Did they really pay £26M for Anderson ?

To be fair, Anderson was an absolutely fantastic young player, but Fergie ruined him. He was an incredible dribbler with excellent vision and lovely passing, he was considered an heir to Ronaldinho. But Fergie inexplicably insisted that he should be a shit box to box midfielder instead of a high class number 10, then spent the next 5 years removing all his positive attributes and leaving nothing but a shit, overweight carcass, much like he did with Allan Smith.

On talkshite tonight, someone said we still have to go to Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton and the Un*t*d.

Why do people thing that we're going to struggle at the swamp?

They've already lost four league games there, and since the 4-1 thrashing at Etihad, we've improved

They obviously aren't thinking. Convincing victories there two seasons in a row, when they finished 2nd and 1st, they are much poorer and got nowhere near us at the Etihad this season so unless we are unlucky, I don't see us losing.

Nor do I, R-F K.

I hate to tempt fate, especially where those ***** are concerned, but even if we went there with the team that played last night, I.e. no Kun, Sami, and Ferny, I still think we would have far too much for them.
 
Anyone else see their PR twitter disaster recently.

Manchester United’s #AskCarrick fan interaction degenerates into PR disaster

''#askcarrick hi have you ever thought of turning your back on United like you did on Charlie Adam's free kick''

#AskCarrick if you could drop one player from the team how would you tell Cleverley?

#AskCarrick. why do you think you are so massively overrated by everyone in the media?

Do you ever look at Young, Cleverly, Smalling, Welbeck & question the point of living? #AskCarrick

#AskCarrick How do you do that trick where you disappear in big games?

#AskCarrick Is it true that @Persie_Official injuries are due to his irregular menstrual cycle?

AskCarrick can you ask the geniuses at your PR dept to proceed with the #askcleverly and #askashleyyoung Q&A program?

#AskCarrick did you know passing the ball forward increases the chances by a considerable margin of your team scoring?

#AskCarrick What's it like playing midfield on your own?

#AskCarrick What do the benches at Wembley feel like? Which one of them is your favourite? Surely you must've tried them all?

#askcarrick have you tried wearing your kit backwards to see if it will help you pass the ball forward?

#askcarrick whats the key to your fantastic link up play with de gea?

#AskCarrick Why do you have the same facial hair as Ian Beale?

#AskCarrick in terms of bouncebackability, what was the furthest you got when pushing Anderson over?

#askcarrick why have you had the same hairstyle for the last 15 years?

Do you die a little inside when you're looking for someone to pass to and Tom Cleverley is to your left #AskCarrick

I didn't see us losing last night either...

As bobby manc used to say, dis-eeza futball.
 
Were any rags gloating at work today over last night? Some were where I work. Don't know how they even dare the state they are in or is it a sign of how the tide has turned.

They are so bad they only have our defeats to cheer them up.

I hope I am laughing on the other side of my face by May - 2 trophies of any description will make up for it and I think we may just get them but not sure which 2.
 
Would love if the coach Moyes fired (Meulensteen) would go back to OT this weekend and get a result. He gets a lot of stick for firing Fergie's coaching staff it would be hell for him if one of those coaches would get points off him.:)

Reminds me of when we used to have little to look forward to so relished any bad result they had to cheer us up. It's turned full circle (for now at least) but it's still nowhere near as comparable as the situation we found ourselves in when they were racking up the trophies while we were fighting (and losing) relegation battles. It would have to get a whole lot worse for them and a whole better for us (over a sustained period of several years) for them to claim that they're going through what we went through. Half a season of mediocrity under Moyes is fuck all really.
