Hats off to Southampton. Lots of players leaving, others agitating to move, yet currently 3rd and flying. Not sure they will last the full season but it's great to see a team respond to a perceived crisis.

Arsenal are still failing to convince, if we win on Monday we move to 4th before some challenging games. I had us being able to compete this year which currently feels a little ambitious but other than City and Chelsea! I think the rest is up for grabs.

I know Aguero shone yesterday but he along with Silva are the reason City are doing well. Both tend to pick up injuries and the rest of the team are not that great, Yaya has dipped, Kompany hasn't looked the player he was. Spurs should have gotten a point yesterday.

I only worry about Chelsea as they are more of a team and have strength everywhere. Just look at that City team yesterday and it was pretty poor on paper, Lampard, Sagna, Demechelis, Milner, Navas, Fernando.

These players are not title winning players anymore if you ask me - I'd be very surprised if we don't finish above City this season.

Beast I feel the same about City, I just don't know how many people on here think City is scary in reality they are more beatable then Chelsea.

Agree2 Disagree0

Based on the season so far, City and Chelsea are the best teams. Without wanting to be negative, we are 4th but have yet to convince against pretty average opposition. 4th right now is good, if we astray to click and particularly if the forwards get it together, we could see some great results.

Moyes, " United were wrong and should've backed me and not sacked me", "united were wrong to sell welbeck".
United did back you and you chose to keep a lot of our rubbish players and then spent £65m on fellaini and mata.
So please Mr. Moyes, give it a rest and go and find a job at Bolton or another championship team. You were simply not good enough.
Take the £7m and be happy that a loser can be rewarded in such a ridiculous way.

I watched the interview yesterday, and firstly it was good to see Moyes looking healthy again. The pressure on him during his last few months in charge must have been immense and he started to look very old and very stressed; it was certainly taking its toll on him, so it was good to see him looking fresh again.
His next job, in many respects, is bigger for him than the United job. I hope it works for him as he is a good manager, but without a doubt he was the wrong man for us and it was right that he was sacked

I have to laugh, he makes an announcement he is ready to return like he hasn't been for months? Galatasary didn't want him and ask most premier league supporters bar the lower few teams and they don't want him.

Actually this unfair nonsense is him talking like someone with a chip on his shoulder, outlining exactly why he was sacked and should never have been appointed in the first place. He thought he had 6 years and 7th was something to build from.

I hope he gets a job abroad or in the lower divisions so I never have to see his face walk down the touchline at OT ever again.

To add I recommend a brief but enlightening article by James Robson in Manchesters local paper. It is about planning LvG's successor but it makes it very clear the previous succession plan was mishandled.

Agreed redman. I have nothing against him. Hw does come out with some stupid comments. He was so out of his depth. He kept a lot of the players who were clearly not good enough as he didn't have the balls or the foresight to safk them.
Then he bought two players we didn't need. Broke all the records for all the wrong reasons and then he says we were wrong to sack him! Do me a favour!
