the CL is a money racket. Man U has been conspicuous by its absence from the tournament.

Really? How many tines have they missed out since its inception?

A lit if excellent clubs have missed out a lot more than united, why the fixation on them?

It is not a club, Stew. It is more than that. It is the theatre of dreams.

Just watched a programme on Sky about Andy Cole...Fcuk he was good. Some of his goals were amazing...yet he never gets mentioned when the United greats are discussed. Discuss ;)

Andy Cole was a great striker but it was his chances to goals ratio that would have hurt him from being regarded as one of the greats.
And to be fair with the amount of chances that team created per game, most strikers would have ended up with a bag full of goals.

Cole was a very good player, his all round play when he first came to United was average but he really did improve his all round game as time went on but unfortunately he was also slowing down. He won a lot of trophies at United and had a great career but when you win as much as United have done the last 25 years he's way down the pecking order. He's a long way off Van Nistelrooy who was comfortably the best no 9 we've had in my time watching United.

Good man screen yet another cracking contribution.

Could Mourinho win the CL with United? Of course he could, ffs City nearly got to the final this year. Also, does someone here really believe that Pochettino and Tuchel (evenhad to Google him) are better managers than Mourinho? Seriously deluded if true.

They are more likely to win stuff in the future. Is Murray better than Federer?

So would Liverpool fans rather win the CL or the EPL?? Christ its been 26 years!! But over a season Liverpool win a match its like they won the league!! Not the fact they finished the season poorly... Isn't a case of accepting poor league positions over the years and win the odd cup competition that they are happy

Just a bit. As for CL or EPL, I'd say EPL. As Bob Paisley said, that's your bread and butter. In fact I'd prefer a return to the system where it was only champions who entered it (European Cup) and screw these group stages non-events.
