Unfortunately, it wouldn’t surprise me if they beat Liverpool. As we speak, Mourinho will be making plans to kick the shit out of Suarez. Of course, they’ll take turns to tactically foul him throughout the game so that eight players get booked as per Inter Milan’s shameless display against Messi and Barcelona under Mourinho.

No, sorry, it was actually a “defensive masterclass”. My mistake.

It wouldn't surprise me at all. Either that or you can also bet on a fair bit of "simulation" on their part. It was a big part of his first stint at Chelsea and I think he's purposefully knocked it on the head (mostly) for when it needs it for the bigger games.

I'm still hopeful we'll get the job done but I suppose time will tell.

I enjoyed that as well. I was pretty pleased with how Liverpool spent the money as well.... :D

Fair play to Liverpool if they win the league they've played the best stuff. I thought Citeh would win it this year earlier in the season.
It's been weird watching United fall apart this season. I look forward to seeing half that team axed but not sure that loads of new faces is the answer.

Guardian are reporting this today:

www.theguardian.com/football/2014/apr/21...ck-manchester-united
David Moyes facing the sack at Manchester United

• Manager a dead man walking at Old Trafford
• Rio Ferdinand voices criticism of campaign
• 2-0 defeat to Everton was final straw


David Moyes is facing the sack as Manchester United manager with the owners, the Glazer family, and Ed Woodward, the vice-president, in discussions about whether they should continue with the Scot.

United's 2-0 loss to Everton on Sunday was the latest evidence that Moyes may be best relieved of his duties and it appears only a matter of time before the decision is taken.

Should he go before the end of the season, which now seems likely, United may put Ryan Giggs in temporary charge.

As reported by the Guardian, Moyes has been under scrutiny since last month following the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. The chief concern for the board is how bad the team have played throughout the season under Moyes, with little sign of improvement. The question now being asked at the highest level is whether he is the right man to be carry out a £150m rebuild .

The club are determined to rebuild the squad this close season and the discussions between Woodward and the Glazers centre on whether a new manager should be brought in to drive the process.

When replacing Sir Alex Ferguson last summer Moyes signed a six-year contract as the club were determined that stability should be the best strategy to continue the former manager's supremely successful 26-year reign.

That policy appears in ruins, and Woodward and the Glazers will already be deliberating over who should succeed Moyes if he is sacked.

Borussia Dortmund's Jürgen Klopp, Diego Simeone of Atlético Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain's Laurent Blanc and the Holland coach, Louis van Gaal will all be discussed as the next potential manager.

In the aftermath of Sunday's defeat, Moyes refused to answer a question about whether the board continued to recognise this would be a particularly difficult season.

Yet with United in seventh place, 13 points from a Champions League berth, and staring at missing out on a Europa League place, the hierarchy seem to have had enough.

Speaking to MUTV after the loss at Everton, Moyes said: "We need to end the season on a high. We want to finish by winning all of our games. We'll do everything we possibly can to make that happen."

Yet senior players voiced their dissatisfaction with the campaign. Rio Ferdinand, who was not in the squad at Goodison Park, tweeted: "Frustration & disappointment sums up the season so far."

On his blog, Juan Mata wrote: "I feel very disappointed today. This is how you feel when you spend two weeks waiting for a game, getting ready for it, and then things don't go the way you wanted. It happened in Goodison Park and the truth is this is not the first time, as you know. I hate this feeling.

"What the Premiership table shows now is something that neither the club nor the fans deserve. I hope the next game comes as soon as possible because, as you can imagine, this bad taste makes me mad."
Actually, everyone is reporting it:

It's quite a backtrack on their promise of stability if it happens.
A lot of people seem to think Moyes just hasn't got what it takes & won't play a good brand of football, ever. Based on the evidence so far I think that's true. He's turned United really shit & unpredictable. Either way, roll on next season.

He should never have been given the job in the first place.

Who next? Benitez? :chuckle:

Pompey....having stretched their perfect run to 5 games today....are now mathematically safe from dropping out of the Football League.
Phew...
Oddly, because it is such a tight league, having been teetering on the brink 3 weeks ago, we could now end the season in 8th place :D

I'm pleased to hear that, it's rubbish being in the Conference. Some of the teams sound like places out of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, particularly Braintree.

What was I saying about Chelsea?
I particularly despite their defensive, pragmatic, anodyne, colourless, anaemic, cynical, one-paced, functional, tedious football.
I take it all back.

If I were Moyes I'd just fuck off forever with the cash. Maybe get a head transplant.

People like him can't stop working. I'd fuck off to the Bahamas or Monaco and never voluntarily lift a finger to do anything ever again. He'll end up managing Aston Villa or Swansea. Each to their own.
