[Silverhatch]

They're going English the next time around I think.

Got GPott @ 14/1

I can feel United putting a big bid in for JPvH in January.

They aren’t doing that great with money; I wonder if they could afford him.

Looks like a fair bet

'Man Utd is not a destination for top players now' - Gary Neville, just now on Sky Sports.

Christ.

Superb weekend. Really enjoying Manures demise and scum n scum drawing was the result we could have hoped for.

As with us, I couldn’t be happier, and our new signings aren’t available yet. Pretty exciting what we could achieve with them available.

The media driven Arsenal 'fairytale' now to be replaced by the Liverpool one, the magic of Anfield etc.

This rather assumes the media love-in for Liverpool went away. Especially given Neville is about the only non-Liverpool pundit on Sky.

Sorry about the result.

Add Keane, Carney, Richards, Prutton, Merson.

We get our fair share of praise these days though, don’t we? Bournemouth and Brentford will join us if they keep up their early season form too

I had forgotten Richards (or possibly blotted him from my memory) but very rarely see Keane TBH, and Merse mainly does Saturday afternoons, no?

Also not sure why you’re sorry about the result?

In the past you said for people in your world reasons, it’s awful if Liverpool win.

Surely he’d want the chance to play in Europe again next year so why drop down to a poorer team?

Ah get you, it’s not awful as such I just dislike them intently, although it’s similar to the Palace vs Chelsea game earlier of not really enjoying either side wining much. Basically thank goodness for the cricket to avoid having to watch them!

IF any of our players are going anywhere, it will be for big bucks and good clubs.

That kind of narrows it down . . .quite a lot.

A good weekend for me. Albion, plus Pool beat ManU and all the London clubs I dislike lost/drew. The Everton implosion was also remarkable.

They've just signed De Ligt and Yoro. They still have Martinez and Maguire. Central defence is the last position they're going to spend on next in my opinion.

The magic of Anfield now covers Old Trafford

Nah. He'll go to a better club. And not in January.

Often with the proviso: "With all due respect to". One pundit said about our Man U game that we were overachieving while Utd were underachieving by contrast, which is absolutely true, but we are always reminded of where we're actually supposed to be in the pecking order. Maybe I'm being too precious about it, but who is to tell us what we should be achieving...
