Man Utd are losing to Stoke. How much longer can they give Moyes?

No ****.

We wanted Adomah very strongly when he was at Barnet, we had 2 bids knocked back. We wouldn't pay the asking price, and Bristol City did. He was going to be the Antonio replacement, but we actually already had one in Chamberlain, so it all worked out in the end.

Palace look utter trash. They're long gone, already.

People need to disconnect from the fee. seriously.

Lovren is class, better than I've seen at my club for a long time. But the defensive resolve is down to a lot more than just 1 player.

For me, Davis is one of the first names on the team sheet at present. Excellent bursting forward and adds a lot of energy in the middle of the park. He's been one of MP's best players ever since he's been in the building, he's completely suited to his style.

Umm, ok then.

Nope, I really couldn't give two hoots about that to be honest. I just find you incredibly boring and tedious. Drop the act.

But overall we have had an excellent start to the season, no matter who we have played against. Your point against Norwich not being great is interesting, as that kind of confirms that no game in this league is easy. You can't take any for granted. We haven't, we're defensively outstanding, gritty and determined.

Can't be arsed to read back, but there have been posts from a few suggesting he's not suited to this league. Coming to that conclusion after 8 games is quite silly, in my opinion.

It's quite ironic that the one person who always uses the term ''mongboard'' is actually, the biggest mong of all.

I would say that going to Anfield and Old Trafford in the first 8 games, isn't exactly a doddle of a start. Why are you trying to belittle it? We've been fabulous, and fully deserve our position in the league.

You'd think, that after the Morgan v wotton thread was bounced back up, people would kind of think twice about overly committing their opinions on a new foreign edition. In fact, I think it is utterly, utterly ridiculous that it's even being questioned that he may not make it here.

Jesus, just imagine that actually did happen - As lallana did cut inside and have a shot just after too. Would have been an absolute meltdown!!!!

Great post.

I doubt his passing will ever improve that much, he's not that sort of player. But he will do all the ugly things, and his strength is just immense. The way he held off Fellani a few times yesterday was pretty impressive. I don't think he's that bad technically, but he's not a pretty player. But every side needs a player who breaks it up like him, and we've got a really, really good one.

Fulham aren't a bad side, and it will be very easy for us to slip up in this one. Berbatov and Bent will score goals if they get a sniff. I like Sidwell in the middle and if Ruiz plays, they have a genuine link between the midfield and the front 2. However, they are a very old side in general. They have 2 days less recovery time. If we play as we can, we should keep them under wraps. The question mark is if we'll create enough against them, as they're the sort of team who will stick 2 banks of 4 behind the ball and sit. Will imagine this will be a tough watch!

At least he's being honest.

Sunderland actually look doomed. This is probably what happens when you try to sign everyone under the sun at once. It's impossible to integrate that many new players into a club, that's already on a downer. Awful decision to allow Di Canio the scope to shape the squad as much as he did. And it's also clear ot see that Altidore hasn't improved as a player since his stint with Hull all those years ago. He actually looks worse. I'm slightly surprised by Arsenal, before they signed Ozil the general mood around the camp was low. No one really had any expectation and I'm sure the players felt quite flat. But they pulled off a genuine world superstar signing on deadline day, and it's given absolutely everyone a lift. From the players, the management and the fans. After a summer whereby there were question marks over them, they're now united and are a force. They'll have a spell where they are sloppy for a few games, as usual, as I still don't think they're invincible, but Ozil will be the difference. Flamini has impressed me, he's made a great impact for them. I always fancied Hull to do OK, as they'd bought well in the summer. Huddlestone and Livermore are good signings for a club like Hull, and they already had some decent players in the likes of Koren and Brady. They'll dip badly at some point, but I think they've given themselves a good platform. Spurs - I think they've started OK, bar the result against WHU last time out. They've signed a fair few players as well, but not enough to cause major disruption. And the players they've signed are genuine proven class, so it makes a difference. I think they'll be exactly the same as last year, so after losing Bale, that's got to be seen as a positive for them.

Fellani is shocked to see this circular object near him, he's not sure what it is.

We have our style, this is our style. I wish people would stop looking for us to change it or say we're still missing things. There's nothing wrong with it as it suits the players we have at our disposal down to a T.

I think a certain Georges Prost recommend him.

League 1 was the best thing that could have happened for us and Morgan. It allowed Morgan to fully integrate himself into the club and immediately start charging for success and lots of wins. He matured as a player a hell of a lot in those 2 years, as well as becoming stronger, more consistent and a team player. In my eye's, hes also captain material - but we have lots of potential captains at this club, which is why we have such a good team spirit. They all bounce off each other so well. I remember the first ever game Morgan played, the 2-2 friendly against WHU at the start of the Wotte/Port era. He was majestic and done stuff on the ball that us saints fans hadn't seen for a long, long time. Unfortunately for him, he got sucked into the charade that year and lost his way - as did many of our players. But as they say, the class never leaves them, and he's always been a player who is just pure class without any debate.

One thing against him - he has no international experience. If the above are fit, they'd surely be there before Clyne. As they're both first choice for pretty big clubs too. I like Clyne a lot, but putting my neutral hat on for a second.
