confirmation on goal scorers, Mata / Memphis & Perreira
seems there was a little confusion on the 1st goal as Memphis may have got a touch off Matas shot...
all in all....good result...standout performances from Shaw / Memphis before they were subbed off at halftime
Perreira also very good in 2nd half
Agreed sweini was good too

Would you guys be keen on an EPL mega thread for the upcoming season?

The deadline for the transfer window has been bought forward this year, so if I'm correct (don't quote me on this), the window should close September 1st 6pm UK, which is September 2nd 3am AU time

As always, teams can apply for extensions to complete their signings so some deals may be completed after September 1st

As for your final question, I'm really unsure who Wenger has in mind (if any) because Jackson Martinez was available but nothing happened, then Morgan Schneiderlin was available and nothing happened and more recently, Arturo Vidal who was linked to you guys seems to be a done deal to Bayern Munich.. unless Wenger has a card up his sleeve, I'd be a bit worried because there's no real chatter of incoming targets besides the Benzema rumour and I don't even know if there's any truth to that

So like usual, we either have to wait till the last hour or look forward to the frog signing a 5 month old baby.

A bit rich of Wenger to come out and criticise MUFC for buying a title ... So he hasn't splurged lately (Ozil, Sanchez and Carzola come to mind) .. Hypocritical French prick

You guys actually care what the specialist in losing thinks?

He is the main reason why we don't win titles that mean something.

Yes, the FA Cup is a Fuk All Cup.

Sanchez and Ozil are 2 players, bought in different seasons as well, and the most paid between them was 42m for Ozil. Cazorla cost about 15m by the way, that's less than or around even with the amounts United paid for Phil Jones, Juan Mata, Rooney, Ashley Young, Carrick, Fellaini, Luke Shaw, Antonio Valencia and Marcos Rojo.

United have already spent around 75m on players this off-season alone, as well as 150m last off-season. It's not even debatable, it's easy to quantify and observe and it clearly shows United are spending far more.

Who cares how much we spend? The game is different now than when ferguson was making his mark. If you don't invest in your team you get left behind- simple. And if you have the money to spend why wouldn't you?

So the £16 million spent on Welbeck doesn't count ... I know what your saying is an observation but let him mind his own business and not cast aspersions on other teams business. The only problem with this so called "war chest" in which he said they buy almost anyone is they have missed out on nearly every target they have identified (Martinez, Vidal, Schneiderlin etc)

Thoroughly entertaining first half against Barca, Rooney's headed goal from a Young corner separates the two sides at halftime

Suarez has hit the post twice and Roberto denied by De Gea in a one-on-one.. f*ck it, lets just sign Otamendi to keep Real Madrid away from De Gea, since signing Ramos would mean he goes in the other direction, De Gea's such an incredible keeper and will save us easily 15 points or so throughout the season

Personally, I'd switch Depay and Mata, Depay's much better when he's out wide running at players and Mata's also much better when he's central and dictating play

Lingard with probably his first touch since coming on after LvG made 11 changes to the side once it hit 62mins scores the 2nd goal
