But now after I have seen how a recently promoted side picked us apart, it's like they knew exactly what to do to beat us, they let us keep possession but they knew we would never really harm them. Anyone here hyping burnley as a good side are seriously missing the point, its not how good they were, point is we should have beat them even at their best, this is united last time i checked, EPL winners and arghh you know the rest. @<a href="#comment-77878" rel="nofollow">Stephen</a>: Please spare me the juvenile ridicule, do I want united to go down the pecking order in England just so we can keep our loyal old decorated players and watch slow italian football while at it, NO. If I wanted to watch old men at it i would be supporting AC Milan right now. But even milan seem to have realized old is not gold and are buying and bidding for young talented footballers. It's not about loosing one game, its the way we lost the game. Its the continued decline in quality, it the lack of a fighting spirit at the club, its the lack of quality players, its the sheer contempt some of the players go about their business.I'm now reading that ferguson is blaming the players, I can't believe this guy, He has the money to buy quality players but he shoves it up ... then has the audacity to blame the weak players he fields? You can't win the jackpot then keep your worthless hyundai and expect your hyundai to run like a ferrari just because you have gone up the social scale. And it's becoming pretty obvious pretty quickly who won us the league and the champions league, it wasn't fergie, it was CR7. Successfull he might have been but if his time is up, his time is up. This team needs some new blood, the football we are seeing would be acceptable from a new manager, but not from a guy who's been in the helm for over 20 years, and we know he's better than this, we all know this, so what could be causing the decline in performance, I say his spirit is gone, he's tired and needs to retire. Ofcourse we will watch the wigan game, and arsenal and so on, and support united even if they fall from grace, but as long as we have blind fans not voicing there disagreements and letting the board know of the dipping of form and sheer lack of fighting spirit then three, four years from now we will be competing for a place in the uefa cup not the champions league. Unless something is done, don't expect this to be just a bubble or slow start to a successful season, we are going to loose more and more games like this. Open your eyes mate. There is no CR7 suspended for the next three games, no CR7 out after an operation, basically what you know see is what you have, ther is no one coming to save us now, and its all down to ferguson and his stubbornness. About Ron,Yes, I'll say this and please feel free to criticize, if rooney is the player who will carry united forward, we are doomed. He is no CR7 and he doesn't even come close. @Craig Mc: I didn’t want to spark an argument with you yesterday about how i really felt about our tactics and general direction ferguson was taking the club, I figured we will still play shitty footy but still come out with a 2-1 win.
