Thread: there seems to be a shift of opinion

you dont necessarily need to be off to a flying start i mean **** United were 12th after 3-4 weeks last year and what happened at the end of the season......EXACTLY....not one thing like a flying start will be as important then the little things you cant even predict that will happen during the season, and that my boys is the reason footie is as special as it is, your there infront of your tv or live grasping for every moment that can put your team into glory.........im watching the Ole testimonial match right now......great game, espanyol isn't treating it like a friendly by any means, 3 yellows already and some wild wild tackles on nani and tevez. 0-0 at half time, cant wait to see my favorite player in his last game, even if its only for 20 minutes.

I think that the key to our season and finishing in the top four is good health and also being consistent and not dropping games that we shouldn't to finish in the top four we don't have to beat them head to head (but I thin we will sometimes) we just have to beat the other teams in the league

Maybe now this, whos tapping who will just stop.....cause plain and simple they all do it once in a while if not every time.

We never 'tapped' Ramos. We had a chat with him that got thrown around the press. We never made any public statements about how much we wanted him. Anyway, who cares about La Liga. It only matters if it's Prem, init!

Its an entirely fair point. Anybody who thinks we didn't 'tap up' Ramos is kidding themselves. As stated by the op, it goes on everywhere in football, all of the time, and its simply unimaginable that any club will have a completely clear record on this front.

As for Sevilla's issue with the situation now, it appears that its more between them and Ramos since they are both suing each other!

Used to be another United fan on here now and then. Adam something. God, can't believe I can't remember his name and also can't find it in the members list! Oops.

Anyway, talked sense also. I think there is a healthy respect between most Spurs and United fans - leaving aside the slight gripes now and then - because of the footballing ethos the clubs have.

You're right though, we're getting OT so I shall stop now!

Now i quite like your lot and dont mind you winning year on year untill its our turn to replace you's!!!

But on your point you didnt have your board talking to another gaffer behind the current ones back, you didnt loose your first 4 games and our fans I would imagine are a great deal more demanding than yours as we prety much of recent years had won f*ck all and was expected to get in the CL last term.

There is no way you can compare your mediocre start to our hidious one!!!

It will be a different story this season so watch ya backs as Rambo it hunting you lot down!!!

really wasnt comparing, im just stating, teams with talent ie us you chelsea aresenal liverfu$#s even everton maybe thats a long shot, could take the league even with a rough start. To say United fans are not as demanding is kinda harsh, as we expect nothing less then trophy after trophy. I see it as Tottenham are happy as a fat kid in a candy store for getting to any final and pushing the big four, its a slow transition cant expect Ramos to win so quickly, hes definitely making huge strides and its definitely a work in progress 150% in the right direction.

and i found this on the Man U forum on the official site, blew my mind i guess there is some respect between the two clubs i overlooked over the last hummmm 23 years of my life as a fan lol

Can Spurs really challenge the Top 4 - Manchester United Community

Watching the preason matches against norwich, leyton and celtic has shown me how different and better spurs will play this season. Instead of losing the ball and being constantly on the defence after we scored one goal we are keeping possesion, making solid passes, long passing to our strikers accurately and just all round playing more excitingly.

I still do think we should get another good centre back and a very intelligent striker but apart from that im satisfied by the players that Ramos has brought in. Come on you Spurs!

some fella put us to come second! now thats taking on new exteme levels of optimism and delusion that most spurs fans dont even have!!
