Please please please let their world class players leave.

 

Honestly thought you'd get someone with that little nugget.

It took us 25 years to stumble on it...

They’re 6 years in...

It took them almost 70 years the first time to stumble on Busby and then after he retired it took another 27 years to bring in Fergie. Ratboy is a clutching at straws knobhead, that team is fucking shite and none of their players get in ours or Abu Dhabis first team

Who are the 5th most successful club would be a good pub quiz question.

Most wouldn't say Villa I reckon.

Lots of charlies would probably say Man City or Spurs!

[Jon2lfc]

We've won the European Super Cup more times than this lot have won the European Cup

Just saying like

[Skeeve]

Seems a slightly iffy table, if the euro charity shield gets included in any total then so should the fifa world charity shield too.

[Father Ted]

Plus the actual charity shield, which United have won more than us.

The World one yes, but not the actual one - you can finish second in the league and qualify for it like we did, whilst the others require both finalists to win another competition.

Ratface has gone full Everton

“What I’m saying is, Liverpool, City, Tottenham, all these clubs have had poor recruitment policies over the last 25 or 30 years at times,” Neville told Sky Bet’s The Big Debate.

“So United are going through one at the moment.

“Eventually they will stumble upon the right recruitment system, the right recruitment people, they’ll get a great manager – hopefully that’s Ole – and they’ll start to win again. That’s going to happen.

“I can guarantee you as clear as day, Manchester United will win again. They’ll probably win the league before Liverpool, in my opinion. And that’s not being disrespectful, they’ll probably win the league before Liverpool.”

But Neville continued: “Maybe not, but I think they’ll win a league before Liverpool.

“They’re more ripe, they’re closer than you think and it’s not as bad as you think. That’s always the way it is.

“And Liverpool, Salah’s going to leave in the next 12 months, I can see it already.

“He [Carragher] knows, he won’t say it. I can see it, you can feel it, you can smell it, you know when a player’s like…”

Fuck me

Is that fake? Surely it is

[Father Ted]

Fair enough, I just thought we were counting all 'honours'.

[sms1986]

Fuck me

Not sure, either way it's fucking hilarious!

Seems slightly iffy because it's wrong. Completely wrong. 

[Hij]

Salah seems like a genuinely nice and humble guy. But he didn’t travel 8 hours to training every day as a kid to win 1 trophy.

Thank fuck he won his second one with us tonight.

Also of course he's gonna leave eventually - he won't be playing upfront when he's 55.

We may even cash in when it's right for us as a club - but the way in which it used to work (as you say "they always leave") he would have left last summer or this most recent summer and he still didn't.

[Peabee]

Not sure why they didn’t exclude the Super Cup and include the UEFA/Europa. The difference would be the same, but one less trophy each.

[Jambo Power]

Not for Utd though, if you count their cup winners cup which has been swept under the rug in all the debate.

[rafathegaffa83]

Rumour is that Pogba is off to Juve as Fernandes is guaranteed to them in January by his agent...

All seems very disorganised if true

And yet The Times are saying Man Utd aren't interested in Fernandes as his pass completion stats are too low. Also Rojo and Sanchez apparently both want to leave by the end of the European window.

[Nitramdorf]

Just to add to that slightly off table of wins, what the hell are Arsenals 2 euro wins?
Anyhow, we are top. With more to come.

Interesting..

I’d forgotten Sanchez was still there.

Pogba has 2 years left on his contract now.  I can’t imagine that they will let it run down given his worth and how little he wants to be there.

[Max_powers]

Neville is secretly Catcherintherye or St Domingo. Its only a matter of time before he starts ranting about pace goals and complacency!

[leroy]

I like the idea that a well planned recruitment strategy doesn't seem to have occurred to him. It must be "stumbled upon".

[JerseyKloppite]

Looks a bit small time this. We seem to have decided which trophies matter and which don't (eg World Club Cup and the Charity Shield).

Also, what comes under "Euro Other"? There are no UEFA Cups on there, or CWC, and both are arguably more significant than the Super Cup.

Add our three UEFA Cups in there to bump up our total to 46, and our 15 charity shields to take it to 61.
I don't know what their total of 2 for Euro Other is given that they have one Super Cup, one UEFA Cup and one CWC. Add their two CWC titles in any event, their total up to 45. Then add their 21 Community Shields and it's 66.

So yeah. All a bit weird.

We're the most successful club in England if you don't count Community Shields 

[Stussy]

I don't mind Neville saying what he says.

He's a partisan and he's saying what he hopes. Its not analysis, its hope.

We have rattled him so much with our success and a league title will break him.

And if Salah does go we'll replace him and finish ahead of United.

Last season he came out with the genius idea that Liverpool should throw the Champions League to concentrate on trying to win the Premiership

Its like a frightened man saying what he prays will happen out loud.

Gary Nevill is frightened of Liverpool FC

[Charlie Adams fried egg]

Why anyone listens to Neville and his so called analysis is a mystery to me.

He's a partisan Manc who hates Liverpool and wastes no opportunity to try and stir up a bit of trouble / doubt for Liverpool.
He was the one that started the Karius agenda, he did the same to another of our players too - can't recall which one. His advice about throwing the CL too.

On the one hand I wish he'd shut up because some of our more gullible fans actually listen to him, but on the other hand he's quite entertaining because he massively over estimates his intelligence and ends up more often than not making himself look a tit.

Mignolet. Went to some real effort to try and blame him for Jagielka's strike in that 1-1 game. Also said he's not having Shaqiri as a player.

“Arguably”??!!! 

[12C]

I love the way he says United will "stumble upon the right recruitment policy, as if no planning and forethought goes into it. Once they have exhausted every other way of doing it badly, it fill all fall into place as if by magic. Dream on Neville you dumbass.

United were lucky enough to be able to afford a “system” that wasted money on some spectacular flops which, given the number of expensive players they recruited, went most unnoticed. Ferguson was able to spend a fortune on some right garbage. And wasn’t his most successful side a result of the previous managers’ youth recruitment?

[Crosby Nick]

They beat Parma to win a Cup Winners Cup in 94. Might have then win the Super Cup (although doubt it if up against that great Milan side). They maybe win an early UEFA/Fairs Cup too.

[Nobby Reserve]

Chuckled at this snippet on the BBC Gossip Column today:

Manchester United opted against a summer move for Sporting Lisbon and Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes, 24, because their scouts felt he gives the ball away too often

Presumably the sentence concludes with "...and they've already got more than enough players to perform that role."

[Nitramdorf]

Thanks mate, I had no idea they had won something in Europe. I can remember them losing to Valencia in 1980 then losing to Barcelona.

That's it Shaqiri, cheers.
Tell you what though, he's got an opinion on everything, loves to advise managers despite his less than stellar efforts so far, the likes of Klopp, Pochettino etc. must piss themselves when on the receiving end of Gary's wisdom. I think Klopp's chucked a bit of sarcasm his way a few times.
I haven't got a problem with him being a Manc fan, the snide attempts to discredit our players or ramp up pressure is when he crosses the line.

[red1977]

[Riquende]

Presumably whilst being booted out of the Mestalla he was pleading for more time to stumble onto a working strategy.

[beardsleyismessimk1]

We beat Chelsea 4-0 Liverpool lost to Chelsea in the super cup, so we must be better than Liverpool

[rob1966]

Mignolet. Went to some real effort to try and blame him for Jagielka's strike in that 1-1 game. Also said he's not having Shaqiri as a player.

He was correct about Mignolet though - he is sat too deep on his legs and his hands for that goal were around his knees too, he gave himself too much to do.

I banged on about it a bit on here with BabuYagu, Mignolet has also got this real flaw in his technique where, after the ball has been struck, he takes a little hop, this totally fucks his dive up as by the time he then moves, the ball is too close for him to do anything  It wasn't just that goal, one of Dele Allis when we lost 4-1 at Wembley, Burnley 1-1, Leicester when Vardy scored are other examples off the top of my head.

Rest of the time though, rat boy talks utter shite and he is dreaming if he thinks that squad is anywhere near us

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Pretty sure they beat Ajax in the fairs cup

Man Utd are top of the dabs cups league. That is all that matters.

Not really. Not much to argue about is there!
