Do we think Boro will be another free fall team? I like Southgate and would like to see him back up but I'm not sure it's a goer.

I'm interested to see what sort of side Man City are able to put out on the first day of the season now it looks like they'll get Santa Cruz. Anyone willing to speculate about a starting line-up? It could look pretty formidable if they get some of their targets but can Hughes manage them and are they being priced out of the market with people asking ridiculous money a la Chelsea because clubs know they've got money?

It's a statement of fact AG. Nothing more, nothing less. Am I supposed to be frightened? The Republic of Cyprus which was invaded by Turkey (with the support of the US) in 1973 after Archbishop Makarios III faffed around over Enosis for too long and Greek military junta decided to try and force the issue is geographically only 37% Turkish Cypriot the majority of the rest being Greek Cypriot. The population breaks down to around 77% Greek, 18% Turkish and 5% 'other'.

Mostly Greek Cypriots though.

That was one example Matt and actually one of the least offensive ones. It's the constant references to snarling/cheating/ugly/etc etc players (all, it seems, at Man Utd) that I find offensive and tiring. I guess I am either going to have to stop looking or just ignore you and the Arsenal fan (AG doesn't ever have anything interesting to say anyway so that's not too much of a hardship) all together, it seems a shame we can't have a decent discussion without it descending into biff.

I assume you mean me Anna? So much for not getting involved. It's amazing how you turn a blind eye to your fellow Scouser.

Matt, it seems to me that more often than not you and the Arsenal bloke come on here just to have a jibe. I give you a taste of your own medicine and you get all worthy. Posting photo shopped pictures of Wayne Rooney was a response to which "go about Liverpool" exactly? That along with most of the poisonous, childish, playground bile that you spout was just a cheap shot. As for you almost never having a weak argument, I nearly spat my coffee out, get over yourself. And if you look at the population and geographical distribution of the island of Cyprus (actually a republic in it's own right) it's predominantly Greek, so my statement is factually correct.

I'm from Rugby AG not Coventry. You're from some Greek island and support a London team, right?

Ah, the same old nonsensical gibberish. I find myself, not for the first time, wondering what you are on about Matt. You have moments of such interesting lucidity and then you slip into the mire of jibes and childish name calling. I blame the Stella.

If betting is a mug's game (and I am one of those mugs) then golf betting is the epitome. Good luck Mick.

Haha, the old tag team back together. Been down the pub together have we boys? I shouldn't worry too much about us Matt. We've lost better and still kept on winning. You want to worry about Alonso and Mascherano.

I can't remember who you are? Remind me again? Spurs fan, right? You don't wind me up AG, I feel sorry for you, that's your role in my life.

Nah, We've had them in the side before AG, did you not notice? As I said new blood, maybe RvP or someone like that, a player who's been average at their current club and could be improved at ours.

No more Carlos at OT. It's a shame but time to ring the changes with the (now) ?100M or so to spend. I'm sure the Scousers will make more of it than it deserves but he is easily replaceable and a bit more youth would be a great way to go. We also need another Argie otherwise we'll have no reason to chant "Argentina"! :))

Was she daughter-in-law or just girlfriend of son? That is until "the incident".....

Not another Italian! ;-)

Yes, there's an oft missed big clock on the building. I used to work with Frances. Believe you me you wouldn't mess.

Galileo figaro...

I noticed, in another attempt to ostracise me, you held the end of season drinks while I was on holiday! ;) I also don't think that calling a player a 'snarling, egotistical bastard' then going on to suggest that the reason he was like that was because he played for my club is 'gentle banter'. I'd hate to read what you'd say if you weren't being gentle.

COME ON Keef. If I came on here and used EVERY SINGLE post as a dig at Liverpool I'd be scolded, chastised and told that I wasn't welcome, because it's United it's fair game. I have tried to ignore Matt and AG and they just keep baiting and baiting. I've tried entering into conversations with them and they still don't want to act like adults. I just want to have a balanced discussion about football and not be told how ugly/nasty/lucky/cheating/rich/drunk etc etc my team and manager are. I really, truely, give up. I hope you all have a great season, except Liverpool, who I hope get relegated. The thread is yours Matt, you can spout your drivel as much as you want. Adios Amigos!

Keef mentioned a niggle, not me. I want to talk about football in a sensible and adult fashion.

Me too Anna. Boring isn't it.

Of course. Ronaldo was the way he was because he was playing at United and anyone there is a wanker and that rubbed off. Here we go again. I think I might go back on holiday. I might as well add that Rooney is shite and will never be as good as Torres before you say it yourself.
