You'll find this is a pattern with me and people I don't like.

Should have been a member here while Fergie was still at United and Suarez wasn't getting kicked all over the place for real.

[thetime]

Yep, that's what I'm expecting to happen.

That's a completely differ3ent thing to what you were meaning btw.

Be afraid, be very very afraid.

Is Rooney being a prat bigger than the club getting back to the top 4 next season? I highly doubt it. If it weren't for him, United's position would be much worse.

[philipsteak]

Newcastle would probably be OK if they could just get rid of their ridiculous owner...

Those sorts of stories creep up now and again. Celtic and Snoop Dogg was one. Even Greenock Morton apparently had Gordon Ramsay interested.

It's bullshit.

[eFestivals]

Why be afraid? He shouldn't be at the club now never mind the summer.

exactly. Until that new contract is actually signed, I'm of the view that he's stalling and off in the summer ... and RVP is back to Arsenal, apparently.

So who would you have left? Just Wee Davie.

Arsenal fans are going to be slightly confused about how to react if RVP goes back!

Nah, him going to Utd has given him the perfect one-liner to have Arsenal fans fawning again....

"The little boy in me said to choose Man Utd, but the man in me knows to come home to Arsenal."

That'll do it, no problem.

Like most fans they are predictable and be up his ass.

Same with if Rooney does sign, united fans will be like he loves united and all that rubbish. The same with Liverpool fans burning Suarez tshirts in the summer and up his arse when he signed new contract.

Same with Rooney first time he wanted out, same with gerrard when he was going to go to Chelsea...the list goes on.

Spot on.

It'll be a bit different around Rooney and RVP tho if they both go in the summer, cos it'll be about rats deserting a sinking ship rather than about money or bettering their careers, etc.

I reckon that'll give some scope for a whole new level of vitriol.

[DomDom1984]

Arsenal fans would be 100% correct to welcome back RVP with open arms. He's a great player.

I think rooney will stay at man utd. There doesn't seem much interest in him abroad and I think man u would let his contract run down before selling him to chelsea. I see him going back to everton one day, probably a few years down the line.

[pink_triangle]

If Utd won every game they've got left - and they won't, cos no team does that sort of thing - then they still wouldn't make 4th as long as Liverpool keep up their season's average form.

[pink_triangle]

Gerrard gave 45 mins more than Hamman. Biscan didn't play (although Traore must be the worst player in history to have a CL winner's medal).

Benni Mcarthy?? If we are looking at non playing substitutes there will be players we probably haven't heard of in games such as Monaco V Porto.

[DomDom1984]

Good try but no.

[thetime]

The guy is a shit SPL player. Believe me, he wins.

It wasn't a penalty yesterday but disagree with most of what pelligrini said. There's no reason a Swedish ref can't do a big game. Howard Webb referees in "the best league in the world" and I thought he lost control in the world cup final.

Small margins in these big games, city didn't score with 11 on the pitch and got punished.

[strummer77]

Liverpool never did it. They did the double once in '86. Pretty sure it never has been done tbh.
