Genuinely feel sorry for mata, but it's his own fault. PSG wanted him but he wanted to stay in the premier league.

Just checking the Swansea and Chelsea sites for you bow![]()

Its a big game for both teams, we're going into this in a confident mood after beating West Brom 0-3 at the hawrthorns today, if we can play like that, we can beat any team in the premier league.

If moyes has any sense he will be building his team around mata rooney and rvp for next srason. This season is irrelevant regardd to mata as he is being played out of position imo.
Must be some time since Saints had 4 or 5 players who could walk into Utds team.
Shows you where they now are!
(Only 4 or 5 . Ask the other way round..how many of uniteds would walk into the saints team. 2? Maybe 3)
That's a bit below the belt!
United used to destroy teams with their midfield. Now, they look completely toothless, and forced to "go long" to make any chances. Just like Everton used to be, under Moyes.

As a Saints fan I cannot disagree with this statement. When Utd visit St Marys there will be a good chance that if we are at our best a repeat of the battering you received at the Old Dell in the 1990's will be on the cards again. I would also have to argue that players like Lallana, Rodriguez and Shaw would , in earlier days, been exactly the kind of players who would have leapt at the chance to play for Utd. I can't see any of them being tempted now.
I would also have to add that I think it is great that Man Utd dominance is coming to an end as this will make the Premiership more interesting. I felt the same 20 years ago when Liverpool imploded. Every dog had his day and I feel Utd are now set for a few years in decline. I can't see Moyes turning things around and the absence of Champions League football next season will only add to Utd's stature diminishing.
However, I would add one further comment. Ferguson's greatest boast was that he obliterated Liverpool's dominance of English football. Although I was no fan, what he achieved totally eclipsed the combined brilliance of Shankley and Paisley and even the best Liverpool teams from the 70's and 80's could not hold a candle to the teams that Utd fielded. Bearing this in mind I think it is totally unacceptable for Liverpool to come to Old Traffold and humiliate the hosts in the fashion of this afternoon. Traditionally Utd have raised their game against Liverpool and generally have got the better of their rivals. No one associated with the club should be accepting this kind of performance and if the winning of silverware is beyond Utd's grasp this season, I don't think being dominated by Liverpool is something you should tolerate. It should be unthinkable that the hard fought dominance achieved by Ferguson which consigned Liverpool's reputation to history should be ceded - especially in such a fashion.
