-Liverpool win the league, going from 7th to 1st
-Man Utd finish 7th, having finished 1st the previous year
-Arsenal lose the FA Cup final, failing to break the 10 year hoodoo, and finish 5th, missing out on the CL for the first time in 15 years or whatever it is
-QPR fail to get promoted
-Leeds get relegated
-Millwall get relegated
-Altetico Madrid win La Liga, and the Champions League
-Barca's decline continues, with numerous PR disasters
-Napoli win the Coppa Italia
-Dortmund win the German Cup
-Ole Gunnar Solksjaer gets relegated
I could live with that
Would rather Chelsea won champions league, good for English football innit... plus helps you out with the coefficient. Some English players I still like in that team as well.
Throw in Sunderland escaping relegation too, the people's champions.
Can't see Arsenal losing to Hull.
Ashur, best worst bad guy ever. I actually liked him, none of it was his fault really.
Remember Spurs were linked to Moyes a few times, don't think the fans would go for it, would have thought Laudrup would of been linked more. RDM would still be a great shout still IMO.
Be fine if Sturridge is back and Lucas drops to the bench.
Been said many times but our lack of an out ball hurt us a lot. As well as Lucas being shit in that position.

saw this on twitter
Lucas was just awful, hopefully Sturridge is fit and we can reshuffle the squad around to play 4-3-3 with
Flanagan-Agger-Skrtel-Johnson
Allen-Gerrard-Coutinho
Sterling-Sturridge-Suarez
Sakho was pretty poor against Norwich as well, Agger isn't he best but I think we're a bit more comfortable with him at the back.

Is that the same dude who plays Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones?
they believe they can lure coaches away from the best non-hispanic league in the world. pls
It may be weird for english people, but the EPL isn't as attractive as marketing makes it to be from the outside. It has more money so it can sign great players and coaches but aside from money, in the football aspect there's much less quality than in Bundesliga/La Liga.
Also, Dortmund is a much more important club than Manchester United nowdays. Aside from the marketing perspective.
Have you seen the size of Van Gaal's head?
True story about Van Gaal:
One of my earliest footballing memories is watching the Champions League as a kid and seeing Van Gaal in the dugout. He frightened the living fuck out of me. Reminded me of the monster guy from The Goonies. Honestly I was uncomfortable whenever the camera would cut to him. Must've been younger than 10 at the time.
Manchester United managed to compete with Bayern Munich, which says it all. Can you imagine the faces of English football fans, people who'd seen teams continuously embarrass United throughout the season, as Bayern struggled to play with any sort of dynamism or intensity against them. Just weeks before we'd seen Liverpool go to Old Trafford and put on a footballing masterclass.

The stat that was posted before - the one about Dortmund finishing as many points off the top as United and still finishing second - pretty much kills whatever half-arsed argument you're going to raise to support this.

Most Bayern players hated. He sold Luca Toni, Lucio and Van Bommel lol. Ribery hated him the most.

Best thing about van Gaal will be him categorically telling Rooney to fuck off.

Haha, found this funny, all the united fans streaming past wanting Moyes out with someone shouting scouse bastard at the end. lol Perfectly timed, I assume they are talking about Moyes and are a bit dim as to the scottish accent.
Is it true Moyes has named a different line up for every game this season? Or is that common now? Used to get called tinkerman if you did that.
Jesus, do you have a stressful job or something?
Nah, not even close.
Game of Thrones day woooohhh.

So United bros who do we want?
Klopp is the obvious choice.
But since he won't leave Dortmund we're probably looking at Van Gaal or maybe even Simeone.

Pardew.
I'd welcome van Gaal. In Fergie we had a manager who it was his way or get the hell out. Moyes from the get go was way too soft and spineless. Do you really need to experience how awful someone like Ashley Young or Tom Cleverly is in person to get rid of them? It was nice and all that Moyes wanted to give everyone a chance (at least if they were English) but he should have had heads rolling from the beginning.
Klopp is obviously the first choice, then van Gaal. van Gaal has to be the favorite given all the rumors that the club was meeting with him in the past few weeks.

You should go for Martinez, might finish in 5th next season!
I'd love someone with drive to come in and clear out the shite, many can stay but so many teams this year have made no sense at all, can't have aimless players drifting about doing bugger all for an entire game. It became incredibly clear that half the team stopped trying and didn't care.

Based on your avatar, I would say you already have many.
I would have guessed that you were older.
Imagine if he came in and sold Rooney, then we wouldn't be beholden to his curse anymore, nor have to put up with his constant nonsense around contract time,mother more united fans I read the more it appears a very select few like Rooney and want him here.

Pls
No Idea what he's saying but he's the complete opposite of Moyes lol

It's coming, Moyes.
Is that someone using a Vita as a camera?
Points = football quality? then Argentina league would be the best league in the world, they have like 7 points difference between the first place and last place.
Did Manchester United park the bus against Liverpool, tho? I doubt they did.
You can say all you want, but from a football perspective, La Liga and Bundesliga are way ahead of EPL. The EPL can compete because they use money to put themselves on an equal level, buying the talents and coaches of the other leagues.
:lol
It is. Vita and death usually hang around together these days.
Kind of ironic considering that Vita means life.

Arsenal is supposed to activate Sebastian Jung's release clause of 2.5m euros, lol.

There is no selling Rooney. And so e just has to sit back and collect his £50m, or whatever the contract is worth.
That is hysterical. Live & Death & Moyes.....
That's Charlie Brooker ya doofus.
