Also if Daniel Taylor of the Guardian is to be believed, a deal was in place for Thiago Alcantara, his father had agreed to it, Utd had scouted him for 2 years, but Moyes hadn't seem him play and wasn't interested :negative:

That's been the story since last summer. The deal was in place, everything was set and then Moyes had "doubts" about Thiago and killed the deal.

One thing I'm happy about is that after this season I think the draw for the great managers will be lessened

If they had tried to get Conte, Klopp, Guardiola, Mourinho, Mazzarri they'd be so much better but they went with David Moyes lol

Well no, the popular narrative used to be that he was always going to BM and stupid little United never had a chance.

Also the one time when Cleverley looked like a football player was when he was at Wigan under Martinez. I wouldn't be surprised if Martinez signs him for Everton and he turns out decent.

I didn't realise that they had to use police and stewards to protect "The Chosen One" banner from vandalism numerous times across the season. Brilliant.

He'd do a job there for sure, especially with Barry probably not sticking around for another year.

Yeah, he's turned the best team in the world last year into Barca 2.0 with 2 yard passes and triangles and it may win a lot of games but it's boring as gently caress.

Also I hope Giggs starts himself in every game and they lose them all 7-0 lol what a oval office

I hope Ryan Giggs scores a goal before the end of the season because when I was a kid I thought he was cool and good and some of that has stuck with me even if he did sex up his sister-in-law for years without anyone knowing.

I dont know what match you were watching but the only time they were forceful and attacking was right after United scored and oh look they ripped us a new arsehole. For the entire 120 minutes before that it was exactly the same *pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass aimless cross that goes no-where pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass*

Yuck breaking down the opponent with tiresome passing and then ripping them apart in the end is no way to win. Hoof and hope or get in the bin.

But this is completely the opposite of what they were doing. They were getting no-where. Its only when they stopped making 2 yard passes, and instead played the ball forwards, burst down the wing and put a proper driven cross in that they got anywhere.

The amount of times they got in behind the united full backs only to stop and tap it back out to the half way line would infuriate me if it was my team.

There are other ways of playing that don't end up with 800 passes and 2 shots on target, which is the 'Pep Way'.

loving Mourinho plays more attractive football grinding out 1-0 wins against Stoke.

They're a US company so major announcements have to come during NYSE opening hours or something.

Pretty sure the rule is just that they have to announce major news immediately and inform the NYSE as soon as possible. If it's after trading hours, they just have to notify them soon after opening, which doesn't really matter since the markets will have already responded anyway.
