l think most Man United supporters know there is plenty of work to do and will be patient.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I can imagine David Moyes is sat in a pub somewhere, and has a smug little grin with an 'I told you so' twinkle in his eyes.....

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Not a bad attempt on the run

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

That is my first round of predictions gone down the drain. Damn United.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Very poor all round today, but apart from Herrera it is the same bunch as last year so nothing we didn't already know about.

Hernandez is not a 90 minute player and him and Rooney get in each others way, Fletcher is past it, Nani is useless, the back three are inept and have not improved although Blackett looks a decent prospect.

Rooney worked hard as did Mata and Januzaj was good at times.

De Gea was uncertain and looked as though he didn't know what was going on a lot of the time.

At least LVG now knows the real extent of the problems now.:rolleyes:

And they have put the match day programme up 50p. :(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

so according to Jamie Carragher Arsenal need a keeper, CB, DM and a CF :sleep:

And a miracle as this season unfolds.;):D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Wenger time :D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

They will need to improve though.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Ref was a joke, red card a disgrace. Oh, and use that spray to stop them taking half a pitch each throw in.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Pretty poor from Arsenal. I was losing my mind towards the end with the lack of creativity and sloppy passing. Still got the win which was needed but the performance needs to improve.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Transfer business needs to be tied up ASAP so everyone can knuckle down. there are flaws in the tactics. its been showing for ages, the square peg round hole position outwide is of concern but tactically its needed because of that all important battle in midfield.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Even Moyes beat Swansea in his first game. :D

Still. It's far too early to judge. I think there was a lot of hype around Van Gaal and so losing the first game has shocked everyone and made them lose perspective. People judge far, far too quickly on the basis of single games these days. Everyone has a definitive opinion on a player, team or manager after one result. I remember saying the same thing this time last year when the knifes were out for Wenger after losing at home to Villa. Also United's advantage will be in the winter months as all their rivals are in the Champions League or Europa League.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes there are definitely serious problems still especially in defence iadom but if l was a MU supporter my ire would also be aimed at Ed Woodward as the mans a clown compared to David Gill when it comes to the transfer market.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

In my defence I will point out that most of my observations in my last post are exactly the same ones I made all last season and even the season before. United won the league but did not play very well, the other top teams fell over and allowed them to grind their way to the title .

:notopic: does anyone know what that tiny on screen symbol is at the bottom, right on all Sky Sports channels?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

is it the activate sky sports 5 symbol?I keep getting it..even though I already have sky sports 5

---------- Post added at 10:25 ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 ----------

And agree...Utd's problems have been there even when they last won the league...just chickens coming home to roost...they won with a weak squad..merely as other teams played badly

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The heart symbol? I believe that is it the Virgin equivalent of the numbers on screen for catching streamers.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I think that symbol is to show it's a residential channel. The numbers that normally appear on Virgin were still coming up yesterday.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Wasn't having a go at you. Just the reactive nature of the punditry.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The answer is no because they are not in the CL and one suspects because of that scenario and Ed Woodwards lack of nous they have struggled to attract stellar names to the club.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Residential channel? Only seems to be on SSports and no others.

---------- Post added at 12:35 ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 ----------

:cool:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

People are forgetting Moyes has zero experience at this level. Everton are a decent side but United are a much bigger club and LVG has success at the levels United are used to. SAF brought success under the rule of fear and I sense Van Gaal will do similar.

OK so we lost the opening game but didn't SAF lose games too? United are playing an unfamiliar formation, had 9 first-choice players out and even though Swansea had injuries they played pretty well all things considered.

I gave Moyes until Christmas to win me round before I turned on him so I'm not going to judge LVG on one game. Anyone expecting United to win the league this year is setting their sights way too high. If we win nothing but manage top 4 I'll be happy for this season.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes mate. What I mean is it shows it's a Sky Sports channel that's being broadcast for residential viewing. Sky use the pint glass symbol for it's Sports channels in commercial premises. well they did as it's been a while since i watched a match in the pub. This new one will be to stop a residential account being used to show Sky Sports in a pub or club. I don't know if it's just for cable viewers or if satellite viewers have the same thing on their sports channels.

Re: Football Season 2014/15

More than happy with our performance.

If Liverhampton are a top four proposition so are we. :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I always knew Liverpool were a one-man team over the past few years but didn't realise to what extent until today.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

+1

---------- Post added at 15:20 ---------- Previous post was at 15:19 ----------

As stated before it is highly unlikely we will get top 4 this season.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

How much did they pay for Shane Long? Can't nod it in basically an open goal from 4 yards out!?!? Southampton did look good though.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

pathetic attempt at goal

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

£12 million Shane Long cost.:)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Liverpool were much like Arsenal yesterday. Everyone is a bit off this weekend. I wonder if what Wenger says about the World Cup is true. It's only a few weeks since the end of the World Cup which came just after a season in a league without a winter break.

Rod Fanni, that's not a real name surely it's an instruction. :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I think that everone is jumping the gun over Man Utd, I am not a Utd fan, but at the end of this season, Utd will be up there challeneging for the title.

I think the worst thing is having Rooney as a skipper - to much pressure in him. We know about that from the World Cup.

Its only the first game of the new season, so l reckong within a month Urd will be firing on all cylinders.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Arthur are Tottenham finally using Lamela?

:confused:

Not sure why that's funny. I think they'll use lamela and he'll do really well for them, sadly.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Spurs spent £30 million based on Lamela's one half decent season with Roma and in a hope that somehow they would get a player as good as Bale but frankly so far he has proved a unmitigated disaster and it would not surprise me if he is offloaded back to Italy on loan before the end of the current transfer window.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Or it shows United don't sell their best players. When the core of your team either retires or leaves for free towards the end of their careers (Giggs, Scholes, Vidic, Evra, Ferdinand...) the net spend is going to be high because those players need to be replaced.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

yes, Utd never spend money unless they need players, so different to the other clubs :D

Really wish we resigned Fabregas. One of the best midfielders the league has seen.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Why?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Liverpool I will support. In fact, I would support any English team in Europe apart from Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City. Sorry for going against the grain.

I hope to god we buy another winger after letting Nani go , I don't want to spend the rest of the season watching Ashley Young !!!!

l think it says a lot about some supporters when they cannot put their tribal hatreds to one side and support our British clubs in Europe.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Deep down I think most of us enjoy seeing the others flop. I'm not ashamed to admit that. For me, the days of cheering on all the British teams in Europe ended when the Premier League started.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Sorry Mr P but when Man Utd and Chelsea won the CL l was extremely pleased that they won it and if any other English side won it l will be just as pleased.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

bit of a catch22. we would all get annoyed if the CL top 4 was cut down

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I understand that, but it would take a few years of every team not getting out of the group stage for that to change. And let's be honest, most of us have enjoyed a laugh or two at others failure without it doing any damage to our coefficient rating.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
