45 minutes of useless Roma before Garcia brings on Totti in the second half and Roma remember how to play.

In Giuseppe Rossi we trust. It's just too bad Fiorentina only play like there's no tomorrow against Juve.

And agree with sohois re: Moyeezus transfer business. Certainly a case to be made for a marquee signing, look how transformative it's been for Arsenal (not to mention the copious amounts of drugs they acquired for Ramsey).

But - and I think this has been forgotten in the light of Everton's admittedly brilliant transfer business this summer - he regularly made some very astute signings. We should absolutely trust in his network and his judgement. The problem is that the media are on his case, casuals are on his case, neutrals are on his case, the less informed of United fans and opposition fans are on his case, and it doesn't take a genius to work out that if everyone else is on his case, then the people who benefit from any projected success will probably be on his case too.

Fiorentina is on in 30 mins. Forgot it was a lunch-time game.

1-1 or 1-2 to Viola

And Parma, for once, justify your existence.

I especially liked the serious suggestions of Di Canio or Warnock.

Francesco Bardi (Livorno) has made the most inaccurate long balls in Serie A this season, with 101.

Ole as manager. Neville as assistant. Scholes as first team coach. Beckham as marketing director. Giggs to get new signings' wives on board.

If we'd kept Phelan and Meulensteen and Gill, Ole would have done alright.

This is the biggest worry. I'm sure yourself and others were banging on about this after the game yesterday but it's worth restating: the players just don't look arsed. I've got no problem giving him time to sort himself out, become comfortable at this level and have at least a couple of his own transfer windows - preferably without Woodward sticking his podgy todger in. But if it is as it appears and the players are already losing faith in him and struggling to play for him then it's a long, long way back. Perhaps insurmountable already, even.

World class midfielder, no doubt.

 

[Kyoufu]

I'd like Cabaye to move just so those shirtless twats singing the Cabaye song shed real tears.

The only tears are yours.

<3

You should have bought Cabaye for 28 million, not Fellaini. Moyes pls.

That was the opinion of some brain-absent Manc on 606 last night.

His opening gambit was, "One word: he has to go".

I was in tears at this point, but it got better and better. He based his entire rant on the idea that Ferguson was up in the executive box looking down at him, and that he could see Moyes looking up at Ferguson and feeling the pressure from his glare.

Savage and Fletcher then told him that Ferguson wasn't at the match, and that he was in fact in Scotland.

The Manc responded with (after a protracted silence): "WELL I COULD SEE SOMEONE UP THERE."

I nearly slipped into the bubble bath for good and drowned in my own satisfaction.

I didn't have one at Uni.

Got a nice, clean tub at my London gaf, though, so I'd be a fool not to soak away the stress.

 

[Zabojnik]

Time to get comfy for the first half of Roma - Fiore, then penne rigate con pomodoro e basilico with parmigiano reggiano on top at half time. Mmmmm.

 

[L1NETT]

Right hassle. Time is short, why waste it sloshing around in your own filth.

Moyes says United can still challenge for the title.

Stop it David.

When?

After Newcastle he said he hopes to be near the top come end of the season

Is he a double faced snake? Did he have a meeting with Ferguson's hairdryer?

2-i

Great attacking lineups!

No guile, no conviction, no balls, limited energy.

"Drives the ball forward". To no fucking effect. Ever.

 

[Wilbur]

Arnie you've just had me cracking up in the car on the way home from breakfast. It genuinely stuns me how stupid some football fans are. Like, how can you be so passionate about something you're so misinformed about?

Some bloke in the pub last week following the Everton match tried telling me that Patrice Evra is without a doubt the best left back in the world, and he hadn't even heard of Alaba so how can he be considered so?

I just told him to get the fuck out of my sight. He took it in good humour. I should have said it with more rage.

This is the biggest worry. I'm sure yourself and others were banging on about this after the game yesterday but it's worth restating: the players just don't look arsed. I've got no problem giving him time to sort himself out, become comfortable at this level and have at least a couple of his own transfer windows - preferably without Woodward sticking his podgy todger in. But if it is as it appears and the players are already losing faith in him and struggling to play for him then it's a long, long way back. Perhaps insurmountable already, even.

I can't remember who made the point yesterday, but you've got players who have been there nearly ten years in Evra, Carrick and Vidic. Players who have been there for that time in Rio and Rooney. Players that have been there since before they were even a dirty thought in daddy's brain let alone a fully formed sperm cell like Giggs.

Young kids like De Gea who had the faith of the manager in tough times, and kids like Welbeck and Cleverley who will have known him since they were little. Players plucked from smaller clubs like Valencia and Smalling who have played regularly. Twins who could have been split up but have the pleasure of being in the same side. Older heads like RVP who came because of the success that manager could almost guarantee.

Every single member of that squad, just like 95 percent of our fanbase, know nothing but Ferguson. It's not particularly surprising that it's taking a while for a side to react after so long. It's just scary thinking that they haven't fucking bucked their ideas up yet.

 

[Arnie]

Listening now. :lol :lol

It's right at the beginning so it won't take you long to find.

Man is it fucking hilarious.

 

[Salazar]

That is one of the decent things about 606

Savage is a berk, but he will fucking crunch the imbeciles from time to time

You can hear him laughing in the background and he'll just not fucking budge when he encounters bollocks.

 

[Wilbur]

Need to listen to this when I'm home. Gonna plop Roma Fiore on and sigh at the downfall of mankind.

Moyes please

By CYRUS OMBATI

A man believed to be a fan of Manchester United Football Club committed suicide Saturday night in Nairobi’s Pipeline estate after the team lost 1-0 to Newcastle.

Police said John Jimmy Macharia aged 23 jumped to his death from the 7th floor of a building he was after learning his team had lost in the Saturday evening match.

According to Nairobi County police chief Benson Kibue, Macharia told his friends he could not stand and watch the team beaten in a row before he leapt down dying on the spot.

“All witness accounts suggest he committed suicide because the team lost but officers are still talking to those who were with him as part of the investigations into the incident,” he said.

Kibue advised the youth in the city to realise the English Premier League just like any other sport is a game and they should not be emotional with it.

“It is not the first time we are losing a young man because of the football in England, which is far away from us. They need to know that is just a game,” said Kibue.

The body was later removed and taken to the mortuary by police who arrived there. Macharia is said to have landed on his head dying instantly.

Manchester United slumped to their second home Premier League defeat in the space of four days as Yohan Cabaye's goal gave Newcastle a first league victory at Old Trafford since 1972

u know. alaba is not even a real left back. he started in the midfield. it was van gaal who put him there. i actually thought he would not extend his contract in bayern because that would mean he keep playing left back. he mentioned from time to time that he wants to return to the midfield.

on the other side... when i watch him play he spends more time in the midfield anyway.

I didn't laugh that hard from a caller in a radio show in a long time.

The passion in his ignorance is killing me.

I still have nightmares about this image.

Very nice from Gervinho there.

Very entertaing so far, Gervinho with them skills and an amazing save from the Fiorentina GK.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

How are you mate?

Just checked your profile just for fun. I'm surprised u only came here in May 2012. Thought u were here much longer.

I'm good thanks. I sweat it was earlier than that. I thought it was like March 2012. I remember posting about the FA Cup game against Leicester which was around March.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

He sad it yesterday.

Probably trying to keep spirits up.

Surely he doesn't fully believe that, at least not with such confidence.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

IMMERS

Who cares! Feyenoord is 2-0 up!

Quiche, my Paypal account has been completely deactivated, just tried logging in and nothing.

Think what I'm going to do is just wait for the next crazy deal over Christmas and bite at it when I see it. I'm going home for Christmas from a week on Thursday so my playtime will be limited then anyway.

Gives me a bit of time to complete shitty Killzone, too.

he'd make a great left wing back for liverpool's 3-5-2

 

[Tc91]

That call on 606 has to be a windup.

 

[mellz]

You should really watch Roma - Fiorentina, 1000x better so far than United - Newcastle.

 

[Clegg]

United have second worst record in the league for goals scored by midfielders. In fifteen games our cm's have only scored three. Only Palace have scored less.

Can see why Moyes was looking for a goal scoring midfielder last summer.

 

[WJD]

Gives me a bit of time to complete shitty Killzone, too.

It really is a bit poo. Multiplayer is okay, but I think I'm on the last chapter of the campaign now and don't really give a shit.

My god the fucking lighting is spectacular though.
