@Stephen: 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.

1, You now do not “admire” Ferguson regardless of the fact that he has in the past three seasons, won the league three times, Europrean Cup and the League Cup, because we have a lost a game.

2, Ferguson should “fucking” retire regardless of the fact he is the greatest manager in the clubs history.

3, He should take three of our most loyal and decorated players with him, because we have lost a game.

4, “He” not the Glaziers won’t spend the money, they are the owners after all and have the say where the money goes and all, because are you saying that he is an alcoholic and wants to “booze up” on a beach in France.

5, We won’t finish in the top four over Spurs, City becuase we have lost one game.

6, We need to spend £100m in Ribery, that will gaurentee we win the league, regardless of the fact he is playing for Bayern and they have two points out of a posible six so far.

7, Rooney is not a good footballer.

8, Fergie cannot go to the touchline and have a go at the player because he is “old”.

With fans like you who needs rivals.

I don’t care for the snooze football we have been dished up for a couple of seasons now, even if in the end it did win us the league. I have spoken up about this as well many times over. Our MF lack also. Yet I will be at Wigan, with a good bunch of lads, WHO TRULY are United til they die. I will be at all United weekend games, but I can’t get to the midweek ones now, living up here in the sticks . I find the kind of performances of last night, that we have suffered increasingly over 2 years now – heartbreaking and torture to watch. Yet, I still do it, because I have loved Man United since infancy, and for as long as they or I exist. I try not to dwell in the twilight zone of depressing negativity as some love to do, but hope for better things, and that goes for my personal attitude to life too. Yeah there are moments of tears, but far more moments of enjoyment in life, and I make choices to NOT stay in SAD lands too long. I also avoid people like the plague, who want to just live in the crippling atmosphere of negativity. We should all benefit from laughing our way thru life. If indeed we are in for a few seasons of downhill-ness from our team, which has been hovering for some time now, then I would rather look back up than down. I quickly get UP again, otherwise you effect everybody around you with all negative shit, and I don’t want to be like that, so Wigan here I come!

BTW, I didnt know angles had the ability to make other people fly… Now I know!

But its got something to do with a girl, that much I can say.
