    The way things are going with the scum it's looking like a relegation battle at Yeovil in a couple of weeks

    I can't speak for the majority of United fans but I want us to win every game we play. This season has been a great lesson in not being able to always get what you want!

    Good to see the old sob story about the European ban stopping Everton winning the European Cup is still going strong after all these years. I think you might be re writing history mate with the 'Everton had a great team in the eighties' statement. They briefly emerged from Liverpool's shadow, had a couple of good seasons only for the pressure to get to Howard Kendall, he legged it and it all went downhill quick style. They have rarely needed the key to their trophy cabinet since.

    that's a bit harsh Richard. Mid eighties they had great team until Kevin Radcliffe got injured. Had they been able to play in Europe I'm sure they would have done well. The ban was harsh on the English clubs, I think it was because the English clubs were dominating Europe at that time. I bet the call for the ban was loudest from that shower real Madrid, who were worried your lot would pass them in European cups and I wouldn't have been surprised if they did. Strange the national team wasn't banned, probably because they were shit. They never banned the Dutch....a scary place to go at that time.

    I seem to remember that the FA egged on by footballer hater Thatcher did UEFA's dirty work by withdrawing English clubs so all UEFA had to do was confirm the ban.

    As you say it seems odd that the national team wasn't banned despite England fans causing mayhem all over Europe and this continued with riots in Dublin in 95 and at Euro 2000

    I remember a match down south a few years ago when the home fans were chanting 'there's only one Jimmy Saville' because of his blond locks, don't suppose that chant would be considered appropriate now would it
    Perhaps not a good move after all for Perks, Paul Ince has just got the sack 4 days after signing him. Could his lad Tom be following out of the door at Blackpool

    David Moyes has promised fans of Man Utd that they will be in a major European competition next year...

    ....even if he has to write the song himself.

    Stolen from James Adams.

    But we're a laughing stock.

    The situation we're in is dire and it's all of our own making. Mata in would be the first step to recovery.

    The next? Sack Moyes. It's just not working. And i'd also get rid of Woodward because his inexperience helped sink Moyes, weeks into his new job. Everyone sort of knew that Moyes was dead on September 2 when they stumbled into carrington with a injured fellaini for £27m
