No, just no. Geordies belong as far away from the TV as possible, disgusting people, just like sunderlandians...

Their passion to their club is brilliant though.

 

[Enron]

Lots of fans are passionate about their clubs.

Geordies are a bunch of tools.

Their passion to their club is brilliant though.

Passion and Stupidty are often confused, they see it as a divine right to be a top4 team in miserable little piss hole of a city.

 

[JBF]

Ok fine, they wear Black&White.

 

[Salvatore]

Copycats deserve to burn in Serie C.

Pffft Notts County ripoffs.

 

[JBF]

Them too, their fans even mention Juve in their chants.

 

[Mohad]

Fail!

 

[bianconero]

As Juventus twiddle their thumbs, teams like Mamchester United are already strenghtening yheir squad for the future: they have signed the very promising Javier Hernandez.

Fergie said though that they wouldn't be making many moves in the market. That is exactly what their ageing squad needs. Hernandez won't be enough.

"Typical Scot!"

 

[JuveJay]

Are you saying he is frugal or using the world famous 'Fergie minds games'? Lying, as mere mortals call it?

Actually he said this last summer as well and they 'only' bought Valencia (£16m), Owen (free), Obertan (£3m) and Mame Diouf (£2m) after selling Ronaldo for £80m. Times are a bit harder at Utd than usual, they have even been laying minor stadium and office staff off

I read Hernandez might cost as much as £12m in the end.

Ageing?

They only have three old players, and it is rare for more than one of them to start a game.

I think Neville's performance against Chelsea may signal the end of him in big games.

True he was dire. Still he managed not to get himself sent off unlike that "Typical Brazilien!"

Well it was noted that in the Chelsea game their average age was over 31, obviously VDS needs to be taken into context at 37, but still. This was old enough for the English press to pick up on, with their 'pedestrian' jibes normally reserved for Serie A sides umpkin:

They do need to replace Neville and Scholes though, this is a fact. Giggs is hanging in there. The main problem is that the guys replacing them are either injured (Hargreaves) or not cutting in (Anderson, Nani, Foster, Tosic, Berbatov all with varying underachievement). Valencia has been a good buy, Rooney carries the team at times and they have 3/4 of a strong defence. Fletcher also plays above his technical level, especially in the big games. They need more quality in my opinion, especially in midfield, at right back and another striker.

Anyway a little more with a doomsday article: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/manchester_united/article7092580.ece

 

[Red]

I don't disagree than Man Utd need work done on their squad, but I think the problem is a lack of quality, rather than the age of the squad.

 

[JuveJay]

Perhaps not overall age, but problems such as ours, with a handful

 

[bianconero]

With 3 Top signings Man Utd will be a major force again:
With 3 Top signings Juventus would be still struggling.
