Manchester United

I hope so, but I think that if he is forced to make changes there is a possibility they could be improved, if they could just keep those players a few years more there will be a bigger problem on the horizon.

True. An ageing squad combined with antiquated training techniques - a perfect combination, I'm sure you'll agree.

I'm going along with the trail of thought that Man Utd have little to some transfer funds available and can't afford the squad overhaul that Moyes drastically needs. Moyes was put in post to get that extra percent out of an above average squad; now he's struggling to inspire, I don't think he can threaten their place with new arrivals.

... I just don't want to get too far ahead of myself in my gloating.

Prime candidate for homesickness him. He lives over here with his Mum & Dad FFS - I reckon he'll be dying to go back to Spain. LOL.

How old is he?

[Shaggy]

22.

[dom9]

That counts as a grown man, right?

Imagine living with your parents at that age? By choice.

[Shaggy]

Haha I know. I get surrounding yourself with some friends maybe...but that seems a bit much. I reckon he'll go next summer.

Molly coddled.

That's a wonderful phrase. Molly coddled.

[Shaggy]

One word innit. Mollycoddled.

[dom9]

One word innit. Mollycoddled.

Is it? The phone predicted it two words. I assumed it knew what it was doing as I didn't know that coddled is a word in its own right.

[Shaggy]

Definitely one word. And what a word

Best thread derailment EVER!
