expenditure."

So a higher level (than what was the norm) of spending on players to continue.

Shares down near 9%.

Wasn't referring to you, I didn't even see your post. Mainly talking about opposition fans who are judging United as awful based on last night's performance, when in reality it was one game and not representative of performances in general.

RobertKK · 09-12-2014 05:59PM

At the moment while we wait for things to settle injury wise... I don't care how we win as long as we win.
After the Chelsea loss, we needed to win to close the gap for whatever slim hopes we have of a title race.
The main aim was achieved, we won, happy for that aim to be achieved every match while we improve our play.

This is welcome. (Glazer sale and more transfer plans)

UTD generally have a higher net spend on players. The Ronaldo sale skewers the figures and we won't be selling another one of him for a while!

UTD generally pay top dollar for players (Mata, Fellaini, Herrera are the most recent 3) and don't really get back massive fees when players move on. I can't think of one squad player we have moved on in the last 5-6 years where you would say "we got big money for him".

The price will go down when they are for sale.

A loss, after all their gloating and desperation to get back into the CL, wouldn't it be hilarious for them to get knocked out in the group stages

Agreed if the above played but DM is injured, Herrera doesn't seem to be VGs flavour of the month (despite being his player of the month) and Carrick will end up covering the back 4 who really do (Shaw apart when he plays) resemble the Dog and Duck XI.

Granted it might not (probably won't be) Liverpool who are the team that will grab a hat full against us but it just has to happen at some stage unless some sort of miracle happens in defence.

Win/win, in my opinion.

If they go out, the schadenfreude will be delightful.

If they go through/get Europa League, the extra games will hopefully hinder their league form later on.

Hope they get bet 4-0 and get dumped into the europa league.

Not fussed about their result too much as I don't think they'll thump Basel, and if they do qualify, they'll bd walloped in the last sixteen more than likely. So long as Basel give them a game at the very least, I'll be alright with that. An emotional draining, physically tiring game please.

Carra was blindfiring a SMG out a window of a moving car with his tweet. Neville 360 quickscoped him with a Barrett with his reply.

Tl;dr I've been playing CoD and GTA recently

In an unprecedented turn of events the Referee will hopefully call for two 30 min halves of extra time after a 15-15 draw.

Off-topic, given how funny tonight should be, but it's nice for us to get a handy FA cup draw. We've gotten some stinkers of banana skins the last couple of seasons.
