I don't think the argument is whether Utd can attract our best players - of course they can and has always been the case. The point is if they want him in Jan transfer window it is not a given that he will go, whether he wants to or not.

The point was if a player wants to go nothing you can do about it. Pretty much every journo was saying he would but Liverpool proved didn't have to cave in. This was before his new contract btw.

And you don't appear to be reading my posts. Just creating the extreme opposing viewpoint in your own mind and responding to it when no one has said it.

Suarez wanted to go - Liverpool fended it off. Not saying can long term but there is no way saints have to agree to this happening in January

As opposed to those that see a daily star story and always give it so much credence and resign themselves to it happening. Do you count this reply as stalking btw?

I wasn't saying that - Utd have huge pulling power still however if they want a player within next 30 days that puts cards in our hand. They have good fans as well. Loads of hangers on who don't go to games but still brilliant support that is unrivalled

Can fend them off in January. Why have a Utd had such poor transfer success of late if they can just pick off players? They made that mistake with their Baines bid.

From Luke Shaw on Sunday : Could of played today they just didn't want to risk it, as we have a busy Christmas schedule coming up! I will be fit for the game Thursday! Not sure why people concluding Fox will play

Ramirez is up to this level just not for us. Would like to have seen more of mayuka to make a judgement but clearly not fancied. Every club has bad spends though - look at Spurs. Also have resale value which is key

some are constantly accusing others of being sensitive little flowers yet know full well when antagonising and seem quite sensitive themselves of late. My ban comment was tongue in cheek btw - posts never upset me and tbh so much ******** (and some sense) talked on here anyway. Lots of sparring but as said before many grudges held as well so seem people weigh in not necessarily objectively but die to crossing swords before.

Should be banned for having such a sh1t pun in his name. Didn't know him but on the basis of this thread then fair enough. I know bit Stalinist but this tedious stuff becomes so repetitive and boring. Ban more I say and shoud be a category in the voting. 'Poster who you want banned'

Not your actual opinions regarding league cup, realistic expectations etc which I don't necessarily oppose but the way you want to put down others. Snide and not positive in so much as nearly all your posts I have seen sarcastically mock opposing views And deluded as you think you are being stalked. Let's have a beer sometime

I am actually smiling at your sense of delusion. True you are one of the posters I remember but only because I await you to say something positive and not snide. Maybe in the new year eh?

Isn't all about the points though and as depressing as form guide is we arguably could have had much better return? Such things are luck though and NC is sure to see this. Two weeks ago we often dominated probably the best team in the league with some injuries. That is not grounds for pessimism but fixture list has been very skewed this season giving us a bit of a false position. Stupidly I think we'll get a point at Everton.

It isn't as bad as everyone seems to think. One out of 5 best defenders played yesterday. Agree can't for life of me why Jos is getting picked. And Fox is no replacement but we aren't in as deep as people seem to think and don't think MP is too culpable. Not perfect either but that article suggest they might be over doing the sports science a bit too much and 'resting' players.

So? means we lose the next 4. How people forget CIty and Newcastle performances so quickly

Fck me turning on him after a defeat. Yes we had a ****e defence but cannot all be levelled at MP. Problems is fans can't handle defeats and think we are world beaters and need a scapegoat. If we dominate Cardiff and get a result will it mean he is a good manager again?

No football interviews are continuously interesting. Only so much you can say unless you like the oh so whacky Holloway. Having said that I always find Steve Bruce very honest.

He didn't have to play Jos though

Why do these people annoy you so much Fry? Put any crowd together and there will be people who have crazy views. They really seem to get to you though and don't know why.

People are here for different reasons I guess. Everyone changes their views on players/managers/opposition but some seem very pleased if their forecasts come true no doubt conveniently forgetting all those that didn't.

Still the fans will come in their lovely red replica shirts. We all like the riches and glamour of the PL but seriously worrying how many ****s it is attracting to invest. Always disliked Cardiff though so find it funny and rather they went down than a better run club. Feel more sorry for a Hull though which is similar situation. Still never know their May be another Steve Kean out there. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his own soul?

Ha just replied to you on another thread but clearly you have an agenda. Comical. Although good skills in interpreting so much from their facial expressions and knowing the cause. Were all the BBC reporters the same? Maybe they went on a training course where they had lavish refreshments that I as a licence payer am not happy about.

Would you prefer they adopted a stance similar to Fox News? The Beeb doesn't always get it right but makes me laugh when people rant about what they air when basically all they mean is why don't they reflect my opinions. Not always easy. Having no common decency is not sow thing I would accuse them of. Panorama is generally poor though and I no longer consider watching but is just one programme and if I want to hear news I can trust will always be the place I go. Interesting comparing Sky news and the BBC Twitter news feeds when there is a breaking tragedy. Sky often have higher numbers of fatalities which are frequently scaled down. BBC are always more accurate as sensationalism is not their main focus. It has many faults but still something we should cherish imo.

perceptive yes that is one of them. The other was plenty of pretentious love to brag about it over the provinces and those sorts are normally very dull as want to associate with something exciting, I didn't read the link in OP either I'm afraid. Apologies if contribution wasn't up to the high standard.
