The EPL is here with us and though its too early to make a call as to who will win the league we can make educated guesses as to who will be there or there about and as usual it will be the usual big 4/5/6 we all know, thats not about to change.

However change always throws a curve ball even to the best of us and its easy why Man U fans are jittery/nervous as how the season will be. I know for sure Man U will not win the league and this is not judging by their recent performances but purely through the man that sits in their dug out.

I will paraphrase what Jose said after the recent draw against Man U " At 70 min i see we cant win the game and i dont want to loose, so i bring in a defensive midfielder" this was in answering the question why he dint play Mata. However thats what a title winning manager gives you, the teremity to read the game and analyse as it unfolds. However fast forward March/April and we are what ferguson coined as "squeeky bum time" then what kind of decisons will Moyes make, how will he play champions league quarterfinals away knowing he has a chelsea at home coming Sunday. We all know he has never been in this situation and this is where titles are lost and won. The players are the same but what goes into preparation is what is different, otherwise Chelsea would have continued winning the EPL after Mourinho left but we found out it never really is easy to replicate a winning formula.

A damning opinion article on football 356

I'm not sure what to make of the article...I'll give Moyes time like Fergie asked but I'm afraid for him he will never get as much time as Fergie did. Utd hadn't won for 20 years before Fergie came and it took him all of another 6 years to get the EPL. Man Utd right now is TOO BIG to go for 3 seasons without a trophy,..I think that's the longest we went without the EPL (not even a trophy) with Fergie

@RicDees, thanks for giving me a good laugh. For a start, I think you should first focus on your team, even with Mourinho back, their two last EPL games have been far from convincing. As for the highlighted part, . Check these quotes:



Someone else also mentioned that Chelsea were clueless going forward in that game. You do remember the many long balls by Ramires upfront to no one in particular. So as much as we have a new manager and people have already written us off, last season the old geezer got the same number of points as Moyes from similar fixtures against Swansea, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Ati temerity!

@Nonstopping this - sure its been awhile, my opinion it will be a 3 way battle Chelsea/City, United/Tottenham and Arsenal/liverpool.

@Justblazin, thank you for quoting the ever objective English press and to add to that Moyes will give a good account of himself in the champions league as they are all touting.

We were away to the champions and came back with a point. I'd bite your hand off if we were given that at the beginning of the season. A point away to the champions is brilliant the onus is on Man U is to better or eqaul that - ofcourse then the stakes will be much higher.

We played shit yet you could not win at your home ground what the f*** you talking about! Am sure you watched the game with Bayern, (Champions of Europe) against 9 men - it will take a huge effort for the big teams to win at chelsea.

Atleast you know, it's called parking the blue bus. Moving on.

I don't think it will be "normal noise" if you lose to Man City later on this month.

Can be imitated but will never be duplicated!

Any bets on the managers to be sacked? My money is on P Dicanio and Alan Pardew . Gone by December.
