Mkhitaryan was all over the place last week that he was open to coming to Liverpool in the future.

The latest edition of Red Issue claims that club legend Ryan Giggs recently skipped a coaches’ meeting, later telling Phil Neville it was “pointless, as Moyes doesn’t listen”.

United Midfielder Michael Carrick is also reportedly unhappy after his wife Lisa told close friends that Michael comes home dejected most evenings after being forced to spend hours watching videos of Leon Osman. .

And the fanzine also claims that Rio Ferdinand has fallen out with Moyes after growing tired of being asked to emulate the efforts of Everton centre-back Phil Jagielka.

The reports claim:

“Moyes did not like being asked ‘how does what Jagielka would do have anything to do with how United do things?’”

This article is doing the rounds on twitter,United are actually worse than we were under Hodgson.

For added fun i added my own line into the article,Can anyone spot which line is completly made up.

There are different types of United fans, of course. I hope the ones that layed it on thick over the years are feeling the burn. The sound ones will be caught in the crossfire, but that's the way.

This may only last a few more months, so I'm enjoying it. I'm not entirely sure I'd enjoy a United slide into mediocrity for decades or anything, and that's not gonna happen.

Exactly.

I could be wrong, but I imagine the average age of poster in the soccer forum is between 20-25. Just a gut feeling. They've been spoiled rotten over the majority of their lives and some fail to realise it too, so I have zero sympathy for them lot, especially when they think what they're going through is bringing their club to it's knees after a single... just one(!) bad season. I'm particularly enjoying all the Woy defenders turn into Moyes haters not long into this season, let alone at this stage. As you said, what goes around... most certainly comes around, but one year isn't enough. Fingers crossed Moyes is given at least another few months at the very, very least.

That's the one thing I always remember from the hodgson days. How so many of the opposing fans mainly utd backed hodgson to the last, blamed Rafa for leaving him a crap squad. They wouldn't hear a word against him.

Is Woy staying on as England coach post-World Cup 2014? Can't remember the length of his contract. If Moyes gets the sacked, they could hire no better man to take the reigns.

Roy would probably do better with that squad in fairness.

The EVERTON manager gets the MAN U job and makes a bags of it. Sorry, but it's poetry.

11/4 Rodgers does seem quite generous. Do they usually give it to the manager that wins the league? I mean even if Chelsea or City win the league, I think us finishing in the top three would be a bigger achievement.

He was 9/2 the other day, think Mourinho is the only danger and that's only if they win the league. Even if they do win it, Rodgers has to still have a very good chance.

In short, whoever wins the league will win it really. Only slight chance of this not happening is Liverpool finish runners up by the narrowest of margins, Rodgers might win it then.

Not true.

Pardew won it in 2012 with Newcastle.

Hodgson (yes him) won it in 2010 with Fulham.

Steve Coppell won it and he was in the Championship.

Then year is very different though, there are 4 teams still very much in contention for the title.

Sure, if we go by past years, Pulis at 16s with BV is worth a punt.

Think BR is a shoe in for the award myself,

Mourinho or Pellegrini are both expected to win the league anyway.

Wenger is the good bet, but Arsenal will sure fall apart next few weeks.

MOTD HD Highlights

Yeah I would have thought the award will go to the manager whose achievement is seen as the most outstanding. No matter what happens I don't think anyone will run away with the league so Rodgers taking a team that from seventh to top three would surely be the one you would pick. I also think the angle of him being seen as this young upcoming British manager will be something that the premier league will be keen to promote over other options. (The recipient is chosen by a panel assembled by the league's sponsor (currently Barclays) and is announced in the second or third week of May).

Flanagan along with Gerrard and Suarez makes the ESPN team of the week.

I have to admit he was lucky to stay on the pitch yesterday but the lad was a warrior for the team from start to finish.

ESPN team of the week

“He's 21 physically, and 30 mentally.” High praise from Marcotti in the direction of Liverpool’s Jon Flanagan. According to Gab, the youngster “gobbled up Juan Mata, Robin van Persie, Adnan Januzaj and whoever had the temerity to cross his path,” and managed to maraud forward with intelligence -- a part of his game Mariner was particularly impressed with; our pundit calling his attacking involvements those akin to a “veteran” full-back. Managing to keep his enthusiasm in check after a series of early challenges, Flanagan’s flank remained watertight all afternoon long.

As for feeling sorry for 'them'...not a f*cking chance. We endured their sh*te through Hodgson, listened to them try and run down Kenny and what he did when he came back to the club, and belittle 'The Rodgers' so I am revelling in everything that's happening to them now....and even more so in the fact that the posters who once had opinions on everything Liverpool related are nowhere to be seen...it's f*cking glorious..

Speaking of 'The Rodgers', what with the date yesterday being March 16th and the wrasslin' theme of this thread, I'm surprised no one had prepared an Austin 3:16, King of the Ring 96 style post in light of our victory. Disappointing and a chance missed.

It's a nice life lesson for the youngsters that nothing is forever. Celebrate the good times and get through the bad. In the rough times you really get a look at people's personalities, maybe those who are solid Utd fans and have the rare gift of a bit of perspective, for many others it is refreshing to see them struggle with the recent realisation that United are not invincible.

Fergie was the club, his exceptional personality got so much more out of players than they knew they could give. Even with a new man in they have burdened themselves with Rooney, got an ageing RVP and practically no midfield or defense to speak of. Not only is Moyes not up to it (as per Hodgson) he inherited an ageing squad in need of a major overhaul (as per Hodgson).

Right now, as of this season I can't think of a single player United have that I´d take over one of ours. De Gea? Not convinced although Ming has had his problems. RVP at his age...I'd keep Sturridge, Rooney? I honestly would rather have Sterling given his age and wage demands. They have nothing in mf, literally nothing to envy and across the back 4 nothing either. Possibly Rafael or Evans, but it's touch and go for me.

Cant remember the last time even 3 of 4 of ours would get into their side. I honestly don't think it's all Moyes...RVPs age and motivation are a big factor, he won that league for them last year. Rio and Vidic being fit and mobile and one of the leagues best pairings seems to have blown up in an incredibly short time..fitness and form gone. Big signings needed in there.
