Err thats pretty much exactly the sort of game changing sub Big Sam would make....look at his rotation of Maiga and Carlton Cole this season

nah, that's just a continuation of his 'no strikers' thing.

The transfer window has been a big fat nothing so far. Fulham get Dempsey on loan and Chelsea sign some 18 yo CAM.

Walcott is a loss but Im not sure England are at the level where any players absence could be the difference between them going far in the tournament or not. A bigger loss to the tournament would have been Rossi, but apparently his injury isn't as bad as first expected.

Sunderland are a tough side. A 2-1 loss away is nothing to be ashamed off, a solid result in the first leg for any midtable side.

I thought Sunderland were awful. United did well to lose.

I'm just loving this season. #MoyesIn.

Rumour is that he's being given £50M/£100M/£200M (delete as applicable, depending which paper you're working from) to spend this transfer window as the Glazers panic that they'll be bankrupt within 2 years if Utd fall out of the top 4.

And yet the biggest criticism of Moyes at Everton was that he always spent big money poorly. So it should be interesting, particularly as top players are now looking at Utd's league position and not wanting to be stuck without CL footie.

I was reading Utd fan comments elsewhere last night, and opinion now seems to be firmly turning on Fergie, not only for the state of the squad he left Moyes with, but also for the way he's put himself behind Moyes so that Utd's board are keeping faith with Moyes - with the suspicion being that they'll all wake up too late when Utd are well and truly fucked.

According to moyes, its all the referees fault...

Was last night's decision yet another time he's claimed it the worst one he's ever seen in football?

I liked Moyes at Everton for straight talking.. He stinks of desperation at Utd now, always somebody else's fault.. Embarrassing..

For the fans to turn on AF is a bit mad, he did win the title with the squad he handed over..

Proper united fans know the deal, we will take our medicine.

Moyes blaming everyone else, he's sounding like he spent a bit to long in Liverpool.

I thought Moyes was a twat at Everton, and I think he's a twat now.

I think Man U were managed by a whiny angry Scot that successfully manipulated the referees last season and I think they're managed by a whiny angry Scot that's failing to now.

I think the squad had flaws last season but had enough in it to make one push at the league, particularly with all the teams around them being the weakest they have been in years. But Vidic, Ferdinand, Scholes, Giggs, Carrick are all another year older and able to contribute less (Ferdinand in particular is a lot worse, he's been fucking dire this season), and the youngsters' gain in experience isn't anywhere near enough to compensate for that.

You're forgetting West Ham's big move for League One's Roger Johnson.. Citeh don't stand a chance tonight..

[kaosmark2]

I remember being impressed with him previously (I think) at Birmingham. However since that move to Wolves it has been all downhill.

[TheGayTent]

Johnson worked well in partnership with Dann - Johnson doing the old fashioned donkey work and Dann sweeping up behind him.

Johnson's ability isn't the problem (he's not great but he isn't abysmal), it's his discipline, the demon drink, his dedication to training, and his disruptive influence on the squad.

How many are "proper" though? The vast majority of their fanbase are glory-seekers who won't remember a time before Fergie.

The most scary thing in that article for Utd fans....?

Bryan Robson is at the training ground regularly, I speak to him regularly.

Utd are doomed, doomed I tell ye.

[eFestivals]

Apparently Vidic contract is up in the summer, I still think he would be a big loss as you dont want to be overhauling a centre back partnership over 1 summer.

his agent has said he won't sign a new contract at Utd, tho the wording was a bit "... unless you make us a fantastic offer".

[kaosmark2]

Vast majority?
