    Smalling over Jones, but I agree. I also seriously doubt we ever see RvP as a bench player.

    Idiot.

    What are you talking about? Vidic and Ferdinand were at their peak so they were always going to be first choice and Barcelona came in for Pique and wanted him to be a first choice CB.

    Ferguson hadn't a hope of holding on to Pique even if he had wanted to.

    It was pretty tame imo.

    Stoke fans are either engaged in some kind of mass delusion or brilliantly aware of how to pressurise a ref. From the first minute they were screaming for frees during every tussle and ironically cheering when given as much as a throw in. I couldn't get my head around what they were getting worked up about.

    Stoke fans just hate everything. I think they even hate football.

    incorrect...He didn't "get rid" of Pique, Pique wanted first team football and we couldn't give it because Rio and Vidic were in the prime of their careers.

    As bad as the defence was today, there's just not enough chances being created for the amount of possession in the final third. Everything is just so slow up front.
    I'd take your hand off right now for 4th place. The injuries keep coming, the poor away performances keep coming and there will be slip ups at home, hopefully the rest of them continue to drop so many points too.

    10 years of hard work by Moyes being undone in a season and a half. Delighted after the hassle they gave him last season. Wigan 2.0.

    Bet they wouldn't mind being "stuck with Moyes" now.

    I am loving their decline.

    Oh I love it, fans turned on Moyes quick after all he did for them saying he held the club back etc

    Football fans are so fickle

    I couldn't believe the United fans who questioned the good Moyes did there

    I watched United v Everton in a bar in Lanzarote back in April with a gang of Everton fans. They delighted in telling me how Moyes was holding them back for years... I'd love to bump into them again.

    United fans have no high ground regarding Moyes. Some of our fans were having planes flown over the ground ffs.

    I personally have plenty of "high ground" over Moyes and am enjoying watching them go backwards this season after the way they carried on.

    wasn't there even more than that, I'm pretty sure they fell out anyways, no?

    I'm all for a Southampton win. Still think it will be between us and Arsenal for 3rd and 4th at the end of the year.

    I wholeheartedly apologise. Your reverse double jinx worked a treat.

    Well played, sir!

    Edit: Now, for some evening reading.

    Would prefer Spurs to lose.

    City and Chelsea are so far ahead of the other teams in the league, it's not even worth looking up.

    Have to agree, esp. with us playing Southampton at home in 10 days time time.

    Nice bit of distance even still compared to Arsenal (4) West Ham (5) and Spurs (6).

    Oh and Liverpool (8) :D

    Precisely, so tarring the whole Everton fanbase with the same brush over a portion of their fans talking **** about Moyes is equally ridiculous.

    Edit: To clarify, both United and Everton had sets of fans were guilty of deriding Moyes last year. For balance, I have a couple of mates that are Everton fans and they really loved Moyes and weren't sure about Martinez.

    True but I always like to see the leaders lose so the silly side of me is cheering for Spurs.

    Didn't see anybody tar the whole Everton fan base with the one brush. Some said they were happy with their decline because of some of the stuff that was said. You said United fans can't take the high ground. I can, plenty of us can.
