Looking like another defeat for Moyes. Man Utd 1 -0 down against Newcastle at OT.

Quality not good enough, lost their edge in many aspects.
Champions league qualification still possible but very very difficult.
However, Moyes will be given time, I'm sure.

He'll keep his job this season but CL qualification is a must otherwise really can't see him lasting much longer. CL football is in Man Utd's DNA. To not qualify is unthinkable.

My take is that he will be allowed non-qualification this season.
Non-qualification next season may see his resignation "by mutual consent".

Surprising no mention of Rene Meulensteen (current manager of Fulham and former first team coach at Man Utd).

Rumoured that RVP was very close to Rene, just like De Gea was very close to former goalkeeper coach Eric Steele.

Of course, David Moyes had to come in and bring in all his own coaching staff, which is actually very common these days.
Shows also how spoilt the players can be these days, want their way in almost everything.

Re: The Official TCSS Thread , UEFA Champions League predictions

Former Man City manager Roberto Mancini has led his current team Galatasaray into the knockout stages of the champions league.

Galatasaray beat Juventus 1-0, Juventus have to settle for a europa league place. Wesley Sneijder scored the winner.

Current Man City manager Manuel Pellegrini and his players apparently didn't realise that a 4-2 scoreline over Bayern Munich would have been enough to make them group winners. They thought they needed to win by 3 clear goals, hence when the score was 3-2, Pellegrini took off Silva and Dzeko but didn't put on Aguero, thinking that they had no chance of scoring 2 more.

So Man City ended second in their group, when they only needed one more goal to be first.

When teams finish level on points in the Champions League, group positions are decided by head-to-head records and not goal difference. If City had scored one more goal, head-to-head records would both yield +2 goal difference for the away team. However, City would have won the group because they would have scored more away goals from home.

I was a bit puzzled why Pellegrini brought on Jack Rodwell instead of Aguero in search of a 4th goal, all seems a bit of a missed opportunity as Bayern looked more than beatable last night.

He took off Silva and Dzeko and brought on Rodwell because he mistakenly thought his team needed 2 more goals and not 1, and had given up and was calling it a nite. :o

Napoli 2-0 Arsenal: 10-man Gunners go through despite two-goal defeat

Arsene Wenger's side suffered defeat in Italy, with Mikel Arteta shown a red card in the second half, but the result still seems them qualify at the Italian side's expense

Arsenal qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League despite suffering defeat in Napoli on Wednesday night.

Second-half strikes from Gonzalo Higuain and Jose Callejon sealed the win for Rafael Benitez's side but Dortmund's victory over Marseille meant that the Serie A outfit had to settle for a place in the Europa League after finishing third in the group.

 

[THE_CHANSTER]

Hardly an impressive performance by the Gunners. Coming second in the group means they could play Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or PSG.
Not really what Wenger was looking for.

No disrespect to Giroud but Arsenal need a top class striker in the January transfer window...Suarez comes to mind.

Some good football this weekend with EPL matches against potential rivals for positions.

Man City vs Arsenal (either could go on and win the Premiership)
Newcastle vs Southampton (both teams doing well, can Alan Pardew win against the club that sacked him in 2010?)
Spurs vs Liverpool (fighting for top 4 spot, this will be a real test for both)
Aston Villa vs Man Utd (can Utd stop the rot? either could finish in the top 10 spot)

Aston Villa vs Man Utd (can Utd stop the rot? either could finish in the top 10 spot)

1. Hope Man City vs Arsenal is a cracker and not cagey. Probably the 2 best teams in the BPL this season, but both coming off champions league debacles.
Man City didn't even know what they needed to top the group, and Arsenal got it totally wrong, they had a chance to top the group but chose to qualify the nervy way.

2. Newcastle vs Saints should be a good game, both teams with good players and playing good football but Cabaye is suspended and Saints have a few injuries.

3. If Spurs cannot beat Liverpool without Gerrard and Sturridge, they don't deserve to finish top 4 and above Liverpool. Together with Fellaini and Jovetic, Erik Lamela has got to be the biggest transfer disaster of the season so far.

4. RVP is injured so this is the chance for Moyes and the other players to show what they are made of. If Man Utd can't beat a Villa side who looked very poor against Fulham last week, they don't even deserve a europa league spot, mid table at best.
