So!! we support us thick and thin…
Olympiakos were rubbish tonight and tactically suicidal. Galatasary weren't much better last night. Better hope United gets Chelsea in the Quarter Finals its the only way either of them will get in the semis. A 40 year old midfielder and a keeper that saves with his legs are the best players on the pitch! embarrassing, totally embarrassing!

Re keeper save legs.. Jennings!! Schmeichel!!
Try to be more ignorant of histories best keepers.. it would make it more fun.
Throw a lot at Man U.. DG saves with his legs??? having a ****ing laugh mate!
I think you underestimate Chelsea. It may not be pretty, but think they have the manager with the best ability to grind out results.Quote:

Its never going to happen but it would be so funny if the top 3 in the league are Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal whilst City finish fourth. United win the Champs league to deprive our City brethren of the Champs League spot.
That's very BITTER.Quote:

scuttle around all over the place saving with whatever part of his body was
available was a reflection on the united defence and all the holes in it.
That was the point I was making.
Definitely!Quote:

With Moyes he is like a deer caught in the headlights. A very small manager lost at a big club and he can't cope.
Interesting you say that about Pellegrini. I've got a lot of mates who are season ticket holders and they seem to rate him - most of them anyway.Quote:

Guus Hiddink is talking about managing in England next year but Spurs being the favourites.
So why comment about De Gea using his feet? It was excellent keeping, his instincts are second to none.. true we shouldnt be indebted to our keeper and a 40 year old but the fact he used his feet was a non-issue..Quote:

you expect 2 very different games against those teams, and that was how it worked out.
what about the chap at Dortmund? He'd be much better than moyes but I think we missed a trick not appointing the special one.Quote:

He's also used to developing and not working on huge budgets.
Hiddink is too old, he'll be 68, you want to appoint someone in their late 40's early 50's.
klopp was my original choice but it would have been hard after last years champ league final to prize him away but we should now sack moyes and make an effort to get our man klopp.Quote:

How long was Fergie at Aberdeen? How long was Fergie at Man U?Quote:

what's wrong with two seasons of success? You will not get that with moyes and he wont last two seasonsQuote:

The pain and embarrassment will soon be over for you and you can concentrate on the real issue of getting Moyes out.
Arsenal 6 down. Can't say I'm enjoying this game. fair play Chelsea, you're playing well, more like Man City than normal Chelsea. If they had a decent striker, no idea what the score would be ;-)
Fantastic football from a top team with the best manager in the league. A perfect Saturday afternoon thrashing of local rivals. Come on you super Rams!!
Not a good afternoon for the teams playing in red!!Quote:

So the title is now down to a 3 horse race.
Looks like Burnley & Leicester will join the ranks next year.
