This one doesn't, but then again I don't rate Wilshere that highly either, always likely to pick up bookings, a bit like Paul Scholes but he is miles away from Scholes in class.

They will be right behind and above us.

Is all Upper East now season tickets?

Thats the only way i can see this deal happening. Why would Chelsea help relieve any pressure on United even if they don't see them as a rival any more, which would be stupid after just half a season. There must be some sort of agreement for Rooney if the deal happens.

Not all of it, near our seats most of the peeps are there every week but you do see other seats occupied by different people all the time, plus there must be an area right at the top/back with a block of non season ticket seats. They are often filled with kids groups from various clubs and schools at cup games and less attractive home games.

The ones that chant Cleverleys better than Wilshere in the stadium, OT and Emirates.

The other possibility is that Mourinho is stringing United along hoping they don't improve their squad and knowing that if United failed to sign Mata now, after all these 'almost done' stories, that it will help increasing the pressure on Moyes after the Fabregas fiasco in the Summer. After all if it did fail it would suggest nativity and inexperience on the part of Moyes and United....

So you take every single chant you hear as gospel, a good dose of irony never hurt anyone.

Also, i've never heard that song? How does it go? I only know one song about Cleverley and it has no mention of Jack Wilshere in it.

Ask your fellow Utd fans, those that are left that is. It was chanted a few seasons ago.

First I've heard of this.

**Damien** · 22-01-2014, 15:23

The only song, directed at Arsenal, I've heard United sing regularly is the one about Wenger.

none of them have left AFAIK, complained, become frustrated at times, but they are still the best supported club in the country. How many years of underachievement it will take to dent that I'm not sure but you can bet their home gate won't drop to the levels that it did at certain clubs when they dropped down the leagues.

I think you'll find his role is headless chicken, it's a relatively new concept like false number nine etc

He can harm them next season, unless it's going to be a loan deal, which isn't, if Jose said straight swap for Rooney, utd should accept imo
