Yup a great story, unfortunate about the bill they have picked up caused by ineffective governance selling out to a TV company, unscrupulous agents, stupid owners and victory at any cost plastic supporters who wouldn't know the difference between a 4-5-1 line up and a 2 step line dance

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

I wondered when this was going to be mentioned. Brendan Rodgers has been in management since November 2008, while David Moyes January 1998. Brendan had to make wholesale changes to the team and the results are starting to show, did I tell you we ate TOP of the LEAGUE:D


David Moyes inherited a Premier League winning team, so does he leave the wining formula in place? No he has a clear out and brings people he is happy with. He tries to buy players he knows, nothing wrong there. This is very much like the change we went though when Souness took over.

It will take several more games to see his style (just look at his history at Everton) take over from Fergies, but I cannot see United winning the premiership this season, you will be top four, you have the players there, but will it be enough?

I would expect any supporter to back his manager, we would, but the glory years are over.
The Manchester United of old would have beat Liverpool, a team who had a injured player, Sturridge, and their star Biter, sorry Striker, not playing. The hunger they had with Alex was not there, it remains to be seen if it continues, the next few months will tell.

I see that the Deadwoods are top of a league - The Most Money Spent on Agents by a Championship Side. Blackburn Rovers, £3.5 million????????? Who the hell did they buy:confused::D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

So now the dust has settled on the weekends matches lets see how our teams all did?
La Creme, showing all the usual great signs of greatness, smashing a 10 man Crystal Palace, its harder aginst 10 men and back to their rightfull place on top of the league.....oh hang on.....:D

Blackburn, manginging to keep their unbeaten run against Burnley, their greatest rivals, hopefully starting to show signs of improvement.

Stanley, well they are having a painful start, only 1 point, but it is early on.

Lastly Liverpool, what can I say. Well we could have won, as Barrie said a few weeks ago Swansea are a tough side. Nice to see we can hold our own even withput our star vampire, sorry striker, only one more game to go.
Its nice to be on top, its been a while since we were there:D:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Oh Dear.:eek::D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Well what looked like a bad weekend, has turned out not so bad after all.

But then again Sur Alex had worse results and won, of course David Moyes does not need Alex's personality, charisma, determination, special relationship with ref's, after all he's a winner:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

What a crap month September has been. My team going into meltdown, notorious slow starters maybe but this has been ridiculous. Outplayed, out thought, ponderous, mindless and totally lacking in passion and work rate. Ah well, things can get worse, but hope springs eternal.
Mind you, other than the NN, nobody else has been setting the league on fire, what a team they have assembled, but I do think it is going to require some inspired juggling of players to keep them all happy in World Cup season. National Managers are often wary of including bench warmers.
It just hasn’t been the football either – 2 weeks in that marvellous edifice overlooking Blackburn that passes for a hospital – it just does not compare with Bury where I have been twice this year. It was 2 weeks of what I assume purgatory to be. Perhaps it was Jay’s revenge for VFC continuing to be crap. So that has kept me quiet for a while, just starting to feel myself again.
Probably won’t feel any brighter after tonight – but saw some interesting statistics yesterday – the scousers have a better record without the Vampire than they do with him??????????

Now back to sniping at each other over our respective teams......

Tonight could be very telling,
I wonder who will get first bite at a goal (or Leg), I hear Suarez is hungry for this game:D

Seriously though this is pure gold from DM, from todays Independent.


"Moyes said ahead of another forbidding clash, against Liverpool in Wednesday night's Capital One Cup third round, that "a lot of people" thought the title race was only about Manchester United last season. But "it was probably the [form] of other teams that were poor," he said."

Although he did not explicitly say the last years team we c:D:Dp, he certainly suggests it.

Bring in tonights excuses:D:D

Oh well, if we could finish better it may have been a different result.

Still Manc won, fair and all. Rooney is still very much a danger for other teams, Moyes did well hanging on to him.

David Moyes: Manchester United not got world class players to win Champions League | Football News | Sky Sports

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Well in the main Moyes has inherited most of this talent from the magnificent owd Red Nose.:D:D:D:D:rolleyes:

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

As much as I do not want to do a cmon copy and paste (the article is here:Glazers ready to back David Moyes with major funds during the January transfer window to save season for Manchester United - Premier League - Football - The Independent), I could not help it this time.

Glazers ready to back David Moyes with major funds during the January transfer window to save season for Manchester United


The Glazer family are ready to invest substantially to reshape David Moyes’ Manchester United squad in recognition of the new manager’s claim that he has inherited a club short of world-class players.
.....

The club’s owners the Glazers acknowledge that the Premier League may be far more competitive this season, despite the indifferent starts that Chelsea and Manchester City have again experienced, and that it may take time and patience, as well as investment, to see the club through the managerial succession. Only now is it becoming apparent quite how significant the guiding hand of Moyes’ predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson actually was, in making an average squad look powerful.
......


United have already seen – and welcome – Moyes’ characteristic reluctance to make impulsive spending decisions and the problem in January may be the high prices they are quoted. They found Everton’s chairman, Bill Kenwright, unwilling to sell Leighton Baines at any price this summer and though the Merseyside club’s coach, Alan Stubbs, has confirmed that Baines did ask to leave for Old Trafford, United would have to make an unrefusable offer.
....

Moyes brings his squad out here to eastern Ukraine for potentially their toughest game in their Champions League qualifying group at Shakhtar Donetsk tomorrow, having offered a far more negative assessment of their chances of success in the tournament than Ferguson ever did. After Moyes delivered several brutally honest assessments of the resources at his disposal, consideration must now be given to the effect of that strategy on the players’ morale.

Well I have highlighted the important bits and edited some of it out, so did Moyes really inherit a ageing average squad? The same squad that walked the league last year? I would be interested to hear a Mancs view.

Shakhtar Donetsk are no easy side, a loss there will heap even more pressure on him.

How do the player react to the fact their manager feels they 'are not up to it'?

It seems at the moment the owners have given Moyes their backing and intend to weather the storm, it could be a long one. i for one hope they give him the full 6 years, after all he managed with Everton he seems to be doing the same here.:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

I honestly think owd red nose knew exactly what he was doing when he quit!! The scum last season were far off being as good as previous scum sides, plus ageing was a big factor in the side. Only thing i aint sure of, is did he deliberately set Moyes up,to make himself look even greater?

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

How the hell am I supposed to convalesce when my team appears to be going into meltdown. Other than beating the scousers – and that was probably done as a favour so that they can try and concentrate on the League – did note that the Scouse Ladies did win something even though the suggestion was made that they bought it.

Why Moyes changed his team around after doing the scousers, who knows. I thought the idea of Jones and Carrick together was good as with the back four – Buttner needs a bit more experience though. I do concede that certain players are not good enough for La Crème – Nani, Ferdinand, Evra, Anderson, Young and possibly Valencia if he doesn’t start doing again what he does best. Kagawa has a way to go to adjust to the demands of the PL and perhaps the worst thing of all is Vidic, he appears to have lost that domination of the box.

And so to this week, SD away – that can be utter humiliation and then another pitfall lying in wait at Sunderland.

Ah well, time will tell – watch this space.

Thanks to all for the personal good wishes - getting there thanks but maybe another couple of weeks before back to normal - let the jousting continue.

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Welcome back Jay:alright:

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

A better week for La Crème – a draw against SD where no English team has succeeded before and a scrappy match yesterday but a win is a win and 3 points, so maybe that is the turning point for us;) After all, we are only 6 points behind the scousers which is nothing (are they lining up for KD to take over when they sack Rodgers? Must admit it seems strange to sack a manager and then appoint him as a Director):confused:
The Deadwoods were on a flyer, have they now gone into meltdown? Scoring for the opposition and a player sent off for violent conduct – wonder if any bets were made? It must be galling to see Burnley way ahead sitting on top of the division with almost double the points – and the likelihood that Rhodes will be snapped up by a better run club come January, where will that leave them? VFC probably intend to turn Deadwood Park into a chicken farm:p
Stanley need to turn something around pretty quickly – pathetic defence on Friday, defenders allowing the opposition to virtually stroll past them, when are they going to wake up?:(

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Welcome back Barrie,
The Moysiah is at his favorite place, mid table....
I would have expected the team of champions to have beaten the bottom team by more than 1, after all we did it by 2 the week before.

As far as bringing Kenny back into the fold, just righting a wrong, after all the Mancs kept hold of SAF.
Bring on the nexr game

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Yes, SAF is a Director now that he is retired as the Manager - he never walked away from the club, nor did he get sacked by them, unlike KK - giving the scousers a 6 point start is easy (I hope):D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

touche.

Found this on Red Cafe (Manc U Forum)

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Not quite as crap a weekend as recent ones have been - better than getting beaten. The scousers didn't do any better and they were playing against 10 men - a couple of bad decisions by the officials, perhaps they were invited to the Welcome Back KK extravaganza.
Better for Stanley too, let us hope they can kick on from here.
And the deadwoods? well, only a question of time before they started to play at their normal level, but at last they seem to be achieving their objective. Worst of all for them is that Burnley have almost twice the number of points and are top of the league

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

And Moyes said: "We have to do better.":eek:

And how much is he getting paid to come up with such a succinct, incisive analysis:rolleyes:

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Nice to see you have not lost faith Barrie, yes there is light at the end of the tunnel, i do believe in David Moyes, as long as the board carry on believeing then things should work out quite nice, well for us anyway.:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Long way to go yet, all he needs to do is let Foolani go out on loan to someone like the deadwoods:p:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Tough night for 'la Creme' at home, tough side to beat. I mean imagine the opposition scoring a Own Goal in the first two minutes, then you have to slog it out till the last minute.
Pure league winning stuff.

David Moyes, The Chosen One.:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Still unbeaten in the CL this season - of course, silly me, you lot have forgotten what the CL is as it is so long since you were in it:p:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Fair enough, but that is your legacy, passed down from old red nose.
But of course we all know David Moyes keeps proving you don't have to win to be a winner:cool:
Who knows you might make it into the semi final.

Tough weekend for you this weekend Stoke at Old Trafford.

Keep the faith Barrie, all non Man U fans are counting on you, David ' The Chosen One' needs time to give United the same knowledge he gave to Everton.

Every day I wake up and remember David Moyes is the manager of Manchester United, then I know it is going to be a good day.:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Better than waking up and finding that the scousers have once again consistently failed to maintain the extremely low standards that they have set themselves:rolleyes::D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Oooh since the start of this season Man U have won 3, lost 3 and drawn 2.
While we have only won 5, drawn 2 and lost 1.
I can only hope our low standards keep going:D:D:rolleyes:

Keep believing in David Moyes, I am sure the side that walked the Premiership last year will be able to finish 4th in a league, maybe their CL group?

As much as I don't like doing Cmon style postings, this is a good read of Man U under David Moyes, so far.
Where has it gone wrong for Manchester United and David Moyes? | Football | theguardian.com

I particularly like the last comment

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Moyes is playing Fellaini in the players preferred defensive midfield role.
However, he is also playing Carrick alongside him which leaves a lack of central midfielders breaking forward into the box.
Moyes didn't have the same tactic at Everton, he always had a holding midfielder but he also encouraged the other 2 central midfielders (Everton 95% of the time played 4-5-1) to get forward in support.
At Everton, Fellaini was used far more as an attacking central midfielder, similar to the way Tim Cahill was used by Moyes, filling the space behind the striker and acting as a target man.
But this is not his preferred position, and while he is effective as a supporting midfielder, he is best IMO in a box to box player.

I cant believe Kagawa has not been used more.

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

And as I have stated previously, you wont win a thing under Moyes (fergies charity shield not included).

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Fellaini was a big player in a mediocre team - he has a lot to learn yet about fulfilling the same role at United - only time will tell whether he can
raise his game to fit into the United role. Kagawa shows promise but still has a way to go - perhaps he needs the match fitness.
Moyes still has a way to go in determining his best team and formation. We have been this many points, and more, behind but have still triumphed at the end of the season:alright:

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Quite a nail biting afternoon, I seriously thought that a team who likely to be relagated were going to steal a easy win at the Manc's. Thankfully they managed to turn it into a win, to be fair though, Stoke have only managed to beat Crystal Palace and West Ham in the league this season, hardly title winning teams. Phew I thought that maybe the Moysiah was in danger of losing his job before Christmas, if he can keep these standards we should have at least a season for him to help transfom Man U into the new Everton.



Glad to see the lads kept to their low standards Barrie, we are only 6 places higher than you:rolleyes:
Good to see Stanley getting a win and Blackburn salvaged a point as well, so a good weekend all round.

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

See Moysie pulled it round for the Manky U's today, still up to half time I assume he was having a severe case of "hoopitis". :D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Watched the Utd. game today ... this is the kind of coming from behind that they need ... not a great fan (not even a little one); but I did get the sense that folks were writing them off too soon. Maybe at last the EPL is becoming more like major league baseball in that any team can beat any other team ... once that is established it all boils down to heart, guts, and history ... along with a slight edge in skill. With their world class goal tending, talented youngsters, and quality veterans they will be in there at the end of the season. I think today might be the turning point. They got off to a lousy start this season, but this game could be the end of the beginning (thanks, Winnie:D).

Today Stoke....
Yep the tide is turning, looks like Man U will be winners this year, after all David Moyes record shows what a winner he is.
David Moyes, the gift that keeps giving.:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

I have been waiting patiently for the scousers to stick there heads above the parapet - perhaps they are stuck up their nether regions:p. Where were the SaS men, seemed that they were as invisible as the defence - only 3 points ahead of La Crème now BG, how long before we overtake you?:tongueout
Great day for the deadwoods - is it true that they are organising an open top bus tour to celebrate?:rolleyes: See that Burnley are still at the top and a good few points ahead of the deadwoods - are they going to start their revival and a push for promotion next year - the 2014/15 season?;)
Stanley left it late but salvaged a point (was it a touch of Fergie Time?), and are no longer on the bottom and - another win could lift them a few more places.:)
La Crème turned on the style in the first half, but 3 substitutions by half time changed the play completely, but 3 - 1 will do me any time.
Beginning to look as though it will be between La Crème and the NN;):D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Well yes we lost, our second loss this season, still it was against Arsenal, the team at the top of the table.
However the Manc's beat the mighty Fulham who are....16th in the table.
Keep the faith Barrie, the we are all counting on David Moyes being the Manager of Manchester United for a long, long, long time.

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Do you really think that 3 points ahead now are enough to keep you ahead of La Crème at the end of the season - I bet you still believe in the Tooth Fairy as well as Father Christmas;):D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

I dontp' expect anything Barrie, but it is rather nice to be in the Top Three.
Lets hope its a good result for the Mancs tonight, long may the pressure continue.



Manchester United and David Moyes a match made in heaven, long may it continue.

Speaking of points, Hull are only 3 points behind.................Manchester United!!!!

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

What a night for the Mancs, great game and what a result 5-2 classic, for City.


Of course another club had a tough night, Real Sociedad refusing to produce a own goal, meant the Mancs only got 1 point on this leg.:tongueout

It is a good feeling that David Moyes id the manager of Manchester United

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

What a load of crap, it was almost as bad as watching the scousers.
Until he realises that Young just isn't good enough except for his theatricals, Fellaini, thankfully will miss the next game and Kagawa is useless playing out of the centre. Could understand his idea was probably to save some of them for the weekend but he has got enough strength in his squad for them to do better than that
Still, top of the group, and just as importantly only 3 points behind the scousers in the Premiership and plenty of time to overtake them as usual.

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Not much to say about your scouse gits have you, but of course there is so little to be said about them.:tongueout

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Keep dreaming Barrie, the only real chance of any real silverware for the Mancs this season, and the plastics will demand some, is the Champions League. The pressure is building and everyone can see it. Good luck against Arsenal this weekend, is the Moysaiah going to go for the draw?

Let us remember David Moyes, IS the Manager of Manchester United, a true winner:tongueout

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Just a thought,
After 10 games the lowest in the Position Manky U under Red Nose was,

2005-2006, 6th Place, they ended up finishing 2nd at the end of the season.
The stats, Won 5, Drawn 3, Lost 2, with 18 points.

Compared to,
2012-2012, 8th Place (their lowest ever in the history of the Premier League).
The stats, Won 5, drawn 2, Lost 3, with 17 points.

The difference was in 2005-2006, you had red nose.
Now you have the Chosen One, who once reached the dizzy heights of 4th with Everton, 2004-2005.

Its nice to know David Moyes is the Manager of choice.:tongueout:tongueout

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Well Dithering Dave has been managing for 15 years. The Charity Shield was a left over from last season.
Brendan has only been managing for 5, he has some time to go yet to match the ditherer:rolleyes:

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

So are you saying he hasn't won anything?

Subject: The Annual "Scousers Are Not Stupid" Convention

53,000 Scousers meet in Anfield for a 'Scousers Are Not Stupid' convention.

Steven Gerrard addresses the crowd.. 'We are all here today to prove to the world that Scousers are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer please?'

Rodgers, as an adopted scouser feels he should set the standards, gingerly works his way through the crowd and steps up to the stage.

Gerrard asks him 'What is 15 plus 15?'

After 15 or 20 seconds Rodgers says, ' Forty!'

Obviously everyone is a little disappointed. Then the Scousers start chanting 'Give him another chance! Give him another chance!'

Gerrard says, 'Well since we have a capacity crowd, world-wide press and global broadcast media here, I think we can give him another chance.'

So he asks, 'What is 5 plus 5?'

After nearly 30 seconds he eventually says, ' Twelve?'

Gerrard looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh.

Everyone is disheartened and Rodgers starts crying.

But then the 53,000 Scousers begin to yell and wave their hands shouting, 'Give him another chance! Give him another chance!'

Gerrard, unsure whether he is now doing more harm than good eventually says, 'OK then, what is 2 plus 2?'

Silence hangs over the stadium.

Rodgers closes his eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, 'Four?'

Pandemonium breaks out throughout the stadium as the Scouse crowd stand to a man, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream,

'Give him another chance! Give him another chance!'


Sorry DinG

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

And your point is?

Lets not forget David Moyes is the chosen one, he will lead Man U to the promised mid table land.:tongueout

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

And where will Dodgy lead the scousers to - mid-table mediocrity yet again? They certainly know what it is like to not even get into the top four:rolleyes:

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Typical Manky U Propaganda! :D

[QUOTE=Boeing Guy;1082578]And your point is?
/QUOTE]

You have made the point for me.:tongueout

Why do you concentrate all you thoughts and comments on the manager - why not apply yourself to what really matters - the teams and their performance:confused::confused::confused::D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

I knew that you would understand it unlike some others:)

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Well, 2 nil up already & 11 attempts on goal, ain't life good! :D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

[QUOTE=Barrie Yates;1082666]Seeing we are second....Stuffed Fulham, proper, somthing Manky U struggled to do last week, maybe its the Players fault.... most of them were there last season, so it must be the Managers fault.
What confuses me is this, plastics on here have made jokes about our managers over the last several years, BUT how dare we take a pop at the chosen one.:rolleyes:

Get used to mid table Barrie, carry on like this and you will stuggle to get a Europa League place next year. On the other hand we may be looking for our SIXTH CL cup.:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Oh dear, so losing to Arsenal while La Crème beat Fulham was a significant moral victory for the scousers. I wonder how you now rate your lot beating Fulham whilst La Crème beat Arsenal - yes the team that ran rings around you and stuffed you were the losers at the Theatre of Dreams - only 3 points behind you - watch out, we are coming to get you:tongueout:tongueout:tongueout:rolleyes:

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Deary me, someones making rather bold statements. :) We may well have to remind you at the end of the season of this little pearl of smugness. :D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

oohhhh the Bogeyman is on his way.

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Quite a mixed week. Stanley unlucky to lose in the last minute, but perhaps better for them to concentrate on climbing up the league.:)
Burnley maintain their place at the top of the Championship - 15 points ahead of their local rivals.:D
The deadwoods are back to normal, losing to a team that were below them, Oh some things never change.:rolleyes: Perhaps it won't be long before their derby rivals are no longer Burnley but Stanley - now that will be great:rolleyes::tongueout

Already commented obliquely on the scousers but a good win for them, better than La Crème did against them but we did play at Craven Cottage rather than at home.

A tense game for La Crème, no problems at all in the first half but Arsenal came back into it in the second half but even with a makeshift defence we survived without too many scares - that is until Giggs and Fellaini were introduced, then I was worried.;)

Nothing next weekend so you are alright BG, you will still be 3 points ahead in 2 weeks time - at KO that is;):tongueout:tongueout:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Silly me, the title race is over. Time to give it up. The Mancs are going to win it again......
well it was nice while it lasted.

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Looking into your crystal ball again - I still reckon it will be one of the top four the way that results are going - NN, Gooners, Chelski and of course La Crème will be there or thereabouts:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

A great weekend for Stanley:D pretty good for the deadwoods and the scousers in that they didn't lose:p But one must take the bad with the good - but good news for both of them :rolleyes: - Burnley didn't go further ahead of the deadwoods and La Crème didn't get level on points with the scousers;):D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Keep the faith Barrie, lets remember you have the Chosen one

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Aye, chosen by Fergie! All those folk that said he was a miserable git with no sense of humour, seems they were quite wrong, appears he's caused some chuckling now. ;)

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

Your hibernation must have been disturbed, go back to sleep, the scousers don't get beat until next weekend:D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

You wish! :D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

I believe in Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy too;):D

Re: Mancie's Thread - The Road to the Titles
 

I would if I were you Barrie,

Out of interest:
11 Games in Last Season,
Mancs 27 Points, only lost 2, Top of table
Liverpool 12 Points, lost 3, 13th in table.

Now,
Liverpool 23 Points, only lost 2, 2nd in table
Mancs, 20 Points, lost 3, 5th in table.

This weekend could be interesting, we have a tough derby with those from across the way, while the Mancs, have a really easy game against newly promoted Cardiff, although it is a away game.
