Who saw it last night ?
Utd could hardly string a pass together, Van Persie forgot his Labrador and white stick, Rooney was anonymous , Welbeck was a non-event and so the shambolic list goes on. I think Fergie knew that team would grow old overnight and got out on the crest of a high with solid gold legacy intact.
Poor Moyes, fans are calling for his head on a daily basis and their league performance has been risible.

Don't worry, they'll do them over 3 nil at Old Trafford.
I wouldn't bet on it, this Utd team seem to be running on empty and their whole demeanour resembles a beaten and lacklustre unit.
Long live David Moyes
And the Glazers. And Cleverley. And Shrek.
Above Van Persie , Rooney and Rio Ferdinand discuss what went wrong.
Ive no doubt that Moyes walked into the MU job with his eyes shut, big debts, ridiculous players wages bill and ageing squad. Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal are where its at in the premier league with Liverpool being a runt clinging at their heels. Moyes simply took on a very poisonous chalice that Fergie walked away from rubbing his hands and smiling like a Cheshire cat......I feel sorry for David Moyes , wonder what his bpm would be like if he was wearing a heart meter.
Not even Ryan Giggs ( above ^ ) could have helped united in that match last night.
The problem he's going to have now is that unlike the summer of 2013 when he could have probably secured some decent players with the prospect of Champions League football, he's not going to have that luxury in the summer transfer window so he still needs to make changes but the players he wants won't come to the club because he won't be able to offer them Champions League football and possibly not even in the Europa league football.
It's true that Fellaini was a massive waste of money, but which manager hasn't bought the wrong player before? And if he'd got rid of the useless players he would've got f**k all in way of transfer fees to rebuild the squad. It's looking more and more like he's not up to the job of managing United, but his transfers aren't enough to go on.
The Rooney contract situation and the dire football on the other hand....
Not only that but there'll be other United players knocking on the door asking for £300k/week.
Who knows what the makeup is re image rights, performance (!) bonuses, and all that.
Plus it means he doesn't go to Chelsea for another couple of years, or until the next time he throws his toys about.
That is a disgraceful amount to be paying anyone and Rooney has a neck on him , I know life long football followers and regardless of club allegiances they unanimously agree that something is very very wrong. The way things are going the club janitor will be looking to speak to Moyes about a £125,000 per year pay rise.
Actually one of my best mates is a MU fan and has been for 45+ years, and even he finds the newer fans, who have never experienced such "hard" times, amusing to watch.
Hmm, not sure, I reckon Olympiakos might only manage another 2-0 win at Old Trafford
more seriously, they must have good odds to score an away goal (or two) with that creaking defence...
almost makes you feel sorry for Moyes (almost...
As for last night, can someone please explain what Tom Cleverley does ? and how does he get a game for England which is even more bizarre.
We're getting a visit from the in-laws over the weekend. One of them is a Man U fan and I'm really looking forward to it :twisted:

On Saturday night.
Ferguson wrung the life out of MU and he knew that. It was going to be impossible for any manager to come in and be successful. The only way any manager worth his salt would have taken the job would be under the proviso that they had a huge purse to re-vamp the squad.
The culture and mentality of the current squad is irreconcilable, in that Fergie assembled a team of players that would only perform under the coercive hand of the old man. That coercion in modern times is becoming less and less easy to meter out because of the Ego's and Superstar status of footballers. That made Fergie a modern anachronism and his time was up. (just look what happened to Ego's in the past under his stewardship).
Ciao MU, ciao all those fair weather supporters on the glory trail (from Cornwall, Preston, Milton Keynes, Cheltenham, Newp....)
You lucky git. I've been waiting for this moment for 20 miserable years, and when it finally arrives my Manure-supporting little brother has moved to the USA. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
Thats a WHOLE different thread right there. IMO everything that is wrong with football and has been for the past decade.

The problem is, people get it completely wrong.
The fact is, Wayne Rooney is wroth every penny of his £300k/week.
The reason for that is someone is paying it, hence he is worth it.
The question is if it is fair, I don't know the answer to that, I know however that I wouldn't say no.
Agree with sentiment that someone thinks he is worth it. Don't agree that he is at all. Fact of matter is that if Rooney hadn't been blessed with the ability to kick a ball (Even that is debatable in my opinion), he wouldn't even be able to hold down a job stacking shelves at Lidl.
Rooney wouldn't have the savvy to flip a burger in mcdonalds
Not a particularly loyal Man U supporter by the looks of things. Good sarcasm though.
jeez :roll:
