    Please post more often!! There are used to be numerous posters to amuse me but
    that number is dwindling. Even the Chelsea fan is only around when they win :(.

    Certainly sleeping better than Liverpool fans fella. How much money have you spent for being 10th? Leave the grown ups to discuss league titles and Champions League football. The level is above you :)

    And the delusion premiership too. <laugh>

    Mass hysteria, mass delusion you name it. But at least one of them is sceptical and has his feet firmly on Earth (astro) and thinks he is not as good as people think <whistle>

    I stand by my OP, like it or not they are right in it.

    Just because he joined Liverpool I'm not going to start pretending he's a ****e coach, I've always rated him and would have had him ahead of van Gaal for certain.

    Did any of you watch them beat Saints on Wednesday by the way? They were good, it would be lovely if we could play that sort of football. It doesn't make them champions of course but it's a better showing then we've managed all season.

    Aye, if they can develop some consistency in the league then they will be well up there and challenging. Thus far they have shown they can batter sides, even decent sides like City, but every time they batter one they then fall back to earth in the next game, losing to Palace and needing a dodgy penalty to squeeze past a Swansea side that is losing to pretty much everyone at the moment.

    As some of their more level headed posters have been saying on their board, if they can't sort out the consistency, particularly at home, then they will be struggling to make 4th spot as us, City, Arsenal and Spurs are consistently getting the results to keep us up there, and getting the points when we need to.

    *note to astro I don't give a **** about how many games you've won the the Europy or Capital One as they have **** all to do with the league

    At least you've got the decency to put United ahead of the RS.

    We won't hold this against you. We all suffer from brainstorms from time to time. We won't be seeking your deselection...*cough*

    The passage of time allowing for changes applies to things other than just the #bbcsalford home page

    "Lots"?

    Get a grip Christian.<laugh>

    btw RHC's thread is based on the opinion of a " deluded " Utd supporting hack.

    "I really don't think we can win the prem this season. However, I had a chat with my reporter mate at lunchtime. He is of a different opinion (remember he's an avid manc). He said if we go on a run, we could do it. The reasons he gave me are as follows.

    Manchester City: Clearly not the same team from the first 5 matches of the season, as you ably demonstrated, and Aguero may be out for a month.

    Arsenal: Serious injury problems and lack of squad depth is a major issue.

    Manchester United: We are **** and only where we are because the whole prem is ****e.

    Chelsea: Just too far behind to have any chance of winning it.

    Leicester City: Will blow up sooner or later, probably when they play you.

    No mention of anyone else.

    We're 6 points off top with a run of winnable games coming up. He's a gambling man and he's putting some serious money on us, as he thinks there's a genuine possibility. I'm not, but I'm going to havea fiver on it.

    So do you share his views, or is it just 'unthinkable'?"

    For the record i would be happy with a 4th place finish and looking at the state of the league this season thats not a delusional possibility.

    BTW @Stan here's a hint for your copy and paste #obsession :

    When the LC draw against Southampton was first made I (and many others) thought it was the only match that there was any doubt over the outcome. It's true that all the other matches were comfortably won by the obvious favourite, but it turned out Klopp produced the biggest margin of victory of all (even with a team of mostly reserves)

    What baffles me is that you lot take this blokes word as if gospel because he's a reporter.

    Why does being a reporter mean you are some football expert? Most are a millions miles from it.

    I don't Ruff, I think he's a figment of RHC's imagination.:bandit:

    If he genuinely exists I couldn't give a flying one what his opinion is on any given subject, opinions are like arseholes, we've all got one.

    <laugh> ... spot on ... John Cross of the Mirror was most vocal about us being relegation certainties having appointed Claudio Ranieri ... oops never mind John ... we do still need another 11 points to reach that 40 point 'safety barrier' <laugh>

    ... it is also obvious that the ratings in fantasy footie competitions such as the Sun's 'Dream Team' are quite often figments of the imagination of statisticians that certainly didn't watch the game <laugh>

    Thanks @astroturfnaut for your #post but I don't speak #melt so don't know #whatthefuckyoureonabout. Do you get a #boner every time you use a #hashtag?

    I've intimated this to RHC a few times! He's a low grade hack for a regional rag!

    It's as inevitable as the other melt claiming a "bite" when he's got a little too frayed!
