Don't be silly. There is an awful lot of banter on here and a lot of people have built relationships where they can rip the piss out of each other with no offence. But then you know that as you have been on here a long time in another guise haven't you? Your posts are just personal insults of Augie.

I have never posted on here before. None of my posts involve actual insults other than the time I called Augie a *word censored* but that was banter and we all laughed till the cows came home.

Please help me out here. You must have looked at the forum before you joined, so you must have known how it works on here. You joined 3 weeks ago, as you say you have never posted here before. In that time the majority of your posts (atm 62) have been having a pop at a member of 8 years standing with more than 15k posts or whinging that the mods are biased or some such.

Why do it to yourself? As far as I know Augie doesn't go on any other forum and I am sure that most other forums are modded in a very different way. Wouldn't you be happier somewhere else rather than torturing your self here? Just asking?

I know some posters have cautioned against gloating too soon, but the more I think about it the more I think things will get worse before they get better.
Ferdinand and Evra won't make next season, other than Janusaz(?) I'm not aware of any good young players coming through, RvP will be 31 and his body won't get anymore reliable, their midfield is mediocre etc etc.
That is going to take a lot of money and some very good decisions to even keep them where they are now.
Oh Happy Days.

I usually disagree when it's regarding Arsenal, but if United don't make it into the CL, then they are truly fucked.
Van Persie will leave, Rooney will throw his toys out of the pram and will piss off somewhere else, which will leave them with a shite squad with NO world class players, and they will likely be able to sign no one at all no matter how much money they have at their disposal.
They will then end up with another manager who will do an equally shit job and we won't see anything of note from them for a while.

Chins up guys, the future of them twats may be shite :barscarf:

The resources they have they won't be down for long. Fingers crossed they won't get CL this year and Rooney and van Judas will then piss off. However, this will free up about £450k/w on their previous wage budget and you can bet that instead of tightening the belts to make the books balance for next season that they will go out and spend big to ensure that they're only missing out for the one year.

They wouldn't be dining at the top table when it comes to signings but then even Citeh and Chavs are lagging behind Bayern, Barcelona and Madrid and vying with PSG. van Judas who else have they signed in the past 8 years or so that wouldn't have considered going there if they didn't have CL football? There are still plenty of players that would go there that would be more than good enough to propel them back into at least comfortable CL qualification the following season especially without the distraction and fatigue of CL football which is often overlooked (does anybody think Liverpool's squad which is threadbare on quality would be where they are if they added 6-8 CL games to their schedule before Christmas?).

Enjoy it while it lasts, I certainly will.

RvP and the GrannyShagger leaving would, as you say, free up a lot of wages, but they will have to spend at least the same amount to get two replacements of similar quality and they'd still be left with massive holes in the squad and without CL football to attract top players (plus the sight of rats deserting the ship) they'll have to compensate with high wages.
I know I'm a bad person, but I am delighting in their current predicament.

As much as I despise utd, if it comes down to a choice between them and the victims for a top 4 spot, then I hope utd catch them, I would love to see those gloating mousers have shut up come May.
