Splutters out cheap prosecco in laughter. Surely a late contender for Jewels' quote of the year.

Okay, I'm just going to say this but I am totally loving Jose at United...(yeah, I know - anti-jinx and all that). I've always been a fan and I think his total siege mentality is made for us.

And Ibra...the second best thing ever from Sweden.... I'll leave you to argue amongst yourselves as to what the best is/was....
Saunas ?

He would have been up there Sleeps but he didn't dare challenge himself in the big time at his peak. He was a big fish in a small pond. Great but still, so many 'what ifs...'

Don't worry, he wins brownie points for joining United for even a brief spell if only because it p***sed of my Leeds United supporting brother. Not all bad.

You might just want to hold onto your ticket for that last bus Sleeps. Henry is, in my eyes, at least, principally remembered for his time with Arsenal. That is where he spent the best and defining years of his career. The fact that he was a class player and showed that in Spain, is for my purposes irrelevant (don't ask what my purposes are - I can barely type my name right now...)

Likewise, Larsson spent his best years at your place when he could have been at bigger clubs. On a serious note, I don't hold that against him, he was happy - playing great football and winning trophies galore. He has no regrets I am sure. I just wish he'd been in a more competitive league in his pomp - but that's just me...Still a great player and like I said, his playing at United made my brother squirm so it's all good as they say. And it proved as Ibra's time is showing (back on topic mods) that class is permanent.

Last orders for guessing Sweden's best export soon....

Shotgun Messiah, or Face Down.

I think that ABBA might have been slightly more successful but, you know...

And the Jewels' prize of not much at all goes to Jim De Ville. Kinda ..sorta,.... Abba of course. Let's be hoping that United will be the Winner That Takes it All...God, how drunk am I right now?....

I could never understand the popularity of ABBA, they had a few good songs, but they are not the best band that some people claim that they are.

You might be right Sleeps. Now I must be gone - before I turn into a pumpkin or summat.

Happy New Year to all on the thread - especially MP.

Okay fine, they had more than a few good sings, still doesn't make them up there with my favourite bands though!

Your attitude to drink reminds me of Father Jack from Father Ted!

If I don't see or here from you in the morning, Happy New Year to you, and may it be a cracking one for you, and may it bring you lots of good fortune!

Abba and Zlatan

Everyone knows that Roxette are the greatest musicians to come from Sweden and Tommy Salo the greatest sportsman.......

As for United today, I'd be happy with a weaker team today as it's going to be the easier of the two games in the next 3 days. At home and confidence high, we should no matter what team we play beat Boro, but heck they've been known to spoil the party a few times before, thinking back only to last year among the few.

After reading the last two pages, I doubt you're still awake Jewels but Happy New year in advance to you to The rest of you can wait till 2mmrw for seasons greetings.

As for the best things to come out Sweden, I'm shocked no-one mentioned Volvo?!! Wonderfully boxy cars. I reckon the first head designer for Volvo saw a suitcase on wheels and thought "hmmmmm there's an idea...."

As for today, if Carrick isn't playing then Schweiny is a more natural fit for him than Fellani will ever be. Still can't believe that Bastian is still here TBH but it just shows how Jose's man-management is still on point.

We're only a day away from the transfer window opening, and the excitement is ramping up:

Sam Johnstone is 'close' to joining Aston Villa, on loan.
