I'm looking forward to the live chat tomorrow another victory and another set of helpful results elsewhere.
The live chat is fast becoming the highlight of the footballing week 😀.
23 Jan 2016 02:35:14
Where does the live chat take place, I haven't been on here in a few weeks, so am puzzled by this lol.
{Ed007's Note - www.manchesterunitedrumours.co.uk/live Kick-off is an hour before match K.O.

It's great fun jase and I would get involved if I was you. I won't be able to today as I am at the match but it is a great way for people to interact.
Bear in mind if we are winning the posts are good fun and even Jaime will say we are doing ok, as soon as we aren't everyone turns on the team and starts saying how dreadful we are, amazing what one goal can do.

Be prepared to be asked continuously for predictions. It us great fun though although there are always a few knees jerking.
23 Jan 2016 10:02:46
Not everyone gds. The usual negative nellies go into overdrive.
The one prediction that you can count on weekly is that after 6 minutes Jamie will be slating someone that can be anyone from lvg to Woodward to any or all the players or red the red to a ball boy
Its good craic, don't take the comments to seriously and be prepared for a bit of Mickey taking all round.
There are a coupe of easy targets for the banter that bite all the time but give as good as they get.
I swear even beast cracks a smile when He is on and Mrs beast thinks its good therapy for him,
We have established ajh has a crush on blind and that stevienoucamp can't type with a few pints on him 😉.
Ctr is quick with the one liners,
Come join the party.
{Ed001's Note - if CTR is being quick, he must have someone else doing the thinking and the typing for him. Maybe the little one is able to use his lappy now?}

First time out I thought it was a different type of live chat. Very frustrating and confusing, but in the end I just knuckled down and powered through.
23 Jan 2016 11:07:15
ouch ed, what's that pain i feel? Oh that's my feelings hurting :)
{Ed001's Note - I don't believe that, you clearly have no feelings as the old saying tells us 'no sense, no feelings'.}
23 Jan 2016 11:13:32
Talking of Beast, and Fresh whilst I'm at it, have they been barred Ed? I saw the thread that got a bit feisty but unless they were sending in stuff we didn't see it all seemed harmless. Have they been exiled?
{Ed001's Note - not that I am aware of mate.}
23 Jan 2016 11:34:46
What's your prediction for today Tony?
23 Jan 2016 11:37:27
My o my ed your in top form today, you must be getting over last weeks robbery.
Never afraid to give your opinion can I ask if you think that we will see any new players come to us in this window? I saw on the Madrid page that ed002 said that he expects them to buy and sell a couple of players next week.
Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - I think there is almost certainly going to be someone arrive, Woodward is under pressure to produce.}
23 Jan 2016 11:37:53
My predictions are that Ken will be giddy, Jaimie will be negative, Danny will be funny, Blind will be rugged, and we'll win well.
23 Jan 2016 11:52:36
Thanks ed, any nuggets of info or potential names? Or is it a case of casting a wide nets and hoping to catch 1 of a few targets?
{Ed001's Note - I haven't heard any names that are happening, it does seem to be a scattergun approach to see who is available. Imbula of Porto is one that I was told is very possible but I would think that would be a last minute appease the fans signing if it did happen as he is a midfielder I believe.}
23 Jan 2016 11:55:40
Tony I'm loading up on the skittles and red bull already mate😃😃😃.
23 Jan 2016 12:11:57
Thanks Ed.
{Ed001's Note - you are welcome mate.}
23 Jan 2016 13:17:00
@Ed001
Imbula does seem interesting. I have watched him a few times and he looks very similar to what Kevin Strootman used to be before his injury. And we all know about Van Gaal's interest in Strootman. The Saul Niguez interest also pointed towards us looking for that kind of player.
I personally think we need to sell Mata and Fellaini and get Gundogan and a winger who has good pace. I would ideally prefer to bring in two midfielders. We are very light in that area.
23 Jan 2016 13:54:04
its great fun and helps kill the first 60 to 75 minutes whilst we wait for our first shot on goal.
Watching liverpool, Norwich have opened them up with ease, makes you wonder why we struggled to get a meaningful opportunity against them last week. Hail LVG the great tactician lol.

Porto are a frequent in my evening acca's and so have watched them numerous times this season. Imbula is a powerhouse when it comes to receiving the ball and running through another teams midfield, reminding me of Yaya Toure when he used to do that for City. He'll give his team mate's that boost of energy when he does this, making them think "Sh*t we're through" from nothing and will make them power on too.
However, the thing which annoys me is that he seems to miss blatant passes which would make everything so much easier, and undoubtedly create more chances for his team. He does all the hard work, going through a teams midfield 2/ 3 and then he'll try and go past another one. I've been watching, thinking to myself "Alright, well done, now play it on" but he just keeps going and going, leading to attacks breaking down.
He has potential to be a great addition, if he learns when to release the ball and keep the attack flowing. One of the first things I remember being taught as a kid was to let the ball do the hard work, it's faster than you are. Imbula seems to have missed that training session, maybe he was watching Bill and Ben that day, or Jacques and Jules in Paris.
