Sad really as Arsenal are still doing very well I think. They always finish strongly and Wenger is no first-timer up that end. He's doing battle with new money. They'll do fine I think as will UTD when the dead wood is scrapped off.

 

Yeah, but lets not allow the truth to get in the way of a wind up

 

Errrmm I think you will find both teams were booed off. But nots let the truth to get in the way of self denial

 

Why would the Arsenal fans want to boo off Man Utd players?

They were booing off their own players poor performance because they couldn't beat a struggling team

 

If only there were a trophy for that, eh? 81 fruitless crosses is nothing to be proud of

 

25 years without a league title gets you f*ck all as well



Come on ABU's please try harder

 

According to the Manx fans on redcafe who were at the match both teams were booed off

 

I will return to this post in 25 years to quote and add smiley
I may return earlier if this blip in form drags over the next 2 seasons and you go the same way as Rangers.

 

Always banging on about the 'history'

 

Reigning league champions is a history you lot can only dream about

 

Oh the irony



They'll be a scouser along any moment chanting 5 times 5 times

 

That was the point. Don't take it all so personally

How are your mob doing today Ian ??

 

won 3 -1 yesterday Why

 

Manchester United Even the Pope hates them

A little boy from Liverpool had gone to Rome on holiday with his family hoping to see the Pope. Anyway, a couple of days after they'd arrived, the Pope was doing a tour of the city in his Popemobile. The little lad was bit worried that the Pope wouldn't be able to pick him out in the crowd, so his Mum said "don't worry, the Pope is a footy fan,so wear your Liverpool shirt and he's bound to pick you out and talk to you". So, they're in the crowd, but the Popemobile drives past them, and stops a bit further down the street where John Paul gets out and speaks to a little boy in a Man Utd shirt. The Liverpool lad is distraught and starts crying. His Mum says "don't worry, the Pope's driving around tomorrow as well, so we'll get you a Man Utd shirt and then he's bound to stop to see you". The next day arrives, and the boy's got on his new Man Utd shirt. The Popemobilestops right by him, John Paul gets out, bends down and says to the lad "I thought I told you scum to **** off yesterday?"...

Bloke walks into a bric-a-brac shop, and sees an ornamental brass rat, sort of thing women of a certain age like to put on the mantlepiece. He thinks
"that'll be perfect for my Mother-in-Law's birthday", so he asks the shopkeeper how much it is.
"£10 for the rat, £100 for the story", replies the man.
"Bugger the story" thinks the bloke, and takes the rat for a tenner. He walks off down the road, but has not gone 20 yards when a rat comes up from the gutter and starts to follow him. Soon more arrive, and in a few minutes the whole street is a sea of rats, all following the bloke, who keeps walking until he comes to a cliff.
He throws the brass rat over, and millions of rats follow, one after each other, plunging to certain death. The bloke them runs back to shop.....
"Aaaah", says the shop keeper, "you'll be back for the story"
"Sod the story, where's the brass man utd fan?"

A Liverpool fan is walking along a beach, when he sees an old bottle. He picks it up, and takes out the cork. Out pops a genie who says
"I am the football genie. I grant 3 wishes, and everything you wish for wish for, you shall get, but every Manchester United fan will get twice what you wish for."
"Fair enough", says the man." I wish for 1 million quid".
"You understand that every one of the scum will receive £2 million?"
"Yep, I can live with that"
And, lo and behold, there apperars a case of £50 notes.
"Now I wish for Liverpool to win the European Cup for 10 years running"
"You understand that this means Manchester United will win the Cup 20 years running?"
"Yep, I can live with that"
And, lo and behold, there apperars a sports almanack from the year 2050 showing the English dominance of the European Cup
"Final wish"
After some thought the Liverpool fan replies:
"I'd like to give a kidney transplant......"

 

Now I remember, you're a Spireite IIRC ?, no wonder you give the United thread so much of your time with such low grade football on offer


You're probably like LUCKO supporting two teams what with all the Pro Liverpool posts

 

No just a spireite. Talking about low grade football errrrmm see the match last night

 

Well that was probably the worst I have seen us play all season. Other than the last 10-15 mins when Welbeck came on and injected some passion and energy into the side it was just so bad. I lost count of how many times players lost possession with the ball at their feet. Sloppy passes all over the park. Cleverly may as well not even be on the pitch. In fact I didn’t even hear his name mentioned for the first 15 mins and we had a lot of possession during that period.

We seem to be afraid to go forward as every pass is sideways or backwards. You can blame a lot of things on lack of confidence but there was no desire to chase and win the ball last night with any urgency. Rooney looked pretty average and like someone who is comfortable seeing in 300k a week until retirement.

Only two players who showed effort were Vidic and Welbeck. Oh and Young at least when Welbeck arriving created a lot more space.

 

That was hopeless.

 

Shame you had to wait so long to post your response

Agree with the sentiments though

 

Look on the bright side. You got to top up your tan for a few hours before kick-off. Makes away days worthwhile...

 

I know I said give him two years and that we'd experience a 2 year hangover, BUT, Moyes' approach to certain games and his tactics are really beginning to give me cause for concern now, last night was an absolute mess.
I could live with it if we were playing decent football, or just football but we're not.

When we went 2-0 down Moyes slumped back in his chair SAF would have been bouncing about on the touch line directing and screaming at his players chewing gum flying in all directions

Not sure if I want to give Moyes the keys to the bank this summer.

Jurgen Klopp anyone

 

What, replace The Losing One!?

 

Moyes inherited a decent team, what has happened is shocking. His tactical decisions have been poor. I could not believe he left the team unchanged last night after half time. Total absence of desire to win. He needs to be gone, sooner the better. Unless decisive action is taken no player will want to come. The decline could them become entrenched. His appearance, his demeanour, speech and boby language are those of a loser. Its as if we are too scared to actually say out loud what has happened. The club is too big to stick by an unproven manager at this level. He has had his chance and he has mucked up. The only way out for him is to progress in the CL. If we go out he should be gone.

 

have Man U publicly committed to handing over the "keys to the bank" in the summer to whoever is in charge

it will be interesting to see what they spend

I would suspect any money would be financed by debt

This article is hilarious.

Moyes uses Ipads you know in his top secret 'scouting bunker'!?

 

The team was poor last year but still managed to grind out results. We were lucky last year and now it's showing. Half the squad are not of a high enough caliber and Moyes is doing what he can.
