I'll go nuts if Arsenal don't beat Man Utd on Wednesday.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

This is still basically the same team that threw away an 8 point lead with just six games to go two seasons ago. The team wasn't good enough even then.

Buying RVP and other teams ineptitude allowed United to win last season, this team would have been just a poor under Fergie this season.

Would you get rid of Moyes and also what would you do hyperthetically if you was in charge iadom?.

Well just count to ten and your wishes might come true dear chap.:D

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Certainly not, he was gifted a side that needed a major overhaul in several positions. That much has been very clear for at least two seasons, even longer if you think about any attempt to replace Paul Scholes. That will go down in my book as one of Fergies biggest mistakes, far bigger than Djemba Djemba, Veron, Kleberson et al.:rolleyes:

I tend not to do 'hyper' ;) but hypothectically there is not a lot one could do other than keep plugging away ATM, you have to play the cards in your hand and at the moment there isn't a lot of room for manoeuvre.

The next couple of transfer windows will be crucial though so for the time being it's steady as she goes.

Ideally the share price will drop so low that the Glazers get cold feet and sell out to another oil rich sugar daddy.:D

Either United will turn their season around and Arsenal will collapse or Arsenal will recover and add to the woe for Moyes. Either scenario is just as likely atm to be honest. Doubt it will be a draw.

Moyes was some figure at Everton, one to be feared. Fergie was in another league at Utd but you'd have thought Moyes would carry over some of that fear to Utd but apparently not with the amount of players giving him digs

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

It's hard to fear a manager who has won nothing and is totally inexperienced/ineffective at the highest level.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

It's hard to fear anyone when you're an elite athlete on tens of thousands per week.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

But most of the players having digs have left or are more than likely going to leave, many players had a dig a Fergie after they left, big time in one or two cases.;)

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Yeah too many players who can't adapt to the new manager. Just kick them out and get new ones. The manager is more important than the team, it's not as if these moaning players are bring that much to the team anyway. I do wonder what Sir Alex was doing buying players such as Zaha when he knew that he wouldn't be the dugout however.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

No player is bigger then the team as some found out when Fergie was there.

Chelsea draw at West Brom. Wenger needs to steamroll Man Utd tomorrow. His record sucks considering the amount of games he 'should' have won!

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Actually his record against teams we should beat is very good, especially this season, it's the record against the hard teams in England we do badly in. Although ironically we do quite well against big teams in Europe. :confused:

Not looking forward to tomorrow. We just seem to lose it when we play against United. Wouldn't be surprised for them to win tomorrow, lots of stuff about how Moyes has turned the corner, only for them to lose again at the weekend. Basically like last time we played them. :rem:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

He's let slip a bit much there, I think the owners and him would be delighted to do an arsene, champions league every year and win bugger all, whilst all the time keeping transfer spending to a minimum.

These lot don't deserve to wear the shirt. Its as simple as that. Wenger too. They all had to earn it this season, thats how the fans entered the season and although the season isn't yet over I just cannot see these changing it now. Ox is used in the middle of the park, a game in which that needs pace like at Anfield. Utd nearly took 3pts. Its incredible.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Where there is hope there is glory.:D:D

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Yeah a top 4 finish, nothing more.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

That was awful. No movement. No desire. Nothing.
The only thing that saved a dismal Arsenal was the sheer cowardice of Manchester United. I thought United fans were overreacting but that was the most pathetic performance I have seen from United at our place. The only club I have seen set out like that against us was Palace and we played much better in that game. United do not deserve top 4 with that level of cowardice and we don't deserve to win the title with that lack of desire. Looks like both teams will get what they deserve.

Pathetic game of football. Angrier that I was on Saturday.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Methinks you are overreacting . I thought United defended quite well, you can't expect a visiting team to go all gung-ho and leave themselves wide open. It takes two sides to make a poor game and Arsenal played their part to the full.:p:

If United were pathetic then Arsenal were p**s poor.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Yeah thats exactly what it was.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I said Arsenal were poor. They were awful. The only thing that stopped us losing was United being happy with playing for a draw and not attacking us. Liverpool will destroy us on Sunday if we play anywhere nearly as badly as that. We were as bad as we were on Saturday! Lazy and uninspired. It was shocking.

Yes United defended quite well but why are they playing for a point when they're 9 points behind top 4? United were Champions last year and now they're playing like a team fighting relegation that's come to frustrate Arsenal and win a big point. It was cowardly. Why on earth did they spend £37 million on Mata if that is how they want to play?

Arsenal were a joke and United would have won that game had they had any ambition to do so. Arsenal should count themselves lucky that they didn't. Tonight is the night the title went, the players clearly don't want it. :mad:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

No, they are playing like a team that is low on confidence, has had a run of bad results and tonight dug in and got a point away from home against the mighty Arsenal.;)

And they had the two clearest chances. It is only a point but that result will do more for United's confidence than it will Arsenal's.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Maybe United think this was a good result then. That's an even more damning indictment of the team. Arsenal were shockingly bad and United still didn't bother. The only real chances United got were from Arsenal's mistakes and still we got let off. United got a point. Liverpool and Spurs got three. It would have been better to try and get the three points than go for one. Any team that is in the position United are in now that still settles for a point is a team that has given up on top 4.

But whatever. If United are happy with that then good. I am just really angry at that performance from Arsenal, they deserved to lose. Players not moving forward, not making runs, just not trying and they could have gone top of the league. I would rather have lost that game going for the win that whatever that horror show was.

Liverpool and Munich next. They won't be so shy. This is going to a horrific month.

He signed Park for commercial endeavours.. fraud! He signed Amaury Bischoff, a totally useless signing when every man and his dog said sign a proper DM to win the league. I was actually hopeful Wenger is now turning it around. January went by with nothing but an injured player. His tactics are starting to go stale again.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Doesn't seem relevant, it's not going to be a proper league, basically the only thing that's changing is that up to four over age players can play for the u21's, they will play in the stadium and there will be a TV deal, which is probably why they want to do it, we had competitive reserve leagues with the combination leagues years ago and we did away with them, this will hinder young players development as they won't go out on loan for competitive league matches anymore. Why do you think it's a good idea?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I agree, the Premier league have obviously decided that there's not enough football being broadcast and are intent on milking every last drop of revenue out of clubs on their books whatever the cost. Young players should be nurtured and developed away from the spotlight of mainstream broadcast media. I don't even agree with reserve games being shown on clubs' streaming channels. Improving grass roots football? Blatant exploitation imho.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Granted it was good when we had the Combination Leagues years ago but are not the Authorities not planning to restrict the loan system soon so the top clubs can't loan out all the countless players they buy and if that is the case then they will have to play in something and as such l think we should give it a chance at least.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Or perhaps they won't get bought at all until they're ready for the move, why stifle young talent in a meaningless glorified under 21 league, at least with the current loan system, despite it's flaws they're getting proper games and experience.
