I think Cou would be the best bet for long term. I have Alonso, Carra, Torres, Suarez, and Gerrard so I want someone who can contribute as much as those. All my other ones don't have anything on the back and I really like them that way too....

I really miss the Calrsberg sponsor on our shirts. I'll wear my older shirts just out of nostalgia...probably because that's who we had when I really started following closely. And I'm looking forward to seeing next year's kits on Sunday. I haven't ordered mine yet because I don't know if/who I want...

Personally, I see this bringing UTD back to the top 5 pack. I have had them as the top team in England and it wasn't that close the last 2-3 years (imo, UTD should've won the league last year and it took that crazy QPR game to ruin that). But, I don't see that separation anymore. I think they are ev...

It is not stupid to say that it's conceivable for UTD to have a drop off with this change in manager. There is a decent possibility that UTD don't win any silverware next year (with SAF they only won the league once...

FFP is a whole other factor that deserves it's own thread. But you're right, they shouldn't have any concerns in that area. Listen, I'm not condemning UTD to the bottom half of the table by any means. They still have amazing players and a deep roster. Fergie isn't going anywhere, he's still going to...

This is probably some of the greatest news I've ever heard. I've been waiting for SAF to move on for years (I actually thought he'd manage until his mid-70's) because with him, UTD were truly something special. I hate that man. He bullied the media, intimidated referees, and manipulated the very ass...

Well to be fair, I think most UTD supporters would still admit that he's world class...and he might have made them forget about Tevez and Berbatov (although, didn't he lead the league in goals in 2010? Or was that 2011?) but I don't think he would've fit their system as well as he does ours. The bes...
