Brief summary of where both United and LFC are today.

United have not had a good season, of that there is no doubt. However their resilience in the league has seen them come away with some of the most unlikeliest of points. ( Chelsea ?) Their knowledge of how to grind out results is the yardstick that every team in the Prem are trying to achieve.

Personally I dont think United have had a strong team for the past few seasons, however the achievements say something different. Clearly they need to build a new generation squad, which has already started.

You may end up with nowt this season, but Im sure you wont give up easily. Has this season been a success for you? ....not in terms of achievements yet, but Fergie is laying the foundations for a good team for the future, with some real talent coming through. I would say it has been a success in terms of rebuilding a good squad.

Now to LFC: Considering the problems that have bedevilled our famous club in the last few years, we are delighted with the progress made in the last 12 months. We are not good enough to win the league at the moment, however 2 or 3 top signings could change all that. ( we live in hope of course).

Under Kennys guidance, the team have played really attractive football at times and there have been glimpses of a potential title winning team, however our home form and lack of goals has put paid to that. We have stood up well against most of the top teams but, were still not quite there yet. Still we are at Wembley next week, in the last 8 of the FA Cup and in with a good chance of reaching 4th spot. Is this success ? No but the supporters are happy that Kenny can build a strong squad, allied to some real class......that could just bring us NUMBER 19 next year...........

My nurse says that I must stop typing now cos they are just about to bring the soup and chocolate biscuits. Ive tried dunking the biscuits but Oxtail Soup and Cadburys fingers dont go together well....trust me chaps

I take it you are not aware of the £200m+ debt your club is currently in? The difference is our debt is falling, whereas your debt is increasing.

It is obvious that SAF will want to go out on a bang, win the League and Champions League again are certainly high on his to do list before he retires and probably another FA Cup. He will also want to leave a strong set of players.

Today he has once again said that he has two or three years left in him, so on that basis, do you think we will see more spending as he will want to go out on a high? Whilst spending does not guarantee success, a player like Modric and a few other top players would make success easier to come by.

So my two questions are:

- With SAF going to retire soon, do you think more spending is likely to get the success he wants?

- Will we get a non-British manager for the first time? (I think Pep and Mourinho make the shortlist).

The Liverpool fans on here make me laugh. They go on like they have won the f.a cup already lol yh there in the final of the league cup but didn't Birmingham win that last year against arsenals under 19s? They say there having a better season? That shows the difference in ambition and class between the 2 clubs. Were having a bad season, yet could stil win the league. There having a great season yet ther battling for 7th place, battling to get into a competition they ridicule us for being in? Liverpool wil do well to get past Stoke n then they wud av to beat spurs or Chelsea so I wudnt go celebrating just yet! Also they ridicule us for goin on bout winning the charity shield, wot they need to realise is that u av to win 1 of the the 2 top competitions in the country to get into it so it can't b that bad!!

It's funny how the papers suggest we have £30m to spend this summer, I imagine that is based on the fact we made a pretax profit of £30m last year. Now the papers are going with Wenger having £55m to spend, that wouldn't be because they made a pretax profit of £56m would it? Damn you have to laugh at lazy journalism.
