BTW, speaking of abbrevs, I don't understand why Real Madrid trio is "BBC". Shouldn't it be "BRB"?

United defenders be like "Are we in our penalty area yet? Good, let's finally start closing down opponents".

LOL
Fellaini im just so confused at Yanited shape.
Counter attack, Fellaini is 2nd furthest player forward? How and why, he is playing holding midfield ffs! Makes no sense! Then he gets ball half volley, free back post and barely hits target >.<

David Moyes is such an oldschool tactician.

- Cross the balls into penalty area.
- When in doubt, play long ball to strikers.
- Forget pressing, let opponents pass ball freely.
- Defend agressively only as last resort.
- Leave all creative, attacking play to wingers.

...seems like his whole philosophy. Too bad that such caveman football requires different kind of players and current team has very hard time adjusting to this backward evolution from what Fergie was preferring. Mata's strong sides are so hindered here.

Another:
- Play Cleverley whenever he is available.

This is what he was getting slated for all the time at Everton (later end) and in pre season training with his training methods of RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN in pre season. Not the new style which is all ball work and more "fun" style of passing ball to get fit.
He is a bad manager and is proving so imo. Had WHOLE summer to get transfer targets sorted out...signed 1 player in Fellaini who has been very woeful. Had 31 days in January and like 3 months before that knowing his squad shit...signs Mata who has been woeful...Yet they going give him £100million plus? LOL ok gl with that.

Dortmund and Schalke decide to draw 0-0 today. Should've been our victory but I'm still happy. Losing 2nd place to Schalke at home would've been awful.

Braunschweig fighting! Not a lot of games left but I admire their fans and the spirit the team shows again and again.

Well, that kind of approach might bring some success to clubs that don't want anything more than the middle of the table (cough, Stoke, cough) but of course for MU the goals are much, much higher. Moyes was "just some EPL manager" before Fergie picked him and I wonder what the hell did Sir Alex see in the guy, considering he never get anywhere with Everton (compare this to Ferguson himself, who collected two international trophies with probably even more inferior Aberdeen FC before taking over the Old Trafford). Maybe choosing a successor should've been Ferguson's job in the first place?

Besides, it's not a good sign if the team that loses his manager actually benefits from that:

Everton is six points ahead of Yanited with one game behind. (Yanited 31 games, Everton 30)

All hail to Roberto Martinez!
