Please tell me you are joking here?
Leaving aside the unpalatable fact of actually wanting the rags to win any game, ever, why the fuck would you want them to progress further in Europe than we did, with the unlikely but not impossible chance of them bumbling their way through and winning the fucking thing?
We have a derby game coming up - going out of Europe, and the resulting infighting and recriminations will play havoc with their morale.
Moyes has come out and stated that he will be given time, even if, (when), they lose tonight.
Wanting a rags win tonight just doesn't compute for me.
Well if you'd read the rest of my post you'd see that I want them to have just enough hope of turning it around to retain Moyes for next season, especially to (mis)spend their 'war chest' during the summer. Logic says he should go, sentiment, deference and 'tradition' say he needs time. I don't know what United's management will do (bearing in mind also that Woodward is as useful as a chocolate teapot), but I want Moyes to linger there a while longer to completely drag them down into the dirt and if the price of that is progression past Olympiakos (ffs!) then I'm OK with that. No way will they win the CL. Are you joking?! Highly likely to be smashed by a big club in the next round. On form we should smash them anyway, no matter what their morale.
Noone saying that Moyes' position is safe and he will be given time means anything in reality.
