      I wouldn’t guarantee Dervisoglu will still be at Brentford come the end of the window and you’re blocking a third Brentford player.

          It actually is based on science… Manchester has a population of 500,000. Let’s assume every single one of them supports Utd which they don’t…

          What’s Man Utd’s worldwide fan base? Let’s say 200 million. 500k is only 0.25%

      That’s commitment. Spurs twitter accounts, huh. I’ll make mine own way to the dungeon, much more preferable!
