Lindsay, Melbourne - I'm so tired of this re-writing of history that people seem so inclined to do when it comes to Ferguson's appointment at Man Utd. 'oh, they were so crap at the time - they were 21st when he took over, and he boosted them all the way up to 11th, then 2nd, and with no money'. He took over in November, so barely a third of the way through the season. The team had finished in the top four in the previous five seasons. Minnows they were not - it was akin to Spurs in the '2 points from 8 games' type scenario. Yes, they 'recovered' to finish 11th, then finished 2nd the next year. The two years after that? Back to 11th, then down to 13th. So Ferguson most certainly did need time, and was given it, by an extraordinarily patient board who funded a multitude of expensive signings - Neil Webb, Mike Phelan, Paul Ince, Gary Pallister and Danny Wallace were recruited just prior to their return to 11th place, following the purchases of Bruce, Anderson, McClair & Leighton at the start of his first full season. The end. Please. nice revisionism

They are never going to outdo him when it comes to clever putdowns, strategic one-liners and media positioning – he is simply too good – but City proved that on the pitch there is no need to harbour any kind of inferiority complex.

'Despite their apparent cup pedigree - since they've returned to the top flight in 1962 - Everton have, after today's results, once again gone further in the FA Cup than their much vaunted neighbours. For the record it's Everton 23 Liverpool 22 and 7 ties in the 52 seasons from 1962-63.' Everton, proving you don't have to win to be a winner.

One cannot turn a FWD car into a RWD car by simply bolting on a set of coilovers and pulling the handbrake around a corner. The same can be said of Moyes and his plans. You do not take a team who has known little apart from wing-play, served under 1 manager for most of their careers and turn them into a fluid, hard-pressing master class of a team in 6 months.

I'm not sure that I agree with what Moyes is implying (and it isn't the first time he's implied that something is amiss regarding fixtures) but it does no-one any favours to simply dismiss his so-called bizarre opinions out of hand; after all, we are talking about a multi-million-pound business and, unless I've missed something recently, businesses of that magnitude often 'arrange' things in favour of themselves or their affiliates. This isn't 'conspiracy theory' but a mere fact of modern life. Moyes may well be entirely mistaken but there's nothing crazy about it - the very same newspapers which report on, say, Libor fixing will also likely tell us that Moyes has gone mad over fixture-schedule fixing. Don't be led by the nose.

Don't be led by the nose. ahahha same guy The Premier League, as a concept and as a brand, was given a tremendous boost by Manchester United's brilliance, flair and success; would it really surprise anyone if the PL were now looking for a new 'flagship' brand club, one which makes exciting big-money signings, one which plays in a globally-appealing, continental (and not merely British) style...and one which miraculously seems to have got so many journalists onside? "PL & others, what first attracted you to billionaire-Manchester City?"... It's quite clear that, in modern-day Britain, everything is for sale - even integrity - and never mind the morals or sporting ethics; why else would the game welcome would-be owners who possess dire human rights records, people whose fortunes may well be built on a pile of corpses or on violations of the law? Everything's for sale if you have enough money to grease the wheels. Unless we've all been suddenly struck blind and can no longer read, it isn't bizarre or crazy to consider the evidence of recent history.
