    And this fixation on FFP - we don't have to submit the books on a daily basis, there comes a time in the FFP year when we have to balance the books for sure, but we still have the cash to buy players and to sort out FFP later on. If we don't get the right players and kick on quickly, this season could be lost already.

    Look around you, we are below Forest and already have a negative goal difference after just two games - almost a carbon copy to the start of last season and it was those early results that cost us dear.......................

    Yeah true, if we had won those first two games the extra 6 points would have got us 3rd <laugh>

    That’s the part that I find repugnant besides the charges. When something happens at United, everyone has an opinion on it and what the club needs to do. You would think that the club itself committed the crime as the moral police come running out. The pressure is actually immense when you think about it.

    I was watching David Moyes speak so brightly about never ever doubting playing a player that is being accused of gambling. I thought he was talking about a war hero. If that was a United boss, he’d probably be charged by The Crown.

    This is a terribly hindsight wisdom. At some point last season, we were actually coming closer to the top. Winning the league is about momentum and we had too many stop starts. Perhaps had we started with 6 points, meaning we would have gained momentum early on, it is highly likely we would have had more than extra 6 points on the board at the end of the season.

    Maybe if we had started with 6 points other teams would have looked at us differently and shut us down fo 0-0 draws.

    So many maybe's :emoticon-0100-smile The fact is that after two games we are 3 points better off this season, now all we have to do is play the next 10 like we did last season.

    Greenwood stretching the truth a little when he says he was cleared of all charges - you weren't son, the case never got to court, but you were found guilty in the court of public opinion and that opinion is what influences them to buy a sponsors products or to shift the goods of the many companies that endorse you - that's your problem. Best you get yourself off to Saudi Arabia where they don't give a **** about women's rights, plus you get to play tag with that other deviant CR.

    Mate if you're a baller they don't give a fck about women anywhere on the continent. This obsession with Saudi seems to be the narrative everyone's jumping on. Yeh Saudi are ****s, but the likes of Spain, Italy, France are no saints, they will give zero fcks as long as he's banging in the goals or tearing it up on the right wing.

    The world is full of contradictions. We can’t claim to care about rights of women and whatnot, yet the so-called bad wolves are given unfettered access to institutions across the western world. At the end of the day, it’s all about using narratives and controlling it. Most societies are deeply conflicted. Money talks! Not morals, unfortunately.

    “Rachel Riley condemns Manchester United CEO over Mason Greenwood. Riley agrees that Richard Arnold should consider position”

    These people are insane! What more do they want? People like Neville do too much damage with their mic induced opinions.

    I honestly don’t know who she is. But lately when I search for United, her sht keeps coming up about how she will no longer support the club. Along with Neville’s analysis of the analysis.

    Mount is out for two games. Should be interesting to see what happens with him being out. It will probably coincide with some good performances that are due regardless of who of playing but we can anticipate it being tied back to playing without Mount.

    Thank god, now we can restabilise, regroup and play the football that we all know this squad is capable of. Timely 'injury' for Mount I feel.

    Isn’t Henderson off to Palace? So this would make sense.

    At £4.5m he won't break the bank and leaves us enough in the pot for another eight midfielders
