Couple of my old uni mates are Mancs and United fans and they want him to stay.Quote:

From what I can gather they aren't a tiny minority either, they said the away fans in particular (who tend to be the Manchester and surrounding area based diehards) are largely still onside.
Eddie Howe won't be losing his job I can tell you that. They had a record breaking minutes lost through injury this season, not playing in the conference league Thursday then EPL Sunday is a blessing.Quote:

Beats me why anyone other than a Rangers or Celtic fan would watch that game. The FA Cup final was surely a far more attractive option. Not that I watched either, although pleased to hear United won.Quote:

Indeed. Thing about United is they were utterly skewed by the phenomenal haul of trophies won under Fergie. Think they've actually won four or five domestic cups since he left plus a European trophy. Great by most clubs' standards but the way they've fallen so far off the pace when it comes to title challenges makes it seem like relentless failure.Quote:

Except much better results, signings and progress of course. Ain't a single Arsenal or Liverpool fan swapping their last 2 years, or their squad, for the mess at United.Quote:

That’s a fair point. But ultimately, trophies are the name of the game and as much as United are an absolute shambles, they’ve still got silverware.Quote:

We had a pitch invasion, mini-riot, police intervention, pitch clearing, Rangers holding things up with their greeting and statement writing, and still had the cup before the German Cup Final ever gets round to a trophy presentation.

Console themselves? Why would they need consoling? They're much better than United.Quote:

All fairly obvious I’d have thought.
Stick that in the trophy room.Quote:

A good day for United. I'm personally glad to see City lose.
Remember Wenger saying 4th is a trophy, sometimes managers talk s####.Quote:

They need to convert that nice football into winning something or they will just be another one of the losers.Quote:
