The Manchester United Thread

The thing I don't get is... with this likely ban of all mass gatherings...... how can we do that for 2 years? I think there is some over-reaction, not trying to say that this virus isn't serious, but by all accounts unless your elderly the survival rate is fine and it's just a bad flu in the worst scenario.

I think everyone is panicking for sure but it feels like an over-reaction.... condolences to all those who have died and contracted this virus. But banning all gatherings for 2 years is madness to me... we're going to shut down the world for 2 years over a worst case scenario for most: bad flu.

Yes ban big events for now.... but 2 years.... come on. We're going to never live a normal life if we react like this. It's not the black plague for god sake. The media has over-hyped it to a degree which doesn't help. Scared everyone shitless.

Next week ministers are going to introduce legislation that could ban mass gatherings of over 500 people for up to 2 years. It's on Sky News, so not official yet but the way we're going wouldn't rule it out.This governments a joke, they don't have a clue how to handle this.

I've friends in the medical profession telling me that the Governments measured approach is proportional to when it's expected to peek here and a slow phasing is better than too many changes to our lives too soon which would cause chaos to the NHS.

But then that's flying totally against what most other Countries are doing and all seems really lax to me.

Probably different for you since you're an island. You can easily shut down the country to the outside world if there's a need. For us the #1 problem is suddenly having to secure 3500 kilometers of land border.
 
MEN reporting that Newcastle seriously want Phil Jones in the Summer and Utd will listen to offers around the 12-15m mark. Also saying Ighalo club will let him leave for around 16m
 
Pogba about to have his extension triggered before signing a new long term contract says Ramano and various others.
 
So the two clubs combined have donated Lingards weekly wages, Jesus wept at this generosity.

Unfair to ask like this. Comparing multi billion industry with common folk...
Football lives and breads on fans and community. I have people around me forced to go home as work is shut down and having reduced pay. Yes the clubs also will have big loss in revanue etc, but they are much better backed up for this.

I bet you 90% of the people never donated a single dollar in their lives, yet they feel entitled to "educate" others how they should DONATE. I'm sorry, but giving up 1$ from your own is a great thing in my eyes, regardless how much money you have.
Tyton might have been donating as well, I have no ways of knowing that, but he can buzz off with that prickish comment. What gives him right to ask, let alone tell someone how much they should donate?
