Pre Match Entertainment

The mock sympathy in unison on the West Stand Upper concourse as the television cameras zoomed into the faces of the distraught Manchester United fans.

Can we have that every week ?

Lots of smiling faces on the North Stand concourse at about quarter to three for sure

I was stood right next to the United fans when they played Cardiff a couple of weeks ago. To be fair they didn't stop singing until Cardiff got the equalizer, but I did take great pleasure from looking at their smacked ar$e faces when the goal went in. I made the most of it.

And then the missing kids stuff at half time, which was a touch sombre.

For me Moyes isn't all that and now he's getting found out.

Twas very funny. I don't know why United are so gutted about this season, okay yes they won it last time but it was always going to be a transitional season under Moyes + United's squad isn't actually filled with top class players, loads of great ones but few world class, Ferguson was they key to it all and now they need to rebuild.

I reckon they have only got Rooney, ang DeGea, that would get in any starting 11, ofCity and Arsenal

I think you missed out Van Persie.

I think you missed out Van Persie.

He's ageing now though. Still a fantastic finisher but not as complete as he once was.

Not on this seasons form, both arsenal and city have better strikers starting,on present form

 

[Lady Whistledown]

What did they pay for Fellaini, £24m?

That looked about £12m over the odds at the time, and it certainly does now. Everton must be killing themselves.

That is a ridiculous post by any standards.

That was Moyes giving something back.

Explain? I agree he's still a great player but also think he isn't as good as he was, not sure that's "ridiculous".

£27.5 million it was, astounding price even when you take into account Moyes being ex-Everton

 

[Wozza]

That is a ridiculous post by any standards.

Actually, heard it mentioned today that his goals/chance ratio this season is 1 in 6 = poor. Off-form at the very least.

Not as good as he was... when? When he scored the winner against Arsenal? When he hit his 30th goal of last season?

Form is temporary, class is permanent. But then a lot of our fickle fans booed on tuesday, ignoring the progress being made over the season in favour of some cringeworthy venting of displaced frustration.

Our very own 1 in 6 striker came up good today. Stats mean nothing about a game overall. Look up the posession stats for Southampton vs Aston Villa on wednesday. Stats give an idea but not the concrete reality in my opinion...

Giroud is better than Van Persie? Hmmm. Suarez yes. Aguero possibly - but he's getting much better service than RVP, who's had a disjointed season through injury & the managerial change. It depends whether you're looking at who's in the best team or who's the better all round striker.

I agree with your first bit but can't understand why you've mentioned the booing?
