Man Utd Thread:

Always thought the same about Lee but found this yesterday. In fairness I would have laughed at it and probably did about Chadwick too at times

Slagging someones appearance is wrong. But slagging their shooting is fair game IMO.

If by appearance you mean their physical features I agree, as was the case with Chadwick its wrong and effectively bullying. However, if any of my teammates turn up with bleached blonde hair in dreadlocks through choice they can expect to come in for a fair bit of stick and I dont think there is anything wrong with that.

Because they chose to be different?

Strange sense of humour or just bantz!

Some of these are very generous.

And some are harsh.

Man Utds quarterly figures releases today give a snapshot into the problems clubs are having at present and will have going forward. Ive no link here but they're not hard to find.

On those rating linked about I thought they were very inconsistent but I suppose they are just one man's opinions at the end of the day and Ogden is decent with a well rounded view on Utd.

United have a £150m agreed overdraft which looks like will be used this summer with no ticket money coming in, every club in the top flight is going to run into issues this summer given its safe to assume nobody will be buying season tickets.

You'd think transfer fees will dip this summer for most players although getting Sancho out of Dortmund might be difficult given Dortmund don't have little debt but like most clubs in Europe they may run into cash flow problems.

I'd imagine the hard part will be the wages. De Gea on 400k, Pogba will either go or stay (on an improved contract you would imagine) and then Elephant in the room returning from Inter.

Sancho's agent would be an idiot to not ask for 500k a week, Sancho has already proved in moving from City to Dortmund that it isn't about money for him, but that gives his agent serious power. I think the same agent (open to correction) was behind a bit of a scandel in him actually moving to City in the first place.

If football gets through this global crisis unscathed i.e. things like £100m transfers and £500k a week wages continue to be the norm, then it will be nothing short of a f**king travesty.

If ever a professional sport needed to implode and reset, it's football.

Yeah, absolutely. I've said it for a long time, football needs a reality check.

It does but that will be down to TV not paying scandalous amounts for coverage and given the travel limitations there will likely be across the globe the demand for media coverage will be higher than ever

If the Newcastle United deal goes through and talk of relaxed FFP. You might see the maddest summer of them all ahead.

I was there also behind the goals with the penalties . Long aul day but a great day. Think it was a 4.30am flight out of Dublin. All day in Moscow and found a pub full of utd. The airport in Moscow going home was like a cattle market. I remember we were one of the last flights out before a storm shut them down for a few hours.

Sounds like we were on same flight, were you in the Hard Rock Cafe too by any chance  . The game wasn't on til 22.45 local time, with the et and penos it didnt finish til after 2AM. I was sat beside a rep from travel company on the way home, he reckoned there were a few on the plane not from our group but he wasn't going to query it

Ah we'll continue the theme, today is the day of all days

I have several stories relating to '99 but I'll tell this one. I was at the match and in the delirium after the final whistle we missed our coach back to Salou. We weren't that arsed and spent several brilliant hours tipping in and out of bars and cafes around Las Ramblas and enjoying the singsong with the throngs of United fans. About 3AM there was the dawning realization that we were 50/60 miles from our beds.

Taxis were as rare as hens teeth with thousands in the same boat as us but a local driver saw an opportunity and negotiated a fee of about 150 to take us to Salou. Four weary lads got into his car with me in the front. The three in the back promptly fell asleep and as we drove out onto the motorway I noticed Pedro's driving getting more and more erratic. He kept driving over the rumble strips, he was falling asleep too!!!! I thought fcuk this we're going to all die on the greatest night of our life's. My Spanish was as good as his English so conversation was out the window. I eventually woke the boys in the back and we sang Utd and rebel songs the whole way to Salou to keep the fcuker awake.

Anyway four bedraggled guys landed at the hotel in Salou about 5AM. The night porter must have took pity on us and produced a case of beer from somewhere and we watched the sunrise sipping beer on a balcony overlooking the sea. Good times 

Often wondered did the taxi man make it back to Barcelona in one piece
