    October and December looking like they could be the toughest runs domestically.

    Window closes 5th Oct - Ed’s wallet may creak open then, so we could use our new players :)

    Heard from somebody that the season officially starts this weekend with the FA Community Shield (Whiners North-West vs London Bants) - hadn't realised it was that close.

    Think we have started the season in better shape :)

    Yeah, it's because they have to make room for the international fixtures. So they are doing the Shield, and then everyone is leaving on international break. So dumb.

    Speaking of Donny, not sure if this can be verified but he apparently was the player who won the most Pks in the Eredivisie since 2018.

    :ROFLMAO:
    Given his technical attributes, along with his movement and ability to find himself in dangerous positions in the box, wouldn't be a surprise if he was high up in that category at least...

    Maguire involved in altercation with police and jailed, still ongoing.

    Now Mason sent home for both breaking agreed Icelandic / FA quarantine rules and also FA player behavior regulations. Also being investigated by police.

    Remember when the bad-boy player pre-season news a few years back was that Rom / Pogs had a bit of a noisy party?

    Looks like the clubs ambition is once again limited to just trying to be one of the best of the also-rans and squeak a CL spot in order to keep paying the dividends.

    France, too. Not to mention how it keeps moving around the US.

    What now for Manchester United?

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/54221832

    This could get real ugly, real fast unless everyone from top to bottom reacts decisively. Simply can not afford to let things just spin out of control so early. Start with the people at the top obviously (by getting Ole the minimum reinforcements he needs).
    And it goes all the way to Ole himself and the players who need to do better also: looking back at yesterday's performance, it was just awful from pretty much everyone.

    The teams above us are still out of reach with this level of investment, of more immediate concern however is that the London teams who finished below us in particular have invested.

    If Ed thinks we can effectively stand still (so the owners still get their fat dividends) and we will still get CL football he is wrong.

    I fear United will never be the same glorious big club it was during Ferguson's tenure, maybe not in our lifetimes. The Glazers must sell, and the new owners must be determined to return Manchester United to its big club status. I think we were lucky to have experienced pre-Glazer United.
