Says the supporter of a club who has no strikers.

I mean United have Martial who is a huge question mark at the moment and the near-literal corpses of Wayne Rooney and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, so it's not like United are exactly spoiled for strikers.

That you realise that the United Way was never an actual thing and the only way you're going to win anything is spend more than everyone else because it's pretty much Mourinho's only tactic to win.

He didn't say anything about that, and also spending more money than everyone else has always been part of the United way.

I can't wait for when Arsenal don't even win the FA Cup, and Arsenal never even have a high note upon which to announce Wengy's new contract, and then then they just try to slip it in in late June and everybody gets hella angry.

I think it's more that they can't claim to have qualified for the Champion's League every year since it started anymore.

Which I always found funny seeing as they never won the drat thing and probably never will in my lifetime.

Former Swansea youth Rory Donnelly has been suspended by Gillingham for appearing in gay porn.

Was the issue that he appeared in gay porn or just porn in general. I know a lot of sports have issues with players appearing in porn so lets not jump to homophobia yet...it may not have mattered whether it was straight or gay porn

I think the real reason was that he hosed a 15 year old girl.

It is unknown at this time whether the pictures of him with his cock out (and crossdressing) on a gay porn website effected Gillingham's decision in any way.

Chelsea and United are perennial title contenders who had rough seasons and immediately acted to fix the problem. Arsenal haven't made a serious challenge in years and the only defence has been "we've stayed in the top 4 the whole time." If they can't even do that any more then the club need a good hard look at themselves.

Still I think they really have to address how they break down defensive teams.
