Manchester United 2013/2014

[red amoeba]

Moyes celebrated like he just won the treble when Man Utd took the lead 2-1.

Once again like shampton, moyes stupid tactics backfired again.

We nid a change before he drag Man U thru the cleaners. Talk big about top 4, knn can finish top 10 tao chiu liao

LOL... 81 crosses against Fulham. Moyes has just broken another record.

If you're not going for top 4, then might as well forget about Europa as it is an annoying midweek distraction. Sometimes you need to fly off to far, exotic places such as Russia or Ukraine for matches.

Finish 7th or 8th, do good transfer business in the summer, and try harder next season.

AVB will fuck up the team even worse. Chelsea and Spurs found out the hard way.

When you're faced with an opposition that is going to defend in numbers,the midfielders and strikers should shoot on sight at every opportunity they get. This is where Hernandez will be very useful. He'll capitalize on any rebound.

Forget AVB. I agree with Laksaboy, he's the worse possible choice. If they're really desperate, Capello is the man to turn United's fortune and yes Rooney will be very unhappy. He's style is very similar to SAF and the players won't dare to fark around with him.

Capello is over-rated..............he always abandon club when it's in decline, he only wants to coach strong teams.....

when Milan was in trouble, he was asked to come back.............he kana sacked becoz he can't turn the club around.....

 

[THE_CHANSTER]

..he always abandon club when it's in decline, he only wants to coach strong teams.....

Strictly speaking, this comment is not correct. He successfully led England to qualification for the Euros in 2012 and only resigned because he had a difference of opinion on the John Terry affair with the FA.
He is no better or worse than Roy Hodgson.

Barclays Premier League
Venue: Emirates StadiumDate: Wednesday, 12 February

TEAM NEWS
Arsenal forward Yaya Sanogo is available to face Manchester United on Wednesday after five months out with a back injury.

Mathieu Flamini completes a three-match ban, while Aaron Ramsey, Kim Kallstrom, Thomas Vermaelen, Abou Diaby and Theo Walcott are all injured.

Manchester United pair Phil Jones and Jonny Evans will both miss the game with calf injuries.

Midfielder Marouane Fellaini is still out with a groin problem.

MATCH PREVIEW
Neither of these sides can afford to allow a chastening weekend to become a dismal week.

Arsene Wenger admitted his side's dismantling at the hands of Liverpool "raises some questions" about Arsenal's title credentials.

David Moyes remarked on Sunday that Manchester United's failure to win at home against bottom-of-the-table Fulham was "as bad as it gets".

LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Mark Lawrenson Football analyst: "Arsenal had a total shocker at Anfield on Saturday and they were that bad that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is probably best off not analysing it too much, and just moving on.

"Manchester United also have players that can hurt Arsenal but there is no way they will go out the same way that Liverpool did."

Moyes called it "mental softness". It's a charge that has more commonly been levelled at Arsenal, seemingly every year since they last won a trophy in 2005.

Both sides are lacking leadership on the field. Arsenal's record signing Mesut Ozil has been a bystander in some big games of late. His £42.5m price tag demands that he is typically phenomenal, not peripheral. The suspended Mathieu Flamini is badly missed in the middle of the park. Olivier Giroud looks drained.

As for Manchester United, is captain Nemanja Vidic the ideal man to rally the troops now that he has announced he will depart Old Trafford in the summer? Robin van Persie continues to score but looks subdued. United's midfield seldom dominate.

For Arsenal, at least, the setbacks this season have been rare.

"We tend always to forget how good we are when we are not successful," said Wenger on Tuesday. "We can show now until the end of the season that people who think (we cannot win big games) are wrong."

Moyes' mantra was similar: "We are a top side and hopefully we'll go and show that."

If both sides back up those words on Wednesday, it promises to be a better game than the reverse fixture, in which Robin van Persie's winning goal against his previous club provided a rare highlight for Moyes this season.

For at least one side though, the post mortem will continue.

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head

•Manchester United have only lost one of their last 13 meetings with Arsenal in all competitions (W10, D2, L1). That sole Arsenal win came courtesy of Aaron Ramsey's goal at the Emirates in May 2011.
•The clubs have met 218 times in all competitions. Manchester United lead by 92 wins to Arsenal's 79 and there have been 47 draws.
•Arsenal have lost to Manchester United 20 times in the Premier League, more than they have against any other team.
Arsenal

•Arsenal's 5-1 thrashing at Liverpool on Saturday was their first defeat in nine league games (W6, D2).
•They suffered the heaviest defeat by a Premier League leader since Norwich were thrashed 7-1 by Blackburn in October 1992.
•The Gunners are unbeaten at home in the Premier League since an opening-day defeat against Aston Villa. They have only conceded one goal, against Everton, in their last eight league matches at the Emirates.
•Arsene Wenger's side have the division's best record when scoring the opening goal - winning on 16 of the 18 occasions they have done so, and losing only once.
•Mesut Ozil has failed to score and contributed two assists in his last eight league games, compared to four goals and six assists in his first 12 appearances for Arsenal.

Manchester United
•United were 10 points clear at the top this time last season. They are now 15 points adrift of the leaders, and nine away from fourth.
•They are 21 points, eight wins, six places and 19 goals worse off than at the same stage of last season.
•It's their lowest points tally after 25 matches since the 1990-91 season, when they were a point worse off.
•United attempted 81 crosses (including set pieces) against Fulham on Sunday, the most by any side in a Premier League game since Opta's records began in August 2006. Only 18 crosses found a team-mate.
•Robin van Persie has scored seven goals in his last eight league appearances. He scored 132 goals in 278 matches for Arsenal in all competitions between 2004 and 2012.
•Van Persie has scored in each of the last five meetings between these two teams, the first two times for Arsenal and the last three for Manchester United.

 

[Gallego99]

Capello overated? He has won just about everything in every major league.

"he always abandon club when it's in decline"........ No. He was sacked despite winning Laliga with REAL. Winning the league wasn't good enough for his boss then.

" he only wants to coach strong teams....." This is news. As Chanster pointed out, he guided England to Euro 2012 and the English team wasn't exactly blessed with talent in the first place and they were at risk of missing out on Euro 2012 until Capello took charge. Likewise with Russia........

 

[Gallego99]

Against Arse- 5 man midfield with lone striker. It would be silly of Moyes to try to beat them at their own turf. They have a far better and more cohesive midfield quartet then we do. Stop them from playing and we stand a chance of getting a point or even winning with an odd goal. Work on set pieces Moyes.

 

[red amoeba]

On AVB at least he won something w Porto , moyes ?

N to stick the knife further Everton is doing so much better without him.

His tactics against Fulham is amateurish n yet he defend his tactics by saying if we don't cross ppl will complain.

I don't mind even if they stick giggs there anyone but moyes

I will b happy with a draw.

The way to beat them to exploit their slow defenders. One is slow n lumbering the other prone to score own goals.

Ars passing is second to none... Our passing is like passing a grenade without pin around ... Finding no one

look at Capello's record................all the teams he won with were among the strongest if not the strongest team at the time........

this idiot also has a bad habit of pulling players from his old clubs to the new ones..............

Man Utd revenues boosted by TV and sponsorship deals

Rising income at Manchester United will be spent on new players to boost their lacklustre performance.

The reigning Premier League champions said revenues rose 11.6% from a year earlier to £122.9m in the final three months of 2013.

Commercial sales were up by 18.8% on the same period in 2012, while broadcasting revenues grew by 18.7%.

Revenue from sponsorship deals jumped by nearly 40%, the club said, with six new deals being activated.

Ed Woodward, Executive Vice Chairman said on a conference call: "Over the medium term, we would expect annual net player [capital expenditure] to track higher than our historical average as we invest in our squad."

The increases in revenues came despite United enduring a tough season, their first under new manager David Moyes.

The team are currently seventh in the league and could miss out on a place in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since 1995.

The club is forecasting revenue for the current season of between £420m and £430m, up from £363m last season.

'Record quarter'
Mr Woodward said: "We once again achieved a record revenue quarter with strong contributions from our commercial and broadcasting businesses despite the current league position, which everyone from the team manager down has acknowledged is disappointing."

Even if the club did miss out on a Champions League place, Mr Woodward said he believed there was enough new business in the pipeline to compensate, including improved Premier League TV contracts and new sponsorship deals.

Prof Chris Brady, from the Centre for Sports Business at Salford University, said: "If I was an investor, I'd be saying: your forecasts were based on being third in the Premier League, the finals of the Champions League and in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

"Well, they're not in the Premier League, they're out of the FA Cup and it's not looking good for the Champions League either."

The club, owned by the US Glazer family, said they were in talks with several sportswear companies, including existing supplier Nike, about replacing their current contract that expires next year.

On an adjusted basis, before interest and tax, earnings were up 1.6% at £51m

You got your wish. A draw a fair result for Man Utd. Moyes will be happier than Wenger. With Man City not playing because of the weather, I expect Arsenal to slip out of the top 3 to be replaced by Liverpool who really have been impressive this season.

They will be bitterly disappointed if they don't secure a Champions League spot next season.

 

[laksaboy]

Chelsea vs Liverpool at Anfield will be a big showdown. Brendan Rodgers was the student of Mourinho.

If Arsenal slips out of the top 3 only to be replaced by Spurs, I predict there will be plenty of mocking in North London (and by the small contingent of Spurs fans in Singapore).
