:lol: reckon LVG is in danger of alienating himself in the way Big Sam did with us by questioning the fans. You're defensively solid, but pretty dull going forward. Not really what the fans want to see!
Imagine if we'd have had Payet, Sakho, Lanzini and Valencia playing yesterday!

So the reason Bournemouth beat Chelsea was the referee.
The fact Chelsea spend more in an average transfer window than Bournemouth have ever spent, and that Chelsea's squad is full of international stars where as Bournemouth have only a handful of players with caps, has nohing to do with it. It was totally down to the ref and all those penalties he gave Bournemouth, all the penalties he denied Chelsea, all the red cards he gave Chelsea and the fact he let Bournemouth players use chainsaws to tackle Chelsea. :roll:
**** you Jose you classless ****. For once in your life try not being a complete and utter wanker and maybe people would stop enjoying watching you suffering so much.

Another crazy weekend of results, wouldn't have predicted most of them. If only Leicester had lost it would have been a 'Carlsberg' weekend for Arsenal :lol:
Hard to say what's up at Chelsea, but it goes to show how much confidence matters. I've often said that a tight lower league team could show up most international teams made up of good individuals, I guess this proves that theory.

This crazy season I'm starting to wander if Leicester have a chance let alone Liverpool!
At least I only have to sit through one more Man Utd game before The Force Awakens is released. :roll:

Probably best attacking performance of the season so far by Man Utd but that's not hard, but poor at the back and once Wolfsburg equalised we never looked like winning the game, that was after 13 minutes. Never mind I always get bored on a Thursday night anyway.
How many times have Man Utd been made to look average by average teams this season?
Oh and when are we gonna sell microphone head?
Players released, or forced out, by LVG in the last 18 months, Raphael, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Nani, Kagawa, Cleverley, Januzaj, RVP, Chicharito, Wellbeck and some bloke called Di Maria.
Definitely not a single one of them are better than Nick Powell, Varela (who?) or Borthwick-Jackson.
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION Pounds spent, to make the squad worse.
Good work Louis, good work! :roll:
Ps, Yes, I know Utd had a few injuries, but can anyone tell me that given the money he has spent that squad/team is actually stronger than last season?
Ohhh, but it's ok, cos they got further in the Worthless Cup! :roll: Yeah, you beat Ipswich then lost on Pens to Middlesbrough. £250 million of improvement right there.

Garry Monk sacked from Swansea:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34762862
Seriously? Where does a team like Swansea expect to be in the table? This madness of sacking managers after 3 months of bad results has really got to stop, especially when the manager has been there for 11 years and he got them to 8th last season, which is incredible with established teams like Liverpool, Spurs and Everton in touching distance.

I'm not surprised by Monk getting sacked. TBH I don't think he can have too many complaints. Yes, Swansea are a 'mid table' side, probably one of the better ones, and he has done a pretty solid job up until the last two or three months BUT Swansea have looked listless and uninterested in the last few games. They looked like a team going through the motions and that normally only means one thing.
The Board may have been a bit quick in sacking him, though personally I think he's had long enough to turn it round, but given the amount of money at stake with the PL rights deal kicking up a gear next season I suspect they thought they couldn't afford to wait until after xmas when they may well have been deeper in the **** and without the option of a transfer window for any incoming manager.
At least they have been sensible about it and already said they won't appoint Moyes! :lol:

The Swansea situation is a sad state but it's just the way things are in football these days, a change in management is the shot in the arm that club needs. The problem is in 18 months time they will probably be in the same situation and theirs a good chance Swansea will still go down this season.
Not sure about Giggs taking the job, but have to wait and see. Some of the talk about Man Utd at the moment is utter noncence by the media and certain X players/pundits who all got knocked out of the group stages in December 2011 with a team that had won the league the season before.
Van Gaal would never have been my choice as neither would Moyes so I have to say I'm not surprised that he is struggling, he's a manager that has always spent money wherever he's been or he's Walked into a ready made job and let's face it the Man Utd job wasn't exactly ready made. Everyone keeps throwing this £250 million spending spree around to throw wait behind their argument. Man Utds total spend since Van Gaals been in charge is £235 million. Take of the £95 million he's recouped in the sale of players and he's spent £140 million some of which was spent before he was in charge.
I can't say I'm happy with the job he's done so far, at the end of the day were boreing and on top of that we're starting to look dodgy at the back. All the players he's sold with the exception of Evans and perhaps Van Persie I was glad to see the back of, I mean have any of them been snapped up by Barcelona, Man City, Real Madrid or Buyern Munich. Welbeck? Really he hasn't played since God knows when!
Ancellotti next for me. :lol:

No chance. Bournemouth, Villa, and Norwich are all worse. Much much worse. Sunderland aren't a lot better, though I suspect fat Sam will have enough about him to keep them up.

Ohh the irony of a Utd fan using the "net spend" argument! :lol: After years of Utd fans mocking Liverpool fans for pointing out the exact same thing.
I do think you have a point, but not so much in how much he has spent, net or gross, but in the fact that during Fergy's last few years there was (relatively) very little money spent. Pre the Glaziers Utd had spent 20-30 million a season buying in one top notch player and maybe a couple of squad players or back ups. Ok, that figure would need to be adjusted for inflation, and then again for the football inflation, but it was a serious amount of money back then. The Glazers took over and decided that a better use for that money would be in paying off the debts they had hoisted on the club, and in paying them for the privilege of owning Utd. That meant less money for transfers and that the Utd squad suffered. I think even most Utd fans realised Fergy over-achieved massively in winning the PL in his last season. That was NOT the best team/squad in the league that season.

He's ruled out taking over any club in mid season. If the Utd Board had any sense they would be on the blower to Pep Guardiola asking him how much he wanted and then agreeing to whatever number he came up with.
Brendan's available! :wink:

What I can gather is Van Gaal has been given a target of finishing third or he's out at the end of the season. :roll: Ancellotti has ruled out taking over mid way through a season, but I take these comments with a pinch of salt in football these days one thing is said one week and the oposit happens the next. I'm not saying sack Van Gaal now, but I would say to Ancellotti the jobs yours next season regardless of what happens between now and May. I've given up on Guardeola, think he's scared of the Man Utd Job. :lol:
Van Gaal is retiring after next season anyway so why miss out on Ancellotti just for one more season of agony from Van Gaal.
Honesty I've never thought Liverpool as a big spending club, it's just the norm in modern football to spend £100 million every summer and struggle to improve. Especially when you have Chelsea and Man City shopping with small change. Part of me admires managers that have got the balls to spend big, Moyes didn't, but some managers don't realise the job their in until it's to late. The thing I don't get is the managers that spend big and are then surprised when the pressure cranks up.
Your point about the lack of investment when the Glaziers took over I've been saying for years, Fergie papered over the cracks after Ronaldo left and we've only won 3 trophies since 2009.

Third could be tight.
TBF, I can see there being only a few points between half a dozen teams unless someone pulls a run of form from somewhere, and god knows no one has looked like doing that so far.
I wonder would LVG get sacked if Utd finish fourth on GD and lose thier last game to a couple of horror refereeing decisions? You need to look at the points they get relative to everyone else and the standard of the football they are playing. Ok, he's ****ed on that second one. Proper ****ed. Things are bad when Utd fans are freely admitting a fat sam side is better to watch than their own team. But if Utd come fourth with a record high points total (for fourth), is that nt better than say coming third and being 25pts of the champions?
Ohh and as a Liverpool fan I think the Glaziers are doing a wonderful job. Long may those parasites continue to bleed Utd dry. :lol:

What I've heard is the board want minimum 3rd place to ensure Champions League football next season, it's worrying if you ask me that the board are quit happy to go 3 seasons without a trophie. Might as well get Wenger in as next manager at least he would get us out the group stages. I think LVG's day's are numberd to be honest, today he's said the expectations are high at the club. :roll: :arrow:
