Disgusted. Absolutely outraged that Arsenal managed to cheat their way to a point. Wish I could swear.

And what about Evertons offside for their second goal?.

Don't care. If it meant Arsenal losing then he could have fouled the goalie for all I care.

Did arsenal not breastfeed you as a child? Deprive you of your favourite toy?

Such bile normally has a reason :)

Nobody ever needs a reason to strongly dislike Arsenal :D

Anyway it seems like United might have succeeded with Di Maria, if it's true then I'm still pretty shocked.

Not sure it is shocking, just a happenstance of the right circumstances.

Utd desperate to get a marque signing, depleted squad
Di Maria wants away, no one else willing to pay the price, or not at this late point in transfer window.

A good player, though one might say they are trying to buy the league...the irony could not be missed :D

I'm surprised because United aren't as attractive right now as say 5 or 10 years ago and as a team in transition with a new (albeit experienced and successful) manager some players may not want to take what could be considered such a gamble. ADM may not be at Bale/Ronaldo level but he's certainly the kind of quality that United seem to be missing out on. I'm not complaining though.

It isn't what I consider to be trying to 'buy the league', that's more like when a team that was for a long time mid-table at best suddenly gets a sugar daddy coming in and uses his money for big-name players rather than cash earned through previous success on the field and through commercial activities.

I don't think anyone expects United to win the league this year, I certainly don't. Top 4 would suit me as long as it's used as a foundation for the future and not an indication of the 'new normal'.

Rumours abound that another 3 or 4 other players will be coming in in the last week of the transfer window as LVG tries to turn the great ship around.

l thought this was quite funny.:D

Chelsea were mid table at best before Roman came along, then they started winning the PL, CL etc.

Before the Sheik bought in, Man City would have been lucky to finish in the top half.

Man United have been winning the league for more than 20 years.

By that logic any team that spends money on a player is "buying the league".

Ahhh...penny drops...good.

Rather questionable to say anyone buys the league...though not surprised man utd supporters say that...they would cry about anything.
