Damn that goal by Chelsea...

They look tough, I'm picking them to win the league this year.

Tim Howard taking a 1 year break from the US team to spend more time with his family. He's not retiring though....kinda odd. Writing on the wall?

I don't think he plays a major match with them again.

I think he calls it quits after the next Gold Cup.

Gold cup would be during his break. Perhaps he will try and play in copa America.

He will probably come back for a semi farewell tour when we have like 3 friendlies in the USA or something.

He's a head case and I'm sure it'll continue at Liverpool. That's why his fee was so low. He has potential but he is getting worse not better. Even at 24.

So, ManU...

I guess when I said it wasnt Moyes who needed replaced, but rather the roster I wasnt as far off as some thought.

Both were correct. Moyes was straight garbage, roster is close to straight garbage.

lol @ 4-0 to MK Dons.

My point was no one really knows what Moyes could've done with actual talent.

Did you see half the players that played? Only 2 who get first team play. We have plenty of talent but a lot of baggage that needs to go. We will still buy another player or 2.

LOL at any reason to lose 4-0 to a 3rd division team.

Also, did you see the 1st 2 games. They look terrible.

Yes I watch every single minute of every single United game. So what we look terrible. We also have a bunch of injured players.

We have holes in the roster and Moyes is an idiot and his tactics don't work at a team like United. He's a defensive guy and those tactics work at mid-level teams like Everton who don't have the talent like the top teams.

Again, my point is, Everton probably had more talent than ManU last year...thus, his tactics that pissed everyone off.

More like how he handled everything. His comments after games, especially when we lost, were mind boggling. We had the same exact team last year as the team who won the EPL the year before. Which shows that Sir Alex can coach up a team with a great system.
