I've got no idea what's going on.



Just seems stupid to me that the board/RA would be replacing the assistant manager at this point in the season when we're top of the league and strolling through the CL group stages.



If Ancelotti had wanted his own man brought in I could've given a toss if Wilkins was sacked, but for the club to just sack him and replace him with that nobody is just ridiculous. Then in this weeks press conference CA said that Clement would be next to him on the bench, but Emallo (?) sat next to him during the match.

It can't be a coincidence that Diego Maradona was in the area today...

From the Inter forum.



"In this team talk right now the pig needs to be told that this is INTER, not the heroin fields of Anfield. He need to be told that he should pack his bags and leave Italy immediately, we MUST remove this horrible pink pig from our club, what he does to us is a disgrace."

Chortle

Yeah, but he sort of 'only punches'. It's not like he just punches when he struggles, he punches when it's easy and he's forever flying out for the punch. It's a good tactic that can work well when done correctly, but, like Reina early on in his LFC career, it can be overdone to the point where teams will expose it easily. Just don't think Akinfeev is the type of 'keeper to lead a defence in England, he's a great shot stopper, but his all-round goalkeeping isn't up to the levels you'd want from a 'keeper in England. Could become great, but I'd be surprised if Fergie would have such patience without VDS' experience to rely on.

Come home Rafa.

He's too busy messing up the european champions.

I'd be livid if one of my players had that attitude. Complete lack of respect for the club and fans.

I can't believe Utd are joint top of the league considering how poorly we have been playing. It could be argued that it bodes well for Utd that they can be top and inbeaten whilst playing poorly and missing players but at some stage we have to drastically improve our form. The return of Rooney will be highlighted as a possible pivotal moment but we will have to see, I think we are missing Valencia and we won't have him back until Jan/Feb.

TBH I don't see why. As long as the player puts in the effort to perform while he is playing for my club I couldn't really care if they have other ambitions.



Being able to sell players on suits Wigan. They'd be delighted to sell on a player to a MU/Citeh/Chelsea every year as long as it didn't effect their stay in the PL. Why would any Wigan fan think that a French player would want to stay at Wigan when there are obviously bigger and better clubs for them to aim for?

I can't believe how quickly 2nd place becomes joint top when United are 2nd.

Speaking to Latics fans they say that the lad gives his all on the field. He may well think Latics are just a stepping stone, but I think that's something he should keep to himself.

Joint top on points, second on goal difference.

If you win 7-0 at the weekend, we win 1-0, you'll be top on goals scored. This joint top 5hite will quickly disappear and you'll be first and we'll be second.

how can you say you cant believe your 2nd when you played so badly?? All the current top 4 have played badly upto this year if you saying that. We all dropped points were we shouldnt thinks its a testemant too the other teams in the league who have improved. There are no easy games now in the premiership. Think its going to be tight all the way through think all the current top 4 will be tight all the way too the last day and i think it may come down to the last week with any 3 of the teams going for the title. Also with Spurs playing some good football and Liverpool starting too pick points up and Bolton if they can keep it going its building up too be a very good season. Cibaman what you think about Jo yesterday?? was arguing with me mate he said he didnt do anything, i agree indivdually he wasnt outstanding but thats the best football we played all year with him involved he showed some nice touches and kept the ball moving id carry on with him ahead of Ballotelli this week coming

I can say it as we have been poor so to still be unbeaten and joint top is a real surprise, I would have expected to be 5/6 points adrift at this stage.

For me it will still be joint top, not interested in scoring petty points on here.

There is no such thing as joint top.



Chelsea are top. The league table doesnt lie. If the league ended now, united would finish second, not joint top. Its laughable.

It's a year when the league is there for the taking that is for sure. That's what has made our negative stance on football (excpeting yesterday) so annoying. With just a bit more 'go for it' we could have been top now. That said, I'm sure fans of all the other clubs in the top four are saying the same because none of the top four have been exactly inspiring this year and that's what makes it an interesting race.



I do think United fans do a great job in talking themselves down though. You haven't lost for what, 27 games or something. Not bad is it? Might even be a club record for all I know.

How much do Sky need to splash out to keep Andy Gray happy? Some serious technology in that studio!

Jesus. United have the same points as Chelsea. If the league ended now it wouldn't be a full season as each team hadn't played each other twice so all positions would be void so United would have no confirmed position.



You know exactly what Paul meant and the point he was making.

Jermaine Beckford

Ball goes through to Beckford





He's through





Beckford!























If Everton had a decent striker, one teams were worried about and who would take most clear chances, they would be a Champions League side. They create a ridiculous amount of half chances, almost every other possession ended in a nearly moment.



Also a clear offside for the second Sunderland goal. Bribery investigation should be start, check his bank account. As pointed out by Gray, el-lino is perfectly in line with the defense as the ball is played, then the crosser comes back in front of him, so therefore MUST be offside.



Give Moyes the £120m that the fool Mancini spent this season Everton would be champions.

Unfortunately that is the club we are. Charlie does give his all though unlike other players I could mention.
