This is the definition of moving the goalposts imo.

Bubbleking's main point was that United were in serious danger of being out of the running for any serious trophy by March and, more or less, he was right.

You belittled his post as being nonsense and, I believe, his last post in this thread was an attempt at rubbing your nose in it. Really good one too as it happens.

Time to take your medicine really.

To be fair Man U are in no way shape of form out of the running for any serious trophy, and it's April. Surely for his post to be proven right there'd have to be a significant gap in the title race, two points is hardly that.

There is merit to this, but there is a significant advantage with Chelsea now. Also, I didn't say he was absolutely right, I said more or less as obviously United could still win the PL.

Overall his post was right though.

pftt what a night, Kayroo, I refer you to the bolded part and I say WTF ?

2 points off the lead and they are out of the League LOL


Tomorrow i expect to see the rsie of Portuguese football to it's rightful place in European Football.

Fergie is trying his best to give the Abus a pleasant end of season. Rooney should have been taken off when oviously injured . Carrick should have emerged in the 2nd half with only 1 testicle. bringing on O'Shea who hasn't played since last November was redic , United can't defend, why bring on the opposition to you. Anyway 20 years of success ,we'l forgive him.

I don't think there was any evidence of the resurgance of German football, ok Holland is near Germany and Robben looks like a Nazi but that Bayern team were lucky and won't make the final, my moneys on it already.

I think it's a shame Utd are out but Messi took it easy on them last year , methinks he could have really embarassed the dodgy defence United have this year.

In the meantime bring on the 19th title and 4 in a row. I'm drunk so spelliz be ignored.

[bohsman]

You can say that again. Supporting Coventry is like having steak without pepper sauce like its still football but is there any point?

Gary Deegan is the point.

LOST!
Holy fuck

Magic, was seriously considering giving up on the series until this episode.

Overall his post was right though.

Come on dude, no it wasn't - 1) it's April, 2) they are still very much in contention in the premiership. Overall his post was wrong.

LOL, there is merit to this. His point is 100% valid, they are only out of Europe that's it.

Good work villagers!

[Kayroo]

Woah there Willie.

Again, I refer you to my other post where I by no means say United are doomed to eternal and perpetual failure.

What I said was that Bubbleking was more or less right, which he was. I am not a United, Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal fan. I have no vested interests at all. United are more likely than not to end the season with no trophy. True or false?

[Solskjaer]

Good work villagers!

just noticed that now. yey. , kev you Dawg.

100% False, we already have one trophy in the bag.

False, although I hate to count the LC yoke.

Anyway, read back over your post, bubbleking jumped the gun as did you LOL. Now wheres me gotcha. more or less right , out of contention = Liverpool . In cntention = Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea. ? come on gambini

Ugh, nobody counts that thing. The proper phrasing for my question was: true or false, United are more likely than not to end the season without a single meaningful trophy?

I didn't jump the gun at all. The basic point of BBkings post stands imo. I don't expect you to agree but by all reasonable measures United are far less likely to win the PL than Chelsea.

I actually hope United win the PL to be honest. Obviously Ferguson is closing in on retirement and for all his faults I think he deserves to win at least one more trophy and have the choice to go out on a high this summer.

That said the old man could well outlive us all by sheer force of will I reckon.

Your tieing yourself up in knots. On one hand your defending someone who said their season will be over in march and on the other your saying they're still in contension but less likely than Chelsea!

[dannydiamond]

A little bit of fluff for all the cool cats here,I 've posted this before but I just love this, never gets old imo.

wus was wrong also but I'm playing the beer card for me spellinz.

This thread was hot earlier (full of LOL also)
I thought Nani was brillaint tonight but it has got lost in all this jibber jabber. Dunphy is a scallywag i couldn't hear most if it though. LOTS of ABUs in the pub, nearly wrecked the place when Robben scored. I flicked a crisp at one of them.

[eagle eye]

Just before I go off watching a movie, I am back using mozilla again and its not crashing. I found this little gem which helps speed up your computer. I have an old laptop which I test any new software on before I put on this one I'm using now.

Anyways low and behold my old xp laptop is now flying, its never worked as fast since I bought it. This program is a memory optimiser but it also clears the file cache which builds up and slows down your machine.

Its called cleanmem and this is where to download it, you won't even notice it running, you will notice a faster laptop/pc though. http://www.pcwintech.com/cleanmem

I'm now thinking that there is a cache problem with mozilla and this sorts it.

[aodea]

Gary Deegan is the point.

Actually well impressed gives a lot of fouls away, defo the most competive midfielder we have and has scored one or two so cant complain.

[Kayroo]

Your tieing yourself up in knots. On one hand your defending someone who said their season will be over in march and on the other your saying they're still in contension but less likely than Chelsea!

Ha, no I am really not. I was defending, albeit with the caveat that he wasn't totally right, BBking's post that United could be out of contention for any meaningful trophy by March. That caveat was there because, while United undoubtedly could win the PL, that eventuality is far less likely than them winning nothing of significance.

Hence, I can say that, on the balance of probabilities at least, United will not win a significant trophy this year. That's not to say they can't of course. It's really a matter of probability. I am sure you've heard of probabilities.

So while my thought processes and arguments might be a tad too subtle to suit your mind I can assure you if I wanted to talk someone into circles I certainly could, although that person would certainly not be me.

Just downloaded The Pacific, hope it's as epic as people are making it out to be.

Nani was brilliant in the first half in particular I thought. He's a frustrating fucker though, no consistency at all.

Got a few silly red cards last season but if he gets that out of his system he's far too good for Coventry, enjoy while yous have him.

I don't subscribe to your argument at all. In Spain, Real are probably slight favorites for the league. On the balance of probabilities at least, Barcelona will not win a domestic trophy this season. Are they out of contention and their domestic season over in April?

You do yourself no favours coming across as patronizing and condescending for no good reason at all when your point is hardly concrete. I hope you wouldn't talk down to a jury like that.

[Kayroo]

These exams are killing me tbh...

[cooker3]

Also, this was mentioned earlier, but how fukking good was this weeks Lost? Fantastic stuff. 2 epic episodes in 3 weeks, both up there with 'The Constant' imo

hmmmn. I enjoyed it but it wasn't as good as the constant or flashes before your eyes imo. Still, much needed forward momentum on the sideways.

Oh I haven't logged in here for nearly a fortnight until this afternoon so can someone cliffnotes me any success at the IO amongst any posters?

He does get booked a lot, and no i dont think he is too good for coventry but he can improve defo a good signing.

Post is full of bs so like bubblekings original LOL post I'll decline to give it a response.

Oh and probabilities came up once or twice during my statistical degree course in UCD.

The condescending thing I accept, although it mainly stemmed from the ridiculous accusation that I was tying myself in knots.

Your point about Barcelona is pretty silly as it is not like for like either, the word "domestic" as a limitation on the argument is a wholly new addition and is done solely to make your point seem stronger.

EDIT: Addressed to wrong poster.

First of all, I didn't say anything about tying anyone in nots. Even if I did, there was no need to come across the way you did. It made you look very very bad.

Second of all, the point is far from silly. The point is they aren't favourites but are still in contention, and given how close the title race is there it illustrates the point. Essentially what happened is...

- BBking made a claim saying Man United would be out of contention for all major trophys by March
- Rekop Dog said lol
- Man United are still in contention for a major trophy, arguably their most important trophy, and it's April. They aren't favorites, but they are in contention.
- Rekop Dog proved correct. At no point did he say Man U would win the league, or be favourites in April, at least not in the quoted bits. Just laughed at the idea that they'd be out of contention by March. A notion that's proven laughable.

[Ace]

These exams are killing me tbh...

you not qualified?

[cooker3]

Oh on United. I think they have exceeded expectations this season tbh. Considering their squad has weakened and the huge injury crisis they had with defenders in December they are lucky to still have a chance at the league. I think under any other manager they would be fighting for an champions league spot and that's it.

The winning mentality that Ferguson has installed has gotten them through the season along with Rooney taken the baton and running with it. They have also been fortunate that this is the weakest premiership in years with every team going backwards.

Their midfield is not up to it at the truly highest level and I don't think he has the money to do much about it... but I will never write a Ferguson managed United team off. Next 2-3 seasons will be very interesting for United imo.

[Solskjaer]

Taxi for Keith

[Kayroo]

Sledge, I thought I was responding to Rekop, wasn't aimed at you and I edited the last one about tying in knots. Sorry. Also, already apologised for the condescending thing to Rekop.

As for the sequence, I have never once, not ever, said United couldn't win the league or were out of contention. My point, from the very start, was that Chelsea are far more likely than United to win the league.

I never said I agreed with BBking, I said his point had merit.
