I meant compared to their revenue.

If you or I buy a Ferrari (yeah right) and Warren Buffet buys the same model Ferrari. We SPENT BIG, but Mr. Buffet just got rid of the loose change in his pocket.

The squad Sir Alex put out for tonight's Carling Cup match was, on average, 3.4 years older than the one that started Sunday's Premier League triumph over Chelsea.

Beating Leeds just never gets old. I kind of miss them in the Premiership to be honest. The rivalry with them is second only to the pikeys.

finally saw the damned united this week. dirty dirty leeds

id bet money we get a big 4 away in the next round

2004: Yes, you read right. Owen Hargreaves has scored - it was a belter from outside the area. By the way, this is the first time the midfielder has played more than 10 minutes of first-team football in three years.

OUCH! That stings a bit, I must admit…

i know it's only september, but man to toon looked good today

only september
;D

I was gutted United only drew…..then I got over myself and realized I was being a spoiled brat and happy United got a point at Stoke. Not many teams will manage that this year.

A little concerned at the length of the line outside the Old Trafford medical room though.

I didn't get to see any games this weekend so don't know who played well and who got lucky etc. (my mate, a fellow United fan, did tell me United were a bit lucky apart from a couple of stonewall penalty calls that weren't given our way)

The Britannia has really grown into being an extremely difficult place to play.  Should have had a penalty on the Hernandez injury play, but yes, 8 top flight players might miss the Champions League game this week.  That's a bit worrisome.  All in all, Stoke deserved at least a point, but it would have been interesting to see if Cheech had played more than 4 minutes or if Rooney had played at all.

I'm coming around on De Gea and I think Phil Jones has been the best signing of the off season.  Strong defense, great going forward.  Once the twins and Vidic are healthy, it will very interesting to see him in the midfield.

Oh, and I miss Cleverly.

The penalty given to Villa yesterday was a joke.  QPR deserved 3 points…

Okay…so I just saw the United v Stoke game last night.

A pk and red card to Woodgate in the first 5 minutes and a couple of yellows thrown in by minute 11. What were Stoke thinking? If you can't beat them break their legs?

The handball shout in the second half was indeed a penalty if following the laws of the game (deliberate or arm not in a natural position) his arm was not in a natural position. I can see a ref not giving that call though.

All that being said, United had no shape and completely out of sync, which I think Stoke should get credit for. As for Crouch, he commits a foul every single time he goes in for a challenge but I think the officials cut him some slack because he's so lanky and awkward.

I also saw that bogus pk to Villa, I bet that ref is working league two next week. None of the fans or players called for a pk.

Oh dear…….Crisis time at OT. Two draws in a row, and two draws in the champs lge.

At least we aren't man shitty were players refuse to come off the bench!!!  ;D

So what do you think about your man Tevez now then?

Great, but he'll never play in a Champions League game, let alone a Final so long as he's at City.  

So that makes me right again.  A perfect score of 100% in my predictions of Carlos Tevez at Man City.

Chelski aren't far behind because Lampard is now belly-aching because his arse is getting numb from sitting on the bench.

Oh…dont' you love the drama as long as it's not within your own team?

;D

Damn.
