Nice thread. It made me think of a non-English United 11 which I think would give any team a game: Schmeichel; Irwin, Stam, Vidic, Evra; Ronaldo, Keane, Veron, Best; Cantona, Law. Subs: Van der Sar, Albiston, Johnson, Muhren, Kanchelskis, Hughes, Yorke (and more like Tevez, Whiteside, Ole...

If you can, go to Virgin Media as they do throw in BT Sports which is ridiculously expensive on the Sky platform. I believe I’m paying around £85 with all sports channels as well as Sky Movies which does have the occasional good watch.

Only accept this when there’s one game to go and they’re at least 4 points ahead. To quote the shy and retiring former DUP ‘politician’, Ian Paisley, no surrender!!

The levels of incompetence shown in our footballing decisions since Woodward took control will become the standard text on how not to run a major sporting institution in the not too distant future.

Surely the Scousers’ superfluke run of the cosmos blessing every part of their football team for the last 18 months or so has to run out at some point. I am pleading to the Starchild that this moment will be on Sunday, whereupon we will see a Van Dijk own goal, Mane deciding to become a Trappist...

I still find it strange that our best player by far in the current squad is such a divider of opinion. Some people take defeat in a rather dissonant way, it appears...

I think if you’ve seen all 3 play properly (I wonder how many of those backing Cristiano have) and still think Cristiano is the most technically skilled, then I fear you may lack a little soul. May I recommend listening to Curtis Mayfield and watching again.

A lesson in this thread that may not be learned is that any judgement must be predicated on actual knowledge of the topic (yes, I’m a traditionalist). If you didn’t see Platini play, don’t comment (Platini was a bloody genius as anyone who watched Serie A in the 80s would tell you and is...

The excellent Rob Smyth argues for a longer stay at the wheel for Ole but I have a suspicion that he may be doing a classical reverse ferret cum jink (sounds disgusting but is utterly human)...

From one of our former managers that has had trouble with descriptions of players on occasion.

I can see that but sense the current malaise at United is exacerbating the syndrome from what I’ve read. I’d rather see whingeing about Brexit than your finances or naming rights!

You never know, but we need another 4/5 very good first-team players to challenge for the title and at least 2/3 more to challenge Arsenal and Chelsea for 4th. Unless we become far fitter and can run properly when needed, our team will be 5th or worse next season.

Name it Yid Army Towers, just for Dave. Apologies for being somewhat obtuse, but I was trying to say is it is rather puzzling why other teams fans get so worked up about these issues. Surely this is for Tottenham fans alone to discuss, but I’m evidently wrong.

Let him stay and buy some decent midfielders to play around him. If that doesn’t work, perhaps an asteroid could mercifully settle the debate once and for all by causing the long overdue next major extinction event (I think I’ve grown weary of this debate!).

Let David Baddiel name it.
