I thought they'd drawn 1-1 until I came on here! Get the feck in! 90th minute winner against em and they had a man sent off - would never have happened in Fergie's day

I knew someone would point that out. And that's as maybe - but I'm still glad he's unlikely to win anything big with THEM this season.boltonboris wrote:Same as Arsenal then, yeah?

I see that several DMBs have taken to destroying their season tickets.
May the bridges I burn light your way

Ohhhhhh dear David
They're so reliant on Rooney and van Persie - but it's Moyes' own fault that van Persie is injured so I have little sympathy in that regard.

Some United fans on my social networks (I know, delete 'em?) are almost revelling in the revelling that everyone else is enjoying at their downfall.
But I reckon there must have been a similar joy when it started going wrong for Liverpool, just that Twitter didn't exist? People just like a narrative and don't like dominance or having said dominance rubbed in their faces.

Re: It's about time somebody started this thread!
Spotted on the Scum website Red Cafe. I post it without further comment.
Long passes aren't horrible in themselves. At our best we've used long passing both effectively and in an esthetically pleasing way (Scholes - it should be enough to mention his name).
Now, when we resort to our infamous zombie formula (ping it long and wide, cross it from out wide), this is both largely ineffective and not very pleasing on the eye - but it ain't "hoofing" in a traditional sense. We don't use a big target man, nor do we use long balls consciously as an attacking tool. Those long balls from deep our CBs often resort to, for instance, look more like desperation than tactics. Again, we don't field big men up front - so it would be a senseless tactic in the first place.
Anyway, I think it's worth mentioning this in the middle of all the present misery - because the idea that Moyes is turning us into a hoofing side isn't well founded. We play with too little invention and variation, yes - and it's a big problem. But it isn't primitive hoof ball tactics, that's simply not true. And the staleness of the formula isn't anything new either. It was a problem during Fergie's last seasons as well - as has been pointed out again and again
