Manchester United

Just weak I think; didn't have sufficient testicular mass to do something DBF wouldn't like.

Sponsorship falls next year if no C/L also - Adidas have penalty clauses also

Might get a bit bumpy next year, especially if they buy big and don't deliver.

Barring AON and local deals, all sponsorship deals were in USD - They'll take hit again on conversion at year end as they need to transfer back GBP for reporting.
Cant confirm but heard net debt will increase beyond £500m in June.
In addition, Glaziers management fees set to rise in accordance with fee structure agreed 2 years ago, and I can't see that being changed now - Talk about a cash cow
Glaziers also looking at a full float towards the end of the sky deal.

If floated, cash pressure would force lower fees paid for Utd.

Still have loads of cash tho

Anyone seen their first goal vs St. Etienne? **** me, as bad as it gets. First a RIDICULOUS non-existant foul for the free-kick, and then the shot itself... Don't know what these cunts did to get so lucky but It's unbearable.

And celebrated like it was a worldie.

They're still singing about Ibra's hattrick. All I saw him do was walk around a bit, try to play the high line and knacker himself out after 2 runs, walk around a bit more. Did I mention missing an open goal?

Then, realising that he'll get found out, went down like a sack of potatoes twice getting two goals. And having the goalie glove the ball to his feet for free for another one. A word on Rufiet (Etienne keeper) I thought he reminded me a lot of Mig. Some great saves matched with some right f*ck ups in the same game.

Was just like their league games where they struggle and look dreadful but a corrupt official is there to help as usual.

Big nose f*cker been stinking out my FF team for weeks and then goes and does that.

Ahh well, longer they are in the competition the better, even if Mourinho already has his excuses out for when they get found out by saying they don't want to be there.

Oh definitely better they're still in it. Despite this season's EL being much poorer than last season Utd still look ordinary. We need them to progress at least to the semis.

Serves you right

[ChesterDave]

At 'least' the semis? There isn't much more after the semi's.

I don't want that shower of *******s being 90 minutes away from CL football. **** em. They are ordinary and going out of EL in last 16 won't change that

[red g]

do they take a top 4 spot away or is it an extra place?

[ChesterDave]

It would be a 5th spot

[RichC]

Sooner they go out the better. I can actually see them bloody winning it which wouldn't be especially if they miss out on the top 4

Just seen they play their second leg tomorrow and not Thursday because St Etienne and Lyon can't play at home on the same day apparently. A very convenient extra days rest ahead of the Cup Final.

Should we all alert the French authorities to this apparent huge security risk as they've deemed it perfectly fine that St Etienne and Lyon play home games this coming Sunday.
