Bredbury Blue Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Absolutely brilliant from Denis 'The King' Law. Interviewed yesterday, he was asked, 'Would the United side you played in beat the current one?' After careful thought he replied, 'Yes, I think so, probably 1-0' 'Why so close?', he was asked 'Cos most of my team I played for are in their 70's now' Think I've posted this before, but a few years back I asked my old man (in his mid 80s) who's the best player he's ever seen play for City. He reckoned Denis Law mk1..one second he'd be defending in his goal area and seconds later he'd be finishing off a move was how he remembers Denis (my old man would have seen players from WW2 onwards Iincluding watching Colin Bell as a season ticket holder so Denis must have been some player in the early 60s). ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'm finding the managerial situation at Old Trafford very hard to comprehend. In the past calendar month comments were coming out how happy the management were with LvG so much so they were thinking of extending his contract regardless of other managers available or might become available. In the past week the media has pronounced LvG Dead man walking and will be gone by the turn of the year. Now following a few losses big baby LvG sounds like a broken man and is giving out hints of a possible resignation - frankly if he resigns I'll be very shocked by his actions as he comes across so think skinned that he probably only listens to the voice in his head. How about toughing it out ManU and LvG. You ManU fans seem a little quiet on this. What do you lot want? Lvg to continue LvG out now If you want LvG out, who do you want in? along with Giggs to the summer]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotsira Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Ever since Mourinho left Chelsea, the Man Utd fans have been singing his name so they obviously want him to replace LVG. So my questions are, If Mourinho was appointed, where would that leave Giggs? Do you think Mourinho and Giggs would be successful working together? Would Mourinho want his own back room staff and therefore Giggs would have to leave with LVG? Edited December 28, 2015 by sotsira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Same same just a different team, Bayern have got back on there feet and so will united,the process of rebuilding needs to be put into the right hands Mourinio?

Bredbury Blue Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Decent 2nd half. Matic should have put his 1 on 1 away. Rooney should have put his chance away.

The mo they show its getting to them, honesty imo, its the beginning of the end for them. They shouldnt get to up when winning or low when losing, just keep balanced .

nev Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Two excellent goals and a all round much improved display by the team carrying on from the Chelsea game, thought Young was our standout player followed by Schneiderlin who makes a big difference to us when he plays. Much need 3 points in the bag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkles Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Much more committment all over the pitch.Young easily MOM doing what he does best attacking down the flank. Still a lot of improvement needed but a distinct change in attitude, The last second header from Fabianski could of course spoilt the party. Jones breaks down again,hoplessly injury prone for one so young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I so love how the tables have changed and the expectation levels of United have dropped and ours have increased. You were playing an out of form, 17th placed Swansea at home and yet you are happy with the improvement. We played an in form 9th position Watford at their gaff and are not happy with our performance. I love seeing the RAGS begging and scrounging for points 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 ^Not unhappy with City taking Football Club or FC off the badge, but i personally would have preferred Manchester City FC on the badge. But I do like the look of the new badge; going back to the one I grew up with. Also appreciate the owners bothering to look in to the badge; I'm not aware of any ulterior motives on their part.

Bredbury Blue Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 So Nev, who's ManU player of the season at the halfway mark? The goalie I'm guessing. At City it be Fernandinho, Hart and Sagna has put a shift in and been a pleasant surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degea for sure, apart from him all others have been inconsistent, Smalling and Schniderlin Schweinstiger and Martial are the only ones who I would say have had a decent season.

SantiSuk Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) This is a much better table than Mr Bo's attempt at a link! Total seasonal spend stats, not just summer. No idea about the accuracy Source: http://www.transferleague.co.uk/premier-league-last-five-seasons/transfer-league-tables/premier-league-table-last-five-seasons. No real surprises considering what we all know form ad hoc reports over the years, other than: West Ham not far off Arsenal's modest tally - ridiculous given relative performance levels Everton has been well managed financially How extraordinary is Spurs given they have been in one or other form of Europe over the period? I'll leave you all to pick holes - don't shoot the messenger! Edited January 4, 2016 by SantiSuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
