Btw. Football is becoming just like Formula1. Rapid escalation in development.

Probably why new boys like AVB, Martinez, Laudrup etc are making their name.

Quite why the FA persist with the old guard like Roy Hodgson I don't know.

Moyes will be facing the most competitive EPL ever seen this coming season.

As for Europe........

Happy Christmas.

Here's a tip..

If you United fans are based in Bangkok this weekend you camp yourselves at the Four Seasons as this is where they are staying..

Not a bad giggs if you can get it..

Giggs is in room 555.

well he should be anyway.

I just took a look at the Singha All Stars squad and was surprised to see that no Buriram United players are included. Is there any story there?

Rooney has flown back to the UK. Hamstring problem...........or is it???

Poor showing if you ask me.

Lets hope we sell him then!...funny how he fly's all the way here and gets an hamstring injury in a light training session.

Don't believe it at all.

Chelsea mate

Oh and btw, was Moyes your first choice to like every other Utd fan and you entire board of directors?

Any luck on finding a decent midfield player chaps, we've got Parker available if you fancy him, lost a bit of pace recently but still an upgrade on what you currently have, anyway let us know and we'll try and help out, toodle pip

Just been hearing that another Utd target, Thiago is now top of Bayern's wish list. Guardiola quoted as saying he's the only player he wants! Munich it is....

He's upset at not being called a hansum man.

Well that would be stretching the imagination too far even for a Bangkok brass!

Singha All Stars. No players from teams who have Chang as sponsor.

Ran out of money was the story I heard.

Just remind me please how many points United won the comp by last year with the same relentlessly, criticised,crappy midfield I've forgotten.Oh this season we have lost Scholsey who everyone said was too old and past it anyway.

if they lose to the Singha All Stars

You ok Khun Moyes?

Maybe you should stay with Chang.

Yeah i know, it does make you wonder about the quality of the rest of the league when you can do so well with your midfield !

it's the quality of the management that is the most frightening thing though.

Moyes, the lesser Neville, and Giggs.

rooney on his way home and he was so looking forward to getting a hatrick at the cowboy,

oh well colleen will be happy.

Doubt theres anything wrong with shreks hamstring. More likely having his Chelsea medical.

How much do you think Utd will get for him? 20m? Should leave a nice kitty for a new midfielder.

Calm down Sparks everyone is saying it

Gary Neville believes that Manchester United have run out of excuses not to purchase a midfielder this summer as the club settles into a new chapter under David Moyes.

I figure between Anderson and Rooney United is set in midfield.

George Best would have done it at half time.....and score in the second half.

I think Chelsea are the only club stupid enough to meet Rooney's wage demands (for his ability arguably the most overpaid footballer in the world) and apparently Mourinho fancies him. Make of that what you will.

Wayne Rooney is staying at Manchester United, Moyes tells Mourinho

• United manager tells Chelsea manager 'Rooney is not for sale'

• Rooney a United player and 'will remain so', says Moyes

I think Chelsea are the only club stupid enough to meet Rooney's wage demands (for his ability arguably the most overpaid footballer in the world) and apparently Mourinho fancies him. Make of that what you will.

I hope you're wrong.

After the Torres affair, Chelsea have been quite shrewd in their buying of players. I read an article a while back that said something like of the 18 players they have bought in the last 2 years, only 2 are worth less that they were bought for.

Whilst I find it unsavoury, it is hard to dispute fact of a player like Rooney being worth his wage demands because of the exposure and following he will bring. Without that he is worth a lot less than someone like Mata, who was until recently on only (yeah, still silly money) £65k a week.

Edit. A quote from the article.

For clarity, here are the facts; since Emenalo and Forde both assumed their current roles in July 2011, the club has spent just under £170m on 18 first team players (and first team prospects) and, taking a cursory look, only Marko Marin (£6.5m) and Ulises Davila (£1.8m) are probably worth less now than when Chelsea bought them. All of the other players have appreciated in value - some very significantly (including Courtois, Lukaku, Mata, Cahill, De Bruyne, Thorgan Hazard and Azpilicueta).

Does anyone know if the United v Singha all stars is on TV?
