    Iain I look at your race times in wonderment...why because you spend so much time on here arguing with Danbert and the Heathens, if you took your training serious you could really become a good runner...

    Pogba left because Fergie brought back a retired 30+ year old, what was he supposed to do?
    when you get old you start needing glasses to read and watch telly but also begin to see things more clearly, this will come to you. I like your faith in the club, I like the way that it ruins your week when they lose, I like the way you are prepared to stump up loads of cash to watch them. I was like that in my teens but I can see that the glazers are not interested in united but in cash. I can see no champ league next season and what that means. Every empire comes to an end. In the 70's and 80's I wouldn't have believe the dippers c@c& would drop off but it did.

    I don't... my parents have season tickets.. so if I'm back and have time I'll watch 1-2 games a season.. but tbh like my father I'd rather compete and train and watch them regularly when my legs are gone..

    I don't know, we've been poor so far yet not that far off 4th. But we need to sign, I'm not sure if the noises about no signings are just typical Fergie ruses.. I dont think we'll catch City or Chelsea.

    I think Pogba was probably right to go, but I dont think Scholes was ever a threat to him. he may come back but I suspect he'll stay on the continent. Morrison had to go.. the guy was a lose cannon and had bad influences in Manchester. He's potentially a great player but you can only have so many idiots on a pitch and we have Rooney..

    He benefitted from 10 years of work behind the scenes, from junior team to senior team.

    And a fairly decent chap called Lionel.

    Eh, where have we argued? I was saying it wasn't worth arguing with Danbert.

    Some people! Really!

    This is the kind of United fan attitude that makes what's happening so much sweeter.


    I wonder about old Bacon face though, now in his 73rd year, sat as he does, in the stand, looking increasingly like a Harry Enfield character. I wonder if he ever contemplates his drive to work on the morning of the 1st September 2008?

    That probably marked the high point of his tenure at united. European Champions and manager of a team with genuine attacking menace, he had also cemented his own position of invulnerability within the club. Glazer had come in, Bacon face had backed him (for reasons of which everyone including Roy Keane is tempted to wonder) and the trophies had kept rolling in. He probably knew Ronaldo would be able to force a move to Madrid, but he could hold that off for another season at least. Him, Rooney and Tevez really were a force of nature that further cemented his timeless reputation for swashbuckling football.

    And to the challengers? Jose had gone, Arsenal were on the decline and Liverpool were never going to win a 38 game season under Benitez. He could go on for another few years and keep those he had tamed easily at bay. He'd played the game to perfection.

    One thing he almost certainly wouldn't have given a minutes thought to, at least in any meaningful sense, was his not so noisy neighbours. He'd probably heard murmurs that they were in the shit financially. Again. And had a little chuckle to himself. 'You can always rely on City to brighten up your day' he might have thought to himself.

    And now, less than six years later, he sits in the stand while we effortlessly overtake the fruit of his labours for twenty six years. In pretty much every respect we will be a bigger and if not, better force in the years ahead - and he probably knows it. He must sit there and wish with all his heart that he was, once again, sat on the A34 on 1/9/08 thinking about where he could best deploy Berbatov after he'd signed him later that day.

    Tick Tock.

    Danbert you've got to let Fergie go.. you'll make yourself ill mate...

    He went to Aberdeen and saw off the old firm.. he came to England and saw off Liverpool... he then saw off the invincibles.. then Chelski... then took the title back off you..

    To even suggest he was scared of you is laughable..

    You stil not answered how we always have bigger attendances, even when we were in the division below... its why its laughable you wil ever have a name comparable to United, Liverpool, Barca or Real.. it's why you shout so loud....

    You also forget fair play regulations.. and Citys reliant on one guy pouring millions in.. 508 million in 6 years.. the greatest input ever in the history of the game... if he has a car accident.. city go bye bye..

    You've got to love the fact that Sir Bobby, Sir Alex and Robson are still so tightly involved.. I doubt there is a club in the league apart from Liverpool who has that... it's called history Danbert..

    Crucial away goal tonight... good result.. :-)

    Danberts favourite club to hate lost again to the bottom of the league, in a cup semi final.
