PaulC Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think Mill's comment was a bit rediculous. Nobody can forecast what will happen in the next 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 We won quite memorably one year, didn't we, when MON was around? 12/12/2009, my 25th birthday. That was a rather memorable one I was in Borneo when I watched that game! Great memories. Last time before that in the League was 1995 - I was 16! I was 10! I hope we don't have to wait 14 years between every win against them. We are cursed by them, I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen them come from behind to beat us. We beat them twice in ten days in 1992. Was that the two 1-0 victories? Saunders with one and Dalian with the other? I was a fat faced kid in the North Stand in them days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) As for me not knowing that Everton bloke, I'm neither old or an Everton fan. Sorry guys I was just kidding, I didn't know who he was either! Edited March 17, 2014 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) They've only got 4 more points at home than we do this season... In a world of unbelievable / useless stats, that one is definitely of the unbelievable variety. "Theatre of Dreams". Pah! That is a jaw dropper. I wonder how many of their "fans" will start following Manchester City now? Edited March 17, 2014 by maqroll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuck Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I see Moyes thinks they can go on and win the Champions League Actually, that'd be pretty cool. But it seems just a tad unlikely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Surely they are fated to win the damned thing now. Whoever finishes 4th is going to crap their pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 They aren't much worse than Chelsea were a couple years ago to be honest. So it's incredibly unlikely, but in a knockout competition you always have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope liverpool finish 4th because of a last minute goal at another game that came from a blatant dive to win a penalty and Utd end up winning the CL tbh 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 No, Man U need to be out of the Champions League for a bit, just to get a taste of what it actually feels like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's incredibly unlikely, but in a knockout competition you always have a shot. Yeah. Liverpool '05, Milan '07 and Chelsea '12 all won it while being very poor (by Champions League standards), but over 2 legs anything can happen really, then certainly the same can be said for a 1 off Final. I think the current Madrid and Bayern are like the Barca of 4 or so years ago though in that I think they're just too good. Whoever wins when they play each other will win it for me.

The difference between Chelsea '12 and this United team is that Chelsea could at least defend. You can not say that about this united, who look awful at the back. Evra looks a shadow of his former self. Rio's past it, Vidic's mind is on his new club, Evans and Jones, not good enough yet, Rafael poor; Christ, i even fancy the Villa's chanes against their defence/. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chap of Steel Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Current articles you see when on BBC Sport's Football page: Moyes hopes win can be turning point 'After so much misery, Moyes deserves best night' Man United win 'buys Moyes more time' Van Persie treble inspires United Is it possible to replace a managerial legend? 5. Surely that's a bit unnecessary? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yeah, but the BBC has always given an disproportionate amount of coverage to United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that Chelsea side massively underachieved in the league, partly through sacking AVB half way through a rebuild and partly through appointing somebody clearly out of his depth. They won all of Europe in spite of everything from above. Through teamwork alone. Quite an achievement IMO. This United team isn't good enough, in addition to a manager who probably isn't good enough either. Its mind boggling to me that the bookies see them and Atletico Madrid as having the same chance. Both around 16/1. Only one of them has a genuine shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Bale and Ronaldo would run riot against this season's United back 4 plus we all know they probably have the weakest central midfield left in the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Yeah, but the BBC has always given an disproportionate amount of coverage to United. It might disproportionate compared to the number of other clubs there are but it probably isn't disproportionate if you consider the number of fans they have reading the BBC website, far more than any other club in the country.

Was literally just about to say that. The BBC, like pretty much any media, needs to cater for their biggest market segment, which happens to be United fans for football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
