[quote=“Manuel Zelaya, post: 876916, member: 377”]Wouldn’t agree with that statement at all. Its not been good enough against the teams at the top of the table that has been Man United’s problem this season. If you take the table from 10th place down, as I said already, Man United have picked up 22 pts from 27 (W7 D1 L1) just dropping 5 pts, losing to WBA and being held at Cardiff. In the 8 games against the teams in the top 9, they’ve picked up 6 pts from 24 (1 win against Arsenal, 3 draws against Chelsea, Spurs & Southampton and 4 losses to Everton, Man City, Liverpool & Newcastle).
For comparative purposes, Man United have as good a record as anyone against the cannon fodder. Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have all also dropped 5 points against teams placed 10 and lower. Liverpool drew at Swansea, lost at Hull. Arsenal lost at home to Aston Villa and were held at WBA. Chelsea lost at Stoke and were held at home to WBA. Manchester City have dropped 8 points against teams in lower half, losing at Cardiff and Aston Villa and drawing with Stoke. Everton also dropped 8 against lower half teams, drawing with Norwich, WBA, Cardiff and Crystal Palace.[/quote]
Fuck off with your fact supported argument. That sort of shit isn’t well received around here.
Great win. 2-0 down early on but came back to nick it. As usual this season made hard work of it and Hull were probably unlucky not to get an equaliser late on.

And I believe James Chester who provided the match winning o.g. was a former Man U youth team player. Another student out in the big bad world doing the bidding of the overlord.
Fucking hell. After a decent first ten minutes the rest of the first half was as atrocious a display as we’ve produced all season but it’s the type of undeserved win, when playing terribly that wins you league titles or helps achieve Europa League qualification.
Norwich could/should have been about two or three up at the break. Evra was exposed constantly down the left as Russell fucking Martin gave an imitation of Cafu at times. Credit to Moyes, hauled off Giggs and Welbeck’s belated introduction gave more thrust of front. Fortunate break for the goal but he took it well. Better display in the second half without ever dominating but really dug it out in what was a horrible game.
Hoolohan was probably the best player on the pitch and should have got MOTM. Dictated the game at times.
Six wins on the bounce and an excellent win with half the first choice team - Rafael, Jones, Rooney, Van Persie and Valencia - all missing. Sit back and watch teams above us slip up tomorrow now. Happy new year.
Even under the new regime, Man U still the best in the league when in comes to flat track bullying. At the half way mark, the record against the cannon fodder teams from 10-20, is 28 points accumulated from a possible 33. Against the teams placed 1-9 its 6 points accumulated from a possible 24.

No chance he’ll be sacked at this moment in time. Fergie and Charlton will let him see out the season, he is their appointment so they have to back him. However if things don’t pick up at the start of next season then it will be the time to call it a day I think.
Feel a bit for Moyes, he’s getting it in the neck but some of the players have to take a good look at themselves.

Moyes dosent have a clue. His tactics aren’t great. United ran out of ideas well before Fabio was sent off. He didn’t get rid of the likes of Anderson, Fabio and Ferdinad in the Summer and stamp his authority on the team. If there was any signs of improvement it would be fine but its getting worse week by week. United don’t have the time to wait. They have to get 4th. Surely the 6 year deal has a get out clause on Uniteds end.
Would hate to see United becoming a two bob club like Chelsea changing managers every five minutes.
He faced an impossible job taking over. They just won the title, he couldn’t make wholesale changes against that backdrop. The attempts by Woodward to buy Fabregas and other midfielders was farcical, ended up panic buying Fellaini and stuck with him now.
As painful as this season will be give him next summer to sort out the squad and ditch the deadwood.
