I wouldn't go that far, it's only October.

It's a tough job for Moyes taking over from Sir Alex, obviously one point from two home games versus Southampton and WBA is fucking pathetic, we United fans have to be patient.

Southampton are a very good side and play a brand of football that has always caused us problems.

We should be beating them at home, but its only really a bad result in the context of the rest of our season.

Yeah, I've been watching Sky Sports News for the past hour of so. Some really interesting stuff. Roy Keane seems to have got the worst of it, and I wonder if he'll have anything to say on ITV tonight.

Yeah, I've seen a few, apparently United 'absolutely battered' City in the 6-1.

Oh, right. I assumed I'd misheard that.

Weird comment to make.

The amount of Scouse-baiting in the book is awesome - claiming Gerrard was never that good, that Liverpool mis-managed Michael Owen and that Benitez played a poor standard of football. I love it.

The 6-1? Pretty even until the sending off and then City ran riot

I find it really weird some of the comments coming out (such as all the top rated ones on the BBC article).

Ferguson was obviously no saint, but he was the the most consistent winner this country has seen, possibly, ever in Football. I find it really weird armchair managers coming out with shit like 'he was selfish', 'it was about his ego' and crap like that when they have the sum total of zero managerial experience, I mean, I understand that 99% of football discussion is between laymen who don't have a clue but it seems really bizarre to question so obviously a successful method of running a football club that Ferguson perfected.

Its open season for a lot of fans who are now revelling in this weird reality where they can criticise Ferguson and not have it blow up in their face.

As for the book itself, can't see where many of the stories are coming from. Beckham was sold because he was too big for his boots (we knew that in 2003, didn't we?), Keane was a gobby shite who was often divisive and was especially so at the end of his time at United (you don't say), Ronaldo was very good at football and Fergie made him stay an extra year (well duh).

As for the rest, it's classic Ferguson. He's refusal to admit anyone ever was better than him is absolutely crucial in why he was so good. It might come across as one eyed, bitter and even a little pathetic but its the sort of unwavering self belief, even to the point of completely denying whats in front of you, that you see in all successful leaders.

If anyone expected a magnanimous, conciliatory book where Ferguson drew a line under his managerial reign you haven't been paying attention.

I'd say City were marginally the better team, but the important bit is that at no point in that match were United 'battering' City. That's just a figment of his whisky-addled imagination.

They are likely the same idiots who were baying for him to quit as he was 'done' for the last few years.

Nah at no point were United battering City. Unless you count the race to the exits by the wankers I was berating

Went to my first match at Old Trafford in god knows how long on Wednesday. I ended up in the posh seats. Had to enter the stand via a suite. Padded seats, meant I was surrounded by the prawn sandwich brigade though!

I met Paddy Crerand and Sammy McIlroy.

Better result than my last European game which ended in a 5-1 loss at Pittodrie to Sigma Oloumuc.

Not as good as my last Champion's League game which was Rooney's debut.

The mock outrage at Ferguson's book is hilarious.

Rodger's fanning the flames with some absolute bollocks now too.
