2 very conflicting quotes from the BBC live feed just then re: United

- I love Ole but now, he's tarnishing the love. Time to go. This team is too good for this.
Anon

- Manchester United's record 29-game unbeaten run away from home is over.

Both good and bad there.
He needs to go, they should of sacked him after our result.
Wolves are 8th now
 
Oh I see what you're saying now.

But the problem is there are only so many world class players. City, United and Chelsea will still pick the 22 they want and they'll largely be better than what is left. It doesn't solve anything.

Hmm not sure. If we didn’t have any spending constraints this summer we’d have probably brought in a first choice right back, central midfielder, solid reserve left back, decent back up striker, and a first choice quality wide player (with Townsend being in reserve). We wouldn’t be challenging for the title but the way United are going we’d be looking at maybe competing for fourth. If we got in we’d then have a base to challenge further from there. FFP has meant we might not even challenge for europa league because any injury will kill us. Newcastle will have a period of three years in which to make it and if they don’t then they’re hamstring by FFP as well as they’d then have expensive players on big wages but without Europe the revenue stream can’t sustain it so they can’t spend any more without player sales. If it was removed then both clubs would just keep spending every window until the gap was closed as the owners wouldn’t care about running losses.
 
After the international break and against us are probably the only times I would sit down and try to watch Watford anyway.
It's not such a bad choice from a business point of view seeing as most of our fans watch the rs every chance they get
Is anyone else just relieved to not have the constant noshing off of Leeds shoved in their face every day this season unlike last?
Jesus christ. I've no idea why a previous post I'd responded to has appeared here. I only clicked on 'Reply' to your post Z.

Anyway, If you thought the oral sex with Leeds was bad, wait till you see what happens with Newcastle.

This is exactly what I don't want anymore. If you're saying this then the system is still not functioning in terms of competitive balance.
