I know the PL gets a load of stick but I've been thinking, the PL era is the most interesting/exciting period in our history. 4 play off finals, winning 2. 3 league cup finals, winning 2 and we've won league 1, the championship and the premier league. 

 

Modern football has been pretty good to us.

 

It has been a superb few years the best in the clubs history for sure

We wore them out.

Liverpool could exactly finish in the top 4 this season.. Klopp has done a good job. 

Spuds beat Inter 6-1 too! 

And an 8-0 win for The Arse!...

Gary Neville has joined Sky again, happy about that, he was the best pundit on Sky, not too hard when Carragher and Souness are the other choices though I guess.

 

AND!

 

Wait for it....

That's a shocker

So, the one player we all knew would join Manchester United has now made one step closer in joining Manchester United - Paul Pogba expected to have a medical at Old Trafford anytime soon:

Will be good to see pogba in the prem

[Bazly]

The pre season run has been a bit pants with three losses and 11 goals conceded in 4 games. Compared to the other top end clubs from last season its been by some way the poorest performances running to the starting week. We will know how the season is likely to pan out by the end of October when we will have played all the 'top' teams bar one.

 

I feel we are heading into the new season a bit like Hodgson headed off to the Euros, unsure of who our best team is. Simpson looks poor. King has not played well. Albrighton looks like he has been on the pies and his crosses are always the lobbed in kind. Drinky's normally laser passes are being over hit. Mahrez doesn't seem to be focussed. Morgan looks tired. Its got to give the manager a lot of sleepless with so many players off the pace one week away from the action.

 

Looking good are Fuchs, Grey, Drinkwater, Musa, Okazaki and Vardy. So half a team.

Pogba finally rocked up in Manchester according to Score centre. Can't wait to see how much they've chucked at him

£89M seemingly!!!... 

Jokers. 

[Tuna]

How much of that 89 mil goes to the agent?  That's the real disgrace.

Will the pundits mention how much the Morono United have cost every game?

[Les-TA-Jon]

Wasn't it something like £25m going to the agent?

 

Pogba could be great - but once you're spend £75m+ it needs to be on a player that'll score 30+ goals a season for a good few years surely?

Gabriel & Mertersacker out for the whole season. Arsenal only have one two CB'S available, Holding & Koscielny who's still on holiday

Kosc back in training now. They will rush him back for our game. 

[Phube]

According to the BT commentators Man U have now spent £1/2 Billion since Fergie left! 

 

[AKCJ]

Juve have rinsed United for Pogba.

 

90m for a midfielder that doesn't score or create goals

 

Absolute joke.

I know you're exaggerating but I'll respond anyway . 

 

He's a hit and miss player. Because he's such a showboat-esque player, nullify him and it's emphasised more in a match. 

 

He does have the potential to pluck out something special every now and then. But that's the problem, it's too infrequent.

 

I wouldn't even pay half of what he's being bought for. It's a stupid amount.

[filbertstreet]

have hull got enough players yet?

I just think that you need to score or assist 40/50 goals a season to be a midfielder worth that amount.

 

Mkhitarian is a great signing for them. He scored or assisted 55 goals last season for Dortmund. He's just not so expensive because he's not a "big name".

They're raiding the Hull General Hospital maternity unit as we speak... 

[StanSP]

I agree. He's not done enough to warrant that transfer fee. He's gonna have to help Utd win quite a few trophies to be worthwhile.

In terms of silverware, we're the sixth-most successful English club of the Premier League era. And that's before you even consider that we've won the Championship, League 1 and 2 Play-Off finals...

 

Love that stat. We've won 3 major trophies, and we've only been in the top division 10 years (3 of those resulted in relegation). More than Spurs or Everton, who have been ever-presents.
