Ed's

Can you tell me when your ebargo is likley to pass?

I hate the fact the WUM's have driven you guys away. Although I may not post often (in fact may have been a good 6 months since my last) I read the site everyday.

Your input has always been welcome and often requested by many on here.

Since you stopped replying and providing info the page has definately gone downhill. Posts are few and far between and I find myself double checking the last updated time stamp to confirm i'm not losing the plot.



On to a rumour I have been fed.

Moyes is to announce at least 1 signing before the start of the tour. It's expected to be Thiago but again this is only hear say that I have been fed from a mate who's brother works at carrington.

Fergie maybe gone but we are just as bloody tight lipped as always. ; - ) {Ed007's Note - I had a few days off last week and now Ed004 is away on holiday. Ed002 is very, very busy elsewhere. I'm sure she will be back as soon as time allows. Just don't be moaning at me because I don't know have the same knowledge as Ed002.
You never know, it might even encourage people to use the improved search function rather than bombard us Eds with the same question over and over again.
As you guys all know we rarely make any money from theses sites (that is 100% truthful, remember we had PayPal buttons because things were that bad financially) and are lucky to cover the running costs most months. We do these sites for our love of the game and our individual clubs and will always do our utmost to keep them free to use.
We don't hit-whore, making up crazy stories just to attract traffic, if we have any info we are quite happy to share it but if it isn't what you want to hear or you don't agree with an Eds opinion there is no need to abuse us, the level of abuse aimed at Ed002 was nothing short of vile and disgusting, I actually wanted to get the police involved.
You get a good debate on here and some decent banter so let's not waste it. My pet hate is anonymous posts that start "I think...." if you don't have a name nobody cares what you think, most anonymous posts I just delete anyway, 99% of them are garbage.
So the next person that mentions an Eds 'strike' or embargo is going to get a swift cyber-boot to the Haw-Maws. Lets get back to the football......

So - does that mean you have embargoed the embargo? Lol

Ed007. How do I use the search function? It doen't seem to be at the top of the page anymore.

Thanks in advance. {Ed007's Note - Sorry Thomas, there is an improved search engine been developed, it just hasn't been implemented on all the sites yet. It will be a.s.a.p.}

Ed007 - that is the most sensible thing I think i've ever seen on here.

I've no idea who was abusing Ed002 but if it really was that bad then they have all my support for doing what they did, along with all the other Ed's

Perhaps, as others suggest, making login's a requirement will help a little with a 3-strikes rule for those that get out of line

All of the regulars here, and some of us (Myself included) that are more casual users do appreciate the hard work you all put in.

Now, as you said. back to the football people! {Ed007's Note - Thanks.}

I have found myself hooked on this site since midway through last season. It stands out from all the other sites simply for the Ed's. The replies are always thought out and bring us optimistic fans back to reality checks and point out key points. I check the site Several times a day and have really been missing the Ed input. So nice to see an Ed :) Like Ed007 points out. they don't sell us stories just so we come on. they infact look to rubbish stupid claims. Much Love

Ed007, Thanks for the clarification, no one should suffer abuse for contributing in any way to this site. I do think a published Code of Behaviour would help and any inappropriate posts would not be published. Serial offenders should be automatically banned. I'm sure the vast majority would support such a move. {Ed007's Note - That's maybe something we could look at.}

I along with most others respect and appreciate the time and effort the eds all go to to make this site what it is. Yes, I was unhappy that you took the stance you have but I hold my hands up and apologise. I was maybe too naive as to the extent of the severity. I wish you all well and again must say thank you to all the effort you do to for this site. It just goes to show that without all you eds the site would be nothing! :-)

Adz {Ed007's Note - Cheers Adz.}

To the eds I thank you for the time you take to do this site. I love reading from the regulars and the eds, I don't have any inside info but I love checking this site, easy best MU site around! So I would love for there to be a login or something to keep the united fans to this page only, any crap then Peeps are gone. A big thank you again and I'm sure the regulars feel the same way.

The best thing is, is that it shows how much we take the eds work for granted. It's like its routine and expected. Now we all can see what they all bring to the site. Everyone contributes and it's admirable. The Eds bring that littl bit more though and I'm sure when all are back then they will all be respected that litte bit more!

Ed007, I'd be happy to help with a draft code of conduct if that would help. {Ed007's Note - I wrote a code of conduct for new Eds, we could probably trim that down if we wanted to, thanks for the offer.}

12.) 09 Jul 2013
I have been absolutely addicted to this site since last summer. The Eds do an amazing job and any abuse given is totally wrong. This site wouldn't be half as good if you guys weren't here to answer questions and offer opinion. Bring in a login only application for posters, and then ban posters who break the rules/are abusive ect. Would solve a lot of this. Thanks Eds for all the work you put in!

007 - that response has made me decide to properly register on the site. I don't post all that often but I read the site every day and have done for 3 or 4 years now. The "strike" has made the site a lot less enjoyable so I've registered as a small gesture of my appreciation for ALL you eds. Keep up the brilliant work.

Fair play bond. well said mate.
People either want to be on here or they dont. if you don't then go away and don't ruin it for those of us who love the page.

Keep up the good work mate. your replies are legendary. and that's praise indeed from a sarcastic Irish person
