so it is on TV then....just not the TV you got. Amazon won the bidding for package 4 games i believe, they are also showing two weekends worth of games ( so at least 20 matches ) over xmas its worth it for 7.99

I don't go to many aways nowadays (used to go to them all - except games in that London, I used to sell those tickets to someone on this forum) but I always go to Woodison so I'll be there tomorrow. I've actually been going there for longer than I've been going to Anfield because of a blues-mad uncle but I never got it and the sound and emotion of the red side won me over. Might be the last time I go there if they're down on the docks before we play them again.

My theory on the Manchester United transition...

Hugely successful clubs with big personalities at the helm really suffer when that personality steps down. Liverpool did; it took them decades after Shankly/Paisley and the Boot Room to realise that they had to look forwards, not backwards. Manchester United are the same. Hugely successful in the Ferguson era and, at least until two weeks ago, were looking backwards all the time. Appointing Ferguson players as manager. Resigning Ronaldo. Trying to recapture that elusive stardust. Liverpool did the same by appointing Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness etc

The only question for me is when will Manchester United leave the Ferguson era behind? For so long as he is there, on the Board, attending matches, offering "advice" they can't move forward. If I was the owner, I'd get him off the Board and, politely, suggest he has nothing to do with the running o the club going forward. I don't think they have achieved this realisation yet

Understood. But then he came back again and did nowt

Liverpool were in the wilderness until they finally got to the point where they could look forwards because they have managed to leave everything else behind. Manchester United aren't there yet. They aren't even close.

he came back to steady the ship for FSG after a disastrous appointment of Roy Hodgson by hicks and Gillette and the new owners wanted to get the fans back on board.........he did win the coca cola/worthington/league cup whatever it was called back then........

but his roll was to get the fans back after nearly going backrupt and bringing back a club legend that the fans could get behind....and it worked.

UTD wont get that cause the glaziers are still there and they are using the club legends. i.e fergie, ole, neville, rio to keep feeding their pot with money........ronaldo was bought for shirt sales and thats it, cause they werent winning the league with him in the team, in fact i would say he has caused them to go backwards and hinder the younger players in the team

Jose Mourhino and Louis van Gaal were definitely NOT ex players/ staff.
They have left the Ferguson era behind to be taken over by an American money making dynasty. Woodward has last so long because he knows, as well as a lot of Utd fans, that all that maatters is money and profits. Their owners do not care one jot for their fans and trophies as long as they make a buck.

any chance we can get away from "whose the biggest club"

They both signed their best players from Boro in any event....

RIP Ray Kennedy. Truly one of the greatest players I've ever seen grace our pitch. Very sad as he suffered from Parkinson's disease which must have robbed him of the pleasures retirement would have brought.

Yes indeed. A wonderful player and servant of the club.
Yet another hero of mine has sadly passed
