What are your expectations for 2013-2014 season ?

My big worry is that everton were notoriously slow starters in the league then picked up later. I think they started last season ok then fell away but that was the exception. That and hearing that Moyes is reactive (let's taylor the way we play based on the opponents weaknesses) rather than proactive (let's play to our strengths) with his tactics worries me. I wonder did everton start so slow every season because there's always a lag to reaction?

I'm sure he's aware of all this and will be looking to win the first dozen games ten nil. He's not an idiot and no doubt everyone at United is acutely aware of his issues at everton.

If he doesn't win the league it will have been a failure but if he wins a domestic cup he'll be kept on. I don't think we have a hope in europe.

Ronnie, Robin, Thiago and Shinji tear defences to shreds

I think United signed Moyes, so the fans won't expect so much the first season

I fully expect that by November, we'll have footage of the players looking up to the stands where SAF is giving out directions all while Moe, is crouched Wengeresque on the touchline with his head in his hands.

agreed

couple of signings and we'll be competitive on all fronts.

not expecting miracles, its going to take a year or so to get over sir alex.

I think Robin Van Persie will be made captain, and we'll do £#%&!ing brilliantly in Europe - if RVP stay's fit we'll have a good chance of making it to the Semis, and from then on, it's anybodies guess. Premier League will be a tough old battle, too hard to call, but I can see us retaining the title with one or two astute purchases (midfield).

Chicarito for Golden Boot winner should we sell Rooney.

Maybe, but he normally had worse players than the opposition. He's not naive enough to approach it like that.

Pretty much the same as last season, with more hysteria when games are lost.

Well, a major complaint about SAF in his final years is that he was more bothered about nullifying the opposition's strengths than playing to our own?

which was funny because it wasn't remotely true

if we are going to win the league, we'll need a couple of inspired purchases. we've been quite shit for the last three years and got away with it largely. staying still won't be enough and we'll be slipping back.

only realistic hope is rooney gets his act together and we have no significant injuries.

I wouldn't put money on us winning anything.

you missed out hit the ground running, but not a bad effort at cliche-riddled football speak

you haven't totally corrupted me, then.

2nd/3rd in the league

at least the quarters of the champions league

pushing for the league cup. setting the bar low but it is moyeser's first season

can forget about the fa cup, past four years we've been knocked out by the rentboys, dippers, berties and scum so we'll draw arse in the 4th or 5th round to complete the set of @#%&! clubs consecutively beating us in it

really though, that wouldn't be a bad first season for moyes, even if it may render us trophyless. it'll show that we're still ambitious. i just know that if it happens, everyone, from united fans, to abus, to the press, will be saying united are finished.:shakehead:

It's all %@#$&!s whatever happens.

If Sir David won the Treble the @#%&!s will say it was Fogwoggles team that did it.

Don't bother emphatically judging Moyes until all positions are filled with players he buys or brings through.

5th

If we sign a couple of players like a Fabregas and another good player we will do well. I think under Moyes the players will be well up for it as much as ever. Who knows, having a younger manager who is hands on might help? The players will be determined to prove they can win stuff without Fergal.
