Honestly, I don't know how it will turn out.
It might be an amazing piece of business or turn into something we regret.
But, I have wanted this to happen for years and haven't been this visibly excited about any transfer in a while.
Viva Ronaldo. Welcome back, Cristiano.

Stick him up front and just do his running for him. Best goalscorer of all time. Hopefully someone like Ndidi or Neves is too much to ask?

If we do add a proper holding midfielder on top of CR7, I might even dare to say that we have a fair shot at the league.
But. for now, I am keeping expectations low and just enjoying the return of a player I love.

I spit what I was drinking when I saw the Shappy word count pop up as soon as I opened the page.
Nice banter right there and thanks to Shappy for being sportive about it.
Hope everyone is well and can't wait to see the next game live with you folks! Take care.

constantine167, yet I didn't get the credit for laying down the foundations for "Shappy word count". I was expecting a long "Thank you" post from Shappy which never came 😊.

LPU, cheers bud😂.

Shappy, that was very short 😉. Cheers mate😊.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I ended up dozing off the night of the Sheffield United game a little after the team sheets came out.
I did wake up disappointed to see that we lost and my heart did sink a bit while watching the highlights.
Was it a bad performance? Absolutely, yes. Is it the end of the season for us? No, we still have a lot to play for.
After the 6-1 defeat to Spurs, most of us would have gleefully said yes to being 2nd in the league, 3 points ahead of Liverpool and 4 points from the top (of course, we might have negotiated a bit about the Champions’ League bit) . It might not be to the standard of our glory years but we can admit that it’s an improvement. In some way, we ARE moving forward.
As passionate fans, all of us will have areas where we feel the team can improve, where the coach can do things differently or that certain players should be doing better. And it’s human nature to voice out that frustration in some form and I suppose all of us do it, myself included, to let go of that frustration. Some do it differently than others.
Without rambling on, I think what I am trying to say is that we have just gone through a strange year which affected each one of us in different ways. We are here on this site purely out of love for one common element - Manchester United (also for Ed001’s player profiles and tactical analyses and pestering Ed002 to spill some tea on the latest transfer gossip) . All of us have different opinions and more often that not, we might not agree with each other. But, is it too much to ask for all of us to be a bit kinder and bit more emphatic to each other? Just be a bit more united amongst ourselves.
This has been a crazy season and could still get much crazy by the time it ends. Let’s enjoy the ride and remember it for the right reasons if we do end winning something.

Empathetic*
Not emphatic
*Face Palm*.
2.) 29 Jan 2021 22:40:42
I like emphatic. There's definitely not enough emphaticness on this site.

Anfield Falls!
Loving the meltdown these clearly biased pundits are going through. I am looking at you, Steve Macmanan.
Ironic that their record ended to a 83rd minute Burnley penalty right after Mr Klopp was busy scrutinising our penalty record in recent weeks.
Yet again, goes to show how crazy this season has been and will be. Anything can happen. Even, #21 *wink* *wink*.
1.) 22 Jan 2021 06:36:52
They are in despair but I could only see one poster asking for Kopp to go.
It continues to show how odd the season is. Chelsea were being lauded and have bombed, same with Liverpool.
I think we need to ignore other teams and concentrate on ourselves.
2.) 22 Jan 2021 08:19:37
It’s only halfway, we need to get a grip, get reality in sight and realise we need to actually do better in the second half, because even this season I can’t see 80 points being enough.
3.) 22 Jan 2021 08:54:37
The supposed crisis at anfield, they are only 6 points off top spot and a are more than capable of making that up in an inconsist league.
As Tony says, just concentrate on our next game, doesn't matter what others do.
The next set of prem fixtures however could play nicely into the Manchester Clubs hands but again let's just take 1 step at a time.
4.) 22 Jan 2021 10:02:07
What is happening at rival club's is for fans to revel in. The club and the players need to focus on the next game.
You win a league title by playing every game like a cup final. That's the game that matters nothing else.
As United fans we should be bantering the Liverpool fanbase, I'm sure they have bantered us enough over the past few years. And I'm sure many of them come on here and laugh at us every time we have a meltdown on the page because we have lost or even drawn in some cases.
That's all part of being a fan.
The players and the club however need to save their bantering until the end of the season. Nothing would hurt the Scousers more than having to hand our trophy back to us.
04 Jan 2021 22:57:35
Well done, Saints. Also, was moved by the emotion Hassenhüttl displayed at the end. His first win against Klopp, I believe.
Interesting titbit: Southampton become the first team to beat 7 Premier League winners while they are the reigning champions.
Is it too early to start dreaming?
Feel like we can really kick on. A shrewd signing or two in the January window for critical positions wouldn't go amiss although Ed002 did say we shouldn't expect much action.
Fingers crossed that we keep going. This has probably been the strangest season all of us have experienced and we got to just enjoy the rollercoaster ride.
I hope we go past the in-fighting rampant on our site. I know we messed up the UCL with some mistakes at vital points in the PSG, Leipzig and Istanbul games. But, we still have a lot to look forward to. During this bleak times, let us try to look at things optimistically at least with the team we all love. After all, we do want the best for it and I got to ask those who are complaining "Are you really not entertained by this team? "
1.) 04 Jan 2021 23:32:04
Defence wins titles
We need Pau Torres or a 1st team ready centre back.
Look at how Bailly has levelled up the defence. Pau Torres is left footed, fast, can play out and is positionally better than Maguire .
{Ed0666's Note - Steven Hawkins would have been positionally better than McGuire
2.) 05 Jan 2021 08:16:15
Interesting that both the Manchester clubs started late, struggled for a few months, but if they win their games in hand they will be first and second in the league and we are only half way through the season.

I think the last of those signings was Javier Hernandez in 2010. A player not many had heard about before the WC. Wasn't world-class but I thought he was an excellent signing and served his purpose as an impact sub.
I suppose only Bruno stands out as a bang for buck signing followed by Sergio Romero who was an excellent stand-in for De Gea.
29 Aug 2021 15:24:31
Mark Noble?

I am glad this is happening.
Crazy how long Marcus has been carrying that and playing for us. While we will miss him till, after the international break in September (approximating), it will also give the other lads to step up a bit and show Ole that they are solid rotation options.
31 May 2021 16:50:26
I would love to see Lautaro Martinez at OT. He is not quite the finished article but will be helped by Cavani being around to hone his skills. Maybe, Inter could help us out by taking Martial off our hands too.
