Keep the faith, the tide will turn

Pie in the sky nonsense

For me we have the best manager in the world, a bottomless pit of money to spend on new and better players, plus we are a massive attractive glamour club and it's only a matter of time before Jose' makes us great again.

Did we actually not have a shot on target against us for the second game in a row?

They had a shot in the 1st half straight at De Gea

That's what we should be happy with at end of the season, but we need to aim higher as top 4 will then be easier to hit.

As for turning the corner, I think we already have, compared to the past 3 years. I've seen things in our performances this season that have been absent since fergie's best teams. It's just a question of giving mourinho the time and backing to continue down the path he's put us back on

Top 4 is the target with a couple of cups

No one said it will be easy, but it has to be the attitude. Aiming for the title is a mental shift which makes it more likely we finish in the top 4.

Top 4? I serioudly doubt we will make top 5 this season.

You're certain we'll make the top 17 though aren't you pal? Aren't you?

Or are we getting relegated?

Just the one place in your predictions, how about you turn it in Dereck Acorah and see where we are around January....

They'll either click soon enough or we'll just keep throwing money at it until we do.

Either way I've completely lost the will to get properly enraged since the Watford game as i think it provided a stark reminder of just how far we have to go as a team. There really is no point in gazing a the top of the table because this lot aren't capable of getting there.

You can sit and grind your teeth about it and scream on about how much we've spent and how this manager is doing better than this manager... but you just come to the realisation, as i have, that you're only giving yourself heart palpitations, because the blokes in red shirts don't give 2 £#%&!s. They get @#%&!ted 4-0 and by the time they get back in the changing room they're over it.

There's an awful lot to be optimistic about. Yesterday could and should have been a rout, an awful lot of shit posted in the match thread, mostly by jem.

If people can't see that things are shaping up they really ought not be watching any more football and going around pretending to support utd.

Not only that Fellaini either starts or is a go to guy off the bench.

We do. He's just out of form.

Plus you know absolutely nothing about football going off your embarrassing team selections each week.
