we often score six but we seldom score ten

I agree with you on this and frankly our "searching for bargains" have been inferior to say the least compared with our rivals in recent seasons.

Barthez was only a few mil wasn't he? I'd call that a bargain. Blanc on a free, tremendous bargain as he is pure gold :D

Barthez was bought for 7 million plus

Not exactly a bargain

Solksjaer was purchased form 1.5 million pounds - now that's a bargain

Blanc was brought in for a one season stop-gap measure to cover for stam's departure, he's not going to be a bargain for next season.

Not being picky or anything - ;) - but it's

I do think United fans should be able to spell the players' names. :D

Barthez cost 7 mill, Kirkland cost Liverpool 8 or 9 mill. An unproven Div1 keeper for more than a world reknowned keeper, work it out.
 
I`ve alway said Veron with his poor play is a kind of a person with no self esteem <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

Where did you sit? I was in the K and I thought it was shite apart from the shit we gave Charlie and the odd "United, United" chant.

I did, sometimes at least.

{quote]<strong>* Charlie got lots of stick which was funny at the time but he had the last laugh.</strong>

No, we do, as he´ll be banned for the FA Cup Semi for him playing handball on Saturday.

<strong>* A rubbish ref who was flashing cards around like they were going out of fashion.</strong><hr></blockquote>

How many Boro handballs did you count?


<strong>* Forlan still not quite up to speed yet, it’ll come.</strong><hr></blockquote>

Hope so, he was running around like a headless chicken sometimes. You can´t blame him for not trying, but he has to get used to his team mates.
 
Yeah but what I mean was the atmosphere for this type of fixture the 'we only need to turn up for this one' fixture. Before the resurrection of the stretford end the atmosphere for these type of games was piss-poor. You have to say there has been an improvement in the last few years though.

Just because pool signed a more expensive unknown doesn't mean we got Barthez on the cheap.

Use some logic, will you?
