Fucking lol!
The stone-washed jeans bring out the best in Fergie's nose.

Hehe. He is indeed the Colour-Coordinated Govan Piss Can.

Long way to go to the scum when they are losing so all the Londoners Europe Irish supporters will drop like rats on a sinking ship

Hopefully, you'll be proven right eventually but anyone coming from Ireland or Mainland Europe would have booked their trips weeks or even months ago. More likely it's the Santa factor.
What stunned me was the mass exodus just after the goal. Shocking set of supporters. Truly shocking.

Aren't Ian Holloway and Owen Coyle free at the moment?

I'm amazed nothing much seems to be being said about the story of Kagawa having his stomach pumped for supposedly overeating??!!!

It's one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard in 30odd years of following football.

He must have been starring in one of his Mrs movies....

People have called it spot on, what is different is the lack of confidence. Fergiescum made a group of largely average players have a belief that they were brilliant and so they did things beyond their usual ability. They were able to grind out results and play well. What he also had was Scholes and Carrick, players able to make a pass and look forward. Without either of those two they are exposed as the average team that we all have known they are. Weak at the back, toothless in the middle and therefore losing games regularly. Cleverley is an awful player, it is a fault of the English that he is applauded for being able to run around for 90mins and that seems to justify and England place. Without Carrick they have no player in midfield who is able to get the ball moving forward. You look at Cabaye and the other players Newcastle have in midfield and you could see the rags would struggle. These are players who are now massively under confident and despite Rooney being suspended, even with him coming back in, who is their midfield saviour? Carrick is ageing and they were snubbed by any midfielder capable of passing more than 5 yards in the summer. Moyes too has lost confidence, he is feeling the pressure and is letting that impact his decision making. It is brilliant to watch. If they let Kagawa go then they lose on their last remaining technically gifted players.

Now i normally think MOTD is crap but watching the rag highlights on there Saturday night was a joy.The camera panned to the stands.Fans covering their eyes,kids crying and the commentator said,''Some of these fans will never have seen this in their lifetime,two home losses on the bounce,they are usually only used to winning and success here!''Fucking brilliant and no way will or would they have stayed loyal like us for 35 years if they had to put up with that and much worse like we did!Let's pray we get to find out eh?

I feel for Moyes; he's in an impossible job. It's been said before but I mean it in another way, not the problem of living up to whisky nose's fame, but the resulting effect of his success and the fact he is still relatively in charge at united on the board.

It's likely they are wanting the team to carry on playing the same way because that's how they've won for so long; they won't want to change a winning formula. Problem is Moyes is a different person and there doesn't seem to be much of the old management there to continue the style of play.

It's fitting that he's saying he can't change much, as he wanted to on the pitch to bring RVP off, but couldn't because of crying fans.

It's an impossible job that no manager will want to take if they were to oust Moyes - a problem of their own creating. They need to let it be known the incoming managers have full reign, as a spectator, and a non-fan, it certainly doesn't look a comfortable arrangement for any manager to work there.

Who are better managers? On the theme of a previous comment saying motivation is the key, who better now than the man currently in charge at Everton, Martinez, he's one hell of a manager I'm coming to respect more and more. He won't want to join United, he's having a ball at Everton at the moment and isn't known for jumping ships quickly.

United are likely to be a midtable team for many seasons to come until they bring in a highly talented long term manager and given the freedom he needs. My guess is they will struggle with Moyes for 1-3 seasons whilst keeping an eye on replacing him with someone of fame or a young prospect, they won't want to fuck it up twice will they?
