Heading over myself the bishops blaize is one of the best for atmosphere around old Trafford or the Trafford bar is decent too.

I prefer Sam Platts although it might be a bit cold to be in the courtyard where all the singing and chants go on,haven't been in The Trafford Bar in years.The Bishop's Blaize is good craic but get there early.

Dwarf.Shortage

UTD for the league and Ireland for the 6N's is the most attractive 60/1 bet I've came across, might throw €20 on it tomorrow morning.

Bishops Blaize... take a look on YouTube at it... try and get there early and think it's a pound in.... if it's your first time you'll spend a few hours there's easy! Watch out for Pete Boyle from MUTV and the mad Chinese fela..... I'll say no more as you'll know who he is when you see him

The first time I went to a United v 'Pool game we were drinking at the top of Matt Busby Way.The away fans coaches came down the road and were bottled-none of the Irish lads took part,smart enough not to waste good beer on scousers.:pac::pac:

Idiotic if true. He would still be highly desired by China in the summer, maybe even more so if he gets the golden boot and wins the league.

Blinded by dollar signs. Or yen. Whatever they use in China.

Rayne Wooney

will do some serious damage to Chelsea if it happens, here's hoping. Very slim chance they'll cope without him.

Its funny after costa only saying a few weeks ago its easy play well when you like your manager

Headshot

If we loose Sunday, I hope Costa stays

We win, hope he goes

lol

Bigger news than Costa...Pogba!!!

https://twitter.com/paulpogba/status/819953071157641220

So on twitter if you do #Pogba you get a Pogba emoji.



Twitter want some of the United action, they know...he is the first player to get his own emoji on twitter.

if costa does go to china and they get massive money for him, 80m is the price they seem to be willing to pay, that will be 140m for 2 players in this transfer window. you would have to make chelsea favourites to sign greizemann as they will just outbid everybody including ourselves to make a statement

They are rebuilding Stamford Bridge for anything up to £750 million.

Griezmann said he would like to play club football with Pogba. He will not go to Chelsea.

Andy gray was saying earlier that roman wasn't paying for the stadium so that's a fair pint too.

If Griezmann ever comes to the PL, I just can't see him going to any other club than us, especially with Pogba and even Martial at our club. I think next summer he is ours

Griezmann has a release clause so outbidding will only work on Wages and i reckon we could match anything that they could put forward. Supposedly this is coming up on the same day that a Belgian Journalist stated that Lukaku still dreams of playing for Chelsea.

GSPfan

This Diego Costa thing is unreal. Why would he do this in the middle of an unbelievable season where he has a great chance of winning the league. The money will be there come April too im sure. Could have just waited maybe.

This is brilliant for us. Im convinced Leicester can beat them and that was before all this. If it all goes our way with a few teams above us losing and us winning then you'd be realistically thinking we can win the league. If all teams are equal going into the last ten games I think Jose wins us the league.

cant see chelsea letting him go in january unless they have a replacement lined up. if we beat liverpool and chelsea win, they will be well clear of everyone and if a mad offer did come in for him, 80m and they did sell, i think Lukaku would go back there and they will do just about enough to get over the line

How Soon Is Now

Where not winning the league this year lads. Costa or no Costa its not happening.

It would take one of the most epic **** ups / luck for all the teams above us to self destruct and for us to keep the run where on right now till end season.

No it wont. We are only hoping for Chelsea to fook up and its starting to unravel for them right now. Everyone else is within touching distance and we are the form team.

Yeh I agree I was just sending him to the source of the op opinion. I think he is reeling in the fans a little but there is something there.

Im gonna give Red Square, over near Sam Platts a go on Sunday. Atmosphere supposed to be better than the Blaize with more space to move. I'm unsure but can always just pop over to Sam Platts if not

What were the rumours during the week? That he had a bust up with one of the coaches, something to do with fitness? Then that he hadn't trained for the week but it has since been said he has been training.

If he did have a bust up with the coach and said something he shouldn't or acted in a way he shouldn't I would be putting his omission from the match day squad (he was included in the prov squad) as a matter of internal club discipline.

Conte is a stern taskmaster and would have no trouble dropping him if he felt he had breached his rules. I didn't read the BBC link yet but will as I would respect their take on it but it doesn't look like too much is wrong to me if he has been training and is publicly putting out messages of support for the club.

Time will tell I suppose but Costa to China would be bizarre at this stage, in the summer? Maybe but right now seems very unlikely surely?

Edit: Yeah so the bbc have the falling out with a coach thing (not Conte) looking more like an internal club discipline matter?
