Big game for him against Sunderland

Be great to see Sunderland put them/him out, after having 11 potless years under him be gutted if he ever picks up anything, saying that City would wipe the floor with them anyway but another loss at home for them would be great

Moyes is an idiot who is Norwich/Palace/WBA level.

 

[bicycleheader]

If City were to play Barca tomorrow I'd be backing City. Barca just look ordinary at the moment.

True, I'm worried about City but lets see where both teams are at when the tie comes up. I'll be there!

Pedro coming back to his best is a bonus, and today is the best I've seen from Xavi in ages.

That's hyperbole, like.

If they don't get 4th, RVP and Rooney will be off and they won't be able to attract the calibre of player that they want. There could be a long period in the wilderness ahead for Utd.

I hope so.

It's not right for any club to have as charmed an existence as they have had of late, and their downfall opens the door for our revival.

About time. Nice to see fans that have known nothing but winning having to deal with the reality of being a normal football club.

The problem is hes to stuburn to improve himself and evolve, all his little flaws that we could all see have been magnified by 100 at utd

He's a dinosaur mate.

I can barely still believe he has the job. The Glazers must be cursing the day they allowed Ferguson to push this through. The feller is hopelessly out of his depth at a club like that.

IMO, I think the owners have to be bold here and just cut the Gordian Knot before them. Either get rid of him now (if someone is available on an interim basis good enough and who can get the team galvanised) or the season's end.

Some redcafe bells think they're still on for 4th or 3rd. We apparently don't have strength in depth, but they do, apparently.

They don't even have strength in their first 11 in central midfield

Don't forget Vidic, Evra and Ferdinand to be replaced

Agreed. Apart from upfront when they have players fit I don't think they have a better squad. It's just Rooney and Van Persie take that squad to a different level - those two injured and it's all very average

 

[yelyah]

Come on Sunderland..

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

3 jammy goals for Chelsea today I thought

Eto'o is still rubbish. This result changes nothing

Some redcafe bells think they're still on for 4th or 3rd. We apparently don't have strength in depth, but they do, apparently.

Come the end of the month our squad will look like this:

Howard, Robles

Coleman, Hibbert; Jagielka, Distin, Alcaraz, Stones, Heitinga; Baines, Oviedo

McGeady, Mirallas, Pienaar, Deulofeu; Barry, McCarthy, Barkley, Osman, Gibson (may be back in April)

Lukaku, Traore, Naismith, Kone


22 players, not including Kone/Gibson and the likes of Vellios/Gueye. I see plenty of depth, with quality throughout.
