Lol, if I think what you mean by Jaegerbombs no way. I have sciatica, asthma and a weak heart muscle, one push up is my limit and when I try that I stand up with a smile on my face.........and then collapse on the sofa and take a puff on my asthma pump, it's only United that keeps an old git like me going. Sciatica SUCKS Same thing here, but have really pushed the weight back down and have moved from a zimmer with wheels to a cane now to get about Hoping by Sunday to be able to do few steps of the Grampy dance when United start raining goals on those fookers!@ |

I prolapsed 2 disks in April and have been struggling through each day with sciatica from my buttock to my toes (although the nights are actually the worst). Have had to work (I bought a company 2 years ago and work in it, hands on). No exercise (or refereeing) since the incident and have put on 5 kgs through my inactivity. New medication (am now off the opiates, thank goodness!) and pilates sessions are sorting me out and I'm coming good. I hope you guys do too! |

Few things I would like to point out, and wonder if anybody else agrees. I was against Jose's signing because I fear what will happen to our academy in 3 years time, but nonetheless I am pleased with the present.
1. Squad and clear roles
- JM has had such a positive influence on Valencia and Fellaini, two largely maligned players. Valencia to me plays how JM used Maicon at Inter, using his strengths, but he still has quite a few defensive brain farts. I dunno if you guys saw that quote from Ander Herrera calling Valencia the 2nd best RB in the world after Dani Alves, but come on son. Valencia is a stop gap, while hopefully TFM develops.
Fellaini. Not much for me to say that isn't obvious, but he appears to be keeping Schneiderlin out of the team which is very interesting. I feel like Schneiderlin + Pogba would complement each other well, and not just because they're French.
-- Conversely, it's obvious to me that he's told players like Young, Rojo, Carrick that their time will come later in the season. Hopefully they accept being squad players for now.
2. Martial at the moment looks like a frustrated player out on the wing. I hope he realises his development out there will help his end product in the middle. He really does remind me of Ribery pre Bayern days. The next step is to see what his relationship with Luke Shaw will be like.
3. Luke Shaw. Thank God we got him instead of Chelsea.
4. I know it's early doors, but I believe a clear instruction has been made to our midfield to back themselves into actually DRIBBLING past the first man. Pogba obviously stood out, but I noticed Herrera, Mata, Valencia, even Fellaini looking to dribble out of some tight spots, when we all know what would have happened last year. Once Mikki gets fully integrated- look out.
5. How good is it to see players taking shots from OUTSIDE the box again?
6. Bailly- I love that sometimes he just goes "Fk it, clear the ball (and the man if necessary), ask questions later". Every team needs a CB like that.
7. Remember that feeling under SAF when we were chasing a goal? We were REALLY FOOKING LOOKING for a goal. Waves upon waves, corner after corner or goal attempt. I distinctly recall thinking that on the weekend about the time Pogba had that shot in the first half (the one that was saved easily), and then lo and behold Zlatan scores a few minutes later.

After 10 matches we were 7 points away from the top 4, and 8 from 2nd.
After 15 matches we were 6 points away from the top 4, and 10 points from 2nd.
After 20 matches we were 3 points away from the top 4, and 5 points away from 2nd.
After 24 matches*, we are 2 points away from the top 4, and 5 points away from 2nd.
*The boys will cut the gap even further as we grab a win today.
We can still run away with 2nd or 3rd + the Mickey Mouse treble.

Ronald Koeman has confirmed that Everton would be interested in signing Wayne Rooney – if he becomes available.
Rooney spent eight years at Everton, joining as an 11-year-old in 1996, before moving to United for £27million in 2004.
He scored 17 goals in 77 games for the Toffees, before winning multiple Premier League titles and one Champions League among a collection of trophies with United.
But the captain faces an uncertain future at the club, as he is no longer a first-team player under Jose Mourinho.
Koeman has confirmed that, should the 31-year-old seek a move in the summer, his former club would be interested.
“I still think Wayne Rooney is playing at a high level and he made a good choice staying at Manchester United and in the Premier League,” he told Sky Sports.
“He still has two or three years in front of him to play at the highest level. What will happen at the end of the season, I do not know. In my opinion he’s one of the players who can make Everton stronger than they are now.
“It’s all about what the player likes, what Manchester United need to do and we are not involved in that project. Every player who we feel can make the team stronger is welcome at Everton.”

"United’s flag is deepest red, it shrouded all our Munich dead. Before their limbs grew stiff and cold, their heart’s blood dyed it’s ev’ry fold. Then raise United’s banner high, beneath it’s shade we’ll live and die. So keep the faith and never fear."
