    When we do it it won't be by default and we won't be midtable the next season <ok>

    I think you will find we finished outside the top 4 under Fergie too, hard to believe I know but it's true <ok>

    The only way you will win it is by default, last season was probably one of the weakest in PL history and you managed 8th so with a few teams improving this season I fear your wait may go on a while <ok>

    You honestly think you are due a bounce back like that? interesting. can't see it myself..now we wanted rid of our last manager who thought a draw against local rivals was good and told us we had to accept his own personal mediocrity...I mean style ..

    I know he said he was the only manager hat said he was brave enough to say he was title contenders. ..suppose the others thought it was just better to show it...

    That's a bloody stretch right there.


    The facts are utd are following an amazingly similar trajectory to lfc in 1990s and to Chelsea after their double. there's senior players having their say, acting the big bollocks.... there's senior staff having vanity projects etc etc...

    Mancs really ought to be worried here.

    Not after PGMOL was formed to give refs collective bargaining for Man Utd payoffs, then you became much more #consistent

    You do realise that I spent a few years on here reading about fluid attack, high press and winning the ball back in 7 seconds, now you have a totally new and innovative style (Klopp style) and instead I read about fluid attacks and high press. The difference is astounding :emoticon-0100-smile

    By being the only manager to say we can win the league he has told the players what is expected. He thinks the players/team/squad should be good enough, if they fail he will move them on and get players who want it more.
    Set the target at the top or just don't bother competing.

    Interesting view :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Which senior players do you think are having their say, acting the big bollocks?

    Do you think Mariner will be as effective for you as Webb was for us?

    Oh oh.... if the target is that then the manager is also failing.... cannot excuse the guy.

    He wanted a team spine. he got a team spine.... it's still ****.

    De Gea. . looks depressed
    Bailly. looks good but injured now and hasn't had a partner as smalling fallen apart
    Pogba. the vanity buy.
    Mkhitaryan, not sure who bought him.
    Ibrahimovic. oh dear, goals have deserted him for now. misses sitters now.

    So exactly when does he have his team cos I don't see an 11.

    Crazy but sounds about right for the size of the club. How long is the deal for?

    Webb was operating when referee accountability as a percentage of revenue was an all time low and will never be replicated again

    Hopefully by January :emoticon-0100-smile
    We will need more than 11 who know what is required which is why so many players get time in the team <ok>

    So you think Mariner will let you down over the course of the season then?

    (personally, as a percentage of revenue I think Mariner is ripping you off)

    If you haven't spotted that by now you are in real trouble. there's word several are unhappy the big man does the take training etc etc.

    For example certain players were furious at being asked to play europa v feynoord only to be dropped for watford.

    You can guess who they are, the same ones being said to be next to be sold.

    Mata doesn't trust him...

    Rooney is un happy as well etc etc.

    Good call from Barca, most teams sign for 10 years and get left behind, this way they can stay at the top with negotiating.

    Who do you know, is it some Psychic or something?
    Mata doesn't trust him :huh:
    Rooney is unhappy, I would be pissed if he wasn't
    Certain players furious about being asked to play in the EL, name names man.

    Just a guess but are you on twitter?
