hey, i'm a lifelong fan of manchester united and i'd like to know what everyone thinks of Glazer, this seasons performance and anything in general about man u.

Ps does anyone know a good region for man utd supporters to join, thanks :)

I don't like ManUre and honestly couldn't give a monkey's arse about Glazer unless all of a sudden it starts to affect Blackpool fc

From an objective point of view, i cannot see Glazer as being a good thing. He is saddling the club with debts, enormous ones and i am pretty sure his NFL ways of doing things will not work in England (being an NFL nut myself). I hope this is not the case but i cannot see it being a good thing for the club. As for Man U's performance? Arsenal were extremelyy fortunate to win the FA Cup Final.

Message from MG for you:

Dear Soccer fans,

As you all know, I've been looking to buy the United's of Manchester for a
little while now. I've also heard that some of you may not be too happy
bout me using, sorry, buying the club in order to reach new heights and
also, that I may not be a fan. Well fear not, as I'm writing this personal
letter to let you know that I'm a genuine fan of you blue devils. I began
rooting for the United's back in 1992 when our little Malcolm JR was
practising those Soccer home runs out the yard. I loved the way you turned
defence into offence, and the way that Bobby Shearer used to top half it
into the goal bag. Oh man, that play was hot. My son tells me that you
even out-zoned your City rivals Southampton in the 4th quarter of the FA
World series.

As for your current team, that Rude guy is awesome!!!! I see a profitable
future at the United, with the young talent of Cristiano Rooney (man, that
guy can dance!) and Peter Shilton giving us hope in defeating the evil
Russian tyranny which assaults the freedom of our beloved Soccer. With the
marketing potential of those Neville brothers and that Pearce dude leading
the team, we can all look to achieving our beliefs of a better future.
Especially when I add Alexei Lalas and Cobi Jones to the starting 15.

Now to you, the fans. I've been to see the United's play once before, and
the respect you pay your team in silently admiring the play out on the
pitch was overwhelming. Because of this, I've just purchased a new £45
million mansion in the Manchester to be close to you guys. And more good
news is I'm planning to add an extra 10,000 seats through corporate boxes
so more genuine blue devils can experience the play. What's with the prawn
sandwiches I had to eat when I was there? Well, rest assured, it'll be
super size prawn baguettes when I take charge. I can't wait to come over
to the Manchester isles, as I love the > country, especially the beaches
and the hot chicks. I hope you can all see my vision of this future, with
new shirt sponsors (Dunkin Donuts) and new team name (The Manchester
Gloom) I'm sure things are looking bright.

*Further good news for you guys is that I've just agreed a partnership
deal with McDonalds, who will help in promoting the Manchester brand. This
will involve renaming the stadium to 'McTrafford' as well as an exciting
launch of Manchester Gloom plastic fan toys in every happy meal. Cristiano
Rooney will be the face of this campaign and during this, he will be
marketed globally as Roonald McDonald. TOUCHDOWN! Take care dudes.

M Glazer

liverpool is the best AC Malia lost in shoot outs

Didn't Liverpool get like 5th in their league? They got lucky.

I think Man U are in for a difficult few years. A lot will depend on who or what is available to them through their youth system, as there will be no money available to replace players lost to either retirement (Keane for example soon) or to transfers out.
Additionally they will have to deal, sometime soon, with replacing Alex Ferguson (Again Keane is the name I have heard being bandied around for this) which will not be easy.

Then they have to live with looking at the heels of Arsenal and Chelsea for a while and accept that they are no longer one of the elite eight or so teams in Europe.

My opinion on this last are that these elite teams are: AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Man U join Liverpool, Lyon, PSV etc in the second tier for now. These things change slowly over time, and they will rise back to the top, but not for a decade or so.
