Let's All Laugh At Man Utd!

[davetuc]

I've got to say, I am just loving what's going on at Manure! Moyes is doing a great job and their aging, average squad is being found out. (£27.5m for Feillaini, anyone?) Over the years, I've grown to detest everything about that lot, from Old Red Nose, through Whiteside, McClair, Robson, Keane, the Nevilles, Scholes, Horseface, Ferdinand, Rooney and all the dodgy decisions that went their way. Although they are still getting 'celebrity' bias with referees ie Rooney's kick last week, the fear factor has disappeared and teams are going there and having a go. I'd just love it if they finish outside the top four and go into the Thursday Night Challenge, or even better, finish 6th or 7th with no Europe at all. Well, fingers crossed and here's hoping!

Dave, this is getting silly now. Angie stated that if English clubs didn't perform well in the Champions league, there was a danger that our entitlement could be reduced to three clubs. That is a factual statement. You believe, maybe rightly, that this would never happen, that is conjecture.

[davetuc]

Shall we all agree to end this now, as yes, it is getting silly and a bit boring to be honest. Kennedy was shot by Oswald acting alone, George Bush organised 9/11, Elvis is still alive, but Paul McCartney isn't, and UEFA, FIFA, and the IOC are all fair, law-abiding and by no means corrupt!

Still in denial then dave................tut.

[davetuc]

Oh I was hoping that was the end. Ok, craft, go on then. Denial of what, exactly?

[craft1948]

Of the facts as stated by Angie.........

[davetuc]

At no point did I deny the facts. The rules are in place, and I am fully aware of them, I just don't believe they will be adhered to. Can we leave it there, now?

[angie55]

Gromit, sipowicz, craft, saki - thanks for all the support. Guess we just leave davetuc in his fantasy world!

[davetuc]

That'll do for me!

[Saki]

Merry Christmas Angie!

[sir.prize]

Are we still laughing at Man Utd?

[angie55]

Saki - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too.

Davetuc - one other thing I've just noticed. In your comment of 23.58 yesterday, you said Arsenal had always finished 1st or 2nd in the group stages. What about 1998/99 when Arsenal finished 3rd behind Dinamo Kiev and Lens (no going into UEFA Cup or Europa League) and 1999/2000, again 3rd in the group behind Barcelona and Fiorentina, and lo and behold, Arsenal were then put in the UEFA Cup. Fact.

[davetuc]

Read the quote properly Angie and you'll see it says 'Arsenal have never played in the Europa Cup because we've always finished 1st or 2nd'. I was obviously only talking about the years when 3rd place meant a Europa Cup spot, because Gromit was banging on about it. Obviously, I know we have finished 3rd in the past, but that wasn't the argument. All this stream is now doing is reinforcing my opinion of how Manure fans can't take a joke, any form of criticism, and just look for tit for tat replies. As I said before, it's very reminiscent of 'my dad's bigger than your dad'. Seeing as the stream is full of proverbs, how about 'can't see the wood for the trees!'

[angie55]

Davetuc - you can't change your original quote to suit your argument. The original clearly has a full stop, therefore indicating 2 separate points. I fully realise you were replying to Gromit's points, but you clearly stated Arsenal had never finished 3rd. Oh and I'm not a Utd supporter.

[davetuc]

Jesus, people are pedantic on here! I've already said I know we have finished 3rd in the past. Shall I go see the headmaster for incorrect use of a full stop?

[davetuc]

And if you really want pedantry, can we now only answer in one sentence, otherwise, according to your logic, we are talking about two separate subjects.

[davetuc]

And just for now I'm having a rather large giggle at Chelsea! And before any Chavski fans start, I think you might win on Monday. But for now, ha ha!

[davetuc]

It just gets funnier and funnier!

[davetuc]

The silence from Manure fans is deafening! Where are you all? Has the Internet connection gone down in the West Country or what?
