May the force be with all the soccer mods today. I'm hoping to be too drunk to post here. I've a feeling it's going too be a busy one

Neil Custis on Sunday Supplement

Opening scene is him stuffing his face with a muffin.


Seems to be ok with it all

Quandary

LVG getting slammed fairly hard by the Sunday Supplement panel today which isn't surprising considering Neil Custis is one of the guests I suppose.

That being said, everything they have said is spot on IMO.

Basically saying that LVG has been given every support from the club but has failed and should have been sacked after Stoke. Also saying that Woodward is not sure of what to do about the situation, thst he wants to give LVG a chance but its not working out and he is reluctant to pull the plug.

More worryingly they're saying that Pep wants the Utd job as he has strong admiration for the history and culture at Utd but he has not gotten any approaches from the club and is now quite far along in a deal to join City.

There's nothing really to suggest that this is anything more than speculation of course but it does kind of tie in with what seems to be happening.

Great excuse!

If you're giving gambling tips these things tend to be important. But anyway, I've gone for 3-3 in the prediction league ; see you in the match thread-enjoy the game and may the best scum win!

Went for a few pints for the Newcastle game and one of the lads said 3-3. If he put money on it, he'd have made a fortune.
66/1 today.

Media speculation about Pep. Where was the same media when it came to Martial joining us?
LVG saying a while before that a striker no one was talking about was someone they were after. No one got it.
Same media who said LVG had two games to save him job, the results were not good, LVG stays anyway.

They only know what they are fed, and when it comes to Pep, there is no club involved to leak stories or no reason for Ed to leak stories to the press.

The media have no clue when it comes to the manager's job at the club. The media just pretends to know to try and make it look they know what is happening. They have no idea.

I suppose all will become clear at the end of the season. Let's just hope we are not looking at a situation where Pep joins City and we appoint Giggs.

Today's game will be interesting to say the least.

Poor gary might be out of a job tonight.

1-2 now

Their defence is shocking and they cant seem to pass the ball.

Every game they seem to only have between 50%-60% pass accuracy which is shockingly bad.

Meanwhile Rayo bring on Manucho and Bebe is on the bench. Rayo must be the United flop feeder team

Perfect goal there ruled out wrongly for offside. The luck just aint with him.

There is more to it.

Their first choice RB is Danny Simpson. ManUtd academny product. Back up is De Laet, again not a academy product but reserve player at United.

Their LB was Schlupp who was on trial with United 2 years back but deemed not good enough.

Their first choice CM is Drinkwater, ManUtd academy product.
Their previous first choice CM was Matty James (He is injured now), again ManUtd academy product.

Is Sunderland not more of a retirement home?

1 hour of excitement left, then 80 minutes of misery, 10 minutes of hiding behind the couch, followed by an evening of disappointment. Enjoy the hour lads and lasses.

JOSE MOURINHO believes he will get the Manchester United job within six months.

The Special One has even asked his trusted staff who would be willing to join him.

Louis van Gaal is clinging on as Red Devils’ boss but defeat at Liverpool today would push the Dutchman closer to the brink.

Mourinho is liked by Alex Ferguson and there has been informal contact between the Portuguese coach and United.

Same team as Tuesday
We're goosed
Bench looks shambolic
Squad paper thin in any impact or quality

Peter Schmeichel pushing Gary Neville for manager, has not proven anything so far, just helped get Benitez sacked, which was coming anyway.

Giggsy11

Hopefully Fellaini plays as #10 and Herrera in midfield. If we play 4-1-4-1 like last season then even better. Our midfielders and defenders need a target man to bypass all the pressing and in our squad there isn't anyone better than Fellaini for that.

RobertKK

Mata will come on and be involved in a goal.

jayo26

Good to see Schmeichel challenging the other two goons even if he did waffle a little bit.

If Souness didn't keep butting in he wouldn't have stumbled over his words so much.

Definitely yhh i think they were surprised someone was standing up to them. I hate pundits that dont argue their point.

Schmeichel is a great man for talking a lot without actually saying anything of substance.

What i got from him talking about Herrera is that he likes Herrera but he dosnt like Herrera?

This, talking utter bile. Carragher & Souness handing him his arse.

Fellaini starting is a disgrace.

tinofapples

Toure and Sakho at centre half and Mignolet between the sticks, fancy getting something from that although they'll attempt to swarm the middle.

madcabbage

Rooney hasn't scored since 2005 at Anfield? Hopefully he can change that today.

Lucas has been involved in 3 incidents and no card yet. Had it been our afro man he'd have seen a coloured card !!

J. Marston

United players look like they're running in a bog. Insanely slow.

As an attacking force at the moment we are quite rubbish

Lingard needs to come off, Mata on. He has been non existent first half

Lingaard in my opinion isn't good enough to play for united.

Right now I will take a draw, we have been absolute rubbish again.

We're pretty rubbish in general.

I hope he takes Fellaini off, the guy excels at literally nothing. I can see him taking Herrera off though who has been pretty poor tbf for Mata.

Maximus Alexander

United look shockingly disorganised. Would surely be one or two behind already against decent opposition.

Our only outlet at the minute. If anyone thinks fellaini is bad just look at schnederlin, he has been worse.

Biggest culprit is Darmian. He was awful and out of position for every attack. Wandering in the center midfield position and leaving LB slot open.

Good that he is shifted to RB but apart from first few games he looked awful in most.
