It's not looking good for that Adidas deal.

Well done Burnley

Utd likely to be 7 points behind the leaders at the end of the weekend,

Title contenders , fucked off you deluded twat Van Gaal

Hope Blind sees some sense and bins them off

[Brigant Moloch]

United's captain is basically a ridiculously overrated & overpriced fat scouser with a wig. Great times.

[TheDrowningMan]

I don't know what Van Gaalarious has done to make them look so terrible in such straightforward fixtures, but I wholeheartedly approve.

[Anubis]

Thoroughly splendid start by United. It's a sign of the times that everyone is disappointed Burnley didn't win.

[Lee909]

Swansea,Sunderland,MK Dons and Burnley

2 Goals for,7 against and 2 points

 

On the bright side they kept a clean sheet

[torahboy]

Another game lacking completely in class. United, as at Sunderland last week, look even worse than they were under Moyes. I'm happy to witness their decline but, by fuck, it's a hard watch.

[PestiRed]

Burnley's first clean sheet in last 30 premier league games. And I thought all United's problems were at the back

[Ashberry]

Van Gaal is a football genius

[Denny Crane]

Huge six pointer for Manchester United after the international break against rivals Qpr.

[Pidge]

Fuck me Scholes is one dour cunt.

 

He emotes about as well as he tackles. The twat.

[Gnasher]

Had all the hallmarks of a relegation dog fight.

[PestiRed]

Harry's dropped Remy as he's definitely off to the chavs

[Captain]

Brilliant result that one for the manc cunts.

 

Fuck me I'm really enoying their misery. Long may it continue.

[JermainePennant]

Harry's dropped Remy as he's definitely off to the chavs

I have no problems with not signing him even if the failed medical was bs which it probably wasn't, we got a better player with Mario.

[Sangria]

Bring back Moyes.   Thought the lack of activity on my phone meant they had an easy win, only to check the results and piss myself.   

I am more worried about our game tomorrow but as an aside it perks one up a bit.

Perhaps I've missed something, but what does this mean?

Anyone know where to find the BBC's expert pre-season predictions?  Can't seem to find the right phrase on google to pull up the page but I'm almost certain there was a comment in there from one pundit that "United will probably be on top of the league table after 10 games, given their easy fixtures."

Reportedly there's a clause that their payout is decreased by a massive amount (north of 30%, I think?) if they miss out on CL for 2 seasons in a row.

Unfortunately it's two seasons during the contract, which starts next year, so they have a fair bit of time to rebuild.

What a fucking goal from Routledge!

Probably from John Motson. he predicted them to win this league this year.

 

Actually it was Waddle  (after eight games)

Oh OK, hadn't heard that - thought they'd been quite insistent it wasn't performance based. Does that include the seasons where adidas aren't sponsoring them, so if they do finish out of it this year, the first year of the deal is screwed? That would be funny.

Imagine it is. Standard part of the sponsorships now.

 

This season we will get more from Standard Chartered because of our qualification for the CL.

I doubt the Glazers will want another summer spent blowing wads of cash if it fails to bring about the desired result this season. They'll be wanting to hold back more of the Adidas money than they would otherwise.
