and fergie doesn't just throw money at things.
although he needs to in this window otherwise we wont get the players we need.
the BBC is just across the canal from old trafford.
fergie retire? nah, although he got tactics wrong last night, his plan wasn't helped by the stupid conceding of corners.

although if fergie did retire, guardiola, is available, but i cant seem him retiring.

Well if you we need money we can always count on our good friends. Since Arsenal and Man City have done it, we should replace them Glazers too :)

Also, I'm curious as to what you English folk think about the new England Manager.

Edit: I think Pep would fit better in Arsenal if you ask me.

I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.

ROY HODGSON NEW ENGLAND COACH

 

[shade]

my opinion on woy as the new coach: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeehh

 

[Dozz]

Arsenal and Chelsea is a much more credible derb....

I'm pretty sure there's a more heated derby that Arsenal are involved in every year....

Uncle Woy in the England Job! It's poison chalice, but I hope he gets a chance. He's no mug, decent history, so, let's just see what he can get out of these players.

 

[Django]

Lets get behind him and see how he does.

Yeah I don't mind Hodgeson at all, the problem is whether the players are going to put a shift in or are they going to sulk. I'd love to see Crouchy in the squad, he's got heading ability and good technique, his international record is amazing and most importantly he actually wants to play for England. I'd rather play a person like that than someone who doesn't look like they're bothered.

double post cos I love Utd fans:

lolo

Almost as good as Liverpool a few years back:

HAHAHAHAHA

oh god that's so good!

 

[The QWAZ]

Everton have wolves next, should be 3 points easy. Sorry liverpool but the power balance in liverpool has shifted towards the blues now.

 

[phalanx]

the way liverpool are going they will be behind tranmere soon:P

 

[Phadunk]

For this season, yes. But it won't be next year. Not at all.

:( i still remember that match. rafa bottled it big time by leaving bellammy and crouch on the bench.

 

[Django]

Bringing on Finnan in the dying moments was a stroke of genius imo.

 

[Zoro]

another Pool loss, Everton now 3 points ahead

 

[Phadunk]

You would never see another "big team" in the league put out the type of squad Liverpool did today.. even with a cup match 4 days away.

No respect for the league at all.

 

[No Luck Involved]

With all this talk of Manchester and England, I've almost forgotten:

Prince Poldi signs for Arsenal!

Beast, I'm going to use this opportunity to extrapolate and assume M'Vila and Vertonghen are on their way. Get in Arsene!

 

[phalanx]

liverpool lose at home no matter who they field.. so they may as well rest the players :P

 

[Dubby]

Phalanx do you ever talk about anything that isn't Man United or Liverpool?

 

[phalanx]

yes, i talk about what everyone else is talking about + poke fun at liverpool

 

[Phadunk]

To be fair.. they're the most talked about clubs in this thread.

 

[Metal Bagon]

...but for all the wrong reasons (mainly).

 

[Dozz]

I don't know if anyones seen todays headline on the rag that is The Sun, but it's pretty disgusting if you ask me. Here's the link to the story.
The Sun Blasted for Bullying New England Manager
I like a joke as much as anyone, but a national publication really should be getting behind the new maanger, rather than trying to make a public laughing stock out of him already. This is not the attitude we should see to the new man in charge of our national sport.

 

[Lee]

it's the sun - i wouldn't even use it as emergency toilet paper.

cough

 

[No Luck Involved]

That only lowers my opinion of The Sun, but then I realised it couldn't possibly get any lower so yeah, not even going to pay it any attention at this point.
