If you're unable to beat Fulham at home and also at a loss to explain why you didn't, then it's probably time to go.
Anyone see the fist-pump and glance up at Fergie in the stands when they went 2-1 up? Bet he loved that...

I am old enough to remember the days when Liverpool were all conquering. They were the team to beat both at home and in Europe. Football goes in cycles, one or two teams dominate for a while then others push their way up and take over. That is a natural cycle.
In recent years we have seen teams come to the fore by just throwing money at it, buying success. You only have to look at the money Chelsea and Manchester City have spent. What happens when the owner gets bored. Fans will not tolerate the delay in nurturing young players and building a team (and I use the word team here not just a collection of players). Manchester United see a problem, not getting success, mid-table. What do they do? Spend a load of money, 37 million on one player. They try to spend their way out of the situation.
I have loved and watched football for getting on 50 years but I am now so disillusioned with it. -

The difference is clubs like ourselves and Arsenal have earnt our money. If we decide to spend our money it's completely fair game, it's using resources we have earnt over time. Chelsea & City's finances are a completely different story and make a mockery of the game. I hoped they'd both do a Blackburn but a las, it hasn't turned out that way. -

You're completely right, but there are so many sugar daddies knocking about now that it's hardly worth having the argument any more.
City and Chelsea get the attention because their owners are the richest, but the likes of Southampton, Villa and Newcastle, even Cardiff and Wigan have all benefitted in a similar way. No stopping it now.
The ironic thing is that a large chunk of the cash United have earned over the years is now being swallowed up by the Glazers' interest payments, you've had it worse than anyone really. -

wayne rooney is a joke atm,
languishing in 7th place and he wants a 300 grand contract
A great player for Utd over the years, although at times ill-advised by 'his' people. Personally think we have had the best out of him, time to free up his wages and get as much as we can for him.... Any deal with Chelsea should see Lukaku come to Utd -

Mata only joined UTD for playing time so he can play in the world cup, if UTD don't get CL spot Mata will leave along with RVP & Rooney....UTD have a lot more problems to face and they will need to rebuild with youth....if you look at the state US is in can't see the American owners splashing the cash not to mention any good player that wants to play for a team not in the CL -

Well Rooney's about to sign a new deal, so...
As long as they're giving him £300k for the next 5 and a half years (which is mental and will take him up to the age of 34) he probably couldn't care less where they finish. -
