All I am going to say is that if United sign or attempt to secure the services of Joey Barton I will personally be both e-mailing and writing a letter to the club to show my disgust at the fact that we would be signing a hooligan and a criminal.

Who in their right mind puts a cigarette out in someones eye, or moons a set of fans when they walk off the pitch.

I hope fellow utd fans are in agreement with me and will proceed with similar actions.

Thanks for the welcome Ed
Now I hear a lot about Cleverley. I saw him last season for Wigan - looked ok - nothing special. Reminds me of when I was a young lad in the 60's - 1964 I think it was ; people raving about some reserve we had called Anderson. I went to see him play - on the other wing was another lad making his debut. First half, Anderson was good - the other guy useless. The second half (God only knows what Sir Matt said to him) the other guy was brilliant His name . . .George Best If only . . . . . {Ed002's Note - I remember 1964 well but not George Best until a few years later I am afraid.}

I can't believe we lost f***ing 8-2 to marseille That was so s**t, getting nervous about the start of the season. We need to up our game.

BREAKING NEWS

First time poster to this banter page, but I have come across some very good news for all Manchester United fans, I am quite an accomplished horse whisperer and while having a whisper in the ear of What a Friend he pointed out to me someone who was privy to all comings and goings in United's transfer activity, that somebody is Bobo the whiskey
weevil who lives is Sir Alex's nose, he burrowed in there about 12 years ago, right about the time Fergie's nose started to swell and turn red, What a Friend being the great friend that he is set up a meeting with Bobo for me and told me that for a drop of Glenfiddich he will tell you anything you want to know, luckily for me horses and weevils communicate in a very similar manner so talking to Bobo was not a problem, for one shot of whiskey he told me all sorts of secrets about Sir Alex's life but most importantly he told me that Wesley Sneijder will not be signing and instead United will turn their attention to the homeless bloke who lives in Saldord Central Station, with Bebe going out on loan Fergie feels he needs balance in the dressing room, we all know that Bebe wasn't signed for his ball skills but rather to make Wayne Rooney feel good about himself this very important task now goes to Homeless Pete who will sign by Friday on a 3 year deal worth an estimated 10 square meals a small shed and a Big Issue bought by every member of staff per week, you heard it here first, friend O'Weevils.

How can anybody want joey barton at this club, the guy is lucky to even still be a footballer after some of the things he has done. How can one minute people on this site complain about us not signing an overpriced, overpaid player and then the next want joey barton on a free. whats he gonna provide us with a calming and well mannered attitude in the dressing room and in the street, i dont think so. and what did he really do last season, run down the wing and cross the ball in the box, which was pretty effective the first half of the season but then carroll left for a bargain to liverpool, if thats what we want we might as well persuade Becks to come back for a season. rather than signing an average player, why not fast track some of our quality youth i am more than happy with cleverly and with us having the fa youth cup champions, i would rather have winners in the squad than a very lucky loser.

Looking forward to the game, chance to see some young one's play again.

Sydney!

Lets talk about those chaps who have cut our ticket allocation in half as they are scared about the noise we will make and the piss taking over 19 titles. They have come up with some pathetic excuse about us standing to restrict us. If you just thought it was Blaire Maine and LFC who were blobs now you know it's the whole club. RAINFISHTROMBONE

'Whistler'

Keane would have went into the tackle with the full intention on injuring him, but not ending his career.

Sydney!

Probably the most stupid comment ever posted on here. So you believe that Keane, in a split second on the pitch, had the ability to pre-determin whether a tackle was going to injure a player, or end his career? Don't be an idiot.

_____________De Gea

Rafael_____Ferdi____Vidic_____Evra

________Sneijder___Fletcher

_Valencia______Rooney_______Nani

____________Hernandez


Wouldn't be a bad team now would it? I'd have to agree with what Jono said a few weeks ago. I think this is how Sneijder would be deployed if he were to sign. On paper, the midfield seems a little open but we have to remember that throughout a game, Rooney continuously drops deep sometimes even in behind the midfield. And let's hope Fletcher makes a swift recovery as he'd be a perfect partner for Sneijder in midfield.

"If we get Barton they will be getting my season ticket back"

With daft comments like that, it would probably be for the best if you did hand them back to be fair Let me guess does your ticket say "season ticket holder since 2010" on it?"""
dear unnamed sir
that would be a win-win situation all around
we gain a good experienced EPL player
we hopefully sell a player who would struggle in the championship let alone the EPL
and we lose a fair weather fan
thats great

ps... mr rainfishtrombone, its not about the money, he is simply better than most of the alternatives other than anderson and fletcher.
and he is better than carrick in his own "role"...

sneijder, , i hope he signs hes the missin link to wat we need dis year, , mayb joey barton wouldnt be the worse signin jus putting it out there

Wesley Sneijder will join United. £35 million is the fee. £190,000 a week is the wages.

02 Aug 2011 09:12:21
Is the Man Utd Vs Marseille friendly match which was suppose to be on 2nd Aug'11 is still on. Can't see it on Man Utd's official website.

Sammy_THE RED DEVIL {Ed002's Note - It is what is listed as a Manchester United XI and is scheduled to be played this eveneing in Monaco.}

Sneijder, come on geezer. What a signing this will be and what a message he will send. He will galvanisee our team and all around him will raise their game now especially Anderson playing along side him.

And seriously someone just needs to launch one on Balotelli. What a brat. Do one you T*s*e*. Think he just sums up the calibre of players THEY have bought.

02 Aug 2011 01:28:55
You put this on the LFC site Sydney, and you are absolutley on the money mate (for once).

"Aquilani is clearly trying harder to get himself a move to Italy. Trying to get one of the Italian teams to pay his wages. On the other hand if he was that desperate to leave why not take a salary cut?"

Sydney!
------------------------------------------
If he is that desperate to leave then why not take a pay cut? All footballers are greedy f*cking mercenaries, with no loyalities to any club. Aquaman is making me hate him now, because if he was so desperate to leave, then why not just f*ck off? It's not as if he needs the money.

Great post Sydney and somthing i've been thinking about, for 18 months.
