Beforehand it was, "Are you f.....g ready?"
"You bet I'm f.....g ready!"
But now England midfielder Steven Gerrard has been left 'broken' and will be on the bench considering his International future for England's last World Cup 2014 competition game against Costa Rica.

Lampard will take the captain's role.
Is it worth it for these guys? Not if it goes wrong.
If it does go right then you might get glorified with your own statue on a square in front of your club's main entrance.
Will it ever go right for Gerrard again? Most likely it will not. I doubt we will ever see him as an International England player ever again. And I'm sad about it. He is a fine captain and one of the very best.
It will be utterly difficult enough for this fine sportsman to go back to Liverpool and play at the side of Suarez once again. So what will happen there?

Chris thats a bit rich your above post, If I remember correctly UTD were only 5th in the league for transfers last season and most of that was on that long haired plonker you sold us.
AND lets not forget WE WON THE LEAGUE WITH A BUNCH OF KIDS, kids who I might add have been around for years up until this last season and all from the youth team.
So go away and rethink your inacurate post up above.
Please also get your specs out their is no bigger critic of Wayne Rooney on his over inflated salary than me.
I wanted shut of him last season or have you conveniently forgotten.
And last but not least Man Utds % of transfer fees as a % of total revenue is the lowest in the league, so please please get your facts right before shouting off.

Question is for how long will the market (us the supporters (mugs), put up with this nonsense.
1969 - Goodison Park only:- Admission Paddock two shillings and sixpence, pint of beer one shilling and tuppence.
2014 - Cheapest ticket £25 no doubt with an obstructed view,pint of beer outside the ground £3.80
And that is cheap compared to London.
Factor in largest transfer fee £100,00 to today Gareth Bale Different planet.

Well yes I totaly agree but to suggest its Utd leading the pack is totaly wrong, look no further than Man City and Chelski, even liverpool this last season. They are the BOUGHT TEAMS.
And dont forget Utds admission fees and tickets have been very reasonable compared to the top clubs in the premiership and top teams in europe.

Chris I can let you in on a insider secret we may spend a lot but are looking to get at least 50% back from players leaving the club.
You have to net transfers off dont forget.
Anyway it should be looked over say a 5 year period and I bet after this period we wont be in the top 4 for net transfers.

How do you mean I share with 7 other blokes my mates. And the only reason I went along with that was because of all seating rather than standing. At 6'10'' it kills me to be bundled in a little seat sitting all the match.
I cant stand that.

I didnt say we would win it this next season.
We have to be patient and you know what I thought of the treatment of Moyes.
It was a disgrace.

Now come on who is losing the old memory now mate. Anyway let's see what actually happens, I still think the Dutch feller has to spend big and to do that the wages have to match. How else can United attract players who are already playing in theChampions League. If he doesn't back to the 70's.

No i said i felt sorry for Moyes and Fergie left him with a burnt out squad.
Anyway, dont forget he has the contacts. Especially Dutch players.
Robben is on his way for a knock down price.

A lot less than Rooneys £300 grand. By the way hes now the Worlds fastest footballer previously held by Walcott at the gooners. Clocked up in a qualifying game at the world cup.

Talk is £10million which in these days is derd cheap. OK hes just turned 30 but the fastest man in football............cant be bad. Must have 3 decent seasons left. Not a Fatty like Rooney, no Curry and Chips and 3 in a bed for him.
Total pro, Rooneys forgetten the definition, in fact did 4 years ago truth be known.
Anyway Im going to watch the match seeing Barkley is playing I hope he plays like the genious he COULD be and hope the like of the greedy bastards Rooney lampard and garrard havent turned his head which is what can happen at England get togethers ask Harry Rednap.

Mixed??? thats debatable kidA. I think were at our lowest point now and dropping further back.
---
Didn't qualify 1974 and '78, good team but lacked the last bit of finishing in '82, improved during the tournament in '86 and '90, didn't make '94, did well at EURO '96 but rubbish in '88, and so on. Mixed.
Off to watch Italy v Uruguay.
Cheers,
