Like you have since 1991? LOL
You can almost smell the desperation.
I'm so upset that were top of the league without a defeat and playing amazing football. If only it was 1991.

So having read the last few pages (mostly about Spurs and Utd.) seems our owners aren't actually blood sucking leeches after all ?
woo wooo....
I think there's been mostly praise since FSG took over. Seem to have the club's interests at heart and are prepared to spend money to make money. woo wooo....
Who'd have thought 5 years ago that we'd be willing or able to break world record transfers?
Doing that while actually having a plan, talent spotting and developing youth. We should enjoy it while it lasts.

Unlike you I am not attempting to defend the indefensible! Yes we haven't won the league for a long time also I haven't given it the biggun thinking we are something we are not, like yourself. I feel sorry for UTD fans anyway, sorry for the horrid football you are playing, the vile players you have and the terrible league position!

Some thought F$G were here to sell the club and spend no money. How wrong they were...
Hindsight and the passing of time is also a wonderful thing. I think many on here were also right to question F$G's transfer committee policy of buying mainly young under-24 potentials. You can see why perhaps there was some fan resentment and stories of F$G are only in it for the money, when we were constantly finishing 6th or 7th in the league as a result.Now F$G have a great balance of bringing in youth, taking calculated risks on young quality players and spending big money when needed - this now translating into the strong team and strong results we have now, so all is well in the garden of F$G.

Melchett is a Chelsea supporter isn't he?
Judging by the way he defended the (alleged) racist fans at the bridge last week, I'd say so yes.Edited by Adam B on Wednesday 19th December 15:25

It doesn’t greatly trouble me either way but I hope Poch stays as:
1 it keeps his talent at a club that won’t properly fund it
2 it keeps his talent from rapidly turning around Utd
3 it’s a further reduction in Utds stature if they chase him and he turns them down
4 it’s good for football generally if money doesn’t always win the argument
I agree with points 2 to 4. Point 1 is being addressed by the new stadium. It's being built to enable us to compete. Matchday income will be boosted up to Arsenal levels.1 it keeps his talent at a club that won’t properly fund it
2 it keeps his talent from rapidly turning around Utd
3 it’s a further reduction in Utds stature if they chase him and he turns them down
4 it’s good for football generally if money doesn’t always win the argument
However if you read between the lines of this statement and still think he's considering moving to United then your 'reading between the lines' super power is in terminal decline.
Your second point is irrelevant as I didn’t say any of that
