Agree on the lack of takeover talk. There was a good section on the BSkyB deal on the BBC Premier League 30th anniversary thing last year. People probably underestimate how much a takeover like that can unsettle a club. Fergie, by all accounts, didn’t want it. There's also the chance they'd...

Chelsea finished 6th Spurs finished 5th That's "progress" for them after being so chaotic the previous season but still nowhere near good enough (especially for Chelsea). If we finished trophyless next season and outside the top 4, nobody on here would consider that a good or decent season.

That Chelsea period of going 1st - 10th - 1st was a freak though. In 14/15, United scraped 4th and were knocked out the League Cup by MK Dons which was the last time we had no Europe. Not exactly massive progress (especially given the money that was spent in the summer of 2014.) I also object...

This is absolute nonsense. There's zero benefit to United not being in Europe next season. Look at some examples from this season. Chelsea and Spurs have hardly been adverts for the benefits of not being in Europe either. All that extra time to train and they only finished 5th and 6th.

Make football/sport ludicrously expensive to even watch on TV and then complain when an entire generation doesn't engage with it.

L.O.L at Bolton, the Munich singing whoppers.

That's probably quite close to what will happen. Unless we get 3 centre backs in, I reckon one of Maguire or Lindelof will stay.

There's a time and a place for booing the team off, last night wasn't it. Defiance was ace to see. I'm also not sure what our response should be if we aren't defiant. A couple of other points I'll repeat from previous threads. - The Glazers essentially had people threatening to attack them and...

I'm sorry but this is nonsense. Nothing wrong with fans showing a bit of defiance.

Our away fans are still watching and singing. Fair play to them all. If that was Liverpool fans, they'd have a camera permanently fixed to them.

Monday night

I think even Cole admits now that he should have stayed another couple of years, even as a squad player. He'd improved his game that much that there was an argument he could even play as more of a number 10. The few games he played with Ruud with in 01/02, he still looked really good...

Fergie's biggest achievement was almost making it seem normal to finish seasons for 21 years in the top 3 and challenging for a trophy. That just didn't happen to the same extent before that. Even when we had a dodgy period between 2004 and 2006, we still won two trophies and never finished...

It will be extended with big outdoor concerts in mind. I also reckon they want the Wales international matches there.

In other news, Margaret Thatcher stepped down the same day. It was the day that the 90s truly began...
