Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

Total muppet. De Gea would've saved it by the looks of the replay - he was in line with it. I guess Jones didn't know that but that was so blatant.

 

[Raven]

Another record, Everton doing the double over UTD?

 

[Ch3tan]

Really poor from Jones and butner for that second.

 

[Olgaline]

Not much in the way of seeing Man.U getting back into this atm is there?

very different sense of commitment and urgency between the two teams

 

[Embattle]

Quite frankly when we talk about what a team needs to do during the summer I think Man U have more work to do than any other team at the top end.

 

[Olgaline]

And yet, it's the same team that won the tittle last year + Evertons top scorer last season + the top assisting player last season.

 

[CorNokZ]

"Sacked in the morning! You're getting sacked in the morning!"

I actually lol'd a little

The thing is I've said it many times as have others, they didn't look great in that year either just other teams failed more.

And also it's nice to see a table like this without us at the bottom of it! (just)

 

[Raven]

Both Liverpool and Shitty still have Crystal Palace to play who are punching well above their weight at the moment.

Maureen seems to be deflecting pressure away from Shitty by acting the cock and taking the headlines. Still Liverpool's to lose but I still think it will go to the end of the season.

• United are guaranteed to finish the season with their lowest ever Premier League points tally
• United fail to qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 1995
• United's worst home league form for over a decade

• Eliminated in the FA Cup third round - something which happened just once under Ferguson
• First ever home defeat to Swansea this term
• First home defeat to Newcastle since 1972
• First home defeat to West Brom since 1978
• First league defeat to Stoke since 1984

• First time Everton, Man City & Liverpool have beaten United home & away since Premier League's inception
• First time Everton have beaten United home and away since 1969-70

I still think it's smart to finish out of the. Europa league and to get the qtr finals of the cl isn't bad..

I think moyes should be judged on next season not on this. But I think last year Man U punched way above their weight and this year they were about right.. Four or so signings in the summer, lellana and shaw maybe. We can challenge again next year. After twenty four or so years of fergi was never gonna be a miracle child this year.

 

[Ch3tan]

You have to have milestones and records for others to break them callous.

Is there a stat for how often spuds throw seart fourth?

Badass from Berba (another angle).

Looks very much like this one

 

[Vladamir]

It's so good it needed to be posted again!

 

[Turamber]

If we can get shot of Lerner and his cronies and get a decent owner in this season will have been worth it. Very good to see the best footballing team in the division looking like winning the Premier League. It is very boring seeing those clubs with all the money and their sense of entitlement march to the title each season ... particularly when one of them (Chelsea) plays some of the dullest football in the league and has undoubtedly the biggest asshole of a manager in the league.

Feeling sorry for poor old Orient in League One. With their paper thin squad they were never going to last the pace, particularly up against a Wolves team still receiving parachute payments from the Premier League. Makes a mockery of the idea of competition to be honest.

 

[Rubber Bullets]

Apparently strong suggestions on Twitter right now that Moyes is on the verge of being sacked. Who knows?

 

[Billargh]

It's gaining a lot of traction atm like, all over lots of newspapers/talksport etc.

 

[soze]

The main reason he has the job still is his contract, it will cost Utd £40m plus to replace him in the summer unless Moyes walks away.

 

[Shagrat]

The beeb are reporting that it's going to happe, seems to be a very strong rumour that he won't be there for much longer

 

[Olgaline]

Being reported in Dk as well, but not before the end of the season

 

[caLLous]

I think there's a clause in his contract that he can get the boot at the end of the season if they don't get into Europe so I expect they would wait until that happens to cost them a lot less to get shot of him.

 

[Billargh]

 

[DaGaffer]

All the votes on The Guardian are for Klopp to replace him. Personally I'm not too sure about that; Van Gaal might may more sense as Klopp lacks experience outside the Bundesliga. He's been great for Dortmund, but I'm not sure he's what United needs right now; which is someone who can build a team fast and handle a big transfer budget. Plus it would annoy Daniel Levy no end, which is never a bad thing.

 

[Ch3tan]

It's not going to happen before the end of the season. After yesterday's hapless showing though, I no longer care. Even if he got the players he needs, he honestly seems to be unable to cope with the step up. He's not playing the basic stuff he did at Everton, and he's not playing the direct attacking style United have enjoyed under Ferguson.

 

[gohan]

It's not even funny anymore, it's a sad sad day when I feel this sorry for united...

 

[gohan]

No wait. It is still funny
