14M lost.

Enrique looking strong.

Ffs, why are we playing Borini?

As a forward, if you aren't going to be good in the air, if you aren't going to be the one who finds a bit of space in the box and uses his immaculate control to find a quick shot, if you aren't going to have a nose for where the ball is going to fall -- then you best have a fair bit of pace.

It almost sounds as though our players are treating this as a meaningless preseason match.

Whether the answer is 'He's a very able man' or he's a dear friend of Vincent Tan', does it really matter? As long as his presence pleases FSG, he will stay.

Because nowdays players arent alone. Luis is a 'brand' and has an army of peo ple working for him. Increase the money or the prospect of earning money and the quality or that team should also improve.

Nonsense. He's been his own worst enemy. Any major league will have hysterical press coverage. A player of his abilty and earning level would be expected to handle it in a more professional manner.

As for our dear, departing Luis -- he played spectacularly for us, and we tripled our investment on him. Even if you were to award a very heavy premium for loyalty, he has put more value into the club than most.

I gathered as much, but its a slippery slope.

Ill give you the benefit of the doubt on your level of seriousness here, but when you start praising the Italian Ultras, you might want to take a moment to sort yourself out.

After the away and 3rd kits from last season, I think anything would look better.

20 million for lovren can only be justified in a league that pays 45 for fellaini.

International ban and no one wanting him. Perfect.

Stevie's injured

Waste that

Hart lucky.

Wellbeck is far from the least useful manc on the pitch

Danny you beauty

Rooney off for lalana

Johnson happy to have to only deal with chielini

Rooney might as well be sitting in the crowd.

Hart and casillas are dueling for largest liability.

Perhaps the most sublime rant on the subject ive ever read.

Kolo does not have malaria. Malaria has Kolo. *Shrug* Would have been funny in October.
