  1. I hope you're wrong, but it's looking that way. As for this best player discussion: For me, it's between Suarez and Aguero. I'd be more tempted to go with Aguero. Fucking monster.
  2. It's not really the losses that is the most worrying thing, it's the manner at which we are losing which is terrible. We seem to be playing the same way in every single game, regardless of which players are playing. This just screams of "bad tactics", get the ball out wide and let the wingers do their work. Once defenders know that the threat is coming from out wide, they just block off the wings and we can't create. We haven't scored in two games. We haven't won the last four. For the sake of Cleverley, the team, the league, the season, he shouldn't be playing. I was expecting big things of him and thought the injury to Carrick would give him a chance of a run in the team. But, he's looking really poor and our only option at the moment seems to be to play him through his bad form and hope that he gets better. I'd at least try and give Anderson a run now because at least we go forward with him. We can't score when the ball is going sidewards. Even then, if I had the choice, neither should be starting games week in week out. I managed to meet up with our own @jayseven yesterday. I had noticeably cooled-down by that point. But fuck, we are dire. Only positive I can take is that Januzaj looked great (again) and Zaha played a game (!).
  3. I'll never stop supporting them, no matter how badly we do. Fergie did make numerous attempts over the years to change things. We brought in the likes of Veron, Anderson, Hargreaves, Kagawa, etc over the years, all of who looked very, very good for their clubs. Tom Cleverley looked like the real deal about two seasons ago, but for the past 18 months he hasn't turned it on. For some reason or another, midfielders have found it hard to come in and cement their place. We set the bar very high with the likes of Keane and Scholes and nobody (except Carrick) has been able to come anywhere near those heights. Hargreaves looked very, very good until the injurues. Veron looked great in Europe, but not in the league. Anderson started off well then looked shit after his injuries. I don't feel awfully sorry for Moyes because despite our shitness in midfield, he's still got the likes of Cleverley, Carrick, Anderson, Kagawa there to do something with. Jones has looked decent in midfield, too. He had the opportunity to sort it out in the summer, was given plenty of time, and he fluffed his lines. There are some great players at the club who aren't playing well, and it's up to them to take responsibility and Moyes' job is to motivate them. The Fellaini situation annoys me because he looks incredible for Belgium and looked very good for Everton. What worries me is that Fellaini and Cleverley are playing in an almost identical way. Side passes, both staying back, no serious attempt at playing the ball forward or making a rampaging run. It just screams of shit tactics to me. A bit of that and low confidence for both. Fellaini was never going to be enough, though. He needed to be one of about 2 or 3 signings. It's our fault for making him look worse than he actually is. He's a good player. It should have been Fellaini and Herrera, or Fellaini and Ozil before Arsenal got there. Had we signed Ozil, we'd be looking much better than we currently are. As for England's group: We can't seriously go there and win it with the team that we have. So, why not go there and try something different? Take the likes of Barkley and try to build the team/squad for the next competition. We need youngsters who want to impress and who are energetic and will play for the shirt. I'd rather take these guys in place of Ashley Young, who is never, ever going to make it for England.
  4. The anticipation is killing me. Nervous as fuck, brah.
  5. This is my favourite thing about Christmas and going home. Hngggggggggggggg.
  6. That's a tricep bar, brah. I've never actually used one before. Been getting back into my routine since my wrist pain. My Push Day fucking killed me. The triceps still ache from that.
  7. The few United fans I know in real life (non-forum people) seem to all be in agreement that we've been shit. All season.
  8. So, I hear that Superman appears at some point in this film. Can anyone confirm this? I'm coming around to the idea of Batman being in it, but I'm worried as fuck that the characterisation and development is going to be so diluted. Would still have loved another separate Superman film before the party arrives.
  9. Happy Birthday, Shorty. Hope your birthday was sexy as fuck, brah.
  10. Was it this, Ash?
  11. I have no faith in David Moyes or this "team" of players. The only player who played with any sort of passion or pride was Wayne Rooney. We created nothing tonight. Nothing. At home. I don't know what Welbeck and Fellaini add to this team. They fill up a name on the teamsheet each, but that's it. Both did nothing tonight. Valencia created nothing. All we seem to do is foul, give away stupid free kicks and attempt to get ourselves sent off. I said ages ago that Moyes needed to learn and he needs to learn quickly. He has learned nothing. Absolutely nothing. He doesn't know who his first choice/best defenders are, he doesn't know who to start in midfield, on the wings, or up front (except for Rooney). He doesn't know when to make substitutions, or who to bring on. He doesn't know how to break teams down at home or away. He doesn't know how to play attacking football, or how to defend a lead. He doesn't know how to motivate these players. Players that have won titles, played in Champions League finals. He knows nothing. He has learned nothing. I'd take the loss if I could at least take some sort of heart from the performances. That we would have some sort of idea about the future of this club. But, we're getting nothing in return for this. There's no sense of a dynasty being built or a tradition being followed. There's no decisive style of play. No urgency, no atmosphere. Tired of this shit already and it's only fucking December.
  12. Dat feel when it's Christmas and you have an excuse to eat your own bodyweight in mince pies. I've had about 6 so far, from Mr. Kipling. Looooovely. Somebody told me today that they're already on 30, but they started early in November!
  13. Fuuuuck. Today was more annoying rather than "bad". I was late getting into work today as they decided it would be an excellent decision to close off an entire lane on the dual carriageway to carry out "works". When I say "works", what they were working on is anybody's guess. There were three guys taking a look at the central barrier and not laying a single fucking finger on it. Every few seconds they'd walk up to it, then walk away, then back again, etc. I swear they did it to rustle everybody's jimmies. We had a 2 hour rehearsal for our Christmas production which was absolutely dire. The hall that we will be using to host the event is used for sports, therefore it has an uber high ceiling, solid flooring and the sound echoes and bounces everywhere. You can't hear the kids at all, the songs sound dreadful and it's just annoying as hell. We haven't even had a chance to do a proper rehearsal as the stage won't be going up til Thursday, as they still need the hall for PE lessons. Our show is FRIDAY. Fuuuuuuu. I spent another lesson taking the kids outside and showing them how to project their voices. They weren't bad, in all honesty. But, it's such a time waster. Christmas is lovely, but you waaaaaste so much time on unnecessary shit. To top it all, I've had a massive headache all day. We had a new kid come in for a taster day...totally pointless. Why do it a few days before shows when you know that all they'll be doing is rehearsing anyway?
  14. You look less like a serial rapist without a beard or tache. (not serious). Never grow a beard ever again.
  15. THOSE ARE MAAAIII COOOKIEEES.
  16. Jingle All The Fucking Way. Home Alone 1 and 2 are iconic. More so the first. Die Hard. I'm out, so I'm going to suggest Jingle All The Way twice. GIMME DA TURBO MAN DOLLLLLLLL.
  17. Dat feel where you know that you've definitely bagged the hottest of three sisters.
  18. Good stuff, brah. I've just spent houuuurs using the copy/pasta functions to upload my reports to our shitty reports system. I've finally done it. Feels good, man. Now that awkward moment when the headmaster sends them all back to me because they were shite and I wrote them whilst watching the football.
  19. I feel like a proper knob for that "Liverpool look better than us comment" now. They lost 3-1 away to Hull. I hope Southampton can do something at Chelsea. Can't see Swansea getting anything at City.
  20. Lol, you should watch us this season. Uninspired, uninventive and boring to watch. Describes both of us. Eriksen has looked great when I've seen him. Individually, some of these new signings look like good purchases. But, collectively, it's not working. Basically, if United had signed Eriksen and somebody to cover right back, we would have been ok. I'm expecting City, Chelsea and Arsenal to fight for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and for us, Spurs and Liverpool to go for 4th. Everton are the outside bets, but they don't have enough depth to make it, imo. January will be important. I'm more confident in Moyes spending in January than I was with Fergie, who didn't really tend to do much work there. I'm hoping we go in there and do something. If anything, to get certain deals set for the following summer.
  21. I can't really say that either team looked great, tbh. Spurs certainly don't look like a team that spent a shitload of money in the summer. They look better than they did last week, obviously. But, they had the lead twice and lost it twice...at home. Soldado didn't do an awful lot today and looked completely out of his depth when compared to Rooney at the other end, who fought for everything (again). We look like a team who have too many average players and who have simultaneously changed too many things at the summer (manager, chairman, back-room staff) and not changed enough (the average players, not sorting out that midfield). I die a little inside every time I see Tom Cleverley in midfield. He's competent, at best. It's depressing that our best central midfielder at the moment is Phil Jones. A defender. A draw did neither of us any good. Arsenal look better than us, as do Liverpool. As soon as Chelsea and City get some consistency, they will look better than both of us, too. Given their squad depth. We're both in trouble.
  22. Get off that fucking iPad, Dazzy.
  23. I was really up for today's game. We did well to come back after going behind twice, but I'm still not loving our style of play. We seem to have reverted back to the days of "give Valencia the ball and see what happens". I miss how we used to play, particularly the last 10 minutes of a game where we were drawing, really going for it. These days, we look like we're happy with a draw.
  24. I'm on her side, @Animal. A pound from each till means £2 per shift. Let's say 3 shifts a week, that's 6 quid. We'll say you work 40 weeks a year, making it £240 a year. It's the perfect crime. You could already have bought your holiday home in the Bahamas by now for all we know. True suspect. Not serious, she probably miscounted.
  25. Cheers, brah. Not a massive deal. What does the meter actually do? Does it do anything bar count the number of steps that you take, or is there a bit more to it than that? I hardly touched the original Wii Fit so I don't know an awful lot about this.
