Someone's having a real laugh - sperm of gollum to Utd.

They're never gonna get anywhere with this helmet there, nor while they maintain a transfer policy based purely around placating their idiot fans rather than building towards a long-term strategy. Anything that protracts the anguish and forces them to haemorrhage more cash is fine by me.

Do you not think they've kind of stopped that now? Their signings this last year haven't been too bad. They've overpaid for some, but there's not the dross like they've been buying.

So were Fowler and Owen

Scored 4 goals in three finals between them in 2001. Imagine them without the injuries.

 

The key will be whether they have the desire to strengthen in their weaker positions, which means non-sexy signings. If they do so, they have half a chance. Of course they then have to be properly coached and hope that everyone else falls away - happened in 2016 and 2017.

We were well able to play some fantastic football at the end of many seasons when other teams were running away with the league. Let’s see how Solskjaer does when he has to come up with plans B, C and D tactically once other coaches twig his methods.

The glorious run continues against winless Bournemouth.

 

Solksjaer was even feeling bold enough to have a pop at the doubters at the start of his reign.

 

Going to make it all the better when this inplodes

Their front three have scored more goals than our front three, don't you know.

 

If they can find a half decent central defender then they'll be challenging for the title.

 

Apparently.

It would be nice if we could get 17 penalties so our lads could pad their stats too.

Its basically the same sort of run he had after Mourinho got sacked. A few winnable games against teams in the bottom half of the league, easy draws in the domestic cups and a few routine wins in Europe.

Removing tribalism, I can see Fernandes is a brilliant player and Greenwood is a terrific talent. Rashford is a sound lad who is also a very good player - hyped up though because he is English and plays with United. Martial and Pogba look half arsed.

 

They are clicking. The thing is that pace and a brilliant midfielder pulling the strings can be worth a lot in this league. They remind me a little bit of us under Brendan. It's not inconceivable that they get a head of steam if they get their customary easy start to the season. 

 

Long term, I just don't see how Ole wins a league over Jurgen and Pep. These guys are managerial giants and ultimately superior to Ole in every sense. 

 

They have played shit teams, albeit ones with a lot to play for like Brighton and Bournemouth. It is the perfect storm for us with them - Ole and their hordes getting cocky. 

Still I remember pissing myself at how shit a manager Ferguson was and look how that turned out.

The League is far, far stronger than it's ever been. 

The top 6 have all been the strongest for ages,below that though I would say that the PL players are fitter and more athletic than they've ever been but lack the technical ability of the likes of similar teams in Spain and Italy for example. It really is all about the money in the PL as has been proved by United,Chelsea and even Blackburn. Leicester were hardly paupers either! Kudos to Arsenal and ourselves for spending less than our rivals but using it more wisely to achieve success.

This, but also they’re a mess off the field generally. Their owners are parasites, just sucking cash out of the club.
Ewar Woowar is clueless (at the football stuff anyway - if you want your club to be the first to have an official anal lube partner then he’s your man) yet has a massively important and powerful role. 
And their players? Plenty of good ones, but many more who are rank average yet overpaid/overhyped/underachieving. How many international central defenders can one club have on the books without having a convincing centre of defence? Fernandes aside, who was the last signing they made who was not just successful but good value for money? The squad is a mix of players signed by five different bosses now, and it shows. 
That said, I hope that Ole gets many more years to continue to excellent work that he’s doing.
