  1. Want to see it in better clarity, but it looks gorgeous.
  2. I refute the notion Shevchenko flopped. Okay, he didn't score the goals anyone expected him to, but his work-rate was absolutely incredible, and I think he still scored 22 goals in something like 77 matches for us, which is a goal every 2.75 matches. Not actually that bad at all considering 21 of those appearances were off the bench. That translates to 22 in 51 starts.
  3. Obvious troll is obvious. Very disappointing so many people were baited.
  4. Absolutely brilliant and has the potential to be world-class. People only fail to acknowledge that because they are threatened by him, and thus want him to move to Spain. He's a fantastic player. I wouldn't mind having a "one-dimensional" player who can dribble the ball upfield, beat four men and thrash the ball into the top corner from 25 yards.
  5. Never in a million years. That moment eclipses everything else in the 108-year-history of our club.
  6. Yep. Absolute minimum is to challenge. Would like to win one of the cups, at least, though!
  7. Are we as successful as we should be? In truth - no. The amount we spent last season, should we have just won the Europa League and finished third? Absolutely not - last season was a disappointment (in that sense) - but we do have to realise we are in transition. We are progressing from one great squad to the next and that takes time and patience. The long-term reward will be another short period of dominance - another 2-4 year-spell of winning titles, cups and European honours will surely come. We just have to be patient in the meantime, before that comes about again. But as one of the above posters said, the best is yet to come. The important thing with this club, however, is whilst Fergie had a couple of trophyless seasons in 2004/05 and 2005/06 (okay, I'm excluding the Carling Cup, but I wouldn't class it as a major honour) whilst he rebuilt his United side, we've won three major - nay, massive - trophies during our transition period thus far. No-one can deny that the 90s was possibly the most exciting period of our history - great football, and the promise of even better things to come... I think as many of us were so young during that time, and we were living the first period of our current hegemony, the 90s has a romantic meaning attached to it. But would I swap Munich, Amsterdam, or the Reebok on April the 30th, 2005 for any of our "romantic" past glories? Absolutely not!
  8. "Lids"? "LIDS"? Anyone who voted for Spike, delete your votes! He's calling us lids!
  9. I'll PM Jason and Nour and ask either of them to stick the poll up as I'm too busy
  10. Would rather put a nail through my own tongue than see this classless mercenary wear the blue of my team.
  11. Jype is a really good shout actually. Another one for me: Ankit.
  12. We already have a topic for press conferences! Merged!
  13. Can't we just give them Torres? Two birds...
  14. Hola! Bienvenido al foro. Me llamo Thor. Yo prohibiría personas. También soy la mejor persona en el mundo a través de Google Translate. Disfrute de su estancia aquí!
  15. YES WE DO, READ THE FORUM LIST GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
  16. I'm sure we already have a topic for Robben, unless it has been archived.
  17. He's an absolute animal, he's the guy we should have signed instead of Torres.
  18. Rule 1: don't encourage me by saying the word "ban". I'm like fucking Thor with my Banhammer
  19. Rooney was shit, England were underwhelming (Lampard and Cole included), Brazil are average at best and both teams are so incredibly behind Holland, Spain, Germany and Italy it's embarrassing. In fact I'd say Uruguay and Argentina are well ahead of Brazil, the only thing going for them is it is a home World Cup - either way, they'll go out early. As for England... I wouldn't fancy us against fucking Swaziland at the minute, utter tripe. On a more positive note, my little Ossie was the best player on the pitch <3
  20. I think I "like" more posts than anyone else to be fair! Just a shame I can't "like" my own Anyways, BOT!
