Manchester United or Liverpool?

[Slime]

And judging by Liverpool's performance tonight ............................ well, they were awful.
Total admiration and respect for Gerrard's honesty afterwards, that interview looked like it really hurt him.

I will donate £25 to the HFH charity if we do not get into the top 4 come may! I am that confident we can turn this poor start around! Will have a quiet word with the players on sat afternoon before we go out and batter West Ham

A fool and his money ......... !

Only 3 points between 4th & 16th, I wouldn't get too complacent, you could drop like a stone :smirk:

Or we could go on a winning run and pip Chelsea for the title.

C'mon mate, it's the highest we've been since week two of last season, let me crow a little. We're going to be in a Champions League slot for at least two week! Who said the summer was over?

Hmmmmm.
Mathematically it's still possible!
Come on you reds!

How do the Man U fans feel about the prestigious friendlies in CL weeks, after Christmas?

How would you
feel if you lost out on CL qualification by two points, after bad results after them?

Surely United after spending £180m this calender year are expected to finish top 4 minimum?

Prestigious? UEFA won't sanction any against brand CL so it's off to Dubai/Qatar for couple mill exhibition match bit short sighted really as missing out on CL next year won't only cost the 50m in revenue there's the 50m adidas won't have to pay on kit sponsorship too.
Would of made more sense to of had a Half decent league cup run!

Expecting think the glazers business plan will be up the creek without a paddle if there not CL again next season.

They have to miss two seasons in a row for any loss to be incurred. En it falls from £75m to a measly £50m. Obviously the CL is important. But they've just spent £180m so if next season they only had £100m next year, that'd still be quite a war chest. Love them or hate them. Put as a business, nobody in England has their buying power.

fair assessment , as I thought from you.

Maybe well both miss out this year and play each other every 3 weeks in Asian countries, both make a mint.

Sadly could see the glazers being okay with that.

No problems with that. A good opportunity to give some youngsters some experience.

Gutted ............................ obviously.

I always expect United to finish in the top four.
This season is no different. I think they'll be 3rd or 4th ........................ don't you?

Maybe be it'll be home and away Boston and Tampa?

 

[pbrown7582]

Ah that's not how I heard it but fair enough if that's the case.

Although not sure it's quite as profitable as it seems with a profit announced on last years figs being eschewed but a tax relief bonus from the US government, without this a loss would of been shown I believe.

 

[Liverbirdie]

I wouldn't rule it out in the next 10 years, sadly.

It's that game 39 scenario once they get bored of pre-season tours.

Interesting read, especially Man Utd's net spend which doesn't include Falcao loan deal and then there's Liverpool & Arsenals, gives me the impression that they spent more than the true worth of some players going by how they are performing, or not shall we say :smirk:

It's the old net and gross spend argument which will go on forever

Still spent £200 mil in two years - selling players like Mata ,Luiz and Lukaku helps bring the net figure down

We have sold a bit which helps , Arsenal not as much and UTD no one
