    I'm not slating DM, he's a good old fashioned football man, but he doesn't have that effusive personality like that of Mourinho and Klopp, so it all makes sense. So here's hoping Moyes proves them all wrong.

    Klopp is another example of a man who was a promising manager but had no trophy winning CV and yet was given the top job a large club and has done extremely well. Critics of DM ignore this. I'm not saying Moyes will totally succeed, as taking over Utd after SAF is a very tall order, but he has the qualities to succeed if given time.

    Effusive personality. Okay so do you want Barry Fry as Utd manager?

    I wasn't talking about my personal choice, just the general consensus of the public that our choice of new manager isn't exciting.

    If its three in midfield then, Anderson is far more effective than Giggsy. I'm hoping we're playing two wingers in Giggs and Zaha, otherwise, not happy with this team selection.

    Paraphrasing the great Rowan Atkinson, Anderson is as effective as a cat flap in an elephant house.

    Anderson after all was the signing of our revered great Sir Alex who is flawless and thus you might be offending some of his most ardent supporters, by criticising Ando.

    I know. We're not ready for the new season. But again, that's not our strongest line up.

    SAF was a total legend but he was not infallible and he'd be the first to say so. He like all managers made some bad signings. Bebe, Ralph Milne, Djemba-Djemba, Anderson etc. However we may as well start with 10 players against Wigan rather than start with Anderson.

    Hmmmmmm. I'm a plastic for pointing out that SAF made some mistakes. Ok.

    Sorry it was just a joke. I've been called a plastic for not supporting DM wholeheartedly, just because he was handpicked by SAF.
