Fair Play

Don't be pathetic, do you think all those players were given to man u or that they play for love of the game.

They are trying to buy the title just as they try to buy it every year, and just as every other club tries to buy success every year.

Anybody who thinks otherwise, or who comes out with the 'well we earned our money' bu!l$*/t argument , is just a totally wet behind the ears naive plank.

Yes because to earn your money just wouldn't do. So best to write it off with name calling. That must mean you're right

Sir Robert Paisley - Free Beer. (U3823): "They are trying to buy the title just as they try to buy it every year, and just as every other club tries to buy success every year.

It is significant that the only thin you can think of to back up your claim is abuse for anyone who disagrees!
That in itself should be enough for a rational observer to realise your claim is entirely without merit or substance.
And it doesn't take a genius why a Liverpool supporter should now take this stance (after years of abusing Chelsea for "buying" success) - it is clearly because Liverpool under King Kong Kenny are themselves trying to buy their way back into contention with absurd sums splashed on the likes of Henderson and Carroll.

The difference between reinvesting money in the team earned through that team's football success and indiscriminately spending money given by a benefactor in order to avoid the necessity of playing your way to the top is self-evident, as is the difference in a club who has so much more money than any other team that there are no financial constraints at all.

It is also evident from this weekend that United evolve teams by grooming or buying talented youngsters with potential, whereas City just pay top money and top wages to buy up ready-made talent.

I think a club that creates stars rather than buy them (and horribly distort the market into the bargain) is better all round for football.

Ok then let's look at these 'stars' that man u have 'created'.


Of the scorers of the 8 goals today..



rooney 3 goals.......................approx 25.6m from everton
young 2 goals........................approx 17m from villa
nani 1 goal...........................approx 22.5m from sporting cp
sung 1 goal...........................approx 4m from psv


so only wellbeck who scored because of the comical arsenal defensive mix-up has been 'created'

Now try taking off your tinted specs and grow up and face reality.

Nani about 17m but never mind. There's no doubt we have to pay a premium for players because teams know we have the money. The point being that it's money we've earned. We've built that up as a club through our success.

The next time Liverpool do that we'll talk other wise you carry on enjoying your recent windfall but don't lump us in with the way you are doing business these days. Finished 7th two seasons in a row? Almost went into administration? Now buying two bit tat for £35m. Face reality, it's not like you've earned it.

Having started with that sentence, why not deliver what you promised, rather then select (thus limit) your choice of player from those who do not fit that description. It's rather like trying to claim that United did not field a youthful team by pointing to Giggs as an example.
Clearly you are the one who has difficulty facing reality.
Did you really believe you could pass off such an absurd example as rational argument, or are you just a little simple?
