I think the fact De Gea still haven't signed a long term deal at Utd suggests he has been blinded by the bright lights of Madrid. With the way utd are playing just now, it's hardly surprising... Casillas won't go on for ever, and the move could be his ticket to become Spain no.1... -

Don't think LVG will be sacked, however if the panic sets in, who knows. Not so sure about the top 4 neither. We are all over the shop defensively, and turning into Wimbledon... Need a proper r/b + a commanding c/b. Expect Fellaini, Mata, Falcao to lead the exodus + a fair few defenders...IF they can find any takers. Unfortunately it looks likely that De Gea will be heading out as well. No wonder he can be bothered hanging around. LVG looks clueless... -

Yes Makalele was the anchor in that Chelsea side. Matic is a great holding midfielder as well, but not as commanding as Keane and Viera used to be. Don't really see any Controlling / hard men / leaders as such in todays teams.... Pogba may turn into one. Had a quick look at 2014 WC squads, and to be honest there is nobody that stands out... -

Glassjaw (can reply to your post - technical issues?) I don't disagree with you regarding Keane. Nobody who's followed Utd through the years could. His biggest strength was his incredible will to win. Especially when the fledglings started out, he was immense. Countless were the times utd needed a spark, when Beckham, Scholes, Butt even Giggs weren't playing up to standard and Keane went total crackers... It definitely helped. Keane the player was the ultimate warrior on the pitch... P.S. My fav player is probably Bryan Robson, although Scholes is a close second. Loved Cantona as well... -

Roy Keane will never manage utd. He has screwed that up himself... Even his legacy at utd isn't that same. Used to sing his praises at Old Trafford, but you hardly ever hear that any more. Shame really...only bitterness... As the song goes Oh Keano he is magic, he wear a magic hat and when he saw Old Trafford he said I fancy that he didn't sign for Arsenal or Blackburn cause they're sh1te he signed for man utd cause they're f'ing dynamite... -

Can't argue. He's been really poor. Never was a midfielder but they still try to play him there... Fergie saw this coming... But Moyes extended his contract. The fact he then bought Fellaini and later Mata, made it totally insane as they are all no. 10's... Put Roo up front as a proper no. 10 or get rid of him. (swim or sink time for Rooney)... And stop playing De Maria in the middle... -

Totally agree. They look clueless atm... Playing De Maria with Rooney in the middle, means there's only 1 proper C/M in the team, and they simply get over run. If they want to play Rooney together with either Mata or de Maria, they should play only 1 striker. But preferably they should play Roo as a proper no.10 or sell him and play De Maria on the wing... a proper 4-4-2 formation -

Would love a player of Pogba's ability back in the Utd line up, and think Fergie totally mismanaged the situation in his eagerness to get the PL trophy back to O.T. However doubt he'll be back despite what he says... unfortunately -

Yes true...but yesterday was extraordinary though... out of the top nine teams in the league only two are through and two face replays. And the fact City and Chelsea got done at home to lower league opposition makes it even more remarkable... -

You speak my language my friend... Back to 4-4-2 very basic. 3000 travelling fans was chanting 4-4-2 during 1st half and at half time... says everything... -

Should go back to standard 4-4-2... 3 at the back system doesn't suit the players, and they look lost at times. Not a fan of Rooney in the middle neither, but if you play Rooney as a no 10, you struggle to fit in Mata, as he doesn't defend well as a midfielder nor work to his potential as a winger (ask Moyes). Would love to see De Maria on one wing and RVP or Rooney up top with Mata just behind. Ferguson never had any issues sitting top talent on the bench, in order to maintain the balance of the team. And mega yes Defence needs sorted big time before we have any chance of even pushing you lot. Just a final thought on united before I bore you to death... youth... On of the pleasing things with utd was always youth with pace, and I feel we have lost a step up front... So glad when they introduced Wilson against QPR. -

No worries bud. Yes, we all start supporting teams for various reasons. Chelsea and City are top dogs just now (unfortunately), but we will be back again soon. And I will still call you glory hunter and everything under the sun (smile). God knows I've been called that often enough myself... but that's supporters do to their biggest rivals. PS. Good win on Saturday for your team. Looked strong and very much in the driving seat this year. U-N-I-T-E-D -

Good for you Tom. Think there's a few ways you may become supporter of teams. The obvious one is where you have either grown up in the area or you've been guided by family/friends. The others often being because you happen to see a game where a team or one of their players played fantastic (often if you are from a country without real good teams)... As a kid we used to watch English games on TV and would chose teams to follow. I moved later in life, and it gave me the opportunity to go and watch united regularly, which is one of the biggest joys of my life (together with my passion for canucks). Have no issues with supporters of other teams... and definitely not Caboose. Like the banter... But you know how it is. Got to stand tall for your team... -
