So you only have a problem with historical female defined roles and not male ones interestingly ironoic.. Anyways not the place for this...

Pogblah, Pogback, Pogbon, Pogboff

The male role here is a lot better paid, requires a lot more training and technical aptitude, and historically at least, is seen as a far more privileged position. I would imagine the vast majority of posters here are male so him picking a male as a pilot is to be expected. I have no problem with what he said, just pointed out that it was a bit sexist that he assigns the only two female posters here (that I'm aware of anyway) the task of serving snacks to the rest of us, who presumably are passengers, on this fictitious flight.

Is it not sexist if he doesnt assign them because they are female

Brinty, I'm not speaking for anyone in particular, and haven't talked to the two people in question, but I have been getting messages now saying that this sort of thing really needs to stop. I have got messages in the past for other posters about the fact the thread can, at times, head down quite a misogynistic path, and if I'm being honest, your posts are often the driving force. This sort of stuff can create a negative environment which drives people off.

At the very least, it's all extremely off topic. At worst, your posts mentioning Mars Bar and CookieDough are coming across as creepy and pervy, and possibly bordering on harassment. Cut it out.

This, really, is an extension of the "No scantly clad women" warnings; if you guys want to be like that, find another thread in another section to engage in it. But it can, at times, come across like a bunch of horny teenagers who don't know how to act in a place that sort of behavior isn't required or requested.

Now, can we move back on topic please (and as usual, please don't respond to this message on thread; PM are your friends).

Mourinho turning into fergie....

"Manchester United watched Renato many times and maybe I did it even more. In so much time at home, I watched many Benfica and Portuguese league games, I got to know the boy better with time."

I reckon if Jose was in charge, we would of gotten him but for me its not a big lost. I just dont rate his passing skills but that may come good in time

Is tomorrow considered a competitive game?

There's silverware at stake, even it's more suited to Arsenal's honors list than ours.

I think Jose's attitude to friendlies is the same as Zlatan's to trials.

Anyway, as regards the Arsenal jibe, who needs a league when you can get the cup and the bonus trophy anyway?

Can the current squad win the league without Pogba?

Can they? Yes. But different story actually doing it.

After last few seasons I'd just be delighted myself for us to get automatic qualification for champions league having a good competitive season and a good cup run, also playing some nice football would be a bonus :P

But obviously with the players added, Mourinho joining and if Pogba comes too the majority will be expecting us to win the league, and why shouldn't they.

PhlegmyMoses

Is Pogba really the difference between us expecting to win the league and us being happy for us to just challenge? I don't think he is the kind of player to have that much of an impact tbh. If we aren't expecting a win without him we shouldn't be expecting it with him imo

Pogba is the difference of us having a top 4 finish to winning the league imo.

He is class, a beast to dominate games and score and create goals

Well it can be attributed to people's opinions but personally with the squad of players and manager we have already, one most can agree should be up there in the top four challenging for the title, if we are to spend around £100 million pounds on bringing in another player I personally would be expecting us to be winning the league (or coming very close to) with that player playing a key part to the campaign.

23hrs 50 mins untill our first kinda competitive game

I think Arsenal's wikipedia page was hijacked a while back and it listed friendly tournament wins in their honours list. It was more extensive and historical than you'd think any casual prank could put together. That's where the 'jibe' came from.

I do get what you mean, but do also think he has improved on that aspect of his game considerably, year-on-year. Not saying he's got that Ronaldo type of psychotic drive to succeed and max out his potential (not a slight - I think even Ferguson said he never saw anyone like Ronaldo in that regard, and he was playing/managing at a high level for 50-odd years by the time he made that comment), but it definitely does appear to be there.

Pogba and Ravel Morrison are near-perfect examples of the difference hard work and dedication makes for stupendously talented youngsters. Morrison's reputation at a young age is about the only reason he is still at a top flight club, I'm guessing he'll be in tier 3 by the end of the decade. Meanwhile Pogba is already one of the biggest names in the game and may or may not be on the brink of becoming at least one of the 2-3 most expensive transfers ever.

That said, still not holding my breath on this transfer and I've managed to barely even get that excited by it; I've been let down by that carry on too often in recent years.

IamtheWalrus

Are my chances of Charity Shield tickets slim to none?

A week ago, surrounded by talk of an LA medical and contract signing, I suggested that Pogba was merely there for a holiday and to see a Ben Folds gig, the signing would come later. I was only slightly wrong, it was a holiday and a Drake gig in NYC.

There are tweets posted on Redcafe saying Pogba is in Manchester, will do medical over the weekend. Who knows if true or not but it would be nice to get this wrapped up.

Article says

Pogba has set foot in Manchester. In the late afternoon, the French midfielder has arrived in the English city in semi underground conditions: there are no photos at the time of his landing, but the news is confirmed. Tomorrow will support a medical with United, and in the coming days his transfer from Juventus to 110 million will be official.

The price is a bit of a red herring though. Transfer fees have gone crazy this summer. The only players in the world that we could sign right now that I'd expect to have that sort of impact are mostly at barca and real. For Pogba to find nation effectively, he needs to be part of a functional unit. He's not an individual that comes in and the tide rises all ships.

Well the chopper was the United chopper landing at OT and was verified by a lad on Redcafe who took pics of it and posted them, his office is in view of OT. More than likely it was a visit by the Glazers
