  7. Cantona got me here says:

    I know the IPO could bomb…but how can it already be a failure?

    If it gets mauled today, I am going to buy a few shares for my kids and sock them away.

  8. Cantona got me here says:

    Robbo – i think ‘re-tweet’ but I do not do the Twitter thing

  9. Fred says:

    Robbo – It means he “re-tweeted” a message from Wayne Rooney. The message was:

    “@usainbolt well done. Incredible race. Jamaica must be proud. Top 3”

    to which Bolt replied “thanks man”

    His second “RT” was from Rio Ferdinand, who wrote:

    “Jamaica 1 2 3….wow!! Jamaica must be jumping right now! @usainbolt The Best to ever do it.”

    to which Bolt replied “thanks man”

    I dint know what is it about this season, but in a way I like the fact how we are being dismissed by a lot of people.
    Apparently City are indeed the next Barcelona, despite not having Cover for key positions, How Chelsea millions mean they are going to complete the treble and blow us out of the water, how the Arsenal project is finally complete despite my 10 year old sister being a better defender than most there.
    To hear that ‘Aguerooo’ by Tyler hurts and tbh i dont have the balls to listen to it ever again. But irrespective of whatever has happened, I know for one thing those people in the dressing room will be hurting much more than anyone. And i know that they are all great winners.
    So it doesnt matter who we sign, we do have a good team. All we need is a bit of luck and that anger which is a characteristic of all great Utd teams. So let the world say what ever they want because its the same world which said ‘You cant win anything with Kids’,boy how we proved them wrong.
    Roll on the next season and No 20.

    Keep Calm. Keep United

    How is the IPO a failure when it values the club well over 2 billion pounds and it just made hundreds of millions of pounds in matter of minutes?

  13. 911_DEVIL says:

    David gill:
    We will spend proceed in talents but will never be so arrogant as to guarantee trophies.

  14. Dela says:

    The IPO values the club around $2.3 billion, so around what Forbes values it, not exactly sure how its a failure but OK. The Glazers were always aiming too high with it.

  15. Charles says:

    Somehow we need robin van.he will b a great addition to d team,rooney and robin van up front we be a great combination.

  16. Imanidgw says:

  17. gfunk says:
