Was the ball going in the net, is that why?

he can't give a pen for that

If you're dumb enough to put your hands up like that yes you can

and a red that's madness

 

[nemtizz]

HAHAHAHA

 

[cm1179]

justice

 

[Rids]

LOL. Fluffed it.

 

[Mr-White]

Wow what a bad penalty by Noble

MW

 

[spudbynight]

Man Utd need to get Tony Pulis in to replace LVG. He knows how to stop teams losing.

lamela is something else with the ball on his boots

Aye, hopefully he comes good this year.

In terms of revenue, United are by far the wealthiest club in the country. They could absolutely spend £50m and £200k/week on 3 players.

Thats 50m times 3 mate

 

[Duff-Man]

Thats 50m times 3 mate

... yes?

The United board have said that Van Gaal "can break the world transfer record for the right player", and that £200m is available for transfers.

 

[Rids]

How are West Ham not ahead at this point?

 

[Jokester]

There was supposed to be £200m available to spend.

It will happen when the Blankety Blank Cheque Book and Pen hasn’t worked.

And how many times have utd said that or something similar in last few years then spent very little, every one says utd are wealthy they maybe but for all utd fans know the income they get is paying there debt which there is allot of, the players utd want may want cl which they don't have

 

[Andybtsn]

Don't know what Karanka's doing with that keeper. Very disappointing result, I expected Boro to win.

Yeah very poor from him, if we had tested him more we probably would have scored more.

 

[Martini1991]

Boro should have just stuck with Steele, or tried to go back in for Given.
Don't agree with getting rid of Butterfield either.

 

[Cosimo]

Well, that's one down. He needs another six at home if he's to beat Moyes' record

He's already got a record as it's the first time Manchester United have lost their opening home game since 1972.

 

[bloodline76]

Not a great start but not the end of the world. Those that still think a top four will be achievable might have a reality check.

Early days though but not an attractive position to be in for attracting top quality players. They are going to have to do a city and go after the Mercs who are attracted by money over instant success.

The question was whether or not United could afford to spend the money - not whether they can attract top talent at the moment. That's an entirely different kettle of fish.

As for "how many times", well that would be this season and last.
