@Cedars, I am great buddy as usual. Hope you are getting better all the time now that you are only on meds.

Regarding the Liverpool thing, I have a cousin brother who is a Liverpool fan and lived in Newcastle when he was studying in the U.K. I never knew United hate until I started speaking to him about football. The hate he has for us is probably more than the love he has for Liverpool.

Remember the 2009 season, after they beat us 4-1 and we still won the title, I called him and said,

Me: We are the Champions (Singing the song)

Him: We beat you 4-1 at Old Trafford.

Me: But we're the Champions, what would you rather have - one measly victory over us or the Championship?

Him: Doesn't change the fact that you still got drubbed by us 4-1 at your home.

Me: $*!&@^$!&$!*$&$*^!$.

I was literally too confused that I did not know how to respond to him saying that and mind you he is years older than me, but is still blinded by the hate he has for United to look at the situation clearly. Sigh!

@Balaji

I'm like that too. I want a new midfielder, but I don't think we're doomed without one. I trust Fergie to do what's needed.

@sachu

I think it's true. We have by far the strongest squad, but United and the rest of the top teams aren't as strong as a few years ago. Also, the rest of the league has gotten better.

Cedars - I take the 5th on that. :)

@FITB, But, but, mommy said United should crack the Barcelona protocol, otherwise there is no purpose to our existence?

In all seriousness, I think our squad is definitely capably of winning the 20th without any additions. I personally wouldn't mind another mid-fielder at all, but as I said in previous post, I honestly am an Optimist and people who read the Annie Eaves Transfer Creature article will understand what I'm saying.

You'll never find me saying anything other than "The boss knows what he's doing." during the crazy season.

Balaji Sivaraman - This is hilarious. My same Liverpool friend still sought to slag me about that 4-1 defeat even after we had won the league. Granted at the time I thought my world had ended but once we win the league I really couldn't give a fuck who beats us along the way. It's all about the destination it doen't matter how you get there. I tried telling him that I'm more bothered about the times we lost to Liverpool in OT in the 03/04 or 01/02 seasons when that twat Danny Murphy scored the winners cause we didn't win the league them years. He just didn't seem to accept what I saying. I'd have been better off trying to tell it to my dog. Liverpool fans, sure what can you do, just have to put up with them I guess. I hear they're definately going to win the league this year.

Liverpool fans have a very special type of brainwashing that goes beyond that of the normal fan. They know their club has been shite for years but are desperate to convince everyone they are still relevant and a 'top 4' club rather than 6th place material like Villa, Everton etc.

You can't really blame them, it must really suck to know they're the SECOND most successful club in the country but can't even get into the Europa League let alone win the Premiership, and they've spent the last 20 years watching their rivals eclipse all their achievements.

When you're that bad you have to take the little victories. Just like the bitters think they're big time because they won an ABU Cup, dippers have no choice but to celebrate the occasional victory over United and Carragher's attempts to injure players. Sad innit?

We will sign a top midfielder, and probably 1 more player. Also, we will sign de Gea.

Which midfielder? Probably Wesley Sneijder.

If we don't, I'll be surprised, and wrong, and still love United 100% in every way.
However, I'm not wrong.

Smartalex - You know the lad tatty, who posts in the forum? He seems pretty well versed in the comings and goings. The lads in there vouch for his word. I think you're right and we will sign a CM. Like you, I go by the bosses word. He's the boss after all...

WHAT ??? June 26, 2011

top post Goat.

For example... some people reckon we should sell Ando and buy Santos, but in my opinion that boy Anderson is the most exciting midfielder in the League right now, including Modric, Santos, whoever. If he continues next season like he ended the last one (5 top games on the trot / couple goals) then we'll have the "new" midfielder everyones crying about. He's been trying to displace Scholes since he arrived, but he's only 22/23 FFS, its been hard enough getting into the biggest Club in the World. Now I think its his time, he's gonna have a blinder next season and I don't think theres a player we could buy for the middle i'd be more excited about. A new midfielder would be nice, but our current midfield is more than good enough, people forget we didn't have Ando or Fletcher for most of the season, and now we have Young as an option in the middle.

Likewise, i'd glad we signed Young, with his 20 goal contribution per season for the last 4 seasons (score/assist) , instead of some over-ratedTwat with a step over, a hard on for Spain, and the audacity to want a bidding war after one decent season. Young all day mate, ask me he's a better player than Sanchez. We'll all see what kind of season everybody has anyway. Top post tho mate thats how a lot of us feel about silly Season in general.

Santos? Lol. Sandro bollox, ya mean!

willierednut - Tatty's thoughts are well considered by the moderators etc.
More importantly, it is logical that when you lose GNev, Scholes, Hargreaves, Van der Sar, and possibly Brown, Gibson and/or O'Shea; that replacements are required. It seems very unlikely that no experienced players (apart from Young) are to join the squad.

Although, to quote my friend willierednut (have you heard of him?)
"Like you, I go by the bosses word. He’s the boss after all…"

I've always thought Berba could be a solid mid, but maybe that's just a fantasy. He sees everything on the field and has the most deft touch of anyone on the squad. He has the size to dominate physically but would probably need to be paired with another there on the inside who holds a little more verocity (a Scholes-esque) element. Most importantly, he is very unselfish and a brilliant footballing mind who would love to do whatever SAF needs to win a game. Thoughts?

Also, Hamsik from Napoli. He is one of the three players that made Napoli a contender for this Serie A season, along with Cavani and Levezzi. Comparable to Scholes, just watch some film on him. Just another alternative I've imagined.

Hard lines Zibbie. Thanks for being sportsmanlike about it.
You were alone, because there's no us in US. We're all with Mexico.

Mexico played the hole turny awesome. The wings flying beating people 1 on 1 fired shot in as well as crosses. The US was not as deep with one hurt player at fb Mexico scored 4 straight. FB is a weak point CM a strong point. Well no excuses they won. Shit,fuck, bastards, son of the bitches. boo fucking who.

Cherundolo bailed us out all tourney, when he went out I thought we'd still be able to hold but when I saw dumbass Bradley bring in that POS Bornstein and switch Lichaj to the other side I knew we were fucked. Bornstein should never see the inside of a soccer stadium ever again without buying a ticket. That said, again in a big game when we needed his best (hello Ghana) Tim Howard had an off night. Mexico played well but it wasn't nearly as lopsided as the score. I'm happy for Chicharito but sad for the US team, the only good results out of this tourney would have been a win or a flaming stinker that would have got Bradley canned, IMO.
