United thread 2013/14

You're overlooking all the Indians Moyes has to face - those sat behind the dugout at the swamp.

Do they still go,as its ages since I`ve seen the cameras showing them ?

Yeah the tv used to love showing them before a game

3 of them look like they need to keep off the curry and the Cobra!

The 'Transitional' Period

I don't know about anyone else but I'm pretty sick of hearing this word get peddled about to describe United's situation at the moment.

I understand that not only have they got a new manager and a new backroom staff, they have also got a new Chief Exec.

But seriously, how long is this 'transitional' period excuse going to be used to describe their current standing. Us and Chelsea both have new managers, so what exactly is this 'transitional' phase because I'm getting pretty sick of hearing it in every interview that Moyes gives.

IMO if they don't fniish in the top 4 this 'transitional' phase could go on for another few years, I can't see them attracting the players as they will all want to play in the champions league.

They've been playing hide and Sikh.

Re: The 'Transitional' Period

I think it's fair to say that after 26 years, a new manager of anything will be under going a transitional phase. It'll be the same with Arsenal when Wenger goes.

Re: The 'Transitional' Period

This so called transitional period can go on as long as they want it to for me. The longer they think it will all come right in the end then the longer they will keep Moyes and be a source of much merriment. More power to Moyeses elbow I say.

Re: The 'Transitional' Period

As far as actual coaching staff goes, we're technically in the same situation as the swamp dwellers; all of Bobby's chums left at the start of last summer (no blame on them though). Transition is a poor, poor excuse.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

It's only getting better, for City fans. When yer think that Moyes might just have turned the corner (his words, not mine) they go an drop another one. What chance them buggering up v The Black Cats? Now if they went out over the two legs . . . . . . . . . . . . !!

 

[IrelandSuperman]

What chance them buggering up v The Black Cats?

Nada. SAFC are basically united reserves and have been for some time. They'll bend over for the rags.

Really? Despite them being able to get in with a shout of a trophy for the first time in 20 plus years?

Agree and that is why our set up and Madrid's Barcelona will have longevity

My song for Wee Davey - to the tune of Top Cat....enjoy!

Top Twat
The most effectual Top Twat
Who's intellectual close friends get to call him Davey
Providing it's without a point in three
Top Twat
The indisputable leader of the gang
He's the boss
He's the VIP
He's a Championship (manager)
He's the most tip top - Top Twat

Yes he's the chief
He's the king, but above everything
He's the most tip top - Top Twat!

I think it's entirely accurate, and completely fair, to talk about Manchester United and their current plight in the contex of a "transitional period", as that's exactly what they are currently going through. This transitional period was always going to mean a drop off on the pitch, I don't think anyone legitimately thought this would be a seamless switch and that United would be winning the title this season. However there's only so far the excuse of a transitional period can be allowed to go. united's current struggles, their points tally and their footballing displays can't all be explained away by a simple transitional period, they run deeper than that. Moyes has underperformed. In the same way that Ferguson seemingly was able to take a lesser squad of players and bring more out of them that you thought possible, Moyes doesn't seem capable of getting enough out of his squad to be competitive. Realisitically this United squad should be in in or around the 4th place. They aren't as good as City, or Chelsea, or Arsenal, but there's no reason for them to be so far adrift of Liverpool, Spurs, Everton etc, they have the squad to match those 3 sides.

But would you sack of all of the other members of the highly successful Management Team and bring in your own as soon as you walk in the door
or would you leave it be for the first season and gradually make changes over a period of time and you fully understand with exactly what and who you are dealing with?

I just loved the shots of those thick twats in their anti Glazer Norwich scarves as well as all the shit (scarves, shirts and hats) they bought from the Smegastore with money that goes straight into Malc's pocket. What a bunch of c*nts.

It was my lad's birthday yesterday and he says it was the best present he could have wished for.

 

[Blue Hefner]

I can't see S'land putting up much of a fight over 2 legs, they just aren't very good and I think Poyet is a fraud!

However the fact that Utds season rests on a 2 leg game V S'land in January shows what sort of job Moyes is doing.......
