"In other news, Man U has a massive wage black hole accounting for at least another player..."

To quote one post in here: "Salah and Schurrle played shit" is not constructive.

Like Man U's famous starting XII?

Why all of the Salah hate? I thought he gave his all for sure, the ball was greasy, the pitch was slippery (Hah, his left hand kick was quite funny) but he tried his best and the rest of the midfield weren't exactly outshining him all night either. He needs more confidence on the ball, but he is most definitely worthy of our subs' bench, at the very least. Don't forget he has the whole season to improve. However, I don't understand why Baker wasn't played last night If we're not careful he'll drop his Chelsea dream and fuck off somewhere that will give him more game time. Ake and Zouma were excellent, though. Who was that new lad, Christensen? He looked great last night, definitely rising star material. Mikel...Let's not go there MOTM, however, it must be Drogba. Striking and tackling like it's 04/05 all over again! Although, if Matic had been on for longer, would have definitely picked him as MOTM - the team instantly got much, much better when he came on.

He had some bloody lovely shots too!

My thoughts exactly - it was an open goal for Oscar!

Proves Matic is integral to the team for me! We instantly solidified when he came on - or maybe it was just the Mikel effect leaving the pitch?

It's for their own good Technically the upper level could be standing too - but it would put the FA on a witch hunt to stop it..the crush barriers would have to be idiot proofed. Away fans should still be moved to West Stand - otherwise the standing arrangement would benefit them more than us. Also, the gangways and exits would have to be rejigged to handle a 140% volume capacity - Maybe a few more bar staff too in the medium term it would still be about 10-20, maybe even 30k short of what we really need - On top of travel costs etc a single game can run to £100+ as I live out of London, unless you can split it between mates it's turned into a 1 game a year thing for me. That's if I can even get tickets - Even Bolton sold out in a matter of days. Stamford Bridge at its current size is not an option for a club.. As much as I don't want to leave, I think unless we somehow get TfL to agree to tunnel the district line, demolish the village and buy out the houses and demolish them too, as well as then constructing new stands... it may be cheaper to move. Although the potential of the site is great, it depends how much Roman wants to open his pockets. I might make some concepts actually if anyone wants them..

OhForaGreavsie the Govt has said they are not against safe standing, they have basically said it's up to the PL to lobby for it - From what I've seen the only opponent is Liverpool.. Standing terraces would give us a 40pc or so capacity boost - Move the away fans out of the shed, make MH and Shed standing, that way everybody (except maybe the awayers) wins and we get a boost to 48-50k on PL nights with nearly no expense. We'd still be extremely limited on CL nights, however, Uefa does not like the idea of it I believe. PS - First post! Hope it was reasonably resourceful
