It's only Fergie who seems to believe MU did better than Everton.Forget the statistics.69:31 possession means nothing!!....hahaha!! Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Has Fergie missed a trick?? Yesterday they were bullied all over the pitch and contrary to what he said in regards to the strike force - football has changed this is not 99 and the games are controlled and won from attacking midfielders with guile and speed and Kagawa fits into this mould perfectly, however 1 is not enough, scholes,cleverly,carrick are not it and this is where he is soley lacking. Spain showed this with 5 midfielders and no recognised strikers, hence Chelsea signing Hazard,Marin and Oscar, Arsenal got Carzola (what a signing) and now they will get Sahin from Real Madrid (another potentially explosive player)and they still have rosizky,wiltshire. There no wingers now as we knew them wingers are now the full-backs hence the predicatable play of Young and Nani as opposed to Zabaleta and Clichy and this is now the new width. I fear for Vidic granted he has not played for a while i feel his best days are behind him (this is what injury does to you during old age - see michael owen)and i think it's the end for Ferdinand however we wait and see. Well Man U will bounce back but they need midfielders and defenders but watatoka wapi? They have lost a game on paper they had earmarked to win now it's early days but it has given a huge psychology boost to others read Arsenal, Chelsea, City, Newcastle, Tottenham and now unfortunately they will be playing catch-up no stories of Man U always starts slowly this season will be tough with 5-6 teams capable of winning it however as some-one said Game on!! First blood to City and Chelsea!
The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.

Quote:Writing off Manchester United is a popular pastime amongst fans of the Premier League, and Monday night’s defeat to Everton provided the perfect opportunity for further pessimism.
There’s always something wrong with the Red Devils going into a new season, a flaw that will finally get the better of the canny Sir Alex Ferguson despite his side’s status as enduring title challengers. “This is finally the year!” the cynics cry, and yet the fall from grace never materialises. The red half of Manchester often smiles come May. Man United's loss to EvertonI agree with a huge part of the article. All in all, we lost a very painful 3 points yesterday. In the EPL, 3 points is a huge deal and in as much as we are not in the final weeks of the campaign, I felt the pain as acutely as usual!!! We messed in one game and might be quite a number of games before we catch up with everyone else. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Billionaire Soros takes Man U stake By Associated Press NEW YORK -- Billionaire financier George Soros is getting in on the game, taking a minority stake in soccer club Manchester United. Soros disclosed in a regulatory filing on Monday that he owns 7.85 percent of Manchester United's Class A shares. The filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission was made by Soros' hedge fund, Soros Fund Management LLC. The 134-year-old English Premier League soccer club went public on the New York Stock Exchange earlier this month. The American family that owns the team, the Glazers, have voting control over it through Class B shares that have 10 times the voting power of the stock sold to the public. The Glazer family also owns the American football team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Malcolm Glazer is CEO of First Allied Corp., a holding company with numerous business interests. His two sons Avram and Joel are co-chairmen of Manchester United. While Manchester United has rabid fan support, it did not receive as hearty of a welcome on the public stock market. Its debut over a week ago was considered disappointing, with enthusiasm for the celebrated team overshadowed by its debt load and financial track record. Manchester United carried 416.7 million pounds ($666.2 million) in debt as of March 31. It had no debt when it was bought by the Glazer family in 2005. Manchester United's stock closed at $14 on its first trading day, valuing the club at $2.3 billion, slightly higher than the record $2 billion paid for the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team earlier this year.

What a shitty footballing model by City....Arsenal bought Adebayor for 3M pounds and 3 years later sold him to City for 25M pounds and 3 years later they sell him to Spurs for 5M pounds??? And still pay him over half of the wages for 2 years??? Unsustainable! Maybe that's why Mancini was complaining about no signings, their new director of of football was brought in specifically to ensure that sort of business does not continue to happen. ION, yesterday ESPN reported that Man Utd had lost a combined total of around 1,200 days ( I forget the exact figure) due to injuries in the 2011/2012 season as opposed to City's 182 days!!! And they still lost on goal difference! Now it is very clear that Man Utd will not have it that easy this time - all the teams have gotten better yet Man Utd have started off the campaign with Jones, Rio, Smalling and Evans all out and Fletcher still an unknown. That's like having Kompany, Lescott and Toure all missing for City. Fergie has to address what is the source of all these frequent and long injury spells across the board (remember Cleverley and Anderson last season?) If Fergie does not address the root cause of this re-curring problem then I guarantee that Man Utd will have another trophy-less season!Remember United were on the verge of winning an unprecedented 4 league titles in a row before losing it by 1 point to Chelsea under Ancelotti in a season where Fletcher and an inexperienced Evans played as center halves in a season where Vidic and Rio were out for a combined period of around 4 months! Same thing happened last season until we resigned Scholes who actually single handedly kept the race with City for the title alive. That is NOT going to happen this season!!! Fergie should buy more defensive cover and a steely midfielder as he addresses the injury problems. BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!

Maybe that's why Mancini was complaining about no signings, their new director of of football was brought in specifically to ensure that sort of business does not continue to happen. I was amazed by that deal!!! Adebayor earns a cool £175,000/= a week and has 2 years remaining in his contract. Tottenham want to sign him but they don't want to break their strict wage structure so they decide they can't pay him more than £80,000/=. Adebayor decides it's better to earn £175,000/= a week sleeping than £80,000/= playing and refuses to sign the deal! So Man City have to come to a comprise. Sell Adebayor to Tottenham for £5m, Tottenham pays him £80,000/= a week while Man City pays him £95,000/= a week!!! How F-ed up is that [for City]. In the next two years City will pay Adebayor a cool £10m while he is playing for the opposition. Last year they paid him at least £5m on top of what Tottenham were paying him!!! Do the maths. Having sold him for what is in the range of £4m - £5m and paying him at least £15m over three years, Man City have basically given Adebayor to Toteenham free of charge and given them £10m so that they can accept him!!! And what's more, this is not an isolated case. For most of the Man City players out on loan, Man City has to meet a huge percentage of their wages because they are just too high for the host clubs! But this one for Adebayor has just broken the records. You sell a player and continue paying him wages higher than what his new club is paying him and the amount you sold him for is actually less than a third of what you will end paying him??? WTF??? Kudos to Adebayor! Things couldn't have gone better for him. He gets to play regular football and keep his fat pay cheque. How cool is that? Never count on making a good sale.
