Indeed. Kagawa stringing some strong performances together. Fellaini is just a clumsy oaf.

Bayern lost their first game in 53 matches yesterday. Ok they already won the bundesliga and rested Robben and Ribery but still gotta be pissed.

He even looks out of place when celebrating.

Talking of which on a serious note, did anyone see Torres "joining in" the celebration after Willian's goal ??, what was the point ? a weak hug and then stroll off as soon as your team mates arrive head down no expression looking sad. I'm begining to think he may be a manic depressive, never smiles anymore doesn't really celebrate others goals.


Probably best to leave Chelsea this summer and go home.

I'd be amazed if he's still at Chelsea after the summer. Missing out on the World Cup would hurt him. He'll go back to Spain, maybe back to Athletico.

So we're nearing the end of the season and we have to ask who stays who goes, right now it's probably easier to list who should stay !!!

At present I would like the following to stay

De Gea
Kagawa
Mata
Januzaj
Jones
Smalling
Evra
Buttner
Rooney
RVP
Wellbeck

I'd like to see Jessie Lingard and Andreas Pereira given a run next season

I'd agree with most of the above, plus Carrick and Valencia. Not sure about Buttner though. We need a good clear out. De Gea has been the stand out player this season IMO. RVP has to be a question mark unless he can get fit consistently. I'd rather see Welbeck given a firm run so he can work on his finishing.

Looking increasingly likely. I saw it pop up on the Telegraph first then all the other news papers jumped on board and finally the news networks.

We will see.

Long overdue if this is so. Get Moyes out and get a proven manager in. Underperformance on this scale and in this arena is not acceptable.

He should never have been appointed in the first place. They should have got the chosen one when they had the chance. I don't see anyone else out there that is worthy and capable of taking them back to a champions league final.

They need a proper clear out too, with Rooney at the top of the list to get the boot while he will still command decent money, send him off to Chelsea.

We unanimously agreed on David Moyes. David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic. I’ve admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of assistant manager here. There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this club.

It's probably worked in your favour really. Nobody wanted to come in after Ferguson left, since it was too much to live up to. Now the door's wide open for Roy Hodgson to step in

I said when he came in that United would suffer and fergie will step back up next season. Thought they'd give him longer personally. Fergie won't be happy if Liverpool win the title.

Looks all but done, although Guardiola drops a line to the BM hierachy this afternoon which was back me or sack me, maybe United will wait a little longer......

As an aside if Van Gaal does get the job I wonder if Rooney will still be there come August...
