Skirge Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 if it's Shola-Smith up top I'll probably bleed my eyes out in pain. As soon as the starting line up is announced and includes Smith and Shola I may very well just turn the TV off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 no way will we start the season with either of them in our team, i just simply will refuse to believe it is true until the day i die, and then if i wake up in the afterlife and it turns out to have been true then i'm applying for a transfer to the devils side; an eternity of pain and suffering has to be preferable how could the summer have come to this, i'll genuinely be devastated and might well lose faith in humanity EDIT: shit, keep forgetting to point out when i'm being tongue in cheek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago_shearer Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 It won't be Smith and Shola. If it is Smith and Shola against the European Champions, then it means the team aren't taking the game seriously and there won't be any point in watching. I could find something better to do on Sunday morning than watch those two take the piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Regardless of injuries to either side, this will be a simple and comprehensive home win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Regardless of injuries to either side, this will be a simple and comprehensive home win. Yup. In fact although I'm pissed off the Jonas and Coloccini situations look like they'll be unresolved, Owen, Martins and Viduka will be missing and we'll be going into the game with a generally crap side, our season starts against Bolton. We were always going to lose at Old Trafford, so I'm not going to lose too much sleep over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 How the feck can Jonas still not be sorted, its ages since he agreed terms. Could it be a case of KK bluffing to try and surprise Taggart with an unexpected line up ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Regardless of injuries to either side, this will be a simple and comprehensive home win. Spot on. We generally lose this fixture anyway so I've already written it off seeing as we're seemingly short of most of our quality players. Take the punch and move on.

We were always going to lose at Old Trafford, so I'm not going to lose too much sleep over it. dave, genuine question here given our 'stances' during the summer; what do you think of the clubs "performance" with colo & guti? what i'm getting at is that i can't think of another club, perhaps granted there aren't that many of them as you don't tire of pointing out, who have transfers dragging on like we do in fact the villa transfer of shorey/young is a right slap in the face for the "transfers don't happen overnight crowd" - so what's going wrong with us then?

Wullie Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 We don't know anything about the club's "performance" with Coloccini and Jonas.

I realise your question wasnt aimed at me but it does raise some things i've been concerned about. The Guttierez registration farce seems incredibly amateurish. If we dont have his registration now (and the bugger was signed at the very end of June!) when are we going to get it? If Mallorca have refused to release it, why haven't we been badgering UEFA to step in? I cant imagine any other clubs just sitting back with their thumb up their arse waiting for a hacked off Mallorca to play ball. Secondly the Colo deal. In some ways the media black out is not a bad thing but its misleading and worrying for the clubs supporters when nothing is mentioned. We've been on the brink of signing this guy for weeks now and still no confirmation, not even an update on if and when he will be joining. I really think neither will be involved at Old Trafford and that alone will show us up to be amateurs. This shite just wouldnt be tolerated at other clubs.

Cajun Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 How do we know we haven't been badgering the FA about out? As we all know we are hardly a club that shouts every action to the press these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
