GW 23: Man Utd v Cardiff Norwich v Newcastle Southampton v Arsenal Swansea v Fulham Crystal Palace v Hull Liverpool v Everton Aston Villa v West Brom Chelsea v West Ham Sunderland v Stoke Tottenham v Man City

In the thread about it? The bit you want(if it said that) 'MMc: "The perception fans have is that the club would be happy with any finish under a Europa League place. Would tenth be acceptable?" The board suggested that this perception had been driven by reports published prematurely from the previous Fans Forum, which had misled the public about what was actually said and the context. It was restated that the club's intentions are top ten as the minimum standard, with every place higher representing a better outcome.' So basically no they dont have a problem with Europe as such, just a massive one about making the squad prepared for it at all Also this. Minutes

"Jack, I want you to draw me like one of your French gals..."

Part II tbh. There's a similar effort in page 237.

Apparently he has half a finger....or something like that! http://i.imgur.com/aOWx3LM.png?1

Glad to know the media, especially a chief sports writer, isn't biased. At least Kinnear got one thing right.

Aye, much more easier to fall over.

agree with this tbf To be absolutely honest there has been quite a long time recently where nobody would shed a tear about Cabaye going. Slightly unlucky that this is happening when he's finally putting some good form together. assuming any of it is true of course, but i agree with you for once yeah...i hope he makes it to the mackems game if he is going, goes out in style by destroying them to utter f*** and robert's his way out of the stadium Does the transfer window go beyond 31 Jan this year? Ends on the 31st iirc.

agree with this tbf He took his time to find his feet after a first season and a subsequent one where everyone sucked. Now that he's reaching his peak and is one of our best players, I don't see why we should advocate selling one of our best players especially when replacements, if any, might not have the same impact or would take similar time to settle down.

If Ashley spends a bit more and shows more ambition, we would have a higher chance of keeping Cabaye. So yes, we can blame Ashley.

I wouldn't mind that if he plays Cabella. In fact I think it will be a better deal considering Ben Arfa isn't getting time on the pitch. Doubt it will veer towards that way though.

No way.. Only one year left on his contract in the summer. Euros. Contract til 2016.

I think people didn't hate him until his pathetic dive and attempt to get Krul dismissed. Up til then there was much love for him.

I think we should be cautious and not expect too much too soon from Cabella if he does sign. He'd probably need some time to get up to speed with the new league. Ideal situation is to bed him in while Cabaye is still around but that is unlikely to happen. I'll feel more content than happy if he's Cabaye's replacement. He has undoubtedly plenty of promise but those will be very big shoes for Cabella to fill. One in, one out also means we still fail to address the lack of creativity elsewhere and options upfront. Strengthening the squad promptly in those areas with the balance from any incoming fee remains a big 'if'.

I'd be surprised if Monaco wants to make a quick buck the way filthy rich Standard Liege did.

Might as well Rafael wasn't sent off with Vidic's red and Evra's injury. Can't imagine what defence Man U will put out against the mackems as things stand.

Didn't Tiote get sent off for similar during one of our cup games?

What was this before it was deleted?

That's more of a red than Vidic's iyam.

It gets better.

Full kit wanker with shin pads again?

I wouldn't go that far. Them staying out of the CL spots will be good enough for me.
