So there's Laudrup gone. Unless he's not. Hard to tell these days!
The Mourinho comments were a joke. Not paid much attention to the media, but everyone I've spoken to about it has found it laughable.
Man Utd
Man City
Chelsea
Some other team

Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
Sign him up, United! Shelvey for £5m or Fellaini for £27m? Hell, Shelvey for £27m over Fellaini for £5m would seem like great business, even without the homegrown rule.
Newcastle fan here for my sins, I must of been a bad person in a past life to get stuck with the toon lol.
I'm going for Arsenal to win the league, though my head says Chelsea and City will be too strong in the end.
Welcome to the debate, magemasher!
Any fans are welcome here... well, any fans whose team is below mine. Everybody else's can smurf right off.
Cheers Bub (I've always wanted to say that) Who's your team?
I'm Man Utd for my sins so it's been an interesting season to say the least!
You guys had a great start. It was a shame you couldn't hold onto Cabaye.
Yeah Cabaye was a real shame,, I'd regard him as the best player I've seen live in a stadium. We could of kept him only our owners show no ambition beyond making a profit.
and I thought we could be the first ones to break the cross-town boundaries and be something special.Originally Posted by Bubba
Haha, only joking DK!
I respect pretty much everyone's opinion on this thread and try not to antagonize anyone.
You're all OK by me!
me and pauw were ranting about moyes the other day, and I was going off on one about how he should be playing pretty much how chelsea set up against us. whoever is your most fit striker as a lone striker, fat wayne, kagawa and mata as a front four who can do basically whatever they want. 5 at the back, 3 CB's to shore up the defence and cover for each other, two wing backs who can get forward if needs be and then whoever in your midfield is not crippled in the middle as a solo guy to link between attack and defence and drop back if the situation calls for it. that's what I'd do anyway.
mind you i've been heavily playing FM on my phone recently and it's given me a proper boner for the lone striker/christmas tree so that might have something to do with it
The ideal setup for us would focus on our strengths, which would mean three CA's and two CM/DM's, no wingers. None of our (outright) wingers are performing well enough at the moment.
ST: RVP, Rooney, Welbeck, Hernandez
CAx3: Mata, Rooney, Kagawa, Januzaj and Young/Nani/Valencia could probably perform in such roles if they had to, too.
CM/DM: Carrick, Fellaini, Cleverley, Jones, Giggs, shut up we don't have great options here.
And a regular back four with Rio & Vidic only starting in dead rubbers because damn, they aged badly.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
that's what i'm saying. it's pointless packing out utd's centre mid section because you're utterly trouthouse there right now. 3 CB's gives you more cover at the back and also means old men rio and vidic have to cover less ground when they play. i personally favour more defensive minded FB's as well, so while evra and rafael could make the odd run if the situation demands it ideally they'd focus on defense. then the front four do all the work. mata and kagawa especially have the potential to be a sick combo if given free reign.
ashley young should be nowhere near any utd team ever, even at their absolute worst. I remember in the last match one thing that really pissed me off was when he spunked a chance from 6 yards wide and moyes was flailing around on the touchline all "how could you miss that?"
How could you pick him you ginger tit? He's trout. He's always been trout. You refuse to give shinji a game but persist with this trouthouse bag of balls and then appear offended when he's trout. it's smurfing stupid
I don't even know what to think about Laudrup going. I was already in the middle of raging about Kevin Pietersen getting the chop by the ECB when I got a text from my old man with the news, so that only fuelled my displeasure. It wasn't helped by the Fulham game on at the time being the worst game of football I have seen in years.
On further reflection I just hope that the board have something up their sleeve. There must have been some real reason for the dismissal, as it couldn't really have been results; we've been doing alright considering we're still playing games in Europe and the FA Cup. Just before the Cardiff game as well! I hope Garry Monk can instill the brevity of the game into some of the players and I'm sure he will, the man bleeds Swansea. I don't much rate his ability to manage long term though. The main things I'm worried about are our big players leaving with Laudrup, and who the hell do we replace him with?
Besides that, I think some kind of table with members and their respective teams would be handy for any new people coming into the OFFICIAL EOFF ANNUAL PREMIER LEAGUE BANTER THREAD.
Old Manus Swansea City Psychotic Liverpool Loony BoB Manchester United Rocket Edge Manchester United Bubba Manchester United charliepanayi Arsenal DK Manchester City Cuchulainn Manchester United Heath Everton The Captain Liverpool Shoden Newcastle United Russielloyd RIP Blackburn Rovers
I think that's the regulars.
there was a picture here
it's hilarious to look at that table and think back when it would have been dominated by arsenal ponces. and they try to accuse us of being glory fans. smurf off.
the laudrup thing is smurfing stupid man. there is absolutely no benefit to sacking a manager a week after the mid season transfer window closes.
also seriously, what the living smurf is the deal with KP? being given some comdey cricketing blacklisting from the england squad, what the trout. I actually feel geniunely sad for him that he's been frozen out of the team.
Don't forget "Lifelong Spurs Fan" Iceglow!
Also I may have drove panayi away before the season had even properly started this yearcharlie, if you're reading this, I have a song for you.
Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good!
WANT YOU BACK
WANT YOU BACK
WANT YOU BACK FOR GOOD
