Me too, re. Fellaini. And I never thought I'd be saying that a few months back! God I hope Martial isn't out.
I'm sort of feeling the same way about tonight's game as I did the cup game a few weeks back there. It's not been our favourite stomping ground over the years, but we've had a fair few good results there, let's make it one more. It would once again stick it to the journalists who are making such a big deal about them leaving the Boleyn, I don't recall this for Arsenal or City when they left there former grounds. |

Stepping back 25 posts, the crazy thing is, with only two matches to go, we could still finish up anywhere between 3rd. and 8th!
![]() West Ham will be tricky - they need to win to get into the Europa League... plus their final game ever at Upton Park, should be an interesting match and I have no idea how it will end up, I just want us to win. But until we do, all this media talk about us finishing 4th is a tad premature, methinks. As for "in our own hands" talk, well that's just stupid because it's equally in the hands of West Ham, Bournemouth and whoever City have to play. Not to mention the officials... |

As usual Bayern do not mess around, unlike us who dilly and dasher, and miss out on targets.
Typical. |

Last year we signed Memphis in May for ****s sake and had all but one signing done by the time we went on tour in early July (the one being a player who'd only become available in August). And what the **** does 'dilly and dasher' mean?
We must not have been that serious about him then. |

Fair enough, it should have said "dilly dather" that is spell check for you!
We must not have been that serious about him then. Reckon we were serious but the player/club got a better offer. It happens. I'm just sick of the constant overreactions when it comes to United. One player doesn't join us and everyone loses their shit and forgets everything that has happened before in an effort to whine. |

Think you mean 'dilly dally', assuming that you are a time-traveller from the 1920's and still use that phrase.

Although quite how they are going to fit him in amongst all of their unbelievably high quality midfielders will be interesting to see. |

Not sure how you can get upset with the club "dilly dathing" over an 18 year old kid costing £30m+ that you've never seen play and probably know nothing about. Not paying such silly money might be the club being smart, rather than stupid. |

It happens with us. Whenever we don't get a player people go apeshit over a player they never heard of or seen play. We get linked to a player from abroad and suddenly fans become experts of this player and he becomes the next best thing, then when we don't sign them Ian Ayre is the worst person in the world for not signing them. The main one was Mkhitaryan, when we got linked with him everyone suddenly wanted him based on some YouTube videos, then went crazy when he chose to go to Dortmund.

I wonder if sanches signing for bayern means we may be keeping van gaal.
I think I read that he wasn't a big fan of the managers style of play. |

The flip side is that The Mail are claiming/speculating that we could be in for Matic, which may hint at Mourinho.
In summary: Who bloody knows? It changes every day! |

If you got Mourinho wonder how long it'd take until you were linked with Steven Gerrard? Mourinho likes him, and has tried to sign him before, I'm sure someone, somewhere, will create a link.

Didn't Fergie try to sign him when he was a kid, or was it Carragher?
I'm sure it was one of them. We were also linked with Ferguson once, either before or after Roy Hodgson. The Star and the Express like their crazy rumours. Quote:
Reckon a 'shock' link to John Terry will happen at some point.
Although the fact that he's not your manager now hasn't stopped rumours, of course. |

The Vince that I mentioned, is Vince Mcmahon.
Is this another one of your 'wrestling' references? |

I believe Fergie did try to sign Gerrard once. People recited that fact when Ferguson's book came out saying Gerrard wasn't a "top, top player".

I'm sure that story's already been written, someone's just waiting for Mourinho to officially become your manager before they hit submit. Although the fact that he's not your manager now hasn't stopped rumours, of course. |
