I think the whole "not for sale" thing is just posturing. KD said that it took a lot of persuading to get SISU to put in the £8m to stop the club going into receivership. So we're supposed to believe that they were very close to letting it go into receivership, but wouldn't accept money for...

Love it!! Looks just like the one on my coffee mug - still going strong from a birthday present in 1972!

I think the phrase I'm looking for is "Oh bugger"!

We are told that SISU put £8m into the club last week. If they were to sell every single player who is contracted to us, do you really think it would raise that much? So for a "cut and run" policy, they'd have been better off walking away last week and letting the club go into administration...

Heard the United fans singing "where were you when you were sh1t" to the Chelsea fans last night. Wonder if they'd like to see my Sky Blue Magic video. It's got highlights from Cov at Old Trafford in the season that Man Utd were relegated. Oddly there are huge gaps in the Stretford End - mind...

Give him a chance - if he's in the US it's still early! Be interesting to see if he does reply though.....

I agree with Scam - almost more important than the formation itself was the fluidity of the way it was played. We've been used to a VERY rigid set up with players seemingly unable to drift away from their allotted few yards of turf. On Saturday, the movement was better than I can remember for...

Do you mean the first game in the all seater stadium, with Steve Whitton scoring for us (I think...). If so, Best and Charlton had been gone from United for about a decade by then. The big win against "that" United team was in about '68 when Chris Cattlin made his debut marking Best. I think...

No - the closest I've ever come to that is putting my head in my hands and muttering an expletive to myself. I've never tried valium. Maybe I'm just high on life..............:confused::confused:

The embargo was in place because we hadn't filed our accounts. My guess is that the auditors wouldn't sign the accounts, unqualified, without SISU's confirmation of further financial support. Given that SISU have now put in the extra £7m (or £8m, depending on which version you've heard) I'd...

To be honest, I thought we saw more technical nous in the way AT set the team up against Watford than we've seen for the last couple of years.

Don't want to get carried away too quickly but maybe there are other parallels. Whilst Cyrille was the big name player at the club, Don McKay had the team playing high balls to him, which was not his strength. George & John changed the style so that the ball was played to his feet and as a...

A fully fit MK with a full pre-season under his belt would be fantastic for next season. Unfortunately I expect that with our financial position he'll be off elsewhere - but we can hope! My dad is 80 in a couple of months and hasn't been to a game for months because of ill health. He's...

There were so many great games that season. You've picked out 2 of the best but there was also beating Liverpool with 10 men (well with Ray Graydon on the pitch but unable to move more than a yard or so), beating Chelsea 5-1, beating B'ham 4-0, Wolves 3-0 and the last game of the season when...

Watched them both in slow motion on the Offal. The first is a really bad decision. The keeper fumbles the ball and then falls into Juke who isn't moving. The second is harder to see, but using the pause button (not sad or anything....) he looks at least level. He's had a bit of bad luck...

Overall I'd agree with you that the crowd got behind the team pretty well yesterday. I see that you're in block 15 so maybe it doesn't happen so much there, but over in the Telegraph stand there are a number of loud voices (why do they always have the loudest voices???) who seem to be just...

Didn't mean to suggest that you'd said you'd booed him or that you would boo him. Your point seemed to be that Cov fans aren't allowed to be critical. My view is that we are pretty critical - though many would say with good reason! As you correctly state, I was saying that a positive...

Wasn't a dig at you. It pops up every now and again - just that I'm fairly sure that everyone has a pretty firm view where they stand on the issue by now.

On this point I agree with you 100%. Done to death, doesn't even come close!

GPE - I think you miss my point. I accept that Ann Lucas took a moral position. Your comment seemed to be saying that people who disgreed with her were ignoring the moral aspect because they were more interested in the footballing position. My point is that it is possible to take an...
