The win in 1976 lives in my mind strongr than our second place to Liverpool. If I could only choose one it would be the F A Cup but we should aim to do our best in both competitions.

I'd rather we kept quiet and just keep putting points on the board. By bigging ourselves up we just give ammo to those who want to diss us.

And we should have buried them at St Marys so it evened itself out.

Koeman took van Gaal to school on Sunday. And everybody knows it. This

We dont have the luxury of having 4 world class strikers and have to cut our cloth accordingly. Perhaps he should have saved some of his criticism for why a team that cost so much couldnt get a shot on target?

They are a yo-yo club though.

Are we really spending all this time argueing the toss about what is on taget or not? A blocked shot is like a tackle and is not a shot. If someone is on the line and stops it is is a shot on target because the player has had a shot. I cannot give you the definition of what distance the ball has to travel before it can be deemed a shot because frankly, I have a life. United di not have any shots on target.

You have not seen the comments then? There are comments on this thread to the extent of what did they expect etc.

If the keeper saves it you have a pretty good idea that it could have gone in. If the shot is blocked then it is not really a shot on goal is it because it didnt reach the goal - hence not on target.

If he would rather play for the likes of Crystal Palace good luck to him.

The bloke is paid to be controversial. He is also paid to fill space. Job done as far as his editor is concerned. The article is nonsense. he sayds that Van Persie had a shot that was blocked that should have counted as a shot on target. Well if it was blocked it wasnt on target was it? He also said that Pelle's shot that came back off the post was lucky that if feel to Tadic. Well I would say that it was lucky for United that it hit the post and didnt go in. 3 points was the important stat and he knows that. He also knows and acknowledges that SFC are not a team that parks the bus. Koeman's tactics were spot on in this game as proved by the fact that we won the game. All the rest is hot air.

He texted Evans on his way to the hotel and said that he had a bird. Apparently the two mates outside the window tried to video the action but failed for some reason.

If so, how come his appeals failed? I wouldnt be so sure. And you may have read the notes from court but not the case notes. These are retained by the CPS and not released to the public.

I don't think anyone realistically thought that we would be in with a shout this season but who also would have thought that the likes of United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham would have been so poor (relatively)?

...

I agree and that is why we have an appeal system.

Perhaps they contain photos of Lovren with the caption - His head was in Liverpool and now his career is in the toilet - as a little reminder?

I would go with tickets...

So after every verdict should they say - We find the defendent guilty m'lud but remember that juries are not infalible so many people will still see the defendent as innocent?

Still a long way to go but the only teams I have seen this season who I would say are better than us are Chelsea and Manchester City.

There have been many good results Alpine. If you wish to slap an agenda on it that is your right. For me, I have just been impressed by the way the Board have got on with things and have melted away to let Ron and his team get on with it. They could have stayed in the spotlight and said We To You So but they have gone on doing what they do in the background, providing Ron the platform to get on with things. Ron is quite rightly getting a lot of the praise but he is just part of a bigger team and they are all playing their part.
