    Without labouring the point, no one is joining right now, and players are definitely leaving, so changes are going to happen. Ergo, it won't be the same team.

    I agree, players who demand Champions league football won't join, but then so what.

    Hopefully that means Rashford definitely leaves because apparently he wants that as well, the prick.

    It's a good squad imo other than Henderson, that's just ****ing silly.

    Bowen and Wharton are criminal omissions

    This came about as a result of Fosse's Man U Brand statement....ie I'm saying its isn't that much of a pull right now, and Man U and will attract players of a different level right now, ie players that will potentially get them into Europe, rather than building a title winning team.

    OK ... was still going when Slimani played so saw him a few times in the flesh ... but haven't been comparing them as footballers ... simply that both played for Sporting and excelled there ... but the jump from the Portugese league to the Prem is massive ...

    Wanted us to take a gamble on Gyokores when he was at Cov ...

    ... and I'd obviously forgotten about your season tickers at Sporting and Coventry ... or is it simply that you have 'an opinion'...

    Only time will tell if Gyokores can make the jump successfully....

    30 point deduction after a previous one had relegated them to the fourth tier, the absolute irony that year was they won a tin pot trophy and one of the wins in that competition in the league would have kept them out of non league football

    I’ve read that twice and I’ve liked the post. I’ll come back to it on Sunday mate. I’ve had some pretty ****ty news today so I’m sitting on my bed having some beers and struggling to cinentrate and take that all in. I’ll come back to it on Sunday. I’m fine just not taking much in.

    I rated him, just kept scoring. People said I was full of ****. They may have had a point.

    He’s become an absolute hero there. Player of the year for the whole division but more than that to the fans and he’s totally embraced the city and culture. Obviously it’s funny that he was surplus to requirements at United but it’s just nice to see a British player killing it abroad.

    I’d probably have held off until after their inevitable victory next week before risking this.

    Sorry to hear that mate. As scant consolation I do hope Sunderland can at least do something to alleviate the situation. As you know I'll be cheering your boys on.

    Actually just noticed the kick off time.

    Is that due to a minutes silence?

    <laugh> Forest have banned Gary Neville (refused commentator accreditation) for their game against Chelsea tomorrow because of his comments when Marinakis came rolling onto the pitch at the end of their game against us ...
