I have never cried in my adult life but at about 70 mins I started to get watery. What a joke we are under Moyes. Moyes has to go. There will be no big signings or revitalization. We are poo poo poo poo and more poo poo under that fuckin idiot. Week after week we see the same things and nothing is being done about it. What is going through Sir Bobby's/Fergie's head?!?! 'Oh we will give him time' gently caress TIME! Martinez doesnt need time! Mourinho doesnt need time! Sparkling water didnt need time! For fucks sake! I cant stand to see United come to this. Something has to be done. Moyes out times infinity

Who is Sparkling Water? I assume Rodgers, but I don't know why.

How many shits can you possibly give about soccer (excuse us, “football”), cricket, or other hooligan-based sport? Well at Fado Irish Pub, the answer is more than any upright primate should. Ignore your wife and children all day like a badge-wearing deadbeat while you stuff your gullet full or beer and bar foods slow-cooked with cheap beer. Come night, celebrate your team’s victories or drown your sorrows with the nearest only-willing-because-she's-inebriated female. The divorce papers will be waiting for you when you get home.

I imagine I am going to find myself in the minority here, but I am of the firm view that Manchester United decision to sack David Moyes after just 10 months in charge is an absolute disaster for the club, and makes a complete mockery of the decision to appoint a manager unproven at this level in the first place.

Alex Fergusons greatest legacy at United, was that Manchester United were not like other clubs. They did not dirty their hands with the regular appointing and firing of managers at a whim, chasing short and cheap success. That was the business of other clubs, whose star rose and fell over the last 20 years, whilst United were a constant. Above all others, they did not concede to player power. Even if it meant short-term detriment to the club, no player was ever allowed to become more important than the manager. Paul Ince, David Beckham, Jaap Stam, Roy Keane, RVN, Wayne Rooney - all learnt the hard way that the manager was King. And it worked.

We now have the farcical situation where Danny Welbeck, a youth team graduate, on the fringes of the first team is the straw that broke the Camel's back?

Sir Alex gave very clear instructions on his departure - back the manager. Are we now saying the Glazers, the media or indeed the fans now know best? I think it is very sad, the legacy and competitive advantage Ferguson gave to United (his final gift) built up over 25 years has been destroyed by the fans and the American owners in 10 months.

Farage is a funny little racist, isn't he?

On the game’s last play, Diego Forlan, who five years later would lead Atletico to second-tier European glory, equalized with a header off a set piece. A fan who sat in front of the media section and smelled of weed went nuts. The scene was perversely endearing, a final primer on everything I needed to know about what I was getting into. This grown man gesticulating wildly, imploring foreign journalists to take note of his tormented story, brought me closer. I stared at the name on the fan’s jersey and remembered John Motson’s voice in the video game for the 1998 World Cup.

“Ki-ko. Ki-ko. Ki-ko.”

I had a frame of reference for my teenage self. I had just witnessed a win dissolve into the night, like a final-page plot twist as surprising as it was expected. Atletico fans were into their team in a special way, literally and commercially dubbed bendita aficion (“blessed fans”). I had already experienced derby defeat live.

If my choice of club to support needed any validation, I found it in my first favorite YouTube video,

Might not be enjoying his best run of form, but A****** is still the forward of the bunch that possesses the best combination of size, skill and World Cup experience. There is no denying that the 24-year-old veteran has had his share of struggles at Sunderland, but he has shown in the past that he can score in bunches when fed with steady service.

36 people need a brain transplant, seriously!! Tony Pulis?? Did you people not learn from what Moyes has done to United? Get serious people…. Liverpool are on the verge of flying back to their perch and you’re talking about TONY F’ing PULIS!! Jurgen Klopp, Jupp Henckes, Louis van Gaal, those are the lines United should be thinking along. People forget that during his time, Sir Alex was the Jurgen Klopp of Aberdeen and by no means comparable to Moyes and co who have nothing, and whose only creditable achievements are keeping recently promoted sides IN the Premier League. Must Loosertool fans making fun of United when voting for Tony Pulis!! Goodness!
