i'm not.

what you on about. fred was never in charge due to him being a minority shareholder. (or so some say)

if he'd been backed we'd be more fucked than we are now.

dave, there's a few ppl that have said it Never mind. sorry i didn't get it, i'm sleepy if we hadn't HAVE won neesy.......HAVE won

what does the realist in you say ? (you may want to let him withdraw first mind)

It would be if we were hunting for a new manager it's not just that. remember those times whebn we said emre,parker,duff etc wouldn't sign for spurs or everton as they couldn't afford the wages.............well neither could we. nobody is saying it's ideal. But his managerial fuckups (Allardyce isn't one imo) can't really be brought into the equation at this point in time. Aye, Allardyce had us flying up the league playing exciting free flowing football didn't he? Well except when we didn't put a shot on target against the worst team the Prem has seen. Get a f***ing grip man. nobody said he was Sir Alex. We were however, 9th at christmas 07 were we not? Have we got near that since? Clearly not a bad manager to be honest where were hull at christmas last year......not too long ago many mackems were crying out for reid to go after he finished 7th.........they could see on the pitch what was happening. couldn't you ?

completely agree i give everyone a chance......in souness's case too much but by october allardyce had to go. we'd have been relegated a season earlier.

and get mick back

Yeah he won't f*** Shearer around because he certainly didn't do the same to Sir Bob and Souness. Oh.... That's my point, he won't with shearer, he won't stand for it, and he knows it, bobby was old, souness was hated so he could do what he wanted, he can't, and won't IMO, with shearer Bobby was old?! What's shearer going to do, punch FFS's lights out? that i would pay to watch

might do. he was lucky to have ashley as a get out last time. the thing is,has fred learned from lastr time ? I hope so, but backing the Owen transfer recently suggests he hasn't learned a thing and isn't ready to admit his mistakes. he'd never admit he was wrong,i'm not even sure the owen deal was wrong although it has turned out that way. however not admitting he was wrong is different to knowing he was wrong (it's a very female trait actually)

no it would be 60 mill of his own plus 40 of a bank i'd doubt it would be 60mill of his own. didn't seymour pierce say it was two consortia/ums that were allowed into the data room.

why didn't you say then ?

i'd still be surprised if any of the playing staff left before the ownership situation is sorted.

He can't be replaced because he was their best player? Can't agree with that to be honest. I never said that. I said he couldn't be replaced The reason being, there is nobody in the world they could acquire with anywhere near Ronaldo's effectiveness but perversly as a team they might be better because of it. (more room for rooney as last season it seemed only ronaldo was allowed to wander and man utd's strength has always been movement aswell as discipline)

backed brazil to win. i thought 1/2 was a great price (£30stake). at half time i had a tenner on them to win the cup, got 3-1.

wormy on the bench like ?

I would have Chelsea or Man U for the title and Real in spain for sure but then he'd only win £82.40p

there was a couple of times tonight when onyewu looked like a tall kieron dyer.

at least west brom tried to play football.

any idea what the temp was there. saw lots of heavy coats etc. i've always thought it would be interesting to have a world cup in a northern european winter as opposed to conditions which favour south american and southern european countries.

and you don't look daft in custard creme stripes? tbf i look daft in most things.

i'd rather be in our position as i look daft in sky blue.
