The Summer of the Cheque Book
Or should that be "The Summer of the Czech book"??
The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!
E's Flat Ah's Flat Too
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.

Or diving.

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.

I doubt Young will be there much longer.

Yeah we'll have to console ourselves with finishing 20+ points ahead of you and qualifying for Europe next year instead.
And still winning nothing for the last 10 years.

Three for me, and two for them.

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. :)

Back on topic, will the next united manager also get a six year contract? #TraditionAndHistory

Maybe some performances clauses in there.

Like Europa League qualification?
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.

I can taste your bitterness from here TL.

Dreams are free
LOL They have been dreaming for 9 years. Probably be another 9, and Arse will still be there.

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.
Fuck this stupid game

We have won 3 leagues with Wenger and one was unbeaten.
Try again.

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.

Give him credit. He is 23 and has been a fan since he was at school.

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.
