liverpool are playing well I see it keeps it interesting ,

[les_taxi]

Liverpool were superb-I hate to admit:cwm23:

[Pete/London]

Tactics all wrong, absolute disgrace, not 1 shot on goal, sad to see my team in decline.

[Dedworth]

Difficult to decide who to put my money on for the next manager to be given his P45 - I was surprised to see Steve Clarke go.

Fat Sam or AVB I think

[Pete/London]

AVB may be gone before the night is over, trouble is who will his replacement be.
Sherwood,:doh
Freund, maybe
Cappello,friend said he was there today commentating.
Hoddle,:yikes:
Di Canio,have him for a week to shaft the players.

Hope Levy goes as well. :cwm23:

I think quite a few were surprised that Clarke went Ded. I think a kick up the backside would have been enough.

[tiger31]

its all gone wrong since they sold gareth bale

[Ako Si Jamie]

Spurs were like a kiddie in a sweet shop when Bale left, buying all those players.

As for the game, superb result and performance from our perspective which leaves us just two points behind the Gooners in first place. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Pete/London]

Spurs were like a kiddie in a sweet shop when Bale left, buying all those players.


Don't know who had the say on who was bought, but no creativity in midfield, bad tactical approach and team choice.
Also sold Caulker, no one knows why:Erm:
Looks like mid table this year, embarrassing.

I heard a couple of points on Talk..... this am

a) Different era then when instant success was not a requirement
b) Ferguson was a proven manager having broken the 'Gers/Celtic domination and won the ECWC with Aberdeen

Moyesy survived 11 years at Everton not winning a thing - if he is Man Utd calibre why didn't other big clubs snap him up ?

[les_taxi]

Moyesy survived 11 years at Everton not winning a thing - if he is Man Utd calibre why didn't other big clubs snap him up ?
Well that's true but he did turn Everton into a decent team,and I think he would have won stuff eventually.
The way I look at it is this,we have been in decline for a while.
Teams cannot dominate for ever,We have had 20 years and have become the most successful English team of all time.
That has finished now and like the great Liverpool team of the 70s/80s we have to start again.
So for a first season I can live with a trophy-less year or even a bit more as i have witnessed my team dominate English football for years and years.:biggrin:
Many of you on here will never see your team dominate like United did.
I said to a fella the other day,if we never won another trophy in my lifetime,i still have been lucky to have had so many highs.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

What is wrong with the officials lately, they have made some terrible decisions, most getting he offside wrong. Offside could easily be managed by technology, so going by the goal line technology we can expect its implementation in 3026 :cwm25:

Great NON goal by Newcastle yesterday. At the Liverpool game they missed a clear handball, and then gave a penalty that wasn't. :doh

[Dedworth]

£250m wiped off value of United in a month



The value of Manchester United has dropped by a staggering quarter of a billion pounds in the last four weeks.

Despite registering their first win of the year on Saturday, United lost three games on the bounce prior to that - for the first time since 1992 - and it appears to have been having a knock-on effect on its New York Stock Exchange share price.

The club lies in seventh position, ten points behind table toppers Manchester City and five adrift from the Champions League places.

The Glazer family took control of United in 2005 and the club floated on the NYSE last year.

At the close of trading last night, its shares were $15.16 each. The highest they have been since floating has been $19.34, on February 8 last year.

James Igoe, a Private Client Director at XCap, told the M.E.N that United face an uphill battle to finish in the top four and also then retain its massive fan base in China and the Far East.

He said: "The club peaked in May when they won the league and was worth $3.1bn, the most the club has ever been valued at.

"Now though, it is worth $2.5bn, down 12 per cent in the last four weeks and 20 per cent on May last year.

"I have always been quite negative on the prospects for the club floating. Because they are going to have to have as much success in the next four to five years as they had in the past, say, ten years.

"I can't see how they are going to extrapolate that sort of growth. United have driven a lot of growth in China and the Far East and had a lot of success. I think the fan base is running the risk of being diluted by Liverpool and Manchester City."

He added: "At the moment it has become more difficult to have that faith in the share price when you are buying into the company."

Mr Igoe also drew parallels with Tesco's current situation.

He said: "For a long time Tesco was an extremely successful stock and they were able to exhibit that because all the share price did was go up. But then that came to an end.

"And last Christmas Tesco came out with a profit warning which had never done before."

He added: "If United are in threat of not getting into the Champions League that will cause serious problems. Often big advertisers who come on board will have pre-conditions and will only sign up if they are going to get into the Champions League."

Simon Reeks, Head of Private Client Investment Management at Midas Investment Management Ltd, said: "Man Utd is trading on a premium rating of 12.3x forecast Ebitda. At that lofty premium there leaves no room for error as the correlation between winning matches and the share price strengthens. Our view, is that Man Utd is a global brand that will go from strength to strength and if the shares were too dip materially further they should be bought."

You cannot afford to drop anymore points les & i cannot see you going unbeaten until the end of the season so for me i think you will be playing thursday night football in the europa league on itv 4

[les_taxi]

Well we can drop more points are not that far away, Liverpool drawing at home to Villa was worse than us losing away to Chelski - once we get Persie and Rooney back we will start putting a run together :smile:

[stevie c]

To be honest les liverpool always look like they are going to win games sadly man u just don't convince that they will win
As for rooney & van persie i don't think there partnership is as good as saurez & sturridge as this is the best strike partnership in the premiership at this moment in time

[les_taxi]

I think when they are back we will have a decent run :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevie c]

Not much of a comeback les, i think deep down you lack confidence in utd

You live in hope les, me personally, i think it's a little too late

[Dedworth]

I'm a bit disappointed with yesterdays performance. We should be beating mid table teams by at least 4 or 5 goals :biggrin:

no-one can ever accuse Les of ever losing his belief and confidence in Man Utd. No prawn sandwiches for Les :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[les_taxi]

The Domination is over i realize that, but we will need to rebuild to make a challenge on titles in future, so not expecting anything for a couple of seasons, but as long as we try to battle for fourth spot which with a decent run we could get then that will do.
can't expect more than that in Moyes first season with some rubbish to get rid of and his two best players missing.

[KeithD]

Never mind the top of the table, the bottom 2/3rd's looks like a minefield for all the teams involved :omg:

Top 4!!!! Not even top 5 now. Out of league cup, out of FA Cup, this will mean no european football next season. Big players will not want to sign, your best players are getting old. The younger players have put you where you are now.
37 - 40 million for Mata, yes he is a good player but way way over the price for the guy. Desperation and panic is setting in.
Rubber of the green....... Man U have had their fair share, Rafael should have been sent off for the worst tackle i have seen all season, only got a yellow against Chelsea and i rest my case after reading this today

I know lots of Liverpool, city Chelsea fans who are not from their respective towns.
Are you David Mellor in disguise!

Where is JoeBloggs ??

I'd like to hear his take on the Man Utd crisis and as a local he can tell us what next banner will be at Old Trafford :biggrin:

[les_taxi]

We at the end of an Era, we now have to dismantle and rebuild - no-one goes on forever.

Same thing happened to Liverpool and now it's us.

Getting one of your best players is just what we needed and upon the big two returning we have something to build on.

Like I have said before, United and Liverpool have won more titles then the rest of you put together and if we win nothing so be it.

That can't be taken away and most people will only dream of 13 titles in 20 seasons.

Moyes wont be going anywhere, he will rebuild and hopefully make the right choices - I believe he will - time will tell.

[les_taxi]

Yes no one can compete with the money they have.
Hard to believe not long ago they were 2 divisions lower!

[Dedworth]

Just a word of caution Les - the Scousers rebuilding / transition has been going on for 24 years and they're still no closer to winning the Premiership :biggrin:

[les_taxi]

They are a decent side now but they have chopped and changed managers and had some right turkeys
We will stick with Moyes and he will rebuild

[stevie c]

I think moyes is average & out of his depth at man u

[les_taxi]

Worse was said about Sir Alex's early days :yikes:

[tiger31]

80/1 down to 33/1 for the quadruple looks like a few people have the confidence that city can do it :smile:

[tiger31]

Bad news Tiger, if we win today we will be only 6 points from being top of premiership :icon_lol:
Get saving :biggrin:

bad news les your only 14 points off the top no YOU get saving :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

[les_taxi]

Ha ha only 6 points off 4th place get saving Tiger :biggrin:
Now we are out of 2 cup competitions we can rest players and we will have Rooney,Persie and Matu available soon:xxgrinning--00xx3:
As for city winning the quad not a chance,only one team has one 'The treble' (big 3 to Liverpool fans)and of course that was united.

[KeithD]

You can't judge Moyes on half a season, a manager needs at least 18 months to put his own team together, although most do not get that long.

A lot of people seem to be blaming the manager, and yet he has been using Fergie's team, and they are the ones playing crap. They proved the other night that they can't even get the ball on target during a penalty shootout. :doh

[stevie c]

Moyes does not know how to get the best out if fergies players for some reason they dont seem to want to play for him they are all over the place
Les you cannot blame injuries look at arsenal when they had no wilshere no walcott no podolski they were & are still top of the pile it is a squad game so blaming injuries just dont wash

[les_taxi]

Of course it washes, when you missing two top strikers
It makes a huge difference!
If you have decent midfield scorers you can get away with it.
We used to get goals from all over the park.
As if the players don't want to play for Moyes lol
They enjoy win bonuses Steve!
Keith is totally right
Give the guy til end of next season let him build his own team.

[stevie c]

Les you still have two top strikers in wellbeck & hernandez or don't you rate them? Both international strikers

[les_taxi]

No, they are only average

Wellbeck still learning, hernandez is not the player from when we first signed him

The 8 games where Rooney and persie started produced 6 wins 2 draws!

[stevie c]

In all fairness hernandez doesn 't get a run of games always seems to find the back of the net when he does come on in my view he is a fantastic striker

As for wellbeck i believe he is pass the learning stage ie played champions league, played at international level premier league winners medal i would say that takes him pass the learning stage

[les_taxi]

Hernandez is more super sub category
Wellbeck is average
Rooney is quality
Van persie world class

[stevie c]

Imo if rooney & hermandez each played 30 full games for untd in a season i would put my money on hernandez to score the most goals

[KeithD]

Wayne Rooney is in new contract talks. With ManU a bit buggered at the moment they are probably going to have to give him anything he asks for.

[les_taxi]

I would put my money on Rooney to be more effective.

He has been great in the games he has played.

No one in the United side would outscore persie.

He won us the title on his own virtually as manchini comments.

Getting matu is a great buy
Someone to build a new team around.

[stevie c]

Mata i very good player but not worth the 37 mil being quoted
But have to disagree with you on rooney herbandez is an natural out & out goalscorer something rooney isn't hence why the great fergie was playing him in a central midfield role last season

[les_taxi]

Steve you won't find a man utd fan out there who would play hernandez over Rooney

[stevie c]

I beg to differ there les goals win games

[les_taxi]

I like hernandez don't get me wrong but as Alan green said on 5 live he is less effective when he starts a full game

Rooney contributes far more to us winning games
Why has Rooney be rated so well for a season and a half
Just look at stats Rooney playing or hernandez
Getting bored of this one now

Let's agree to differ.

[stevie c]

Yep we beg to differ

But what i cant understand utd fans are moaning they have no rooney or van persie but moyes still doesn 't start with hernandez just find it baffling that you are struggling & you don't play an out & out striker

[les_taxi]

Ferguson did not start him either!

It's possible he plays off a target man - we dont have one

I'm not moaning as said before our domination is over
Time to rebuild

[stevie c]

No fergie didnt play him but the difference being you wasnt struggling under fergie

[les_taxi]

The team needs rebuilding. Sir Alex knew when to go, also fine line between doing ok or rubbish as we are now, if Rooney and Van persie had been playing we would be on same points as the Scousers I reckon.

[KeithD]

.....if Rooney and Van persie had been playing we would be on same points as the Scousers I reckon.

Bootle FC :Rasp: :biggrin:

[tiger31]

:yikes: bad news les oh dear lol

Thats a distinct possibility:doh
I will be disapointed not to finish 4th (not over yet) but as i said before and like what happened to arsenal,Liverpool etc you have to rebuild and forgo trophies for a while
It is a shocker at the speed at which we have surrended our power but again the cracks were there last season and The great sir Alex knew that.
We have some awful players and that need to go in the summer,and then lets see how we can build next season.
i think we will be back up there but never to the domination of the last 20 years which no team-even Liverpool never achieved

As a Man utd fan tho i have to say that one of the most exciting,attacking teams to watch is Bloody Liverpool and do i not like that lol
Just being honest,but how can we stop city-so much money that they can just buy anyone they choose:NoNo:
