We've drifted a further half point in the betting, now a whopping unprecedented 13/2 for a home win with B365.. Definitely backing that. |

Got a family wedding tonight. I'd wager decent money that I'm the only United fan there (trying to secretly brainwash my 2 1/2 year old nephew behind the back of his scouse dad though, actually had him saying I luf manited the other day so I'm making progress) with a bunch of scousers. I will unashamedly look every one of the cunts in the face and tell them I want us to lose tomorrow. They'll call me a prick and obssessed but fuck it. It's not obssessed, it's hatred for THE rival. I don't want them to win the league ever again. Absolutely.
As I alluded to the other day here on this board, I'm still hearing about bloody Istanbul and that was 14 years ago.

1. I really could care less how much money our grubby cunting gremlin owners add to their coffers. The more money they lose, the happier I am. 2. Any footballer that wants to play for a club only to play in the Champions League can fuck off as well because they'd be just another merc looking for a payday. That's why we need to act like the Bayern of England and snatch every top English talent there is. They'd know (in all probability) what it means to play for the greatest football club in England. I want footballers who want to play for Manchester United, not UEFA Champions League. Lol so buying the best English talent is a pre requisite for success? Probably a strategy to avoid. So how's the current strategy working out for you then ? |

That's not what I'm getting at, every good young player we're being linked to is being linked to other top clubs, and unless the player happens to be a diehard United fan they'll make that decision objectively based on the offers made (along with their agents of course). Say as a hypothetical we're in for Jaoa Felix, there's also talk of Juve being heavily interested, United can offer better wages so that's a feather in our cap, chances of trophies that puts Juve in a better position. Champions league football in the first season vs Europa league could swing it, if he can't have that here there's every chance he chooses Juve. It's not the be all and end all but it's valued by players therefore it's important. I hear that Felix lad is a great player. If we make top 4 and he comes here what then happens when miss out on top 4 in a couple of seasons and Real show interest? My bet is that he'll agitate for a move. I'm all for signing a strong British/Irish core with a top work ethic before we start decorating it with the cream of Europe. If we miss on the likes of Felix until we strengthen this spineless squad then so be it. Regarding Felix? Yes Juventus are definitely interested and I also saw a report today that the Bertie's are showing interest in the kid. |

Thinly veiled "lose at all costs tomorrow". Well in Danny.

here`s my take on the liverpool/man city title situation. we all had weeks/months to prepare ourselves for this situation and most in here knew exactly what they want to happen. i was one of the minority that i just couldnt decide what i want and i know i`ll be in the minority here. liverpool winning the league would be a nightmare, absolute nightmare. it will hurt and it will be absolutely horrific. however, i personally have come to the conclusion that i want us to win tomorrow. analysing the signs in recent years, liverpool are back. they are challenging for the premier league title and for the champions league. i dont think they will go away so the chances of my absolute nightmare of liverpool winning the league are not as low as i would wish for and there is a real chance of it happening, as much as it hurts me to say that.
however, i`m also quite convinced about the fact that we dont need champions league football next year for a rebuild. if we target young english/irish players and other talent in world football, it wont matter too much if we play in the champions league or not. but as a united supporter for 2 1/2 decades i expect and demand the club to compete with the best in the world, in other words - champions league football. if we go for the huge rebuild and have all the talents next season, i want them to experience elite football, whether we have a chance of winning it or not. i want ole to work at the highest level possible with the players and squad he desires. one year out of champions league wouldnt be the end of the world, i certainly know that. but that is my demand to the club i support.
having said all that, 2 short points that i want to include. being in the situation that i was in that i just didnt know what to wish for for tomorrow, i have 100% understanding for everyone who wishes for a loss against city. no problems with that from my point of view and i completely understand where you`re coming from. there wont be any bad blood from my side.
2nd: as most of you know i`ve been struggling with my life for the last few months, staying home from work now for 4 months already. my work contract got actually terminated last week so i`m officialy unemployed now while actually still trying to get healthy and back to my old self. having to experience that in recent months, my personal priorities have changed. football is still there and the first part of ole`s arrival helped to feel better but at the end of the day my current priority is my health, my family and my personal life. then comes united. so as much as it would hurt me to see the scouse lifting the title, shortly after i will have way more important things to figure out than thinking about those pricks.
i just wish someone could guarantee me that if we win tomorrow, liverpool still wont be lifting the title in may.

Everyone should look at this like game of thrones. Sure we hate Cercesi aka Man City but she is an evil we have got used to and is much more easy to defeat in the long run. The Night King is Liverpool and as someone that lived through the last long night ( late 70s/80s) i can assure you that if Liverpool win all will turn to darkness and they will continue to march on until everything is dead and ruin.
