  1. That is true. We won't turn into f****in Liverpool but it slows our transition period down. In the case of Falcao, Modric etc, I don't think ALL of the big players will come tempted by money. A few might view the PL as a step-up while others might be aiming for first-team football but I don't think ALL the big-name players can be tempted by money if we don't qualify for CL, we will be in the Thursday night freakshow again and that is worse because Thursday-Sunday is a lesser gap than Tuesday-Saturday or Wednesday-Sunday. Plus, EL is a bunch of meaningless games compared to CL. In the view of our players; Out in CL groups this year. No CL next year and some star players will be thinking of moving if we don't win anything next year as well - *cough**Eden Hazard**cough* I get your wider point. We won't slip down to midtable or anything but Fergie will be around 2-3 years and he'll be looking to keep winning league titles till then btw; ignore the conspiracy theory. I was clearly on something
  2. Tbf Oscar's first touch was very frustrating.
  3. This weekend makes up for last Sunday
  4. Giggs misses. Damn it! That would've eased a lot of nerves
  5. Cech was bored lol. No shot on target in the first half
  6. Lampard showed our players that willingness is as important as talent. Great performance from him
  7. Goal Number 201. One step closer to Bobby Tambling's record.
  8. I will reply after the games. Wait for it
  9. Not really. We will be in the Europa League and we cannot compete for the top players i.e Lewandowski etc. Our priorities will change to the likes of Willian
  10. Ferguson has obviously told his team to play at half-pace. He's smart. He knows Chelsea are a bigger threat to the title than both Arsenal and Spurs (combined). He doesn't care about a potential points record if he can keep United at the top for the near future. United will lose this.
  11. Luiz - Lampard that's a better pivot
  12. Already hoofing it long. Play it on the floor lads. Involve the amigos
  13. Worried we could be exposed for pace with JT and Cahill at the back
  14. His game at Liverpool reminds me of his time on loan at Bolton. Seems he plays great for mid-table teams. Also, it was batshit nonsense from Pardew to play the high-line vs Coutinho and Sturridge. all those factors helped Liverpool but yeah, I regret he wasn't given a proper chance here and hope that's not the case with Lukaku, KDB, Chalobah etc
  15. Lukaku's performance makes up for Sturridge's in Liverpool's win.
  16. As you said, he takes a lot of shots and if one of them went in, then we wouldn't be having this discussion. It is a strange one because he seems up for the big games i.e he doesn't go anonymous. He did run clear of the defence for the one-on-one's. It's in the final third where he's had a problem. Against Inter, Robben had a good game. He was consistently beating Chivu on the rigth wing but he failed to deliver in the final third. He had few chances as well. Not as clear cut as WC final but chances nonetheless and he failed to convert. Against Chelsea, with the defence so deep, it was worth it to take a punt from outside the box if there's no passing option. Robben did that 2-3 times but failed. i don't think he's a choker in terms of game-performance but he is a choker with his finishing.
  17. Hull face Championship winners Cardiff on the final day while Zola's Watford are playing Leeds. 1 point separates them. Come on Watford!
  18. Hull Lose! Come on Watford! Automatic Promotion!
