The Manchester United Thread VIII

lol, rooney

This turd supports Arsenal, he'll **** off soon when they bottle everything again.

He doesn't support Arsenal, he's a Barca fan, apparently.


He's a seasoned troll.

That part cracked me up, hahaha. What a compliment.

Are you calling me a troll?

Nah, just a gifted describer of people.

Oh right.


Do you fancy your team for the league? McEachran looks like a great prospect.

It was horrific watching us play last season... felt like we lacked the motivation and the desire to win, and I was just sat watching every match pissed off as hell. But we look so much better now in pre-season, every player is going for the ball and passing it well, to the extent that I dont think we need to strengthen the team with any buys... the AVB effect, I think.

But you guys have strengthened, and tbh, I think it'll be an impressive feat if we do beat you. You're like a train that just keeps chugging along all the time... it'll come down to how many injuries we get and how well Torres does. He's been looking confident and lively lately... taking a punt on him in my fantasy team, haha.

And yeah, McEachran is amazing. I'm holding my breath hoping he doesnt let it all get to his head though... he's been like an iceman, hardly showing emotion on the pitch and just passing it well. As long as he keeps his head down, he'll do well. I half want him to be kept in isolation from the media...

A potential problem is if you win the league then AVB has the same problem Carlo had, the key is keeping them motivated, to keep winning trophies.

It'll be an interesting title race, everyone has strengthened in one way or another. You have a new manager, City have signed Aguero and others, Utd have strengthened and as you said we just have the habit of doing just enough most of the time. Arsenal look to have signed well in Gervinho, while some point to defensive lapses for their woes they also lacked creativity in some matches.... Liverpool have an outside chance of a challenge, if they get some form going then momentum could mean a push is possible.

Haha, too late for that wish. Two articles on The Times site about Josh - one about how he could be key for England whilst the other says he could be the missing link for your lot.

"There is always a chance something will happen but we will see"

"There is always speculation, every year. I have been at the highest level for 10 years and there is always speculation, but look, I am still here.

"I am happy to train every day with my colleagues and play my games for the fans and every one at the club and whatever happens after that, we will see."

"I appreciate there's been an offer, but it's with Inter the negotiations should take place," said Gasperini.

"I'm not necessarily worried, it's normal in this time to have this type of situation. The market is open to 31 August, and it will continue to happen until then.

"It's not just Inter, it's the same with other big clubs who have players that are object of desire for big clubs."

He's out for a month isn't he?

Luckily I swapped him for Bent in my fantasy footy

Yeah, I too am bored of this saga.
