We've basically only faced Ligue 2 sides to get here, but still pretty impressive nonetheless.

This is taking too long. Why can't you just leave it on holiday overnight and come back. I hate to get pissy but for fuck's sake... four seasons in almost a month? I'd rather watch paint dry.

I think those are some useful signings. Gierzswiski (can't be bothered to check) is a goalkeeper for the future, but I'm going to try and get him going ASAP in order to start improving his attributes. With no youth team I have to really be proactive. Casiraghi is the striker to lead us right now. I'm switching from my 4-4-2 and changing over to 4-3-3/4-51 hybrid. I think it offers us the best chance of being more competitive in this league.

My only problem is I've still yet to find one defensive monster. I feel like the pieces in my team are good enough but it just doesn't click together, yet. We'll have to see how we fare but I imagine it's another relegation fight for us, despite having some truly great players like our midfield partnership which is easily a Europa League worthy pairing.

Luckily I'm a legend at the club now so I could probably survive relegation. Only one way to find out...

I think this season it should develop a fair bit seeing as she is one of the main characters in book 3

That isn't my contention, it's to do with the pacing of the story in the television show. Narratively we know that for her story to be at all worthwhile she has to make it to the coast with an army and her dragons otherwise it's a completely wasted plot line. So having it end with the slaves looking at the masters and then fade to black.

What happens next? She dies and the slaves lives are unchanged? It's just a bit stupid.

This could be about to evolve into a who will replace Moyes thread, rumours abound he's to be sacked. Can't be arsed to go for a long post about his failings, here's my thoughts;

- Poor transfer business, 27m for Fellaini, never a Man Utd quality player and not what they needed, £37m for Mata who again wasn't what the team needed
- Tactical transition, he's never really played with AMCs, especially in the Mata mould. Hard transition to make for him, and obviously the mentality step up from being Everton manager
- Dressingroom discontent, Rooney contract, rumours about RvP, etc
- Ageing squad, Fergie got out at the right time
- Poor squad, Man Utd only have a handful of players who could get into other European elite teams

I don't believe fully in it being the weight of expectation in replacing Fergie, some have said that any manager would have struggled, I don't believe that. Pep or Mourinho would have had Man Utd in the title hunt this season, and its not too ludicrous to suggest Man Utd could have appointed one of them.

The fact of the matter is Moyes wouldn't have got a look in at Chelsea, Arsenal or Man City, yet he got the Utd job. He was never good enough, so its senseless to expect him to takeover a title winning side in need of a rehaul and challenge for the title. He's had no experience of challenging for honours but he's walking into a club that demands that from the off. Its like signing a mid-table striker who gets 15 a season and asking him to go out and get 40 goals a season in a title winning side.


So what's different then, managerially. Because at Everton he went out, got players, made a formation, managed the people, was a moderate success. Surely at Man Utd, where he has far better resources and players, it should be vaguely similar. At what point do you say "okay, maybe it's not Moyes, maybe it's the players; they're not good enough." Of course there is the argument that they won the league the season before... so then one has to go back and ask, "what is he actually doing himself to make the team not play well.

Out of his depth at probably the most unique club in England. Manager before him was pretty darn good so living up to that was always going to be difficult.

Personally I don't think his defence bar Rafael is very good at all. Going forward Man U are brilliant but Moyes prefers caution to attack.


Mate, Bar Rafaeli is a supermodel, not a footballer...

Forgive my ignorance but I haven't been following the Premier League much this season. Dip in dip out bullshit. But as everyone knows; I have an extensive knowledge of football. But there's something I don't understand and I'd like someone to explain it to me.

David Moyes in his eleven years (extensive knowledge of football) at Everton was considered a good manager. I don't want to start saying things like he was a good motivator or a great tactician, I want to keep this as simple as possible:at Everton he was a good manager. I think we can all agree on that.

So what has he been/is he doing at Man Utd that is hobbling the team? How can the influence of one man be the root cause of all green rectangle based problems? Some detailed insight into that, and also maybe some kind of understanding on what made him a good manager at Everton would be greatly appreciated.

Job done. Time to keep building. I've got some interesting moves lined up, but I think our main priority is finding a major goalscorer. Assad is okay, but he's not going to kill in this league. I think it's also time to start building better facilities. With that said, I don't have a youth or reserve side so keeping those players working is hard. But I'll survive because that's what needs to be done.

Generally pleased with where we stand at the winter break. The addition of Camara should improve our defence, of course the reality may be wildly different. With that said, at this stage at least we're not fucking out of it like Sedan are. I've burned a lot of money gambling to keep us up.this season, if we don't then it could wreck the club for a while.

Kulikov looks like a beast.

Determination could be better, but he has a good variety of mental attributes already at good punching level. His best technical attribute, dribbling, has made me change my tactics and play a 4-4-2 diamond with him as a trequartista. I think that's probably going to be the best way to implement him.

Some big player turnover coming into the club. Francisco Costa was refusing to sign a new contract, despite agreeing to stay at the club if we were promoted. Whatever, the money from his sale and the sale of Rieko meant I was able to splash out and buy Kulikov, who is going to be a big player for us

I'm desperate to survive this season and I think the players I've brought it can do that, but it's going to be tight, that is for sure.
