    Yeah, that happened a while ago. We started with signatures around half a year ago and carried out a phased disabling of HTML throughout the forums, which was completed shortly before the server move.

    Davey M saying United will not invest in January either. Are you insane? I appreciate it's not necessarily his decision so my question is aimed at whoever's it is. Whoever we want will be available in the Summer! Yeah great but if you're not in the top 4 they won't come to you. Liverpool had bids for Mkhitaryan, Willian and Costa all accepted and all three players turned us down. Daniele De Rossi came out and said he'd have killed himself if he had signed for United. It's only going to get worse if they don't make the CL. On the plus side for them though, both United and Moyes are famous for having strong post-January pushes.

    Talking about Liverpool for a nice change, we also need to make a couple of good signings in January, similar to the boost that Sturridge and Coutinho gave us last year. The squad is absolutely paper thin and we've had a lot of injuries - Gerrard, Sturridge, Agger, Sakho, Enrique and Flanagan are currently out, and we've had plenty of other players who have been out on the sidelines too. Of the entire first team squad I think only Henderson, Mignolet and Lucas have been available for every match. When you're having to send on a 19 year old left back for his first team debut on the left wing when you're 2-1 down to Chelsea you know you're in trouble. Oh and someone needs to reassess whatever the hell it is we're doing to our players in training.

    He didn't say they won't, to my knowledge, he said it's unlikely because it's tricky to bring in players during this transfer window, something which I thought everyone knew about. The players he's after may well be tied to their CL club and want to wait 'til the end of the season, and one can expect that the agents (let alone players) won't be keen to book into United while there is a lot of uncertainty over next year's Champions League. They'll want to know for sure they aren't leaving a CL club for a non-CL club.

    But, for what it's worth, the new chairman is person I hold to blame for last transfer window's absolutely farce. Woodward is awful compared to Gill. Seriously. The guy might be good at the commerce and debt management end, but when it comes to player purchasing I have no faith in him whatsoever.

    If you find out how to not get players injured so much, please let us know! xD

    Definitely.

    If we aren't gonna make any purchases in this transfer window then it would just be nice to have a squad that doesn't have half it's players in the treatment room.

    Current Top 4 to be exactly the same come the end of the season. Just in a different order.

    EDIT: In regards to Liverpool, they just seem to have a change of attitude this season. They've always been a team that create chances but it's been their consistency that lets them down. I reckon they're good enough to take third spot this year ahead of Arsenal.

    the whole "I'm want to play CL football" line that players like to trot out irks me. "oooh I want to play in the CL so i'm going to wait for a call from barca or real or milan!! sorry liverpool/etc"

    Okay then so if you're that desperate to play CL football why don't you offer your services to Shaktar? They're in quite a bit. How about Olympiakos! They've pretty much been ever present in the last 20 odd years. No? Thought not. Piss off. Knobheads.

    also i have no real desire to talk about david moyes but I found this doing a search for something unrelated, and I'm not really agreeing or disagreeing with the sentiment or claiming that this paper is worth listening to, but, well...when the daily mail gives more respect to people called Abu Mohammed Bin Hamza coming over here and taking our benefits and council houses and plotting to kill us all jihad praise allah...I'm just saying, you've had to have sunk pretty low.

    It's an interesting article, although I'd be quick to ask Martinez what he thought about Wigan getting relegated under his management if he doesn't think you need money in order to succeed. FA Cup or not, they stayed up in previous seasons.

    The problem with Wigan is that whenever they had good players like Baines, Moses, Valencia and even the likes of Hugo Rodagella, other teams would nick 'em (Wigan not being very glamourous of course) and they'd have to rebuild every year, causing them to be awful up until the last few months of the season once they'd finally gelled.

    In happier news, Leicester top of the Championship. It would be incredible to see the Foxes back in the Prem. All this talk of Man United signing Koke amuses me. I got him on loan for Leicester in FIFA 12 and he tore up the Championship along with the mighty Darius Vassell and David Nugent. ...oh god Leicester are the new Cardiff and it's all going to go tits up again isn't it.

    Speaking of Koke, damn, Athletico are tearing up La Liga this season!

    Yeah it's nice to see a change over there. Shame the same can't be said for the Bundesliga, with Bayern systematically dismantling Dortmund player-by-player.

    The sad thing is that I fear Real & Barca (amongst others) may inevitably do the same to Athletico.

    Told a big United supporting coworker that Moyes had been sacked and Fergie would take over for the rest of the season. I shall remember the excitement in his little face as he sprinted over to his PC to check BBC Football, quickly replaced by disgust when he was only greeted with a gigantic picture of Andy Carroll until the day I die. He was not best pleased that I built his hopes up like that... and he feels the same way about Andy Carroll as our very own Old Manus does.

    It's definitely true that luck is against you whenever you're playing badly. That was never a penalty. Plus, when I had money on 1-1 I'm doubly annoyed. There is just a complete lack of belief in the squad. I don't see things getting much better in the near future either.

    The one bright spot of the night was young Januzaj though. That boy is gonna be world class.

    That really was some dive by Adam Johnston though.

    Anyway, I am numbed to our troutness. No words here can hurt me. It's like it's 1989 and I'm 11 all over again watching this dross. I'm going to the same safe place now that I went to then when all the glory hunting Liverpool supporters at school gave me regular trout. There's beer in this safe place. beer and cushions.

    Also.
