I think we'll be better than last year, but could easily end up mid-table again. Think we'll be in the 8-12 range as things stand. Would need some good fortune to push for Europe and some horrendously bad luck with injuries to be in any sort of danger.

This surely isn't a response to me? If it is it makes no sense No, it wasn't.

Yeah, but things like that are just conveniently ignored when it's a player people like and because everyone hates the clowns in charge.

Wouldn't you agree that he was being pretty greedy wanting a new one when he already had a perfectly good one? Sure, he said he was ready to retire here, just like Barton has, but neither is ready to take a pay cut as they get older. Sounds like they want more money if anything, which doesn't benefit the club at all.

Forgetting the hatred for Ashley/Llambias for a second, why did Nolan deserve a new contract? What was wrong with the one he had that had two years left on it?

So glad we didn't give him 4 or 5 years. Don't really care how it ended. Players today aren't loyal. They'll leave in an instant for a bigger club or a bigger payday, regardless of where it leaves their current club. So why is the club held to a higher standard when dealing with aging players? I would have been glad to have Nolan for one more year, maybe two, but certainly no more.

Yeah, not sure why everyone is blaming America on this one. The issue seems to be with the UK.

I can't even imagine what this forum would be like if Ashley lost his marbles and bid for Tevez. It's definitely someone less than thrilling and also probably bullshit. If it was close to happening or exciting they wouldn't be sitting on it until Sunday.

Grant Wahl on Twitter:

Very good - like Best myself.

It's a common term in basketball. The problem is determining when a fast break just becomes possession. Regardless, it's still interesting. Think we could be quite dangerous on the break this season, especially with someone like Erdinc added.

From?

Man Utd. on the loose in NYC...

Would definitely take him back for 4m

Going to this tonight. Pretty excited. Plan on hurling some abuse at Owen and Young.

Has anyone sent him this thread?

I know it's been a while, but have you forgotten that Irish dude on ESPN. The Onion bag guy? Haha, Tommy Smyth. Will never forget. But seriously - a dog paddling in a pool, greco roman takedowns, can of corn being used outside of baseball? Alright. Can of Corn was amazing. The Greco Roman thing...that was just weird. Dog paddling, was alright. I'm going to let that one go. If he says Frozen Rope, I'm shutting it off. You just know he's dying to say "Baba drills a frozen rope upper 90!"

Even by American standards he's saying some really ridiculous s***.

Best offside - shocking!

Based on not much at all I'm back to thinking we're going to be pretty good this season. I felt that way pre-HBA injury and the optimism has returned. Neil Sika probably has a lot to do with that.

"Can of corn for Konopka" This isn't baseball.

This thread is hilarious. "Pardjew" is just terrible.

Turn it off in your preferences. This just changed my life. You have no idea how frustrating it is trying to make a post in a match thread. I usually end up giving up.
