It all depends on who is online and who is willing and wanting to post at the time, sometimes this thread is busy, other times it is not as busy, so the timings do depend on the amount of people online to a certain extent.

And as usual you are missing the point.

Why can you just not say, "Ah yeah my bad, got a bit carried away - won't do it again", and we can move on?!

It's the fact that you are so stubborn you just refuse to admit that double or triple posting, in the manner that you did there (three posts in six minutes!) is not appropriate forum etiquette. Why don't you just accept that people don't like you doing it (and trust me, I've stood up for you many times here, so if you're pissing ME off, then you know you've taken it too far) and change your behaviour accordingly?

Fair enough then, I don't quite think those three posts were quite that bad, I think that perhaps I have written worse posts in my time here on DS.

So we have got time to make sure that the long trip to the Ukraine is a dead rubber one, so that we can rest players for the more important Spurs game.

That's not bad. At least we're at home between the away trips to Liverpool and Chelsea.

Worth noting that the games in the Europa will likely be 6pm kick offs.

What time will the away leg be in Ukraine (UK time)?

Its only 5 hours. Time difference is 2 hrs ahead.

Three in the morning, judging by what some people are saying about the flights.

Ahh right, many thanks for the help with that.

Mourinho on Schweinsteiger earlier:

"I thought after some quotes from Bayern they would run to Manchester to bring him back. I am surprised Rummenigge is not here now."

Yeah I saw that earlier on, he loves a good bit of fun and games does our José!

I like him even more!!

Bravo.....

Though it will fall on deaf ears as its clear this is his own personal blog. Im just surprised his merry band of supporters havent got you banned already.

This is no more my personal blog then it is yours or anyone else's, this is a public forum, where anyone who wishes to post can post (and I encourage as many people as possible to do so).

you can shout that same stuff over and over but doesnt make it true. I mean i am constantly having to tell the sexy ladies i dont have a 12"penis, its only 10" but you know, word gets around and the truth will out

In this case it is true, it most certainly is not my own personal blog, nor would I ever, ever want it to turn into such a thing, or even remotely look like such a thing.
I would hate for that to be the case, that is the direct opposite of what this forum should be about.

It should be about as many people as possible, openly discussing football matters, and the club, that is why I originally joined all those years ago, (I don't know anyone else's reason(s) for joining) and those I think are good things to try and keep going here.

It would be simply awful if it were to not be the case.

So in the past I've spoken out about United's lack of involvement in Football v Homophobia, and how they've failed to even acknowledge Manchester Pride. This week they posted a message on social media which has been reported to have suffered from quite a bit of homophobic abuse.

So let me acknowledge this advancement by the club.

Add to this they obviously have felt the need to get rid of some old stock items as well. As they've contributed to a goodie bag to be handed out at the parade today, obviously the Fred the Red masks weren't a big seller, so they are giving them away for some reason.

I saw the message we posted on Facebook and alot of the resulting comments. It must be said that they did seem to be coming from the "global" fanbase - from areas I assume are much less progressed on this issue than the UK is. There were quite a few locals taking those homophobic commenters to task.

I would assume that, and it was good to see some positive responses.

Can't believe it though, just got back from the parade, and we were parked in front of a huge open air double decker bus, who were taking the Canalside Blues through the parade. Till we put our music on, I think I suffered Blue Moon at least 4 times and the old City anthem they used to play as well, the only decent tune they had on was "Glad All Over", not sure why they decided to use a Palace song......

It would be nice to see both clubs combine as one entry or both clubs take part in the parade. As for those masks we ended up with about 20 of the goody bags with the masks in, I could have take a few of the spare ones, but not with that mask in.

De Gea,
Valencia, Bailly, Blind, Shaw,
Fellaini, Pogba,
Mata, Rooney, Martial,
Ibrahimovic

Subs Romero, Smalling, Herrera, Mkhitaryan, Schneiderlin, Young, Rashford

Mourinho isn't one for changing a winning team then! I'm not complaining.

I would quite like to see Miki get a start sooner rather than later really.

Still got to win this game to stay level on points with Chelsea.

I get he doesn't want to change a winning team but Mkhitaryan is the kind of player who will ensure our winning ways continue, it's getting pathetic that he isn't playing him.

Fellaini continuing to prove why he shouldn't be in the squad.

Fellaini's a liability, that's 2 chances for them all down to him

With any luck Mou will realise this and take him off soon.
