I'm reaching the conclusion that English clubs will never win the champions league again!

It's getting tougher because the Germans have sorted there league out, I love the way they run there league.

The English should look at the way they run it and copy it.

Man Utd match this evening

The market is forecasting 2.39 goals. Historically there have been 2.18 goals in similar matches according to our database. The market is pricing over 2.5 goals at odds of 2.38. Historically 33.3% of similar matches ended over 2.5 goals which translates into decimal odds of 3. This is hinting at lay value in this market.

The home team has scored at least one goal in 66.7% of matches. The away team has scored at least one goal in 73.3% of matches. The home team have scored two or more goals on 22.2% of occasions and three or more goals on 28.9% of occasions. The away team have scored two or more goals on 28.9% of occasions and three or more goals on 11.1% of occasions.Both teams have scored 48.89% of the time or decimal odds of 2.05

Another area that is also useful, as it adds context to a match, is to look at where this data came from. So on this occasion the market is pricing up tonight's match in the same way as it priced up: -

2011 - Aston Villa vs. Man City
2011 - Sheff Utd vs. Nottm Forest
2011 - Stoke vs. Liverpool
2011 - West Brom vs. Tottenham

So.... when you look at this match this evening, ask yourself if that is a fair assessment or not and then you can bet or trade accordingly.

Can't say this evening's result surprises me. :(

I just hope it hastens Moyes's departure.

Rooney alone probably earns more than their entire squad, so it says something that they won so comfortably...

He's got a huge job there, as would anyone else who replaced him

So many wonderful servants to Fergie have grown old together, they look a team with no pace. Giggs, Vidic, Ferdinand, Carrick, Van Persie, Evra are all in their 30's - Rio in particular is finished, his legs have gone

He then has others like Young, Cleverley and Smalling, who are simply not good enough.
I also think they made an awful mistake paying Rooney so much money - he looks slow and totally past his best

However, he can't replace everyone with £37M signings like Mata, because Man Utd don't have personal wealth in the boardroom to match Man City, so they'd quickly descend into financial difficulties, especially with no Champions League football

Fergie is a tough act to follow, and there are deficiencies in the United squad, but I do think he could have done much better with the squad that won the Premiership by 11 points last season.

I also think he's paid way over the odds for Rooney, Fellaini and possibly Mata, when he could have used some of those funds to buy some decent defenders. He's also sent out the message to agents that he's willing to pay silly money when he wants a player.

I also think his attitude is negative - not just in terms of his public comments, but also in terms of his football strategy (such as leaving Kagawa on the bench on the time). Perhaps that negativity has rubbed off on the players, and maybe it is why United no longer play with the desire and determination which can allow you to grind out 1-0 victories, even if they aren't always pretty.

watched some of the game in the pub last night.. someone said "Can you imagine listening to that dreary dreary depressing guy Moyes every f....g day, no wonder the players looked like they were attending their own funeral".

Change has to happen and the Man U air of invincability is weakened still more... :|

Without running the risk of winding Ferru up, football has a history of seeing extraordinary shifts in power

When Alan Hansen lifted Liverpool's 10th League title in 15 years in 1990, who would have believed that 24 years later they'd still looking for their next. Or who have believed after Man Utd won the European Cup in 1968, they wouldn't win the league for another 25 years!

I'm not suggesting United are going to go 25 years without winning the Prem again, but I do believe it will take at least 5 years to create a squad to challenge City, and without Champions League football, they are going to be financially under huge pressure
