Premier League Thread

It does seem rather cruel and unnatural expecting Young and Valencia to be wingbacks. I wonder how they have offended Van Gaal to deserve such a punishment.

 

Great call ref. when will Young learn? When he becomes Old?

 

.

 

Indeed.

 

Brilliant!!!

 

Young is a disgrace really. How many more times will he dive.

 

You need to take a long hard look in the mirror if you didn't buy a lottery ticket this weekend. That's twice in two days

 

Have to admit Sunderland look good...should have it easier than last season.

 

Great goal keeping.

 

This is an abysmal Manchester United team. Worst I can remember.

 

I thought with Van Gaal in, United had a shot at the title. I've now concluded I have no ****ing idea about football (something you lot may have realised prior to this point!)

 

They were already going downhill when Ferguson dragged them to their last title. Moyes didn't have a chance without purchasing a new team. This is going to be interesting as they now have a manager good at handing out blame to other people...seems a right charmer.

 

But this is what makes us all qualified as forum pundits

 

Wondered if it would be best to play them now while they're carp or later after we've, um bedded in our new boys including hopefully a couple of signings this week. Then I remembered they would no doubt be splashing 4 times what we would before next Mon.

Burnley & QPR up next for them, gentle intro to the Prem for that other dutch bloke. Shame they didn't get Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City in the first month, love to see what they'd do if there were no points after 4-5 games.

 

Without a doubt. When I, and so many others, said that Utd team was probably the worst side to ever win the PL, it wasn't jealousy or sour grapes. It was the truth.

The moment that the Ferguson aura, the Ferguson fear - call it whatever you want - was lifted, the actual quality of the squad (or rather, lack of quality) has been on full display for all to see.

 

*nods* ain't that the truth!

 

Shows why Sir Alex was the best. Got every ounce of quality/work rate/luck whatever you want to call it, out of his players. Like others have said, the players are woeful.

 

1 point... Same as Man U but at least we have played a top 4 team away and have a clean sheet already

 

United paid 63 mill for Angel. Overpaid, but they need quality players.

 

That should have gone on CM and CB though, they have no idea what they're doing by the looks of it.
