Wow. Manchester United fans were bracing themselves for a season in which they may not immediately reach the standards that Sir Alex set and maintained for a quarter of a century.
But few could have imagined this – 9 months into his reign and the fans aren’t even surprised at the home defeats anymore. The standards have dropped so sharply that few now feel positive going into any game.
The reality of the situation is that the only thing Manchester United fans can hope for now is that Chelsea can win the title. It seems crazy that Manchester United fans would be rooting for arch rivals but Chelsea surely represent the lesser of the evils right now.
If Liverpool win the title Manchester United’s lead in the overall title race will be down to one – 20 to Liverpool’s 19. Another could of poor seasons and the record could be gone.
As for Manchester City, few could fail to admire their powerful and beautifully flowing brand of football, but fewer still from the red half of Manchester would want to see them lift the trophy come May.
So Manchester United fans will now, begrudgingly, hope that the old master Jose Mourinho can maintain their super results for the last 7 or 8 games. Chelsea winning there title would represent a minute crumb of comfort – but a crumb all the same.

Dear Mr.Moyes,
You have reduced me to tears so many times this season. Why are you continuing?.
Your tactical ‘know-how’ is no more than switching wingers and playing players out of position.
YOUR SELECTIONS ARE BIZARRE
Your player assessment is extremely dubious.
Your half time talks are non-events.
Your training methods have slowed every player down to your speed of thinking.
Three new pointers for you.
1.Liverpool could win the league.
2.Everton should win 4th.
3.The under 21’s and under 18’s are starting to lose more.So the Moyes Master Plan is working throughout the club.
4.But then again as Kevin Sheedy said “you never gave any attention to the youth’, and you are changing ours.
Well unless you go this week, you will face ‘High Noon’ at 19.45 on 1st April Fools Day……..Mr Moyes, you are no Gary Cooper, I recommend you hightail out of town.

Mr Moyes knows that he failed at Old Trafford, now what he is trying to do is not to resign till the time Manutd get tired of him and give him indemnities. Given his system everyone can see that he can’t win any match against a serious team. He doesn’t know the importance of wingers, that is why Evra and Raphael are having problems because they are always not covered.
