Six months of David Moyes and fourth place is already a trophy  Most United fans know nothing besides success and they don't know how to deal with it and it's brilliant. I'm quite enjoying this as a plastic football fan in a country surrounded by hundreds of thousands of plastic United fans that know nothing else but gloating and smugness.

ESPNFC is like your American dad who doesn't really "get" football but he's happy that you like it and he tries to make comparisons to the NFL that are just not even close to being right because it's the only thing he knows.

An imagined exit interview with Juan Mataquote:His London flat had not yet been packed up and sold, and he graciously invited me to meet him there, so that we could have the discussion in the comfort and privacy of his secure residence. Naturally, the place was impeccably decorated, stylish and modern yet subtle and classy. The gray weather outside made for a dim, somber atmosphere. My host, while kind and hospitable, generally reflected that tone in his words and actions. He moved slowly, not the spark plug that I'd seen in televised-interviews; his bright eyes seemed to have lost some of their light. quote:Fortunately, I'd anticipated the difficulty in sorting through such deep-rooted and complex emotions, and I've brought a tool that should help to unlock emotions, loosen tongues, and relax the heavy brows that have darkened the room. My secret weapon: a 2007 Rioja Gran Reserva. He seems pleased to be able to get to his feet and set himself to the task of rummaging up a couple of glasses, and we settle back into the armchairs a few minutes later, already feeling buoyed by the injection of liquid courage. quote:Again, Juan Mata falls silent. This surprises me, with his willingness to have the interview and his reputation as a bit of a chatter-box. One would be remiss to mistake this relentless attacker for a man without patience, but tonight his silence weighs heavy with hesitance. "Chelsea is a special club," he begins slowly, "It is special to me, and to many... the fans, the manager, the players, everyone has always had respect for me and treated me very well. I am not so able to speak as well... in English," he says. His English is better than the vast majority of foreign players I know, but I empathize with his difficulties in self-expression. Perhaps this is why he's agreed to meet with me in particular, I think. You know, if you'd be more comfortable, I say, we could continue in Spanish. He nods gratefully.

You're right. In fact he made a point of saying he wouldn't do it as a dig at Benitez. The truth is they share a very close belief in how to control games. The difference being that Benitez has a far better record of success considering how he won trophies with teams who were vastly outspent by his rivals. I suspect that's a major factor in Mourinhos hatred for Benitez. He'd hate if the media cottoned on to that fact. But in fairness he's safe enough there,the British media will never delve beneath the soundbite.

- Our squad is the third best in the league, and is only slightly behind Chelsea's - Nani, if given a run of games, will show to be our most important winger - Mata won't fit for us long run unless we get rid of Rooney - Fellaini may be useful for us - Welbeck will be overtake RVP or Rooney in the pecking order in the next couple of seasons

By flipping the left wing suarez/ sturridge (20 point defensive value) with the sterling (35 defensive value ), Rogers balanced the squad. For example.... Assuming the above values and that Sissoko is about ten points less defensive value than flano: until today's game, they had lined up with 20 points defensive value on the left and 45 points defensive value on the right. Flanos defensive strength allowed for a swap today. His extra ten points offsets suarez defensive weakness on the right. It was 30 on the left and 35 on the right today. Plus Flano's precision one touch ability pairs well with Suarez's precision in the same way sissoko's lack thereof seems to mesh with Sterlings stupid pace. Swiss watch on the right. Entropy on the Left.

 US actor Shia LaBeouf has walked out of a news conference for director Lars von Trier's new film Nymphomaniac at the Berlin Film Festival. LaBeouf left after 10 minutes, quoting footballer Eric Cantona's famous 1995 line: "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea."

The worst bit I find dealing with is the abuse from co workers. After we have enjoyed such success for such a long time people are thrilled we are doing so shite now. They spend more time taking the piss out of United than they do following their own team.
