You know what these comments prove? That Manchester United have a lot of supporters who are intelligent as this "rock" you speak of.. This is so sad to me. I wish Liverpool had a rival with much more knowledgeable supporters so we'd actually get good discussion about this rumor rather than babbling angst.
chelsea are top actually
thats the difference between a great successful club like United and a bunch of loser's like livershite United sold the best player in the world for a record fee and are still top of the league yet loserpool are falling apart what a great season it is
