It's unravelling so fast the bandwagon rags haven't had time to decide who to support next.

Heard they had got contreao from Madrid? He any good? Never really seen him Play.

Talkshite are reporting that he's going nowhere, Ancelloti has said the window is 'over' for Real, nobody in and nobody out.

Ah I see. Cheers mate. Hope the guy that told me is getting giddy about it.

My new pet Rag at work, doesnt go, couldnt remember who beat them last time (i told him it was Spurs and that he cant be expected to remember all the names of teams that beat them) didnt know Rooney was injured either, told me today that he's pissed off, when they dont get CL football he said the fans are going to have to make up the short fall in income. I asked him why that bothers him so much, he said because its unfair on the real fans. I told him that he's ok, i dont think Sky will be putting up his subscription to make up the shortfall in the filth's books and he got off his high horse, stopped mouthing off and walked off. They really have been neutered by their predicament, as although i've only just met him, you can just tell he's the type that only 3 months ago would have gone on the offensive but not now.

Suck it up Rag cunts, suck it up

Did you mention to him that you were personal friends with a celebrity Bluemoon poster?

I did mention that i met PB and Toby at the last meet up if thats what you are getting at.

David Moyes faces double disappointment over the prospective signings of Real Madrid's Fabio Coentrão and Atlético Madrid's Koke despite the Manchester United manager's urgent wish to strengthen this month.

Coentrão has agreed a deal to join United but the champions may miss out on the left-back for a second consecutive window as Real do not want to sell any players during January. "No players are leaving and we're not going to sign anyone," said Carlo Ancelotti, the Real manager, on Sunday. "The window is closed for us."

Despite the public stance, there remains hope that Jorge Mendes, Coentrão's agent, will be able to persuade Real to sell the 25-year-old, who has made only four starts in La Liga this season and was reportedly upset when Moyes failed to sign him in the summer transfer window.

Moyes turned to the Portuguese on the closing day of the last window after a last-ditch bid to purchase Leighton Baines from Everton was rejected. But the United manager, who is keen to bring competition at left-back, ended a difficult summer by seeing his hopes of taking Coentrão to Old Trafford break down due to an issue over paperwork.

As far as Koke is concerned, United have the funds to acquire the midfielder but believe there will be difficulties in trying to sign the 21-year-old. The Atlético sporting director, José Luis Pérez Caminero, signalled as much when stating the player will not leave the club in mid-season. "Koke will be with us for many years. I am convinced," Caminero said. "He is a player who has improved considerably. [He] has also made it into the Spain squad and that puts you in the spotlight and opens more eyes."

good ole rag propaganda "koke will be staying here for many years" = we can't sign him in January, hmmmmm

Is Gus trying to make his job easier for the semi-final?

David Moyes still right boss for Manchester United - Gus Poyet

Sunderland manager Gus Poyet believes David Moyes is "still the right man" for Manchester United - but says he needs time to get things right.
The Black Cats host United in Tuesday's Capital One Cup semi-final first leg.

“
It is probably the most difficult time they have had in 15 years. If there's any time to play them, it's probably now
”
Adam Johnson
Moyes has had a difficult first season in charge with his team seventh in the Premier League and knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round by Swansea.
Poyet said: "He needs time and I hope he gets it to prove he was and is still the right man for Manchester United."
Moyes, whose side are 11 points adrift of league leaders Arsenal, has come in for criticism after the Swans became the fifth visiting side to win at Old Trafford this season, with West Brom, Everton, Newcastle and Tottenham having previously done so.
The Sunderland manager continued: "It's difficult to feel it (the pressure Moyes is under), but you can see it and I don't think it's nice, I don't.
"But I am sure that David first is strong enough and good enough to do the job, and secondly, everybody knew that after Alex Ferguson, it would be very difficult, very difficult."
Yet Adam Johnson believes United's current problems could work to the Black Cats' advantage.
Sunderland's former Manchester City winger said: "Hopefully we can try to catch them when it is probably the most difficult time they have had in 15 years.
Moyes' defeats this season
0-1 Liverpool (A) Premier League)
1-4 Manchester City (A) Premier League)
1-2 West Brom (H) Premier League)
0-1 Everton (H) Premier League)
0-1 Newcastle (H) Premier League)
1-2 Tottenham (H) Premier League)
1-2 Swansea (H) FA Cup)
"If there's any time to play them, it's probably now, so we can try to make the most of that.
"But they are still a top-quality team with top quality players and the key is to go to Old Trafford not down."
Poyet, meanwhile, has urged his bottom-of-the-table side to put a "nightmare" season to one side and relish the opportunity to reach a final.
The 46-year-old, who will be able to call on fit-again defender John O'Shea to face his former club, said: "It's the nice part, the nicest. It's nice to come here and talk about a semi-final and not talk about points and relegation.
"I would like to say it's the nicest part of the season because the rest has been a nightmare with the position in the table, so let's try to enjoy this one and go on and do something important for the club."
