Your support of the man who slapped us soft makes you sound like a battered wife standing by her knuckle dragging husband.

I'm going to PMSL seeing that feller getting sacked twice in two seasons. Come on El Presidente. Get the pistolero out and put this ginger divvy out of his misery.

except I dont support him but you cant sre that because of your blind obsession with hom
 
They dont seem to be doing very well.

But astonishingly, they have the same points as Juventus atm. I know, different leagues, but didnt Juventus win the league last season, and get to the CL final? Might have won it for all I know.
 
Apparently the chosen one was sixth choice..

Alex Ferguson has revealed that David Moyes, the man chosen as his managerial successor at Manchester United, was sixth on a list of ideal replacements headed by Pep Guardiola and four others, who were all "unavailable" at the time.
In his new book "Leading", United's longest-serving manager outlines the selection process behind Moyes' ill-fated appointment at Old Trafford, which lasted less than a year after he replaced the retired Ferguson in 2013.
"I asked Pep to phone me before he accepted an offer from another club but he didn't and wound up joining Bayern Munich in July 2013," Ferguson wrote.
"When we started the process of looking for my replacement, we established that several very desirable candidates were unavailable.
"It became apparent that Jose Mourinho had given his word to Roman Abramovich that he would return to Chelsea, and that Carlo Ancelotti would succeed him at Real Madrid.
"We also knew that Jurgen Klopp was happy at Borussia Dortmund and would be signing a new contract. Meantime, Louis van Gaal had undertaken to lead the Dutch attempt to win the 2014 World Cup," he added.
Moyes was sacked after 10 months at United but Ferguson defended his fellow Scot's record prior to joining the club.
"We chose David Moyes. He had been consistent in his job at Everton, had a good spell there - 11 years and showed appetite.
"Unfortunately, somehow it didn't work out for David. The process was perfect. It was a good process," Ferguson said.
Instead, the former United manager reserved his criticism for Moyes' decision to overhaul his backroom staff after taking charge.
"I'm sure there are things that David would do differently if he had the opportunity to relive his time at Old Trafford," Ferguson said.
"Such as keeping Mick Phelan (Ferguson's assistant), who would have been the invaluable guide to the many layers of the club that Ryan Giggs is to Louis van Gaal today.
"There is no point suddenly changing routines that players are comfortable with. It is counterproductive, saps morale and immediately provokes players to question the new man's motives," he added.
Ferguson also claims owners the Glazer family and then chief executive Gill asked him how he felt about the fact that Wayne Rooney was about to get a big pay rise by signing a new deal following protracted negotiations that took place while he was also linked with other clubs in the media.
The former United manager recalls: "I told them I did not think it fair that Rooney should earn twice what I made and (joint-chairman) Joel Glazer immediately said: 'I totally agree with you but what should we do'?"
"It was simple. We just agreed that no player should be paid more than me.
"We agreed in less time than it takes to read the previous sentence."
Ferguson believes the club is in good hands under Van Gaal, who finished fourth last season and has taken his team to second in the Premier League so far this term.
"He's got the pedigree," the former United manager told Sky Sports News.
"He's got good experience. He knows how to handle these things. It's going to take time. Taking over from myself it's going to take time to get his team on the pitch."
Like Ferguson, Van Gaal is often a prickly figure when it comes to his weekly press conferences, with the Scot saying: "I love his press conferences, I mean they are brilliant.
"Press guys twitching in their seats as he answers some of their questions. He's got the confidence to deal with that."
 
That was a very good 3-0 win away last night - Madrid only beat Granada 1-0 at home last weekend.

TBH I don't mind him doing ok with Sociedad, but I never want him back to Everton FC in any capacity.

As for the weekend, they are at home in the Basque derby and another win there will suddenly make things look quite rosy.

That stinks of Fergie trying to cover up his own mistake and keep his idiotic followers happy. I don't believe a word of it.
