It really annoys me when someone gives their opinion on a team they don't support and then qualifies it with 'and that is coming from a X supporter' as if that means it carries extra weight.

You've just said it, they can just say someone delivers in High Pressure moments rather than that 'Clutch' thing.

They do but they can't buy every promising player. Also many of the promising players have made an impact in a lesser league so it's possible the big clubs how they perform in a better league with one of the lesser teams like Van Dijk to Southampton.

Is this really something that is being seriously considered. Imagine hoping a soon to be 38 year old will come and save the season. That's got to be a new low.

Some of the most rotten deadwood still remains unfortunately. Jones, Young, Rojo, Darmian and Bailly are absolutely stealing a wage. Big money for completely no return. There seems to be no consequences for poor/no performances at the club in fact in some cases they get rewarded with new contracts.

It really saddens me how low United have sunk that Lingard is seemingly an undroppable starter. How the standards have slipped and because he's so immature people think he's still a young player and give him the benefit of the doubt.

I see the Cantona over-rating is still going strong. Top 5 but never number one. The best forward United had in the prem era is RVN, it's just a shame his spell came during a lean time for United as a whole.

He looked pretty ropey in the World Cup. To me he doesn't look like a keeper who is going to command his box and his defence. I can see quite a few howlers from him this season.

Brazil shouldn’t have even made the final, Netherlands deserved to beat them in the semi final. They were the better team.

People really do get obsessed with clubs signing players. All players signed by rivals are automatically assumed to greatly improve the team and hit the ground running and have great form from the off. Whereas any signings by United are treated with great suspicion and are generally only...

Just curious why so many people think it's a given Liverpool will be challengers this season? What is the big change from last season? They still look like a dangerous cup-team to me.

Jesus wept. This is a football forum and you're giving out and saying it is boring because there is a lack of transfer gossip when the World Cup is going on. Why not actually watch some football rather than talking about bullshit transfer gossip?

What a very depressing situation that a teams success is measured in social media followers. There was me thinking it was a game played on a pitch by 22 men but no it's how many people liked your latest instagram post that will decide the result of a game.

What is the New York Stock Exchange link to transfers that people always go on about? I've never understood it. I don't believe that United need to inform the stock exchange before announcing any new signings, it just seems nonsensical when only 10% of united is floated anyway so the investors...

For the talent they had at their disposal I didn’t think they performed as they could have.
