"Is this our best chance in years for a win at Old Trafford?"

I wouldn't say so - our best chance was when we were 2-0 up!

indeed. In each of our last two visits if I am not mistaken

To hell with the chicken; what about Adam and Eve. We are told that Eve was fashioned from Adam's rib so she was a clone ie 46xy just like Adam and not female 46xx. If the y was lost in transfer she would be female but 46xo and infertile so where did the kids come from? We are told that Cain killed...

I think it was a mutant egg laid by a Tyrannosaurus Rex or some other dinosaur. Mum got the shock of her life when a chicken popped out

Don't know but it was far too much

Which came first? The moaner or the moaner about the moaners? It's a chicken and egg situation. :lol: :lol: :lol: Must be the moaner. The moaner about the moaner had nothing to moan about until the moaner started moaning I struggle with the chicken/egg thing because one of them must have come first...

I'm not sure the 'negative posters' were being that negative at all. If someone wants to point out that for a few games we have been sh!te that is their right to do so. I could have been accused of being one of those but my criticism has been, for the most part, constructive and I have never called...

I'm not talking about where we are in the league. I'm talking about the mostly tedious hoofball on offer(I'll except yesterday) here. I'm talking about spunking money on Gibson, Vydra et al and then leaving the poor sods to rot. I'm talking about our inability to sign a decent midfielder or two who...

Mine tomorrow, but only averaging a little under a post a day.

Humbling to be in the shadow of greatness Ian

Looks a very fitting place for remembering ex clarets

I noticed yesterday the mock up subs bench. Is that where Gibson and Vydra practice all their moves?

I saw some stunning sunset scenes driving south back to Manchester after the game

Been a liability for sometime now. Today proved how far off the pace he is.

The captaincy looks to seriously affect him (last season as well as this).

Time to give Gibson a run out? Certainly couldnt do any worse than Mee today.

Caught a few then

Down_Rover

Too late. Consumed!

I notice you concentrate on Gibson failing to mention Vydra.

Should get plenty of opportunity now that Barnes is ruled out for several weeks.

Does that mean you are limiting your criticism to the purchase of Vydra?

Got a voucher for 25p off Twix at Co-op

It gets better. There are on offer at two for a pound, so will bag a pair for 75p

Nobody?

Nobody else had deemed them potential PL managers ahead of Burnley. And, as mentioned above Owen Coyle

I am simply trying to make the point that relatively untried managers are a better pond to fish in than one full of experienced has been s

Yes they had. Dyche has just guided a cash strapped side to 11th in the league we were in.
Howe was extremely highly rated and linked with a number of jobs because of the work he’d done at Bournemouth.

But nobody in the PL had heard of them. Talk about argument for arguments sake

Down_Rover

No one had heard of Howe or Dyche? howe was doing a great job at Bournemouth and was widely regarded as one of the best up and coming managers and Sean Dyche had done a very good (albeit short -term) job with a Watford team who were one of the favourites to go down before he took over. The only way...

Many variables against the punter, declaration like that being one of them. Why on earth would you declare at 499? It is bizzare and unfair on the thousands of punters worldwide.

No reason we can't start thinking near the 500 mark.

Stokes had a let off, and he's punished them big time, these 2 look fantastic cant wait to settle down to watch after lunch,

Miles off. What do you know? Root only declared to prove you wrong

I would rather go for a manager like Duff who is untried at this level, and therefore has unmeasurable potential, than a failed manager with Premier League experience. WE know how good the latter is whereas Duff has yet to reach his ceiling. He knows the club too. No-one had heard of Dyche and few h...

George Boyd and Jack Cork run further than anyone else but never got the media attention this numpty gets.

I think his agent and Wolves got together so they could have someone's trousers down

If I was doing the transfers Champ manager style. Brownhill and Eliasson for Vydra and 5 million. Arrons at Norwich for Gibson and 6 million. Jarrod Bowen for 22 million Hart and Lennon wages off the books. If anyone give a few million for either Hendrick or Brady cash in. Why on earth has SD thoug...

Nepotism and Dyche... For the wages of Drinkwater and Crouch space-wasters they could have bought Danny Ings.

Can you please prove that theory

Looks like Dyche was right not to play him

At least he was nowhere to be seen for the third so only cost Villa two

no, I expect him to say nothing about it whatsoever, he's clearly having another dig at the board.

You could have guessed right but I don’t think it is clear at all, you are just thinking too hard

He simply does not want to advertise how much is available

Down_Rover

Maybe all the idiots who do nothing but whinge about Dyche could form some sort of protest group. All meet up next home game and let him and the board know how angry you all are. Might make more a difference than non stop moaning on here. Accept some might not want to do it during the game (some wo...

Why on earth should he tell anyone whether he has money to spend or how much?

I never tell the car salesman how much I have to spend?

Down_Rover

Oh I see, were you expecting him the tell the media, the world and his wife that he has shed loads to spend?

That’s understandable but it is not nonsense to suggest BPF should play. He is the long term future

Not necessary. Please respect other posters on here

Perhaps you meant to say that people that disagree with you are wrong

It seems lots will always look for faults with Hart. There is no need to go looking for his faults, he puts then out in the open The second goal was a joke. He was nowhere near the edge of his box as implied above. He was swatting at the ball as I do at wasps on the dinner table No spacial awarenes...

One of those assists was a clearance that landed luckily at Barnes' feet.

Nothing against Pieters but Taylor is right to be first choice.

Bit harsh re the assist but ‘nothing against Pieters’ is as good as it gets for Erik

Comical for their second goal, like piggy in the middle

Surely this thread is completely redundant after the latest comments from Dyche and Garlick. Why? I thought the comments said unlikely not definitely no Let me ask a question.
