Was completely uncalled for, while I interestingly agree with the point you were making, it's bad form to label someone an idiot just because they have a different perspective. Completely shuts down the chance of a civil debate
well to be blunt anyone who labels Maguire as average I wouldn't want to debate with anyway so meh

But we had Maguire then? We can’t look at it any other way. A team is the sum of its parts. Sometimes a player is just the player a team needs and completes the jigsaw butit wouldn’t be the case if the other parts weren’t there. Even then in the case of all our players the jigsaw isn’t complete because we’ve won nothing.

To say any of our players are the sole reason and single handidly dragged us, is completely untrue. Other players were outstanding in that run such as Shaw, Martial and Greenwood.
Of course everyone contributed but the impact Bruno had was such that it elevated his peers up a level. That is seen from the sheer win stats before and then after his transfer. Its a complete 180 turnaround, hence him having a bigger impact on the side than Maguire did at seasons start.

Looks like this will happen, starting to form a tasty team. If we can get a quality CDM and a backup RB (Trippier would be perfect, different style to AWB, and need to keep Telles as backup LB) we should be able to challenge this season.

It's the year 5,075,457,291. The Sun finally burns out and dies. Manchester United are still preparing a bid for Varane.

Ladies, gentlemen, and in between;

Just remember this time. This signing marks a moment of history for United to turn the tide again. And in another 20 years, you can tell your kids or grandkids, that you were there witnessing this all.

The day after tomorrow is a movie.
It's a hilariously shite one too. When they were running away from the approaching cold and managed to shut the door just in time before it got in I almost pissed myself.

I find it strange that despite all the news coming from Spain, there is nothing from the English journos.

I know it's just a joke and obviously it will take more than one good summer to shake off the reputation from recent years (and there's a long way to go this summer still), but is your post fair? I think in May, most people would have been delighted to complete deals for Sancho and Varane by the end of July! These are complex deals which take time to negotiate.

Yeah, gotta suspend a whole lot of disbelief when watching that movie! Or treat it like Batman & Robin and get drunk and laugh your ass of at all the stupidity.

I don't how people could have muppet-ed through Sancho transfer (last year and this) and still get so quickly worked up by the "preparing a bid" update. I, for one, expect nothing less a month of preparing bid. Any time less than that is a bonus.

With all these moons, should we pull down our pants and get our asses out, rather than cocks out for this one?

Mooning if you will.
