Congratulation to Manchester United on winning the EPL for a record 19th times which will stand for many many years to come.
I agree on the possibilty of ending up with no trophy in 5 days if the players and manager dun get kicked in the arse.
Latest transfer news:
In: Phil Jones from Blackburn and Ashley Young from Villa.
David De Gea from Atletico Madrid reported to be having his medical.
Rumoured to come in: Wesley Snejlder or Luka Modric
Retired: Edwin VDS, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville.
Should retire: Owen Hargreaves, Ryan Giggs (he won't feature much next season anyway) :o
Rumoured to go out: Darren Gibson, Wes Brown, Dimitar Berbatov
Come back from loan: Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverly, Frederico Macheda
Young is a great signing. Jones was expensive, but he's a good young English player, which is important.

signing Jones means Ferdinand days are numbered.
keep berba...and hopefully they can sign Snejlder. Man U once rule EPL with their midfielders which unfortunately, had dwindled past few seasons.
Barca outplayed them totally with a strong midfield and good passing.
THE MAIL ON SUNDAY
Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted he was prepared to break a club record to take Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United.
Phil Jones signing is to provide cover for Ferdinand and Vidic. I suspect the latter may see fewer games next season. Vidic has played more games in the past two seasons than some of the defenders combined. I suspect SAF is also concerned with Johnny Evans's performance last season which is nothing short of a disaster. With Brown leaving, it makes sense to acquire another defender. I'd be interested to know SAF's midfield plans. Btw, wat happened to the interest in Rodwell? It's gone cold and is the deal dead?
Good buy. Afterall his other fellow club top striker Antinio Di Natale is too old an investment.
I have my reservations about Sami Nasri...he is not that playmaker mould. Buy Modric or Sneijder
Why is it this season, everyone going for British / UK based players? Bcos of UEFA ruling coming?
Contrary to Blackburn, they wanna buy but no one wants to be associated with the chicken farmers LOL
Nasri will be a very interesting player at the top of a 3 man central midfield. He can dribble and he can play the short killer pass. Chances at that position in Arsenal restricted because of Fabregas and now Wilshere. But his vision not as good as those 2.
Isn't the ruling already in place? 4 homegrown and 8 british grown?
Fergie bought Jones and Young because of the players leaving: Neville, Scholes, and possibly O'Shea, Gibson, Brown, Giggs, etc to follow.
When the reporter asked the Indian woman from Venky running Blackburn why she appointed reserve team coach Steve Keen to replace Sam Allardyce, she pointed to her forehead and said "Because he can think." Hahahahaha
3 man central midfield? Dun tell me Fergie gonna abandon wingers and adapt Barca way of playing...
