I very much agree with you, Alouion, and I can't talk be bothered to talk football with any non-Lancashire ManU fan.
But I still hate Wo1ve5 and Vile with a passion!

Meanwhile back in the hills of Austria
Britt Assombalonga's future at Middlesbrough is in doubt following a training ground row with manager Tony Pulis, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the situation.
Assombalonga and Pulis are understood to have clashed on Monday during training at Boro's pre-season training camp in Austria.
The pair exchanged words after a disagreement on the training pitch and the relationship between both men is understood to be strained.
The incident is sure to lead to speculation over Assombalonga's long-term future at Middlesbrough just 12 months after arriving from Nottingham Forest in a club record deal.
Assombalonga scored 15 goals in 34 starts for Middlesbrough last season as they just missed out promotion, losing in the play-off semi-finals to Aston Villa.

I know nothing about Kodija so couldn't honestly comment. However, I think Chester is a pretty decent footballer and I don't think it matters that he left us for the Vile, so, in principle, I'd say yes to him returning. Let's be honest, whilst his time with us was not great, I think most of that can be put down to Pulis playing him out of position. The fact that he played last season in the centre of defence and, by all accounts, was extremely good, perhaps indicates that Pulis is, after all, an arse!
RE: S O T V - WBA-Josh - 10-07-2018
The tactical genius that is Tony Pulis. Sign a centre back to play at right back instead of signing an actual quality right back to play at right back. Then proceed to drop centre back when he doesn’t perform at right back and then as the season progresses, put said centre back in at left back.
Lovely job.
RE: S O T V - 4evaabaggie - 10-07-2018
Josh, isn't that normal football tactics, buy players, stick them somewhere their not comfortable, slag them off, sell them. Don't all great managers do that??????
No, thought.not ..... how Pulis's kept his job for so long and then, low and behold, got another job, I'll never know ... dinosaur.

Villa saved by BILLIONAIRE
Fun over
Two billionaires have made a 'significant investment' into Villa. Sawiris is worth $6.8billion, according to Forbes. Edens is reported to have sold a firm he co-founded, Fortress Investment Group, for $3.3billion earlier this year. #avfc
