Teaching him early......

Lovely pictures mate.. Have you told him that's all the hair he is going to get yet??? I suppose it can wait a bit longer, putting him in that kit AND telling him about the lack of hairstyles available to him in the future would be beyond any level of cruelty I have known..

So... uh... October is going to be a new experience for me.

Can't wait to see him wearing a City kit in 13 years time. You'll have the perfect how it started, how it ended

A legend of Nürburgring and an extremely lovely human being. RIP... Such sad news. Hope they will rename a part of the circuit in her honour. Legends never die

There's too much baby making going on. Therefore, this topic is back. Please stick to good vibes and memes. No drama from all the new weirdos from that shitty other forum. No "mimimimi, I'm a depressed man" talk. Get your shit together. This is a topic of dreams and memes.

It's a common technique used by despots in order to distract from the government failures. The worse the quality of life for their own population, the more nationalist chest-beating, military parades and finger-pointing at other countries. Putin has done this for the better part of two decades now. He's using external conflicts in order to distract from his failed inner politics. While Russian soldiers are shooting down civilian air craft from foreign soil they are illegally annexing, Russian nationalist go mad "bc everyone is bullying to Russia" and turn to their "strong leader" Putin. Likewise, the average daily mail reader - who will most likely be poorer as a direct consequence of Brexit and may even have lost his job bc of it - will feel more relevant when he reads that his own country is increasing its military and sending threats, even though it doesn't improve his personal life one bit.

He said he just nipped out for a quick slash!

I don't understand some of these clubs... they win a title then have an implosion the next season and suddenly they start panic investing.. When clubs like Liverpool are suddenly throwing money at their problems willy nilly it makes it unfair on the rest of us who have to manage our finances fairly..

I used to like LeBron.

Right on mate, right fucking on!!!!!

No need for plagiarism John.

Just heard that Sabine Schmitz has passed away aged 51 from cancer... Shame.. used to love her appearances on Top Gear.. pretty fearless RIP

Spoken like a true red, my daughters know the score as well. My teenager once turned round and said it's not fair you expect me to not date City or Liverpool fans, I said life is not fair me dear and if you want your future boyfriend to be accepted in this house you will follow my rules.

The next Ruud van ..........with hair

Had a sloth in his pants

Remember this little thought when they are growing up and learning to understand and talk...DO NOT SWARE in front of them... When our son's Alexander was around 3 years old and sitting in the back of his car in his kid's car seat, our son braked hard as someone cut him up and he yelled out "YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD!!!!", a few seconds later a voice in the back seat yelled out the same He had to pull over and tell Alexander "You must not say bad words like daddy did then..."

To be fair Tarzan was pre cock shot photo's... He basically had it all on display so I'd imagine being able to speak human was an after thought for Jane.

I actually think Pogba is on an early career decline now mate. I was the same opinion as you for the last two years and I always believed you needed to get better players around him to take the weight of responsibility off him. I watched him for France and thought if we get creative players it will allow him to play his nice two touch football and be the steady world class player we have seen for France and Juve. Fernandes come's in and Pogba returns from injury and plays two games two touch (Burnley & Villa) and he looks outstanding. You think that's it, we've now got the Pogba we all wanted and then by the third game the ball hogging greedy enigma was back losing possession in the final third and costing us points.

To be fair I think we grew up in the era of blood and guts football where the players earned more than your average man but not enough to make them have control of a football club. So we expect more out of them than they are willing to give now, money is the route of evil really. The likes of Pogba and Martial know they are investments that United need to protect no matter what, we're a business at the end of the day and we can't afford to allow a man that could command a 60 million pound transfer fee to walk away for free. So basically he knows he's either getting his mega pay rise or he gets his transfer. Pogba's attitude is a disgrace though, honestly I hate the fact he plays for United. Sir Alex doesn't get most stuff wrong and he hate Riola and he didn't like what he heard from Pogba, a young man big enough and brave enough to tell the best manager of all time he was leaving because he wasn't getting enough game time at 19 years of age! he was always going to be trouble. Martial is a strange one, he certainly raised is performance levels to get his new contract and then strolls around the pitch with the attitude of a man who refuses to follow instructions. Having said that whenever we throw in a big performance and beat the likes City he's outstanding. Unfortunately, he just doesn't seem interested in the likes of Sheffield United away so what do you with him? I'd sell him myself but speaking to a fair few fans on the subject over the last year or so, most said they don't think their club would touch him with a barge pole because of his attitude to the game.

Won't be long before you are having these conversations mate.. Congratulations to both of you...

Yeah the toilet becomes a meditative space for most parents to get a mental break. Tho I do get the walk ins now from the kids around half the time. Will be tough on your Mrs this return to work period. Once mothers group starts it will probably help but the period before that can be quite isolating. Fingers crossed for her getting a really awesome group that gel and form lifelong connections. Benefits kids too as well as mums.

For the first part - it's really tough to say, imo. This season just really isn't much like an ordinary season (unless we count City running away with the league as the new ordinary of the league) - so many sides, not just us, suffering from injuries or looking really inconsistent. And I think that's a result of the condensed season because of the global pandemic. And I think United this season have at times looked the same as they did last season, and at other times, looked a much better team than I remember them being last year. So that's a bit of that inconsistency I was talking about. But as for whether Solksjaer is the right man for the job... I really don't know mate. I don't think he's terrible or woefully out of his depth - I also don't know if I think he's good enough tactically to take United around the corner and back to the glory days. I also don't know that he's not good enough tactically - he's still relatively "new" to being a manager, certainly at a club the size of United. And I do believe that experience as a manager is underrated to an extent - I don't think you can just give a manager who's had a decent start to their career a ton of cash to blow and expect them to do as well as someone that's had the experience building a successful team. Basically, I think he's probably not the right man for the job right now... but it's not beyond the realm of possibility that he grows into the job. And unlike a lot of fans of other big clubs, I think Manchester United - a club legend who, imo, has demonstrated he has improved on the job - are the kind of fans that can/will afford him some patience to grow on the job. As for what would make the season a success - finishing in the top 4 (obviously, the higher in the top 4 you finish, the more successful) and winning the FA Cup and/or Europa League. For me, personally, if I were a United fan... I'd want the club to be focused on finishing in 2nd place (or 1st if City somehow go on a horrific run), then winning the Europa League. Doing well in the Europa League I think would be a big step for the manager - it's just good practice for playing in the CL really.

You're welcome.

Thanks homies. We're not gonna find out if it's a boy or girl from the scans just going to leave it as a surprise. I've been kicked out of my office already too.

It's been a little profit today, nothing mad but three wins on Day 1 of Cheltenham. But it feels gutting in truth. That 6 Fold was so close to going big. 3 winners, 3 2nd places. Concertista lost by a nose, which should have been a win jacking the win up more, whilst the other two were close runners up. Gutting as that was as close as I've come to winning a big bet ever. Talking 3K and I've only ever won as high as £400+ on Footy before. Feels like catching a big fish only for it to snap off as you reel it in. But I'll take it. Try again tomorrow.

Yes. Would be a crime if United don't win the Europa this season and you would have now gone 4 years without a trophy. This is Manchester United. Not a work experience.

Spookily, without fail I've woken up between 6-30 and 7am in the morning as opposed to 8-9 since getting the vaccine. I'm not sure whether that is a symptom of a blood clot or that coronavirus is a hoax and the government have injected me with some chemicals to improve productivity.

You can tell it was a poor performance when even @The Liquidator doesn't give his full insight and analysis

Congratulations to you and your dog!

If any of you are concerned about my spate of posting recently its probably because I'm on the verge of joining this club.

They have just promoted within with the same people who have controlled United's disastrous transfer policy the last decade and have seemed to have split the DOF position into three. Football Director who oversees all operations as more of an operational strategy kind of boss Technical Director who looks at things from a football perspective Director of Negotiations who sits down with other teams' representatives Unfortunately they all report to Woodward who needed to be removed from football matters and told to concentrate on the financial side of the business. Its a disappointment with the top names that were being rumored for the DOf job. But I guess nobody wanted to play second fiddle to Woodward

You and everyone else must be utterly fucking shite then
