Arsenal fan here. Not here to get a bad reaction from you lot.

Wanted to know what the feeling is around old Trafford, it's obviously not a good time for you, but wanted to know if you think you will bring it back and get top 4?

What do you think moyes needs to do?

Is fergie being at the home games a hindrance?

What do you thing needs to happen in the next few markets?

What I think: 4th isn't out of reach but looks unlikely right now (things can chance awfully quick though.) I think moyes needs a clear out, I've said this before when fergie was in charge and it's become more clear now moyes is at the helm.

SAF being at home games shouldn't matter, but does it? Moyes must be a bit intimidated, but let's not forget he's an extremely experienced manager for his age and united aren't ones to hire and fire like abramovic (although not a massive trophy winner, but was also on limited funds at Everton.)

In the next few markets, not a massive overhaul is needed right away, look at Özil, he's lifted the whole team, that's all it needs sometimes, but over the next few windows I think most of the midfield needs to be changed, left back isn't good enough and the wingers aren't even nearly good enough.

Sorry about the long post, would love to hear you're views and I'm not meaning to p**s anyone off. Think it's always easier looking in from the outside.

Cheers guys, not the best of luck for the season hopefully. (That's the lonely one I meant I swear ;).

Akie, most united fans, especially ones who tend to be a wee bit diplomatic, are still 50-50 about Moyes

Personally I was 60-40 when he first came. But his over reliance on wing play and crossing even though it doesn't seem to work didn't do him much good, and even some pro moyes fans have started to make their concerns clear. I think the majority are willing to give him a fair chance and let him bring his own players before writing him off.

Fergie watching games from the stands has no bearing on the results imo.

As for a top 4 finish, with a fit Rooney, and a fired up Van Persie papering over the cracks, we're certainly capable of gathering some momentum and even finishing top 3 with the right reinforcements ( 2 or 3 decent players )

I find myself agreeing with Mick again this eve, good work sir! Although on the 4th spot - I think we are certainly capable but it will be a struggle bearing in mind we need to catch 3 teams. Fingers crossed from me!

Great minds think alike ;)

I think thirds to much of all tall order now to be honest, unless one breaks down. (Usually us)

A Lot depends on if we sign a LB and a CM this window, I rate Mata and he will create more for us, Mata alone would not get us top 4. Januzaj, Rooney, Mata playing behind RVP is certainly a step up though without reinforcements further back we will still leak too many goals.
