Yep. Funny how meeting teams at a certain point of the season can make all the difference.
Absolutely this Duffer. I can't believe it's a Chelsea fan having to point this out to us. I wish this thread be left alone until after the match.
Defence being a cohesive unit doesn't mean individual quality is irrelevant. Vidic and Ferdinand were making so many terrible mistakes that they had become liabilities to the team. People were lenient to them just because of their past honors.
West Ham and Moyes sinking our season is inevitable, it's been destined to happen for ages now (much like Lukaku knocking us out of the Europa League, probably with an assist from Young) - nothing can be done about it, so we may as well go straight into being bitchy about the twat now.
What kind of wanker orders a half pint?
I once served him at a bar and he ordered a half pint of Guinness. Wish I’d have thrown it in his face
Even if he beats us tomorrow night, he was still a shite appointment who was completely out of his depth in the job. His comments are ridiculous now as they ever were. You need to earn more time, not just be granted it for the sake of it. Moyes could have been in the job for a decade and would probably have cemented us as the mid-table side he spent 9 months turning us in to.
With time Moyes could have done a good job building a new squad though. He has shown to be a better builder than coach. Although building for a midtable side is different than a top one.
We would if the team weren't so knackered. It'll be scrappy I'm afraid. Moyes needs to get over it though. He didn't make it here because he's not good enough. Mid table manager.
Why would he let us win... we sacked him with 4 games to go
Because he's shite. Mike Phelan's shorts could have been a better ManUnited manager than him.
Same. I honestly don't hold any ill feeling towards him; he had the job of a lifetime and he f*cked it up. That's punishment enough. But yeah... hope the boys do Ole proud.
I agree, should have sacked him even sooner before he got to waste our money. But its absurd to think he'd do us a favour, he probably blames us for almost ruining his career.
I like to bash Jose for his antics, but I never really hate him, just thought his methods are outdated. However this cretin Moyes is constantly talking about United like his ex girlfriend. He needs to get a grip and realise that his level is somewhere around the bottom barrel of PL managers. Him constantly moaning not given time, while his football and attitude getting shitter everyday. I shudder to imagine where the hell United would be if he completed his 6 year contract. We would definitely fighting for the title in Championship so this cretin can say he won his first trophy
Moyes won us the first title post SAF. Show the man some respect! Top manager that failed here.
Yeah we should give him more time to perfect his crossing tactic
. Seriously he looked like fish out of water here and since then he managed to fail in every job he got. Just read some news on his approach at Sunderland and you wonder how the feck he did not realise it is all his own fault. Must be really thick or arrogant to think his disastrous time in here is caused by someone else fault.LVG and Jose were not the successes that we wanted, but at least they tried, and at least they had the personalities that are needed at a club like Utd.
He had bright ideas with Fellaini, but didn't know how to use him. Mourinho and LVG built bigger things on his foundations.Yeah we should give him more time to perfect his crossing tactic
He did. Wigan is no easy opponent since they did beat City to reach the final. It may only be a one game cup, but it is one tough game.
My guess would mid table playing boring negative shit football, when we lost to West Brom that was my point of no return in wanting him out, gave up any hope of getting champions league football
I was at Wembley for that game, I can’t remember a single thing about it. Utter drivel.
Ferdinand was in the team of the season the year before Moyes took over. Being the defensive dinosaur that he is he should have been able to at least get one decent year out of Vidic and Ferdinand with Jones, Smalling and Evans as back up. The fact he couldn't with United being defensively terrible and dropping down the table like a lead balloon that year, highlights just how spectacularly Moyes failed at United.
Good pun
You know jinxing doesn't really work right?
2-0 win. Some quality crossing. Watching Moyes lift his first ever cup I think.
Let’s worry about winning first before relegating West Ham.
He built one decent team in 11 years at Everton though. That's not exactly a proven record of building new squads.
Moyes actually praises Ole and United a lot in the press conference but the media love to highlight the one sentence to mock him, because it could always elicit responses like the ones happening here and everyone is falling for that.
And the only good buys come from Moyes, instead of those technical, possession-based managers which the West Ham board likes.
