garcon magnifique Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 So. Jol's out of a job in the morning, that goes without saying. How much longer has Pellegrini got?? In other news, my prediction of Newcastle's relegation seems to be going well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I was saying Pellegrini would be gone by Christmas as you know, but I'm not so sure now. Their league form is inconsistent, but their Champions League performances have been very good indeed of late. I think it depends what the Qatari's want, and right now it wouldn't surprise me if they'd told him they wanted him to prioritise the Champions League over the Premier League if it came to it. Newcastle are looking much more solid now. I wonder what Pardew said to them after the Derby defeat, but whatever it was seems to have worked. Chelsea should have lost two in a row now. Spurs looks desperately inconsistent though. I'd love to know what has happened to Christian Eriksen. He was shocking today. Not that long ago he was one of Europe's most prized players with all manner of big clubs scouting him. United, Madrid, City and Barca backed off him 12-18 months ago but I still thought he was a hell of a signing for Spurs. On today's performance I don't think he'd get into the Bedlington Terriers first 11. I'm completely happy with our position and progress. The games we have between now and the end of January will see the table change dramatically. Southampton have some very tough games coming, as do Arsenal. I'll stick with what I said previously - Arsenal are in a position of false security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 That game turned out not to be as enjoyable as I was hoping. Some absences due to illness which isn't helpful. Mertersacker has been one half of a brilliant CB pairing this year. Vermaelen wasn't bad, but you never know what difference it makes psychologically. And there appeared to be a few more absences in terms of performance. No idea if this was due to illness or tiredness or "nervousness" as Wenger put it. ManU played much better than recently and deserved to edge the win. I think they knew they had to win this one and had the fire in their belly. But still, it wasn't vintage and apart from the goal and Rooney's scuffed shot there weren't many opportunities. If they hadn't have scored so early maybe it would've been different, but I thought they still looked dull. The game owed more to Arsenal not being at their best than ManU "dominating" the game. Six points and one goal conceded in a week of Liverpool, Dortmund (A) and Man U (A) isn't bad I look forward to the return leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 By the time the return leg comes, you'll be scrapping for that 4th Champions League place with Spurs. Mesut Who? Come the big game, off he disappears into obscurity.... For all Arsenal's claims of illness, we didn't even play Januzaj....something many seem to have missed. Had they scored, we'd have brought him on and scored another. Never in doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I forgot about the new Messiah Januzaj Once there's some width in this team and maybe feeling a bit fresher, you'll see Ozil much more clearly Mainly running around celebrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy2shots Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Happy with 3 points but was looking forward to a good match that didn't happen. With this, the cricket and no doubt a SV walk in the F1 park it is a little bit of a let down. Sport is at its best when its close with any result possible right up to the very last second. MrMe and Twinspark know what I mean, Aguerooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! NZ V Ireland anyone rugby right now anyone?

NewNiceMrMe Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Navas is impressive. Aguero is world class and I'd never try to argue that. Spurs didn't show up, or maybe they did and they're just so defensively inept and lazy that they don't think marking a man and running with him is a good idea? That could have been 10-0 easily. I think Spurs got off lightly. Now United need to win to go 4th - and all of a sudden that tough start to the season is looking more distant by the day.

Twinspark Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Another weekend, another typically Moyes performance. I don't care if it's now 10 games unbeaten, it's still 10 games of bloody awful performances and draws where they should be winning. (Real Sociedad and Cardiff being great examples).

NewNiceMrMe Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Oh change the record! That wasn't Moyes fault!!!!! How the hell was conceding a last minute goal the managers fault? He's not on the pitch. The substitutions didn't change anything and wouldn't have stopped it. We had a crap day, were missing RVP, and Cardiff have an excellent record at home as well you know (ask City). Just look at it for what it is - a lack of concentration at the back. Not the manager today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) How often did Fergie teams concede leads at the end of games? How often is it happening under Moyes? - we've lost leads late (last 20 minutes or so) a few times now. He's a manager for mid-table safety, not a manager to win things.

Waylander Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Mind you if wotsisface hadn't missed the open goal after Cardiff's equaliser I am sure you would have been saying similar things. To be fair to T_S alot of Everton fans yesterday were extolling Martinez and how that scoreline and performance would never have occured in the Moyes era (retreats rapidly after giving a good stir ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
