What on earth has happened to Stoke's defence? That's some of the worst set-piece defending I've seen in a while. 1-0 Trafford Rags. Soft, soft goal

Maybe so - but that still doesn't explain what's happened to their previously barley penetrable defence. :conf:

Well indeed. Though I suspect when you start having those sorts of problems the whole caboodle can easily unravel, including a previously watertight back four!

Aye - true enough. I don't know if you've seen the goal but it looks to me as though Carrick's doing nothing more than trying to keep it alive - next thing it's rolled in. No man on the post and defenders all at sea.

Stoke aside, when was the last time Man Utd had such an average (by their standards) set of players?

Yeah there are differences for sure. The last few months under Allardyce were fairly dreadful. And for the last two seasons irrespective of doing well, fans were murmuring about the football.

Careful what you wish for an all that.....

What a fantastic May that would be. QPR and Stoke relegated, Bolton go up after a playoff final win at Wembley... :pissed:

yeah, but allardyce thought he were better than us and his head had gone / been turned / got pissed off he didnt have an endless well of a transfer budget while finding the mearest suggestion of putting his own money in so abbhorant [that] he quit, its not really the same.

tony p's not going "if my last name were italian , i'd be managing some big foriegn team / big team in england team, coz i'm awesome. "

tony p has spent a lot of big money on a reasonable team and it masks certain things (ie, he were spending that much money on players that even if theyre not worth 8 million pound and theyre only worth 4, its still 3 more than the likes of burnley/bolton/ten-other-teams-in-the-prem can afford) maybe mr coates has shut his wallet now.

he spent about 6 mill on jonathan walters, for instance.

Nope. I'd rather Stoke go down than Wigan. I hold grudges as a football fan, y'see. I hate Boro, and Watford, but especially Stoke...

I wasn't bothered about Stoke going down, that was until I saw this prick on Full Kit Wankers! :lol:
