Yep, he's at the right club.

When I heard he'd said that I thought exactly the same thing. It'll end in tears and probably sooner than most think.

They scored one decent goal imo the other 3 were flukey or piss poor defending to enable them to score a good team would outscore them by a ratio of 3/1 imo.

No no Gillie, its only against us that teams defending is poor when we score.

Rags goals were world class. The papers even had the cheek to call Di Maria's shot a "defence splitting" pass when he scuffed it straight to Mata who scored.

I really can't wait for them to play a decent team and see what excuses they come out with when they get "trounced"!

If they had hand picked a team & manager to turn up on the day, I'm struggling to think of anyone who could have been a better choice.

Burnley perhaps, but Burnley would have most likely been up for it even if their defenders are poor. A team managed by Harry Redknapp with Rio Ferdinand at centre back. The pre match will have been: ' alright lads I know we can't expect to get anything here, but...'.

Ah, that'll be the same Burnley that they failed to beat two weeks (and 100 million pounds) ago. Snigger.

You are absolutely right about QPR. "...but make it look like you give a shit. You'll all get your bonuses whatever the result, wink, wink, twitch, have another brown envelope Rosie..."

QPR's shiteness notwithstanding, it pains me to agree with others who thought the rag attack looked good. whether they actually are that good won't matter b/c other clubs will now be scared and more likely to roll over for the cunts.

Just wondering what the take was on Butthead's performance since he's took over? This has surely got to be one, if not thee, worse start to a PL season for them and I'm sure even Gollum won a couple of games at the start.

Some new records to go with last seasons all-time lows and I'd be interested to see what the usual Rag rimming media make of it.

I can give you my take, for what little it is worth, chief.

I think he has been fucking marvellous so far. One win in five versus some of the "lesser" teams, losing 4-0 at a third division team in the cup, not to mention 300 million quid* spunked on luxuries they did not need. And the first time they have conceded five goals to Leicester City since 1930, and so close to the 25th anniversary of the Maine Road 5-1 as well, so it is clearly something they enjoy.

Cracking stuff.

They were in the top six this time last season, weren't they?

LVG is continuing in the glorious footsteps of Moyes with regards to setting new 'firsts' for the RAGs:-
- Sunday's game according to the Mail saw them throw away a two goal advantage to lose for the first time in their entire Premier League history of 853 matches,
- It is also the first time they have conceded more than three goals to a newly promoted team.

Got to hand it to them , breaking records every week !

PS.

I think i wrote somewhere last week after their big home win that they would be lucky to get a point at Leicester.

I was wrong.

Just walked past one of the vermin in work.....gave him a cheeky grin and told him that their defence is appalling.

His response, in true Rag fashion, was amazing......"Errrrr how many points have we taken in our last 2 games, and how many have you taken?"

I didn't say owt, just laughed my cock off at him and walked away.

He may be truely deluded and believe that Leicester and QPR are better than Arse and Chelsea, who knows
"If we fire our manager after just one bad season - We'll become Chelsea"
"If we think we can fix the problem by buying expensive players - We'll become City"
"If we remember the good times to entertain us during the bad times - We'll become Liverpool"

So, keep calm and do it the United way


"We invest in young players, That is what we are good at — we’re not like other clubs who can spend fortunes on proven goods. We know that Manchester City are going to pay stupid money, pay silly salaries and all that. We can’t do anything about it. We concentrate on what we can do to try to bring players in for the right reasons. We invest in those who will be with the club for a long time, who will create the character of the club, who will create excitement for our fans. We are very proud of that and we are going to continue that way" - Alex Ferguson 14th May 2012

When do they play Arsenal ??

Whinger's men always lie down and die shamefully when faced by the Scum, so that fixture might kick-start their failing season back into life...........or, at least, that will be the media slant on it.

The Scousepool - Scum confrontation(s) might also be a bit interesting.
