We are the more talented squad. If we come out and play well from the first minute we should win.
I don't think we are going to hold back. The boys will be up for it.
--------GIROUD
SANTI-OZIL-GNARBY
---ARTETA JACK
GIBBS KOS PER SAGNA
wouldn't be surprised if Rosicky started instead of Santi.

Hoping Fulham frustrate the life out of Liverpool tomorrow.
I suspect we'll draw, just like we did against Chelsea after losing to City. a "good" result, only because it's not a rout even though one point is not good enough. not a bounce back but not another disaster either.

Genuine question, did you think you had the more talented squad last season? Bearing in mind that you've both only really strengthened with one player, Ozil and Mata, and neither has lost anyone
I'm hoping that the point against Utd, coupled with being at home, will mean that they come at us a little bit and let us get in behind them.
They'll probably park the bus though
serious question, why are Barcelona so cheap with transfers (not counting Nerman)? the have needed defenders for like 3 seasons now

Ha.
So Man Utd wouldn't have had a chance even if they'd asked.
Think an early goal is a necessity tomorrow. Not sure we have it in us to grind a win even when being frustrated.
City have no chance without Aguero and Negredo. CB is easily Barca's biggest weakness, and I wouldn't trust Dzeko or Jovetic to exploit that

You know what's bullshit?
The excuse that it's hard for Moyes to succeed Fergie. Such a shit excuse.The only way that excuse would be valid is if the 27 years under Fergie spoiled United fans to the point where Moyes would have to have immediate success. We all know that isn't true though. Almost every United fan expected a transition, with no titles, and only expected a top 4 finish. People weren't expecting titles because of the difficulty to succeed Fergie.
Moyes has also had the backing of the club and the fans. The fans still sing his name to this day despite his performance being shit. He's only getting shitted on online and among conversations between fans. There's still fans that want to give him time due to Fergie's speech and falling in love with the idea that United are different from every club because they give managers time.
You know who had it harder? Rafa, that fat fuck. He had no pre season, no summer transfer window, acquired the 6th placed PL team that was in 3rd, and had fans shitting on him from day one. That Chelsea squad wasn't even better than this current United squad. Even after all this he still got Chelsea to finish 3rd, and win the Europa League.

They want to develop Bartra instead of buying talent. Its a philosophy thing. But they will buy a CB this summer.
Look at Messi
Probably cooking for his mistress the cunt.
It's the same squad but I think they are playing better as a team this year.
The back line is more stable. Szhh has had a complete 180. Jack is playing better. Giroud as well.
Last season we should have beat them at home but another dumb individual mistake cost us the game. Aside from the Liverpool game, we have made very few individual mistakes. They killed our season last year.
Flamini is suspended but he has definitely improved our squad.
Talented was probably the wrong word. I think right now we have the better squad, factoring in current form and them having a shit manager.

Please, don't re-write history. Mourinho was at home crying, contemplating putting on Hybrid Theory, as he got the news that he wouldn't be allowed to take over an the aging average squad.

sounds like bs
That didn't stop Barcelona from buying Nerman instead of giving Deulofeu a spot in the first team.

The relationship between Barca and defenders is the equivalent of the relationship between United and midfielders. Barca use midfielders to cover as cbs and never buy them.

bet that's laced with hormones out the wazoo
Neymar was a marquee signing like Ronaldinho.
Holy fucking shit I'm legitimately giggling.
And I'm absolutely bollock naked so my genitals are hiccoughing around as I do so.
You can obviously write a mini-essay about the revolutionary undercurrent presented in a fucking three and a half minute series of bleeps and bloops. I'm surprised more kids aren't doing it.
You should be talking about that, not some glorified Olly Murs guff.
This is concerning me.
We need an early goal in this one, and we need to start on the front foot. None of that West Brom shite.

Yeah. Man Utd have declined across the board aside from De Gea and Young (obviously Januzaj as well) while your entire back 4 have improved (especially Sagna), Flamini's added steel that is much needed with Arteta having a disappointing season, and Giroud is doing okay just keeping the ball alive in dangerous positions, even when he isn't scoring.
Plus Ramsey was beasting until December, which obviously helped
A few of your players are having much worse seasons than they did last though, surprisingly, namely Podolski, Cazorla (up until the new year at least) and Walcott (injury)
At the very least, your squad has improved while their's has declined. The extents are debatable though
terrible movie
Exactly. Personally, I was ready to give him time, not just because its hard to follow Fergie, but also because he immediately identified the weak areas in our team that really needs fixing. But fast forward to the present and he still hasn't done that despite having 2 windows to do it.
But the main reason I want him out is that he and his coaching crew don't have any tactical knowledge. Under Fergie last season our football wasn't the best but in some games eg. the Madrid games, I was so impressed by Fergie and the coaching crew's tactical set up to that game. But under Moyes, our football has gotten progressively worse and we don't have any tactics apart from lobbing in crosses. Not just crosses but really bad crosses.
You have to play to the strength of your players. The talents we have upfront suggest that we should play and attack through the middle with the occasional cross from our fullbacks yet in a game against the team at the bottom of the league we kept crossing and crossing and crossing even though it was clear that it was not working. At some point you have to say "hmmm, this isn't working. We need to change this up. Instead we went on to deliver 82 crosses. WOW.
Its one thing to buy the players we need but we also need tactics when we come up against difficult opposition. My fear is that Moyes will be given the money to purchase who he wants but we will not be tactically modern enough to compete up there in the league and especially against the best teams in Europe.
Really, all Moyes has to do to get me to back him is to start changing our style of play, and tactics. Even if it fails, at least we will know why instead of this dogmatic adherence to shitty wing play with ridiculously over the top crosses to players who are better at other style of play. This really shouldn't be this hard.

@Arnie, normally I agree with you regarding the overanalysis of music, but Dylan has some pretty clear and coherent themes to be analysed, from my very limited experience.

I swear it to the old gods and the new. I fell asleep multiple times during the course of the film. The only reason I would wake from my slumber was due to loud gunfire or action scenes. This happened in the Cinema.

Agree with all of that. I think aside from the Liverpool drubbing we are in ok form. Not playing great, but still picking up the points. Man United though are arguably in their worst form in years. If it were at Old Trafford I would not be confident.
I think the boys and the fans will be up for this one.
Going top again should be a big motivator for the squad.
There's a formula to impressing jtb if you're really that eager:
Reject common perception of a critically acclaimed film + praise a film that's disregarded by the majority x obnoxious comment about Liverpool = s u c c e s s
sorry, the music talk wound me up

Ah finally. That part of the year when all Sportinguistas turn into Porto fans is almost here.
Is that the part when they become fans of champions?
I don't think Sportinguistas are there.

I really enjoyed Inception the first time I watched it, but it falls apart on subsequent rewatches and the novelty wears off.
