Di Maria is a fantastic player, have we over paid? Yes absolutely probably by as much as £20m
Will he improve us? Yes absolutely

Someones getting hatefucked
You've really got 2 options mate.
a) If you (pl. ) want to talk about the PL, and our rivals in general, then threads like this permit you to do so. It's sometimes enlightening (if you want to be enlightened) and better improves your knowledge of the opposition, LFC's ability to handle them and how our players compare, and your ability to debate against them from a position based on fact not fiction or wishful thinking.
b) Don't enter the thread in the first place ! It's so damn obvious, the title tells you all you need to know so you can't enter by mistake. You don't want to talk about United or Chelsea or City ? Then don't go into threads that are set-up to discuss their players, team, manager or their threat to our CL place. The thread was set-up to debate just those aspects and yet it seems some people are coming in here just to bitch and vent, one has to ask WTF and why do you feel the need to do that when as a team we are well ahead of them at the moment ? All the thread does is take up one line on the forum page, just skip past it and save yourself the pain.
We are all in here because we love LFC (well most of us) but LFC doesn't exist in isolation and therefore all aspects of the PL/CL/FAC and all of our rivals that may/do impact on our club should be worthy of debate.
I think it's the level of discussion that I'm not enjoying Froggy. I've no problems discussing United, Chelsea etc. If we had a Chelsea or City thread (for example) we wouldn't be playing nice and talking in depth about their sponsorship deals, what's their best formation and all things nice like that. A Chelsea thread for example would only exist to poke fun at their plastic soulless fans and hapless owner/'fan' in the stand. If we get a level headed Chelsea fan on the boards do we open a thread for them to enlighten us as it "improves your knowledge of the opposition, LFC's ability to handle them and how our players compare, and your ability to debate against them from a position based on fact not fiction or wishful thinking".
That last bit (using your own words against you) wasn't me being a cunt by the way. I'm just venting, but if other's have no problem with a United thread like this then fire away. I'll probably continue to read it like, something to do isn't it!!

Fact is (for me at least) beating United and being able to enjoy their current situation was a major part of the delight of last season (and hopefully this). I grew up with us sweeping all before us, both domestically and in Europe, so the last 20 years have, with the odd beautiful exception here and there, been a nightmare.
Now the situation, for as long as it remains, is reversed and this thread will enable me to revel in it, as well as satisfying my urge to know what is happening with our bitterest rivals and discuss PL football in general. I'm sure if something horrendous comes to pass then this thread will die a quick death 😉
*Looks between legs* I'm definitely the Dad (checks again - looking good lad).
Got something you want to tell us Dave ?
I get Dave's point, but I love hearing from fans of other teams, so this thread and others like it don't bother me.
I get bored to pure cunt reading the same bullshit from most of you lot, and there's only so many times I can go back and re-read my own posts, so it's at least refreshing to have an alternative discussion once in a while.

I agree completely.
Fresh from motivating Kagawa by telling the press that the player didn't wish to conform to his system, Van Gaal tries his hand to gee up Marcos Rojo, by giving him some sound advice:
Having a thread like this is a good idea as it keeps all comments re: United in one place and those who don't like it just don't need to enter. Simple. Should also prevent comments about them entering other threads. win win as moaners moan less and those who like to discuss football wider than United can do so more.
I'm thinking he's angsty because he's broke after splurging in Vegas.
I thought it might be a good idea to have one on each of the top teams - but United as our bitterest rival and probable rival with Arsenal for 2 of the other CL spots (City & Chelsea being shoe-ins) was first up. I did offer to change it to an all encompassing 'Rivals' (no designated team) however the mods felt it was OK to leave it as it is.
I haven't gone to Vegas yet. Next month.
Shakes head in disbelief and amazement
I'll continue to read the thread mate, it's new posts at the end of the day isn't it? It was just the content that had me pissing and moaning initially. At one stage I think there was a discussion on whether United should sell Welbeck or not. Fuck Welbeck like, ha. What next, should Cleverly go out on loan or remain a part of the first team squad? It's okay to have a thread on united to keep on top of things but do we really need to discuss them as if they were our own team? For what, to facilitate a united fan? (no offence to the poster, he seems sound like).
A Chelsea thread or conversation wouldn't exist like the united one. We'd all just rag on Chelsea and call them out for the plastic pricks they are. The united one really only exists as a platform for the united fan to patronise us with his balanced and realistic views. 😉 Maybe if we create a Chelsea thread, we can tag team the shit of Chelsea and co with our new united fan?
As I said, I'll continue to join in with the thread when things prop up that interest me. I'll drop the moaning as I'm only repeating myself.
