I can't wait for Utd v Arsenal

HELLO my good football people, I trust you're doing well! From a football perspective I can't lie, I'm starting to get that feeling of anticipation again as the new season is just around the corner! Hard to believe we're just 12 days from the Community Shield with the following Friday seeing the first Premier League fixture (Liverpool v Bournemouth) at 9pm! I'm really looking forward to the Sunday when Arsenal travel to Old Trafford... it's a fixture that has served up some of the very best top-flight English football has had to offer.

Going back to the Roy Keane/ Patrick Vieira days, there was nothing that matched the (on-field) rivalry like these two giants! Sadly, the modern-day version is nothing like that, but in a very different way, this fixture has massive significance.

Of course Manchester United are also nowhere near the formidable club they once were, but the tinkering of coaches and huge money spent on the squad has to realise a return on investment at some stage. Or does it? The nightmare for everyone concerned with United is how long can the name and history of this once great club carry it through the gigantic debt it's been saddled with, coupled with a lack of success? Are the legions of fans around the globe still as interested? Is the club recruiting millions of new fans? I'd say no to both.

Dreadful

The modern-day fan wants to be online spurting off a bit of plastic banter about how good they are. Do kids in Ghana, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa and the rest of the world want to be parading in a "losers" shirt? And that's before mentioning the dreadful brand of football Ruben Amorim has been producing.
