It might have too happen. He's on a big contract which could be a problem.
It could be a problem, but spending sheds load of money only to end up with another write off season would be a bigger one, todays win could be a big confidence boost for Tuesday though.
Was out, though I was able to keep up with the game on radio. Great result, for once I'm looking forward to MOTD and nice for Mata to finally get one. As I've said before, he is the single biggest reason why we are now able to beat the teams we would normally expect to beat. By all accounts Villa did their usual impression of a bag of wind at our place. However, it was worrying that apparently, Bentake could have got a hat-trick? I don't imagine Bayern will be so wasteful....
PS Didn't hear on the wireless if the idiots flew the banner or not and how was it recieved if they did?
Moyes should at least get credit for Rooney. He's scoring goals and it's because of Moyes that Rooney remained at the club. Didn't he invite him over to his house for a 1 on 1 chat?
The Rooney situation annoys me because while yes Moyes got him to stay he managed to do it by simply rolling over and acquiescing to all of Rooney's demands.

I agree in so far as I would probably have sold Rooney in the Summer. However what i will say is that at least Moyes was able to make a statement, remain consistent and ultimately delivery with Rooney staying. Thats a chain of events we have seen precious little of from him so far.
The plane stunt was crass but beating a poor Villa side hardly means everything is great.
We never asked for miracles and it pisses me off when ill informed fans of other clubs and some of our own fans continue to peddle this lunacy that we did. Expecting us to go from Champions to maintaining atop 4 challenge isn't looking for miracles.
Dead right.
I haven't met one United fan who expected us to win the league this year.
We all knew there would be a period of adjustment & that might mean surrendering our status as top dogs for a season or two.
What I & others that I know did not expect was how abject we would be.
It is not unreasonable to have expected us to have been competitive & challenging in the top 4, so I just don't understand why some folk don't get this.
PS: Before I forget, a nice win for us today.
More of the same & more often from now on please, Mr Moyes & the lads.
In your opinion, deleted due to verbal abuse i received and the little kliq on here.
What clique are you referring to?
There aren't any cliques on here; there are just a collection of posters, all with different opinions, some of whom object to being patronised & called 'armchair fans'.
That is nothing to do with a clique or verbally abusing you.
The Red Issue Manchester United supporters’ forum, sponsors of today’s primary aerial banner, has released the following statement following the successful flying of the ‘WRONG ONE –MOYES OUT’ banner and the club’s victory against Aston Villa:
Today’s protest was never just about a few results in isolation, nor should today’s result leave supporters with any illusions. The supporters who backed the protest in several polls today have seen the value of the move. That some supporters have chosen to get carried away about a result that was, until recently, the very definition of ‘run-of-the-mill’ demonstrates how successfully standards have been lowered
since last summer.
The flypast was a statement of protest about the overall trajectory of the club under a manager who has no clear plan, no powers of motivation and who projects a sense that this job is simply too big for him in every utterance, whether in comments regarding the opposition, or in his reported comments today regarding the quality of the playing squad.
We would remind him that this squad are the current Premier League champions.
Having spent almost £70m on two new players, David Moyes has taken the club to seventh position currently, breaking several unwanted records in the process. While we all expected a period of adjustment, claims that a such a significant drop off was inevitable or acceptable following the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson ring hollow when we see the improvements made by those of our immediate competitors that changed their manager last summer, including Moyes’s former club, Everton.
Even accepting the fact that several players will need to be replaced in the near future, we do not believe that David Moyes is the person capable of rebuilding the team to the necessary standard. There are better, more progressive, managers out there. Time for a proper alternative.
Robbie Savage on Football Focus said ' If they do really bad playing BM on Tuesday - then move Moyes out and replace him with Gigigs and Fergie as interium until a top manager comes available in Summer'
I missed Football Focus but Robbie Savages suggestion is by far an away the best way forward in the long term interests of the club and the supporters.
Bringing Ferguson back is 'the best way forward'?
I'd expect that kind of lunacy from Savage, but not from anyone with any level of sense.

I read a detailed article on the BBC web site written by Savage talking about the MUFC line up for the CL game V BM which talked about how Mata should be deployed - he did not seem aware that Mata was unavailable cos of being cup tied.
Honestly if I wrote on a prestigious national web site I would make sure that my basic facts were right - but not our Robbie it seems

That's why we cheer city on through gritted teeth. Just think of how far behind us they are in terms of league titles. ;-)
Arsenal have blown it so it's a case of the lesser of the three evils. I'll be getting my Chelsea scarf out next time.
Just call me small time. :cool:
The stunt went ahead and it was rightly booed by the majority of the supporters
So it only succeeded in making fools of the people who wasted their money paying to make the stunt happen
Why does it matter if it's a plane or a group of supporters holding a banner outside the stadium? It still gets the message across.
The Rooney situation annoys me because while yes Moyes got him to stay he managed to do it by simply rolling over and acquiescing to all of Rooney's demands.
Replace Stoke with someone else then. My point remains the same.
If my dad or uncle knew how much I've defended SAF this season, and against Manchester United fans, I think they'd disown me.

not technically true is it. you deleted it before i quoted it. I just hit back on the browser to copy it due its sheer pathetic nature
Dead right.

I confess to a small time mentality too:D

Cannot dispute a single word of it. Sums up my views entirely.
I wouldn't disagree with a word of it.
Me neither, Bloody hell Terry, you and I are agreeing on something

Going backwards is the way forward.
There is a certain genius to it…….
You say 'genius', I prefer 'massive stupidity'.
Both are equally pathetic.
Supporters are there to support the team. The chairman/owners/director etc are there to decide on the manager's position.

Our season in a nutshell.
Of course it is, I'm being flippant.
