United were looking for continuity, ie a natural heir to Ferguson (or in reality, a second rate version) when perhaps they should have been brave enough to realise that Ferguson was a one-off and a change of direction was required.
-
Unless they believe that he wasn't a one off, but was put in that position by the environment in which he worked, in which case Moyes seems the perfect choice for continuity. I don't believe that but maybe the powers at Man Utd (including Fergie) did.
-
SAF was the best there ever was for man utd. it's hard to see anyone overthrow his as the best manager of the club. maybe MU feels that in terms of character, moyes is the perfect choice. however his tactics or player selection will never be as good. no doubt the team is in decline and a overhaul is greatly needed.
perhaps if mourinho gets sacked again as chelsea manager, he could take over moyes
but still i feel like teams like arsenal or liverpool(when they change managers), this is the interim period for MU, very much like before SAF stepped in.

I'm shocked - despite going out of the Capital One cup on Wednesday (both Manchester teams should get through the next round), Stoke won at home against Villa today. And the only two Aston Villa supporters (that I know) are in work tomorrow :). Looks like we could manage mid-table again this season…
And Pulis seems to working wonders with Palace...
-
Pulis didn't work any wonders yesterday
-
Sorry MorP :o

Zing!
Any thoughts on the Premier League going down the stretch? My nephew and brother-in-law are staunch Liverpoolians and haters of Man City. I'm pulling for Arsenal on the strength of the simple fact that my father brought me an Arsenal jersey home from a trip to England once.

At least our cricketers have set the bar nice and low. Even if we went out at the group stages with a draw and two losses it'll still be a better performance than what happened in the Ashes. Walcott missing isn't going to make that much difference, even if his finishing has been slightly better recently.
It's great that the PL is still nice and tight but it is this time of year that you start to get an idea of who is really gonna maintain their challenge. Arsenal and Liverpool need to avoid injuries to their key players to keep up with Chelsea and Citeh, although the KO stages of the Champs League can also put a strain on the squad (not that I can see Citeh or Arsenal going any further….).

Cmon Newcastle! 7 minutes of added time…..
-
Aaah, dammit. Sorry Mega I think I jinxed them there.
-
No worries Matt, I'm feeling a little aggrieved with the referee though…..shocking decision on Tiotes goal
-
Waiting to see it on MOTD. What a shame.
-
Yeah that was a harsh call.
-
Nothing I enjoy more than seeing Sam Allardyce furious. Today was a good day
-
cazorla's goals get better every time i see them. nice pass from wilshere as well for the first, the english pundits will have to get back on side with him being the national savior again i suppose. god knows he's no andros townsend though, the best english youngster since danny rose.
was a bit sad for phillipe senderos today as well when the announcer was talking about fulhams defensive options and mentioned that he wasnt in the squad, but made no mention of injury. he had so much promise before his career imploded at anfield.
-
Enjoyed the Liverpool/Aston Villa match today. Steven Gerrard is so good.
-
Good result for Liverpool tonight especially with Arsenal only drawing at the moment. Norwich & Newcastle both down to 10 men, we'll never score now even at home.
Looks like Mata is happy to be playing.
