Its always gonna be like that when one club breaks the fair play code. The few clubs that can are gonna have to play catch up. LVG will be spending his fair share.

Senior player revolt. Now they will retire. 

1 by 1 Because if they get Euro coach they will struggle to retrain

ManU fans have a right to be very peeved with some of those senior players. They revolt as you say, only to retire/leave, so all that has served to do is bring the club down. The likes of Ferdinand and Vidic basically got paid for a year despite stopping contributing in any way a full season earlier.

Exactly. Considering some of the wages mentioned, some of those self believing super stars should really hang their collective heads in shame. Moyes did not take away their ability to play, he didn't handicap them. I blame the players more to than Moyes for not performing.

The Robben to United rumour is making me feel ill. I'm really not sure I could enjoy watching him score goals for us.

You know we belong together...

I don't want a Dutch pre-retirement home setting up camp at OT either. Don't see we need an ageing left winger but we do need to sell one.
However i would be happy to see Ed van der Saar back in a GK advisory role (de Gea will achieve great things, hopefully we give him enough reasons to stay for a few years before heading back to Spain), tho I think Ed is heading more down the future-CEO path at Ajax.

Kotahitanga. We are one.

Robben and Ashley Young could have a "who can dive the most without getting booked" competition over the course of a season.

You guys deserved the win last night, but I must correct your 'facts.' You did not finish 20 plus points ahead of us. A mere 15.
However in the last 6 years we have finished anything from 16 to 21 points above you. ( Maybe you are still hearing voices in your head)
You are right about qualifying for Europe. We did not deserve to. However, I cannot seem to find anything to say you  that you have won anything in the CL? We both have won the FA cup 11 times, so pretty even there, but in the EPL the score is 13 to 3..
Have a nice day. :)

At least we sacked our coach when he under performed. 9 years for that 1 trophy, that's some wait. We'll have another trophy next year.

Man Utd fans pre-Moyes: We don't sack managers, we give them time, we have tradition and history.


Man Utd fans post-Moyes: At least we sacked our manager after 8 months because he was underperforming.


LOL.

Yes, all Man Utd fans think the same at all times.

(should add, the only reason there has been this 'tradition' is because in the EPL prior to this season we had never finished worse than 3rd. We have finished 1st in more than half of the seasons)

Man U fans were devided on Moyes. I said give him time but I'm not disappointed we got rid of him. The longer he was there the more I felt he wasn't the right fit. 

Arsenal fans bitterness is a strong, nine year old stench. And it hasn't gotten old for the rest of us, in fact you can still smell it today because a cup is not a league. Arsenal will never win a league with wenger and you all know it. 

United is still in far better shape as long as wenger stays.

You know he was suggesting that Arsenal won't win the league AGAIN with Wenger. I won't say never but I think it will become harder.
Hey, we have won the league with more points than Arsenal ever have.

Yeah i'm sure everyone remembers that time you won the league with a good points total opposed to us going a whole season unbeaten.

Moyes wasnt fitting into the style and culture of the club and there was no indication that it would get better. 
Need to sign a CB, a CM and a LW. Shaw at LB will also be outstanding.
Martins Indi/Mangala/Inigo Martinez, Strootman/Carvalho and Griezmann/Koke would be my preferences

Even though its off topic, well done to Arsenal. May they enjoy it while it lasts.

I think even more people remember the treble. Not that either are especially relevant now.
