You said:
"So you'd prefer a league where one team dominate?"
You're asking me questions that don't even fit into the discussion so I didn't bother going through the rest of it.
Did I say I would prefer a league where one team dominates?
Nope.
I said neither Chelsea or Man City are at that level, maybe I should have added "despite spending hundreds of millions in only a few years". Changing the conversation to try to make me look stupid is all very well but I won't discuss anything with anyone doing that, no point.0 -

How does me saying the two richest clubs not attaining the same level of domination as another club did in the past equate to me "wanting" one team to dominate? I can't understand how one thing would link in with the other.
My point is Manchester United spending big worked better for them than it has done for Chelsea or Man City - but that says more about the clubs manager, spirit and their desire to win because they are wearing that badge.
Why do Liverpool usually end up getting near or in the FA Cup final even when they are 12th in the league? Because it is Liverpool.0 -

And yet you do seem to have entered into a discussion. As for changing a conversation to make you look stupid, I really didn't. You do a good enough job of that elsewhere on here.0 -

Its been a good game up to now Man United and Burnley but we're playing nothing like we can. :roll:
Fellaini on the bench?! That makes sense. :?0 -

Its been an odd game, its watchable, but we're crap I can't deny it.
Its another one where the score won't reflect the gameplay.
One thing I will say though is Burnley have been tripping us up a lot. It would be nice to see Di Maria do something except some dirty Burnley player legs him up. Thats one problem with having a £60M player, everyone already knows what he can do.0 -
Status quo maintained for now. Welcome Diego for the next one

Looks like Louis Long Ball is cracking. Love the reaction of the United press officer.

We'll beat Chelski I reckon. If Newcastle can, there's no reason we can't.
I wonder how many fans Chelsea actually had in 2002 and how many have they got now?
Abromovich dropped a bollock buying them I think, why Chelsea of all clubs?!
If I was him I would have bought Liverpool, they were the obvious choice. They were even the #1 in the country at that time for league wins.
He is a tourist that just wants to bum around in London. No wonder we have a North/South divide, sods like him!0 -

On match of the day:
"Has he been hit by a missile?"
I think if a player got hit by a missile, there would be little pieces of flesh strewn all over the pitch and the stadium would be immediately evacuated.
A missile! Who is doing this to the language?
It is some sort of extreme left wing talk, or something. Listen to George Carlin, he deals with this stuff the way it should be dealt with and won't stand for it. All the stupid sayings that don't fit or make sense.
Someone at the footie stadium probably really did say:
"When a projectile is thrown now, we have to call it a missile"
They need a slap, pure and simple.0 -

Its all a conspiracy to introduce elements of Militarism into all aspects of our culture so we become dependent on Government.0 -

"mis·sile (mĭs′əl, -īl′)
n.
1. An object or weapon that is fired, thrown, dropped, or otherwise projected at a target; a projectile.
2. A guided missile.
3. A ballistic missile."
Seems like they are using the definition correctlywww.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0 -
I have never met a manyoo supporter that is actually from Manchester.
..and no thanks manc33 if your offering.

Two of the three definitions relate to exploding type missiles. :P
What about "No real venom on the strike" lol. I didn't know snakes could play football. :roll:
Sometimes they can be funny. "He's a harrier, he's a terrier" tsk, one is a jet plane, one is a dog.0 -
Anyhow, as we have no separate thread for the Cup competitions, I'm quite looking forward to seeing the Mighty 'Boro take on the second best team in London (according to current league table rankings). Nout to lose and loads of ammunition for here if we win :P"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

I reckon it will be the end of Boro's cup run. They can't do the same again... but I still hope they can. :twisted:
Chances I reckon are about 30% Boro 70% Arsenal. If it was away at Boro I would say about 50/50. You better hope it doesn't go to a replay.0
