    Are you actually serious?

    With the squad we assembled and the players I mentioned we should be going out winning games. Instead we seem to have turned into Arsenal and are targetting top four and accepting mediocrity in the champions league.

    Is that why got Sanchez on board, to secure top four for **** sake?

    Your weird obsession with convincing yourself Liverpool are **** seems to have completely clouded your thinking.

    By the way, we secured a draw at Seville because we have the best goal keeper in the world, not because of some tactical masterclass by Jose.

    And you know it.

    I’ve been watching football long enough to see the best laid out plans be ripped up.

    How many times did we see United teams in the past go to away grounds for a defensive game plan only to find ourselves one down within 10 minutes? And having to attack.

    The wonderful display by DeGea may have contributed to the defensive display in the second half. Have you thought of that? Did you not think that if DeGea had not pulled off that miraculous save, we would have to attack in the second half and may be give a better performance?

    As I said I do not wish to be an apologist for him but he wants to win the thing. He has his own strategy and if he fails I’ll be the first to ask him to **** off.

    I think that's true. We have to rely on going behind to raise a decent performance these days. We used to do that from the kick off.

    No. We have many times started playing defensive under Ferguson and had to attack when we fell behind.

    Are you for real? I thought any sane football fan knows that the RS are ****. Nothing weird about it.

    Yeah, true.

    Our brilliant nil nil at Sevilla was the perfect counterpoint to their utterly **** five nil away at Porto.

    You must be out of your mind if you thought that Porto was equivalent to Sevilla. Porto performed worse than a league one side would have, meeting the RS.

    I see that after our 'no show', Atletico won 5-2 at Sevilla yesterday.
