According to Moyes interview post match he said our squad is pretty much the same as it was last year when we won the title.

Just shows what an amazing manager Fergie was.

My sentiments exactly. Moyes isn't going to come out and bag the squad he inherited.
It's not a great one to be honest.
The jury sits on a verdict on Moyes the manager, obviously.
Agree with the comments last night that United have had a triple by-pass and are in recovery mode. The drop off is bigger than most expected though, but the fans have been spoilt over the last 20 years .

Great night for Arsenal.

We're still no chance for the title with our huge holes in CM and up top.

Torres needs to be put out of his misery, time to give up on him and walk away. Should have kept Lukaku

Cech's future looking shaky with a few mistakes creeping in to his game, with Courtois breathing down his kneck he needs to get his act together.

I'm amazed you have persisted with Torres for so long.

We were lucky to escape with a point against Southampton, thought they were terrific and outplayed us. Hard place to travel to, but I still have grave concerns about how easily we can be opened up. It just happens far too often.

50mil is the reason. Plus a 175k a week wage makes him impossible to shift.

He plays one good game a month which just isn't good enough for a team like Chelsea.

Yeah we have been very fortunate in having Fergie and the success for many years now. Now we need to face the reality that Fergie is retired and its now a new era for us.

What are you referring to?

What are you referring to?

The draw between Arsenal and Everton.

All things going to plan(well this what I'm hoping anyway) we should be 2 points behind Arsenal after the next round with our game Christmas morning to determine top spot.

Going to be a very interesting 2nd half of the season. In the first half of the season Arsenal play Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool, Southampton and Everton all at home and the 2 Manchester clubs and Newcastle away.

It could have been better.

True.

A winner from secret agent Lukaku would have made it better.
