Manchester United

The downside to all this is that Everton will have a shed load of Manc cash to actually purchase players from rather than loaning the entire universe.

[RedReet]

Lukaku, Barry and Deulofou will need replaced, plus Distin, Osman and Pienaar are getting on a bit. They need quite a bit of investment IMO.

[Pablo]

I think they'll sign Barry. He'll probably be their top earner too

[dww]

I think Barry will make a permanent move. Wouldn't rule out Deulofou being there next season (probably another loan) either. In general though I agree that they will have to rebuilt in the next year or so.

Anyone think Moye will go back for Penis after having spunked out £28m on Felatio?

World leaders express concern as Liverpool annex Man Utd

Leaders around the world have resolutely condemned the annexation of Manchester United football club by Liverpool FC despite a hastily held referendum showing 95.5% support among the Man U fans for secession to its more powerful neighbour.

‘The vote is completely illegal,’ said one United fan who still thinks Wayne Rooney is quite good. ‘But actually if it means we get closer ties with Europe then, on balance, ‘like’, I’m all for it.’

There has been discontent since a new leader was undemocratically appointed at Old Trafford who many now see as incapable of maintaining unity among supporters from the club’s vast geographical base which stretches as far afield as Surrey. ‘I was going to give it all up and emigrate to Wycombe Wanderers,’ said one despairing fan from Guildford, ‘but I can stick with it now. I truly believe being part of Liverpool gives my children the best hope for the future.’

In the late hours of Sunday night, heavy-armed men surrounded strategic sites around Old Trafford, insisting they were only there to protect the well-being of the many who wanted to switch allegiance, and throwing a defensive cordon around the pie van.

‘They don’t have any identification and they’re not wearing team colours, but then they try to sell you kitchen implements you don’t need, crack loads of jokes and, if anything gets heated, repeatedly tell everyone to calm down,’ said Old Trafford groundsman Bert Trout, who had become increasingly concerned about the direction the club was taking. ‘They can deny it all they like but the whips, the furry hats, the false number plates; they’re obviously Scousers. Thank God someone who knows what they’re doing is here to sort this mess out.’

While relieved to be free of the old regime, some of the Manchester fans admitted to unease and apprehension for any trophy success this year. The global tension tangibly lifted when Liverpool insisted that Man Utd would still have a great deal of autonomy and installed Ken Dodd as new interim manager.

Nicked from recafe, they have a thread dedicated to depressing things

Liverpool: Why oh why did they have to get good this year? Ferguson retires, United being managed into mediocrity by a former Everton manager, Rodgers looking like a genius, Liverpool competing for the title, Suarez looking like a POTY shoo in, even Jordan Henderson turning into a star. Jordan effing Henderson! It's like every scouse prayer has been answered all at once this season. Maybe its karma for two decades of us keeping them firmly squashed under our heel. Karma is a bitch.

Thats great that is. Even have a smidgen of sympathy for the Manc who wrote that.....nah, ****it, I don't actually.

This one's good about tonight's game too:

Can't we just break the rules and go ahead and play Mata anyway?

What's the worse that can happen? A lunch-money fine? David Moyes getting a lengthy ban? Playing a few games of the Europa League under closed doors? None of those things are particularly damning..

He wouldn't add anything anyway. Has looked ****e since he signed for them. Flanno absolutely murdered him on Sunday

could see the odds of Van Gaal going there in the summer tumble after the next week!!! Although he did say he wants to come to England to win things Although that counts out Spurs & Utd!

i'm sure i posted about this early on in the season

i had an interview/spent a day with the area manager of a job i was going for.,

he was a clueless cunt of man utd.

iirc it was about 3 or 4 games in - so we started well, but it was early days with utd/moyes

he was ripping LFC, suarez, henderson, rodgers etc - and wouldn't have a bad word said about moyes.

i put forward, balanced/fair arguments without crossing the line as of course i was also trying to not piss the guy off

he wasn't having it - i remember walking away thinking of loads of stuff i wanted to say....


i didn't get the job - i'd love to get in touch with that cunt now

[Sarb]

Their fans are dicks

Shocking stat for Rooney. No home goals for Rooney since October!
