He forgot to mention it's 100k of monopoly money, he owns 5 different versions.
He said on current form. I assume that he believes Henderson is playing well. Personally thought he was shite in the two England games. Only the scouser can say whether he has played well in the PL.
In truth I think we as fans have had the entitlement since the late sixties. It has always been 'we are United', 'every rational player wants to play for United', 'we are the richest/biggest and thus deserve to win'. It is what created the ABU culture.
I am about to put 100k of my own Monopoly money on those odds aswell.Same here. I actually see us winning and if we lose it'll be tight but I'm confident we're winning.
I build and break stuff on the web.
Sorry mate, I've never touched monopoly money before in my life. Think you got the wrong person.
United were playing utter garbage in the last two seasons and still made it to top four in one of the seasons and finished with same tally of points as the team finishing fourth last season. I will not be too surprised if a team dropped six to eight points from top four going into the second half of the season and came back to finish second or third simply because the sure contenders for top four start dropping points randomly. The level of consistency shown by the so called traditional top teams have been very poor over the period of last few seasons and I do not expect that to change anytime soon. I get what you're saying though. It's better to be safe than sorry. We cannot really afford to finish anywhere below top three this season if we are to grow into potential title conrenders for the next season. But I do think even if we or any other team struggles with the results, they will still be given bucket load of chances to make it back into the top four. Being consistently dominant is near to impossible in this league and it could be attributed to both lack of world class quality in top EPL teams and improving standards of the mid table teams. So I wouldn't worry about the league standings too much as long as we stay somewhere close to the top four going into the second half of the season. Of course I do believe that United will do much better than just being in and around top four.
For sure there will. However, I expect Ibra to continue to play the way he has been so far - up top, dropping a little bit back to link up. The main think issue with Ibra is whether he is able to finish the chances that he gets. Wayne, on the other hand, was playing as a number 10 or an attacker on a flank (a midfielder last time) and has been failing miserably both for United as well as the English National Team.
If your bet wins you'll received a twix and a half eaten bag of walkers crisps as your prize.
Nevertheless, a win here and that will be a big statement about our chance at the title. We should be glad that we are playing them after the international break as that might have disrupted their form.
All this is well and good and the point about improving teams, not associated with title tilts, is both accurate and the main reason why this is probably the most competitive league in the world (notice I didn't say it contained the best teams). However those same reasons do not exclude United and you too will drop points here and there, no matter how much you improve, that is the nature of the PL now. I'd say it is already way ahead of the PL of the last two seasons so your theory of it being relatively easy to pick up 6-8 points would be invalid if this turns out to be the case.

Money talks. Throw enough of it around and sooner or later you'll have the manager and team to ride the wave. It's more difficult with the likes of other monied clubs around, City and Chelsea for example, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs - with increasing income could narrow the gap and make it more difficult still. Probably the eras of one-two club domination are past for the foreseeable future (barring an alien invasion) and that's got to be good for game.
Well to be fair the whole England team was shite in those two matches ! I was one of those doubting Henderson' ability to return to his form of 2 years ago, however after a slowish start to the season he has improved substantially and been generally excellent, and a major surprise, in the deep-lying midfielder role.

Yes. However if you look at the average position / heat maps you will see Wijnaldum is slightly forward of henderson and slightly left and is used as a fulcrum. Lallana is further forward and is all over the place - as you would expect !
And this is how urban myths begin ..... it was one guy who said that so please refrain from using a plurality !Welcome to the fickleness of fans. It wasn't really that long ago after they Burnley match where Henderson couldn't make a bloody simple pass that everyone was laughing at him and Pool fans were absolutely maddened because of him, wanting the guy to never kick a ball for them again
Just like how reactionary they were back then they are doing they same again, this time by over rating him and putting him over the likes of Pogba
