Oh, hi there. Some of you may remember me, but most of you won't. Since it is election time, I'm back. For now. I think we're at a critical stage of our club's history. There has been a bit of media lately about the upcoming elections for the board of directors for the North Melbourne...

The Italian and German clubs might struggle in European competition, but the domestic competition is still the bread and butter for clubs. And I think there's a good case to say that the Bundeslegia is the best in Europe for the fans. They get great crowds, have terraces, great atmosphere...

Ha. :D

Oh, FFS.

That's the ridiculous thing about the takeovers of United and Liverpool. Both clubs were debt free, and both got taken over, using debt, and that debt was whacked onto the clubs instead of the owners. :mad: Great post.

On the Liverpool situation, if the holding company goes broke, then wouldn't they start the season on -10 points? That is what had happened to Southampton when their holding company went broke. The same Galactico era that failed to win any silverware in its final three seasons?

Now that you guys mention it, dental nurses are hot. Even the dental nurses who are clearly MILFS are hot.

I didn't have much of an issue with what Fergie was trying to do against Barca. We failed due to poor execution and Barca's brilliance. The Fergie tactical abilities is an interesting debate. I've never really rated him in that regard, and yet, he's delivered a river of silverware for...

This is why the chronic injuries to JWS have killed us. Add him into the midfield, and suddenly, we've got options - Wells, Ziebell, and JWS is a damn good midfield trio. Add McIntosh feeding the ball, and it's bloody magnificent. All sides can shut down one gun midfielder, and most can cover...

Oh, hell no. It was just about Liverpool fans. In the 80s, they had the attitude that if they didn't win silverware, it just meant that it was on loan to someone else. They also used to say that their season started with the Charity Shield and finished with the European Cup final. Okay, it...

If the biggest disappointment we have to face at the end of the season is finishing with only the Premier League trophy, then we're doing fine. The way the scousers have whinged and whined after we won the title, those bastards have no idea of what disappointment is. Disappointment is what...

That's the thing, it's hindsight. What if we got a goal after our first ten minutes? We may have gone on to win and Fergie would have been hailed a genius. I think most of us understand that Fergie isn't a great tactician. To me, he's more of a gambler, willing to take a risk to get 3...

It's funny and sad at the same time. Over the years, the Liverpool fans have bagged the Everton ones for being bitter, laughed at their lack of success, telling them to know their place, and abused them for laughing at Liverpool's failures. But of course, it's a different rule when they want...

It's probably a small consolation, but I think we would have lost if we played Chelsea. Simply, Barca were hungrier than we were, and Chelsea would have been the same. In the end, I'd rather lose to Barca. When clubs get to this level, it just comes down to desire. We won it last season...

Three seasons of **** all, and the only thing they can celebrate is United finishing runner up against Europe's best club side. I'm happy with the EPL. And it's the only thing I want next season too. As always, anything else is just a bonus. But it was a weird season. I didn't think we...

Congratulations to Barcelona on completing their own Treble. They were just too damn good for us, and proved they were the best club side in Europe this season. Enjoy the celebrations Barca fans, especially Kompany and Bourky23.

Heads up lads. The way Barca played tonight, nobody would have beaten them. Congratulations to Barca, we'll be back again next season.

Congratulations. You were just far too good for us, and over the past season, Barcelona have been the best team in Europe. Your club deserved its victory. Enjoy the celebrations, especially Kompany and Bourky23, who are not just loyal Barca fans, but sensational football fans.

With Carrick and Fletcher, I didn't think we missed Hargreaves. The more pressing issue is that according to an article in the Guardian, Tevez said in an interview with an Argentinian television station that he'll be leaving United. So we're going to have to find a replacement for him. I...

One less excuse for Liverpool. http://www.transferleague.co.uk/

Yeah, it was first relief, then joy. Before this weekend, I think Liverpool went five weeks in a row where they played before us to take top spot, thus putting the pressure on us to win. In terms of fixturing, it was a tough season. We had a backlog of games due to the European Super Cup...

I've probably missed out on a player or two, but here's my quick take on the best United side from the 98/99, 99/00, and 00/01 teams against the 06/07, 07/08, and 08/09 teams. First hat-trick team: Schmeichel, G.Neville, Stam, Johnsen, Irwin, Giggs, Keane, Scholes, Beckham, Van Nistelrooy...

I'd go along with that. In terms of the football we've played, it wouldn't be in the top 5 of the titles that Fergie's won. But in another way, we didn't have Ronaldo for the first six weeks, we lost Rooney to injury, there was the issue of trying to fit Berbatov into our system, we lost our...

Ironically, if United do end up winning the Champions League, the way Liverpool have chased us would have had a lot to do with it. Up until that game at Old Trafford, United's players had started to cruise. But that loss, and the one against Fulham, forced United's players to start...

I'm very relieved with that. That was two tricky games out of the way. Harry Redknapp led sides have tripped us up in the past, and the Riverside has been a tricky venue for us in recent seasons. Just 7 more points needed from 4 games.

He shoots! He scores!

If your grasp of English grammar and spelling is that bad, I sure wouldn't want you handling any contracts on my behalf. I would think that dealing with the finer print in a legal contract is an essential skill for a sports manager.

After round 20 last year, we had six wins on the trot and a top 4 spot in our grasp. We looked like a bloody good side that was going somewhere. Since then, it's been 9 games for 7 losses. I just wonder if the trade period fiasco resulted in the players losing a little bit of faith in him...

I found this bit intriguing. Surely if Laidley had a strong relationship with the players, Brayshaw wouldn't mention it as one of the issues that will decide his fate.

What? Liverpool were hardly like Derby County or Nottingham Forest. But Liverpool always had one of the larger transfer budgets in English football. By the late 1980s, Dalglish had started to flex Liverpool's financial muscle in the transfer market starting including the battle against United...
