Thought I'd amuse everyone with your summer break ramblings of 12 months ago Dakey lad 
, and there was 10 more months of this to come during the season!
''So the summary is that while we are light years ahead in England we still have a bit to do to be the best in europe''
''George, No surprise there then, you wouldnt recognise a CL final if it smacked you in the face''
''I said I like a bet, but I am not stupid, I make easy money backing Utd against the likes of Chelsea and City''
''I will also admit as well that I expect it to be tight next year so instead of giving my mate the rest of the premier league teams, they are going to have to choose one team to back for the 50 quid, but I still expect to clean up again''
''I wonder why they all want to join us in preference to anybody else? It cant be the money as we are skint, are we not? It must be the endless supply of silverware!''
''We can quite rightly celebrate the 19th title won with the best home record ever and know that it is something our detractors will never come close to''
''it was nice to hear from Nasri that money does not matter to him, its winning trophies that is his main driver. Put away the cheque book then Dave, because if he is true to his word then a straight fight between us has only got one outcome''
''For the time being lets just laugh at the usual comments at this time of the year like, "Utds time is up" or "you are buying crap players" or "we are behind you...tick tock" and just await the start of the campaign with renewed optimism and then we will see what transpires as usual''
''watch this space for a mega transfer to cement our position at the top with the youngest squad in the league. No light at the end of the tunnel then for anyone for years to come''
''you cant allow the bitters to steal Nasri and Clichy from you as they would then have a good chance of also pipping you for 4th spot next season''
''As the whinger prepares to wing it over the Atlantic, we are told that his replacement is going to be Aguero. Now, as with Clichy and Savic, the pertinent and relevent question must be..... who the hell is he? I am sure however that you are going to explain to us exactly why he is world class. I look forward to that assessment.''
''Chaddy, Come back when you actually win something tangible mate and i dont mean the dublin Cup! I have got a feeling that we will be waiting a long while yet for anything else''
''Dont really pay that much attention to what other teams are doing to catch up. Its just so amusing to watch the goings on at Eastlands that I would liken it to the latest 160 million pound euro lottery winners dabbling in the stock market with their winnings, Yes they have got the money, but havent a clue what they are doing with it. As long as we invest wisely in good young players to bolster our squad then we are .going to stay ahead of the pack and no amount of panic, manic buying is going to alter that''
''I know, best to wait for the action to start so we can all sit back and watch it unravel in the most amusing manner, then next close season when they have failed again watch them repeat the sad sorry process all over again.''
''it will be the same old same old again after Xmas so enjoy your little happy time in the sun, You all know it is not going to last long''
''Predictions are easy, Utd to retain the league and win the CL. Utds' reserves to win the Carling and FA cups and our youth team to retain the youth cup. Should be some interesting battles for the minor places though''
And the one you got right ................
''time to get behind Lancs as they try to win the cricket league for the first time since god knows when, in fact its a common thread in Manchester as to who will win their respective league first, City or Lancashire. My moneys on the cricketers''
