This must be the best Premier League season ever? Arsenal/Man City/Chelsea in the running with Liverpool/Everton/Man United/Tottenham capable of taking points off them. I just hope it stays this close to the end of the season.
in terms of tropheys town are a massive club. What have scum won what they haven't?.Quote:

Heathens in all seriousness, do you think the majority United fans actually want to go through on Wednesday night against Sunderland? :confused:Quote:

Looking like one of the best ever season Alf, all going tits up at United and Leeds as well, could it get any better:D:DQuote:

Good to see the old sob story about the European ban stopping Everton winning the European Cup is still going strong after all these years. I think you might be re writing history mate with the 'Everton had a great team in the eighties' statement. They briefly emerged from Liverpool's shadow, had a couple of good seasons only for the pressure to get to Howard Kendall, he legged it and it all went downhill quick style. They have rarely needed the key to their trophy cabinet since.Quote:

The ban was harsh on the English clubs, I think it was because the English clubs were dominating Europe at that time. I bet the call for the ban was loudest from that shower real Madrid, who were worried your lot would pass them in European cups and I wouldn't have been surprised if they did. Strange the national team wasn't banned, probably because they were shit. They never banned the Dutch....a scary place to go at that time.Quote:

Perhaps not a good move after all for Perks, Paul Ince has just got the sack 4 days after signing him. Could his lad Tom be following out of the door at BlackpoolQuote:

Stolen from James Adams.
But we're a laughing stock.Quote:

The next? Sack Moyes. It's just not working. And i'd also get rid of Woodward because his inexperience helped sink Moyes, weeks into his new job. Everyone sort of knew that Moyes was dead on September 2 when they stumbled into carrington with a injured fellaini for £27m
No laughing Mata?Quote:

Thats what I'm finding so incredible.. proper lesson learnt.. many in 1989 were calling for Fergie's head.. now 22 games in and some, not many, are also jumping up and down...Quote:

There's talk of Dante, I've quite liked him when I've seen Bayern.
Zaha is strange, now reserve for the reserves..
Saw Bebe scored in Portugal, a screamer, though when you watch it closely it looks like he shanked it and was just a lucky swing..
and there's no chance we'd spend 30 mill on Mata and then sack Moyes... that would be a cityesque joke...
If you swap him for Vidic, you could probably get him inferno cash outlay!Quote:

Big clubs go to smaller clubs..
Everton fans refuted this.. now:

Is the common denominator in both stories...David Moyes?Quote:

So He's worth more than that now.
And regarding Jose not liking him so there is something wrong, well he's not liked a fair few. Look at Lukaku?
I think he'll be a good signing. I think he's also a statement by the Glazers, Moyes and Woodward, and its not our weakest part. But we just simply have not scored enough. I've been to a few games and we've been fairly good until 20 yards out, then nothing.. he gives us that creativity.
I'm with Iain in this. Mata is a class player and has been consistently class. So he doesn't fit into Mourinho's brand of football? Good!Quote:

I'd still have him if they are prepared to bring more in and not just him. Least it would stop the moaning but can't see it happening.
You're getting confused Ian. City sold boating to Bayern.Quote:

I hope not. I have no idea how it would happen from where we are now, but the best thing would be for the club to be in the hands of the fans. A debt free United is self-financing and we don't need a sugar daddy.Quote:
