Can't believe he actually said it's going to take time to rebuild. He's basically got gifted the same bloody team! The guys dillusional

*sigh* He's not delusional. He's been naïve at times and certainly could choose his words more wisely, but there was (and still is) a rebuilding job to be done. United fans recognise that and most fans of other clubs had been telling it to us for the past few years too. It was always going to be a difficult time when Fergie retired and whoever took the job on was going to have problems. The defence was old and creaking for the most part and midfield issues had not been addressed for many years - thank the ******ing Glazers on that one.
I have desperately wanted Moyes to succeed (and still do), but I remember saying to someone in June last year that I was worried he would be unable to fully comprehend the magnitude of the role he was taking on and how different it would be to anything else he's experienced. Sadly, I believe a good and decent man is simply being chewed up and spat out by the press/premier league machine that loves nothing more than this type of story and a group of players who appear to be either taking early retirement or simply couldn't give a ****** anymore.
That's not to say he hasn't made mistakes - he has, without question - but he'll have my support till the club decide to move him on (which looks closer by the day tbh)

Fergie knew it was exactly the right time to step down, moyes needed to buy 5 or 6 players before the season started but didn't. Whether that was his fault or the glazers I don't know.

**** liverpool are going to win it

Not getting too excited yet. Gotta beat city and Chelsea at anfield. I've given city the two games they have in hand, so I have them two points ahead of us. We beat them and Chelsea and we win it by a point over city. Still a lot to happen in the next six games
