Winning games is better for confidence than our league position at such an early stage, in my opinion.
We've just won two on the spin. That can only be of benefit. Especially the Everton result.

Winning is even more important of course but don't underestimate the confidence boost of having a decent position in the table, especially with the two big games coming up.
I reckon we will get at leased 7 points from the next four games. And if we do the trophy could be coming home
Hope you are right but with our defence the way it is at the moment i would be surprised if we get that many points against the top teams. It is way too early to say the trophy is coming home even if we do well against the other big teams but it will determine if we are on the way back or not and how much work we still need to do.

Are you on crack?
We have eight players that are due to return from injury within the next week, and apart from Carrick, all the others shouldn't take too long to get back to full fitness. With our luck, we'll probably have eight new injuries to other players in that time.

When it comes to injuries it's best to take the glass is half empty approach.
Softens the inevitable kick in the chuns afterwards.
Considering that certain members of the press are already suggesting that Van Gaal's successor should be Bruce, Keane or Giggs, I'd take Guardiola right now.
It's an almost certainty that they'll push for Redknapp to get the job, if he's still alive by then.
I'd be interested in seeing how Guardiola would do in this league, and it'd give the media something to talk about with the reunion of the Guardiola-vs-Mourinho rivalry. They'd be all over that.
Although I'd rather it not be Man United in case he ends up being great. Maybe he can succeed Arséne Wenger. I could live with that.

You'd think that the suits wouldn't make the same mistake they did with Moyes.
Longevity and success in regards to working on a tight budget at Everton but managed to win absolutely bugger all
A successful and lucrative career at one of the football giants but has no managerial experience other than as an assistant and a four game caretaker role at the dreg end of the season.
Giggs needs to cut his teeth elsewhere. The brand of the class of 92 is a myth. Does anyone really give a shit? They didn't before Moyes was shown the door.
Everyone's talking as if LVG will be gone once his contract is up.
If everyone's happy, he's going nowhere.
Ah, the voice of reason.
If LVG has chiseled out a team of Premier League champion contenders but they haven't quite managed to win it, or if they have but haven't yet won Champions League, he'll want to finish the job. I think we are his final ambition as a football manager and if things go well, he'll want to finish on a high... or series of highs.
Nobody's saying that Van Gaal will be gone at the end of the season.
It is undeniable, however, that he is a relatively short-term appointment.
Yes, speculating on his successor at this point is futile, but it's something that we're going to have to face sooner rather than later, even if he is successful.
There is almost no way that the likes of Giggs will be able to prove that they're capable of taking it on, in the next 5 years.

After the Everton game , it was the first time apparently in a year that we have been in the top four in the premier league table.
For all those who believed Moyes should have got another season,they can chew on that disturbing fact.

I'm not getting too excited, just yet...
Oh joy!
To be fair to Young, he didn't look utterly terrible at the start of the season.
Still, can't see him getting near the starting eleven any time soon, providing that others stay fit.
Might be an option, after Van Gaal.
It also claims that he turned down City and Chelsea to take the Bayern job.
The football pitches of England & Wales must be missing his thuds from yet another one of his dives!:p
Ryan Giggs does not like this.
Bugger Ryan Giggs.
Couldn't of put it better myself Joey.
Thanks Fergie, I don't really care what Ryan Giggs thinks.
Fascinating insight for you all there.
More of a Moyes fan then?

Guardiola in the future, maybe, but not until LVG has finished what he has set out to do.
