That's you're excuse? Maybe we should blame the stars next time we lose.

That'd still be a more solid idea than writing off a season based on preseason friendlies, though.

Who said it was an excuse? The excuse is that it's pre-season.

Arsenal have won all 3 pre-season games by masses of goals. City have won 1, lost 2. I suppose Arsene should end his pursuit of Suarez, they're clearly already nailed on for the title.

Prediction has %, usually 50-50 from neutral point. Then you add all sort of factors and then the odds starting to shape. All this games during pre season so far gave me opinion to say that I predict a bad start. It might turn out well, and I think it will eventually, but unless Moyes finds the way to shut down opponents from dominating the midfield, it's going to be tough.

If you start looking at all the factors then you would actually be going the opposite way.

Conditions are worse
Players are in worse
travelling is worse
transfer business not done
Players not even attempting at 100% as no competitive edge

We could have a bad start because our start is tough. That was known well before pre-season

Where did I write us off? Find it, qoute it, please. I said, and I'll repeat it - IT DOESNT LOOK GOOD, even for a pre season. I have high hopes but it's going to be tough if Moyes doesn't find the way to 'hide' our defensive weaknesses.

Don't care about Arsenal nor City. If they think they have squad for winning the title, so be it. I would disagree with them (Arsenal, not City).

And read my post again.

All fair points, but I can't see shape or idea how Moyes wants to play. Pre season should be about that as well as getting fitness and familiarity with players. I can find positives in our games, some players are looking pretty sharp, some great attacking movements and similar. But when it comes to United, I'm perfectionist. I want to see good defending and attacking, thus I'm much louder when it comes to bad things.

Based off pre-season? Have you gone mental? We dont usually do well pre season anyway

Pre season games are worth ****, it's only for building fitness and also when you consider the humidity and temperature then it's hardly surprise that we didn't do well. There was drinks break and that says it all about how tough it was for European teams to play there.

Rumour is Veratti wants to leave, would be great option if Cesc deal doesn't come through.

I'd be uber jelly.

Most likely won't make a move for him just like Thiago. It's really frustrating to say the least how many midfield players we have already missed out on and it has come down to chasing a player who doesn't really want to leave their home club.

 

[Nick Chelsea]

I would be sad if you managed to get Verratti. Really. Nobody at United (MC wise) has the potential to be anywhere near him in the future.

You can have Torres and his wages. I won't miss them.

Why are some fans behaving like we are getting relagated over here ? We pulled of persie last season near the end of the season.Give the new manager some support and time ! Fergie asked you for that remember ??? The preseason has gone decent few yound lads have impressed.Zaha should not be loaned out at any cost !

 

[GodCubed]

Wilf's going to destroy opposition defences for you.

The problem is, challengers are arming themselves , while United sits on its ***.

Well, City's transfer campaign is hilariously bad so far, but Chelsea are looking pretty scary.

If Cesc betrays Arsenal, I will never believe a single word any footballer says for the rest of my life
