    Man Utd: Momentum building after win over Norwich - Steve Round

    Manchester United have hit form after stretching an unbeaten run to six games with a 4-0 League Cup win over Norwich, says assistant boss Steve Round.
    After defeats to Liverpool, Manchester City and West Brom last month, United have won four and drawn two in October.
    "You need to go on runs in this league and this club is the best in the business at building that," said Round.
    "This club has a winning mentality. There were no great celebrations after Saturday's Stoke win and none tonight."
    The defending Premier League champions, eight points off the top of the table, play Fulham on Saturday before meeting current leaders Arsenal at Old Trafford on 10 November.
    Sir Alex Ferguson, who retired as United manager in the summer after winning 13 league titles, said this week that successor David Moyes can still retain the title despite Arsenal's eight-point advantage.
    Round says United will start to deliver more comfortable victories like the one chalked up against Norwich.
    "There will be teams on the end of some big scores from us because we've got that capability and we've got that firepower right the way through the squad," he added.

    The sports announcer says, "Going into the all-star break, the Chicago White Sox have the momentum." The headlines declare "Chicago Bulls Gaining Momentum." The coach pumps up his team at half-time, saying "You have the momentum; the critical need is that you use that momentum and bury them in this third quarter."

    Momentum is a commonly used term in sports. A team that has the momentum is on the move and is going to take some effort to stop. A team that has a lot of momentum is really on the move and is going to be hard to stop. Momentum is a physics term; it refers to the quantity of motion that an object has. A sports team that is on the move has the momentum. If an object is in motion (on the move) then it has momentum.

    Momentum can be defined as "mass in motion." All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it has momentum - it has its mass in motion. The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two variables: how much stuff is moving and how fast the stuff is moving. Momentum depends upon the variables mass and velocity. In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object.

    Momentum = mass &#8226; velocity

    In physics, the symbol for the quantity momentum is the lower case "p". Thus, the above equation can be rewritten as

    p = m &#8226; v

    where m is the mass and v is the velocity. The equation illustrates that momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and directly proportional to the object's velocity.

    The units for momentum would be mass units times velocity units. The standard metric unit of momentum is the kg&#8226;m/s. While the kg&#8226;m/s is the standard metric unit of momentum, there are a variety of other units that are acceptable (though not conventional) units of momentum. Examples include kg&#8226;mi/hr, kg&#8226;km/hr, and g&#8226;cm/s. In each of these examples, a mass unit is multiplied by a velocity unit to provide a momentum unit. This is consistent with the equation for momentum.

    Momentum is a vector quantity. As discussed in an earlier unit, a vector quantity is a quantity that is fully described by both magnitude and direction. To fully describe the momentum of a 5-kg bowling ball moving westward at 2 m/s, you must include information about both the magnitude and the direction of the bowling ball. It is not enough to say that the ball has 10 kg&#8226;m/s of momentum; the momentum of the ball is not fully described until information about its direction is given. The direction of the momentum vector is the same as the direction of the velocity of the ball. In a previous unit, it was said that the direction of the velocity vector is the same as the direction that an object is moving. If the bowling ball is moving westward, then its momentum can be fully described by saying that it is 10 kg&#8226;m/s, westward. As a vector quantity, the momentum of an object is fully described by both magnitude and direction.

    From the definition of momentum, it becomes obvious that an object has a large momentum if either its mass or its velocity is large. Both variables are of equal importance in determining the momentum of an object. Consider a Mack truck and a roller skate moving down the street at the same speed. The considerably greater mass of the Mack truck gives it a considerably greater momentum. Yet if the Mack truck were at rest, then the momentum of the least massive roller skate would be the greatest. The momentum of any object that is at rest is 0. Objects at rest do not have momentum - they do not have any "mass in motion." Both variables - mass and velocity - are important in comparing the momentum of two objects.

    The momentum equation can help us to think about how a change in one of the two variables might affect the momentum of an object. Consider a 0.5-kg physics cart loaded with one 0.5-kg brick and moving with a speed of 2.0 m/s. The total mass of loaded cart is 1.0 kg and its momentum is 2.0 kg&#8226;m/s. If the cart was instead loaded with three 0.5-kg bricks, then the total mass of the loaded cart would be 2.0 kg and its momentum would be 4.0 kg&#8226;m/s. A doubling of the mass results in a doubling of the momentum.

    Similarly, if the 2.0-kg cart had a velocity of 8.0 m/s (instead of 2.0 m/s), then the cart would have a momentum of 16.0 kg&#8226;m/s (instead of 4.0 kg&#8226;m/s). A quadrupling in velocity results in a quadrupling of the momentum. These two examples illustrate how the equation p = m&#8226;v serves as a "guide to thinking" and not merely a "plug-and-chug recipe for algebraic problem-solving."

    their momentum was taking them down the table at one point. It's evened out. So in fact they have no momentum atm.

    Steve Round (born 9 November 1970 in Burton upon Trent) is an English football coach and ex-player, currently the assistant manager of Premier League side Manchester United.

    As a player, Round was a full-back with Derby County, before being forced to retire early through injury after only nine league appearances. He joined the club's coaching staff, and it was here that he first worked with future England manager Steve McClaren. When McClaren was appointed Middlesbrough manager in 2001, he appointed Round to his coaching staff. McClaren was named as England head coach in 2006, and one of his first moves was to appoint Steve Round to his backroom staff. Round continued with Middlesbrough in a dual role until 15 December 2006, when he left the club by mutual consent following a "difference in philosophy and ideas" with new manager Gareth Southgate.[1] He became first team coach at Newcastle on 1 July 2007, becoming the first coaching appointment of manager Sam Allardyce.

    On 4 July 2008, Round became the new assistant manager to David Moyes at Everton, replacing Alan Irvine who left In November of the 2007&#8211;08 season to be Manager of Perston North End.

    It was reported on 27 May 2013 that, following David Moyes' appointment as the successor to Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, Round would continue in his role as assistant manager to Moyes at United, thus replacing Mike Phelan. [2] On 1 July, Round was officially announced in this new role.

    In the end norwich should be sacking their manager as a result. he's lost the fans and he went to old trafford defeated before he left the west country.

    Utd.... momentum... away day to fulham then to play arsenal? how many points out of 6 would you back them on... leave rivalry out of it and for gold hard cash what would you bet on.. 0, 2, 3, 4 or 6 points.

    I'd personally go for 3 points myself but it could easily be 2 or even 1. 4 right no IMO would be their aim and 6 would be dreamland.

    The West Country is an informal term for the area of south western England roughly corresponding to the modern South West England government region. It is often defined to encompass the historic counties of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, and Somerset, and the City and County of Bristol, while the counties of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire are also often included. Some usages of the term include even wider areas, while others are more specific though with little consistency of definition.

    Geography

    The area covered by the various definitions of West Country is mostly rural, with only a few sizeable towns and cities. Tourism and agriculture, especially dairy farming, play a significant role in the economy. The landscape is principally granite moorland in the west, and chalk and limestone downland and clay vales in the east. Historically, tin mining and the fishery were sources of income and employment in the west of the area, but less so today, although the latter still contributes to the economy. The region is traditionally famous for its production of cider, clotted cream, and pasties, but now at least equally well known for the Glastonbury Festival and other attractions.

    Area boundaries

    Apart from the Bristol Channel and English Channel, as with any informal area, the West Country's boundaries are difficult to define and as a consequence there are a number of different definitions used.

    Some groups use the term as roughly synonymous with the South West Region,[1][2][3] while others use it more specifically to refer to either the northern part of the region,[4] or more commonly just the southwestern part.[5] The term is also used, for example, to refer to sports matches between such cities as Bristol and Bath[6] or Gloucester and Bath.[7] West Country Carnival events take place in Somerset, Devon, Wiltshire and Dorset.

    Westcountry Television is an ITV franchisee covering Devon, Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly and areas of Somerset and Dorset. Local news and sport website This is the Westcountry.co.uk, part of the Newsquest group, similarly covers Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.[8]

    "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar" is a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) that can only be applied to Cheddar cheese made in the traditional way in the four counties of Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.[9]

    The DCMS-supported website Icons of England[10] defines the West Country as including Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire, and the former Avon area, but excluding Gloucestershire (defined as part of the "West Midlands") and Dorset (in "South England").

    The "West Country" edition of the 2005 BBC TV series Seven Natural Wonders featured "wonders" in Wiltshire, Somerset, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire (Symonds Yat), but not those in Devon or Cornwall which were the subject of a separate programme on the "South West", nor Dorset which was covered in a programme on "The South".

    The West Country Clothing District was an area that made woollen cloth, but only part of the region described above. It covered east Somerset and parts of the counties of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire and at some periods extended into Oxfordshire and Berkshire. The clothing district around Tiverton and Exeter in Devon and west Somerset tended to make different kinds of cloth and is best regarded as distinct.

    f it i confused by east and wast. what am i like today eh?

    what i meant to say was he was defeated before he ever left that combine harvester loving inbred horrible accented part of the country. oooh ar and all that.

    anyone losing to utd these days should be a big candidate for the sack.

    The city of Norwich must have a lot of momentum to move all that way <laugh> cheers MITO lad...proper tears of laughter now.

    Anyhooo...if this is Uniteds momentum I'm all for it. Van Pee looking sulky, ancient centre backs, a **** midfield, relying on a kid to be the new Giggs and a manager who's out of his depth. Still, at least R Wayne is enjoying life under the new regime:
