I do find it hilarious that he's all of a sudden active in here :grinning:

Fairweather supporters, ehy? NO where to be seen when they're down!

Most expensively assembled squad (prior to Chelsea's recent implosion) and people just gloss over it. All of sudden the manager is the best in the world even though he gets 230m in the last window to sign players, on top of the amount they had already been spending. Madness.

Why don't more people talk about this? I don't get it.

Don't get me wrong, credit to them for playing better this year but still ...
United spent 230m in the last 12 months, Liverpool spent 190m (Diaz was in January last year), Arsenal 190m, Chelsea 350m+, City 180m. All clubs have been splashing the cash. You gotta remember that even though our horrible management has wasted a lot of money before the executives and manager were changed at the end of last season, Ten Hag hasnt benefitted from that. In our most played 11 this season, we have:

DDG: 25m, signed by Sir Alex
Shaw: 30m, signed by Moyes
Dalot: 19m, signed by Jose
Eriksen: free signing
Rashford: youth
Garnacho: youth

Half the starting line up only cost us 74m. Then you throw in Casemiro, Varane, Antony which the club spent a lot on but so has each and every club. Even Liverpool needed a 70m Van Dijk, 65m Allison to get the team over the hump. We can only hold Ten Hag accountable for the time he has been here and in his first season we are playing nice football, only 5 points off top, league cup final, FA cup quarters, and are favourites to progress against Barca in Europa.

He has turned Rashford into the most inform player on the continent, blooded in Garnacho and now starting to blood in Mainoo. Dealt with the Ronaldo fiasco. We've lost one league game since the first weekend of November. We beat Arsenal, City and Liverpool when we were underdogs in all of them.

Time is up for Klopp, it's gone stale, his sick note signings and his inability to adapt tactically.

It's becoming a very very slippery slope without doubt.

The door was stupidly opened with the City deal, then the Newcastle one and who knows how many more will happen.
The league shot itself in the foot by turning a blind eye to the Newcastle ownership. Somehow Newcastle convinced them that the Saudi governing body would not be involved at all? it set a precedent for all other potential oil nations and a way around the PL fit and proper test for incoming owners.

I understand my man. I understand.

You're defending your team, and I'd do the same.

I'm not having a pop at your boys at all. You should look at my comments at the start of the year and I was one of the only ones giving you boys a chance to do well this year, and you're living up to what I thought you'd be able to do. Credit where credit is due.

But ... he inherited the most expensively assembled squad in England and the world. Simple as that. So, he inherited some top top players. Simple as that.

He's done well, but people are just glossing over the level of player he already had at his disposal. You can talk about ho wmuch this or that player played, it doesn't matter. He's been able to pick from a really REALLY expensive roster plus add to it without losing any top players.

It is what it is and you shouldn't take me bringing this up as a pot shot at him. He's done really well. No one can deny that. The way he delat with Ronaldo was materful and the making of him and you imo.

But, we can't forget what he walked into. Some top top players.

Ha. I haven't seen you for ages now I see why! I blocked you!

Honest question.

Why does a United supporter actively look to speak about Liverpool much? Even trying to pass themselves off as a Liverpool supporter?

You're one piece of work my Turkish friend. Haha.

Ultimate trolling which I give you massive credit for

why you block me, so sad
just coz I don’t agree with you that Nunez is a world superstar doesn’t mean I’m not a Liverpool man

and why talk shit all the time? why state a team is the most expensively assembled in the world when even your average joe would know psg or a Barca would be far ahead without even looking
if your going to talk shit atleast make it half believable lol
xox

Mate. One last reply. I promise.

Why block you?

It was the day when you slipped and talked about United as "we". Another Liverpool poster pointed it out to me, and the game was up.

Always assumed you were just a troll, but that confirmed it.

So I blocked and ignored.

As I said. Fair play to you that you convinced so many you are a Liverpool supporter, but there are a few cluey ones that have seen through it mate.

Hence why the blocking. Ultimate troll mate and very impressive.

well that's cause we promoted players from our youth system and saved us a fair chunk of money and ended up buying players in positions we needed which is working now

Got no idea why you've been tagged into it mate. Who knows?

All I know is that you and @billy beane are United supporters so I shouldn't talk to you ;)

Looking forward to playing you guys soon, as I imagine you are with us. We're there for the picking in all honesty!

Well, tbh, I thought that was coming a while ago but you've been pulling out results. Fair play to you tbh. I didn't expect you to continue on with this form.

Can you last? Why not? I didn't think it'd be possible to this point, who knows? Been one crazy season
