Ripping it all up is probably the best thing the next manager can do.Quote:

I was listening to someone the other day on the radio (can't remember who at the moment) that was saying he's the only capable player to play in the proper central midfield position for England this summer.Quote:

I think it's time we threw everything into reverse and BACKED THE MANAGER. New midfielder, two new wingers, maybe a top, top centre-back, shuffle Rooney on, don't buy anybody from Everton...
C'mon Leicester. :cool:
Make that one winger. I forgot about World Clashley Young.
Wouldn't be surprised to see United buy Lukaku this summer. Good shout?
Been seeing some stories on that this very day. Makes sense, though Mourinho taking over would surely scupper that.
Just seen that De Laet is on to win both the Premiership and Championship in the same season. Incredible.
I'm calling the title there. Seven points to Spurs? All over.
Long way to go chief. We'll get em in onenils
You're getting another three point swing just off Chelsea, we'll be baying for Tottenham blood when they come to the Bridge but practically cheering you on in the last game. It's done.
I would rather let Anthony Martial play up front and spend the money on actual wide players.
The 8 goals this season Martial? I suppose that can partly be attributed to terrible team performances / tactics, and the fact he's still developing. Not sure if he's an out and out striker, though.

We won't. Two wins and a draw will do it from here. We'll beat Swansea and Everton. We'll get more than another point from the rest, probably quite a lot more. The final whistle felt huge today. Properly under pressure to extend our lead, facing a good side chasing Europe who came for the win. But we held out.
This lot have got what it takes to close a season out. They've done it for the past two seasons, albeit under different circumstances. Okay the prize is much bigger now, but they know exactly how to get over the line and achieve their objective.
This Alex Ferguson programme is good. So many unbelievable players out there. Fantastic managers too.
The boy Delalli at Tottenham gets a good write-up.
That's the one point that would have me believing. I probably haven't given them enough credit in being able to handle the pressure due to the unknown, but they were probably under even more pressure this time last season and came through with flying colours.Quote:

The best thing about him is the whole Liverpool transfer committee story.Quote:

Only An Excuse used to do some great sketches based on Ferguson's inability to pronounce certain things. The jokes tended to be brilliantly shit too.Quote:

Pepe Guardiola. I reckon he's trolling.
Get him on the punditry. Imagine the fun he'd have with Fosu-Mensah, and Morgan Schneidstieger.
He probably thinks Adnan Januzaj is fictional.
Lukaku has said he wants Champions League and he has a pushy agent. United might finish 4th, but if you want Champions League you're probably gonna go somewhere that has it nailed on every season. PSG seem pretty likely.
I could see him at Atletico. I think he'd be pretty class there. Or maybe he'll go to Italy to get racially abused.
Atletico is a good shout, assuming whatever they get for Griezmann is enough to make Everton sell up.
People wanting Champions League football is a bare faced lie anyway. If you wanted that you could go to Olympiakos. What they want is to be paid a lot more money, ideally to do a lot less work.
Well, everyone wants to be paid more. I think he means he wants a crack at winning the CL.
He might mean that, but he's not good enough to expect it.Quote:

He'll go to United if we're interested and get paid shitloads.
Isn't he a Arsenal fan. I remember reading it somewhere. The only reason he chose Chelsea was because of his Idol Drogba I think.
I might crusade against it like Taz did with 'Bentekkers'.
I think Martial and Rashford both look like they'll be class. Be a shame to see a squillion quid spent on binning their chance to develop.
Everyone always says they want to see youngsters come through the academy and establish themselves, but seemingly not at the expense of short-term success
That Simpson miss :|
I'm aware Martial cost a squillion pounds himself and didn't come through the academy but I'd still prefer we gave him the chance to develop than spend another £40+m on an established player.
I was out of my seat before he met the ball, the bastard. He was brilliant today though, so I'll forgive him.Quote:

The Simpson handball was never a pen. Ever.
