I am no United fan, but United fans need to remember that Ferguson wasn't an overnight success.
If Gary Crosby hadn't have been half an inch offside at the City Ground in January 1990, he wouldn't have been a success at all.
Of course, he hadn't inherited a title-winning team like Moyes, but clearly there are quite a few United fans who are, so to speak, glory hunters with no sense of their own clubs history.
I'm always willing to give a manager time but Moyes certainly hasn't inspired any great confidence in him yet.
He dithered around in the transfer market and ended up paying a ridiculous amount of money for a reasonable player.
Only 2 acceptable performances from 7 games.
Insisting on playing Ashley Young when Nani, Kagawa and Zaha are available.
On what I've seen so far United are going to have a real scrap to finish in the top 4. If we don't manage that then our business model could be royally screwed.

Arsenal may be real contenders this year. They have a class midfield. Whilshere, Ramsay, Walcott, Carzola, Ozil.......
Maybe Manchester United fans need to accept they have won so many throphys that maybe now its time they have a few baron years.
Most football clubs go through it, so just enjoy the ride and don't worry if you don't win so much. Just support the club.
I support my local Confro South club Chelmsford City who after 5 years in the play offs are 19th with a poor side, but hey that's football.
Also keep a eye on Messi and Barca for fun.
Did anyone see their game today. They were brilliant in the first half and over the 80 minutes he had Messi scored 1, assisted 1, but could have scored about 5. What was with that finishing.
How the hell did I miss this game...just slipped my mind (which is unbelievable when it comes to football)
Missed Neymar's first goal (he does need to get more selfish - though right now he is 'impress Messi' mode) and the fact that Tata subbed Messi again this season.
Leo won't like it, but if he has to be stopped from getting injuhe and screwing up the season come the QF/SF of CL and the final run-in, he must be kept fresh(er)
He also plays all Argentina games (even now that they have qualified!). Tata has more guts than Tito for sure (+ being a countryman and almost handpicked as a coach might help)
I have watched Barca for the very last time. I get bored as they are just too strong for the Liga...
Get what your saying Pino.
I have to admit to being a Messi fanboy really. I just love watching the guy play.
You can say whatever you like about Messi.
But he's no Carlton Palmer.
And another thing.
It's alright being a fancy-foot, Kick-a-ball Carlos but where would he be on a cold wet Tuesday night in February against Barnsley, eh?
Barcelona? They don't know their born.
Unlike Alf "the Hoof" Thwackthwaite. Now there were a player. How he didn't play for a better team than The White Swan I'll never know.
Now he was hard. Not like these Fall Over Babies of today. He once played an entire second half despite his spleen having left him for another man.
I always thought La Liga had real strength in depth but then the other week Swansea went to Valencia and won 3-0 so now I'm not so sure.Quote:

Laudrup isn't your usual Premier League coach either, having made his bones in La Liga (as a player and coach both)
But I do get you, Valencia and Sevilla are very weak this year.
This season atleast Atletico Madrid is showing that they aren't going to roll over for Real&Barca but the real acid test is the Madrid derbi this week.
United-WBA 1-2 :eek:
United clearly need Mourinho :devil: :andrea:Quote:

What a goal though. :eek:
Nigel Clough getting sacked is harsh, I feel.
RMA 0-1 ATM :D
Good news. However Atletico have no form in Liga matches v Real do they? i.e haven't won for 20 games in Liga.
Mind you time to change it now.
damn! where's that Bale chap when you need him ? :andrea: :devil:Quote:

bejaysus now they hit the crossbar ! :mad:
San Courtois :eek: :crazy:
Crap Real defense is a joke, yet Atletico doesn't want to score another goal :crazy:
http://i46.tinypic.com/hv9ul3.gif all the same :D
OMG................................... Atletico Win.
Man United lose at home again, this time to West Brom :\
I like Atlético Madrid.
They beat Real Madrid!
Atletico deserved more! :eek: :D
Atleti managed to lose every derbi even with strikers like Forlan, Aguero, Torres and Falcao... Finally they did it with Villa :D
Diego Costa is a dirty player (I missed this game but I know him!) but who better to counter Pepe? :grenade:
Mancini has signed a contract with Galatasaray :eek:
Maybe he likes kebabs :burp:
^^^like :DQuote:

Steaua - Chelsea 0-4
:(
Shame.
I didn't see the game, how did you play? Was it deserved?
Good win for Chelsea though and Arsenal did well.
Barcelona done good too winning at a tough Celtic Park although they seemed to lack an edge without Messi.
The score tells it all. When you get 4 you can't blame it on bad luck.:devil:Quote:

P.S. Fair to say I missed the first half cos I felt asleep.:p
