The only people that are struggling to come to terms with anything are the Scottish now it's come to light not all their managers are great

 Look at the state of that team. The fact they are the current champions is due to how poor everyone else was.

Does anyone think that if SAF was still in charge that Man United would of had the season they've had so far?
I don't want to dwell on the past too much but it's the only standard we have to judge against in recent history. I think we'd be above Everton & Tottenham with this same squad and SAF in charge and knocking on the door for 4th minimum.

I think you'd possibly challenge for 4th, but that's about it. Which in itself would show his failings to invest in younger players. You have both ends of the spectrum in regards to young players with potential, and old players who are past it. But not enough top quality players in their prime.

Also shows Moyes failings that he can't get the best out of the players he has at present which has been my point all along. I like him but he's not doing his job

But what if he is getting the best out of them? He lost his two best players for a fair bit. There isn't much you can do if one or two have a dip in form though. Even the best managers can't have them at their best all the time.

ARSENAL, ARSENAL, ARSENAL.
Arsenal fans seem quiet 
To be fair I'll give them credit unlike some on this website who seemingly can't credit a rival team, or another team for that matter.
Everyone thought they would fall away long, long before this moment, to be nearly in April and not far from the league is an achievement for them and they've done well. And still I reckon they'll maintain CL qualification as well. But I think they've shot themselves in the foot for the league now.
Did anyone listen to Scholes as well? He tore Arsenal a new one and Jack Wilshere

Scholes was also far than complementry about Moyes either. When asked about playing specific players where they were each time it was almost a "Its stupid to play him here" in a round about way without directly slagging the club off

Scholes was absolutely superb on sky sports. Has his head screwed on and nailed it with "without pace, united are nothing"
Why sub cleverly for kagawa? I really, really want moyea to succeed and we will give him another year. We do look a bit better going forward than the usual shit ive seen this year but City are on another planet compared to us.

Nice that Scholes has finally developed a voice! People will listen to him too.

Funny how he ripped Arsenal, but didn't rip United who are in the shit.
At least GNev is unbiased. Says it as it is.

GNev - I really wanted to hate him when he restarted but have to say his knowledge is right up there and knows the game inside out.

This TBH. I wanted to hate him, I really did but he has grown into a great pundit.

As said before, his nationality is meaningless. There are hundreds of shite Scottish managers but Davie Moyes isn't one of them.

This x 1,000,000
Do love Carra and GNev when they are arguing
Also I fully expect us to put 4 or 5 past Sunderland tonight. Be very, very disappointed otherwise.

What do you think of Allen? He hasn't produced anywhere near what he did for Swansea yet but he's a tidy player. Rodgers has started getting the best out of Henderson, I'd like to think he can do the same for Allen.

He blows hot and cold but I agree with you in that Rodgers will get the best out of him, as has been shown in the last few games barring a few poor decisions

So Sunderland are making a better fist of it against Liverpool then United, coupled with the fact they knocked United out the cup etc. If we are blaming solely the players at United would point to sunderland having better players than United? Like fuck. The same applies to Stoke, Newcastle etc

Do you believe that they will play exactly the same every game, Steve? 
Cups are an entirely different prospect.
