I read a terrific article by Neil Pearson early last week titled "A good time to play United" He was upbeat and told us he felt optimistic, this wasn't the blind optimism normally associated with a certain Mr Dodd. It was a reasoned argument suggesting the recent signs of improvement would continue and could see us home
Unfortunately, Neil's prediction didn't quite come off, but he was a sight closer than some the people who responded.
Neil was told: "You`re clinically insane" "You`re crazy, crazy I tells ya " "you`re more naive then optimisitic" And "You`re sad and deluded individual"
He was asked, "Are you insane? Can't see it being less than 3-0 to United." And "don't you mean its a good time to play Everton?"
Other responses included, "United will win 3-0, in second gear" "I can only see three goals in the against column" "We will get hammered 4-1"
One guy even claimed "Moyes always runs up the white flag" ... then proceeded to run up the white flag himself. I'm sure everyone who responded to Neil would have been more than happy to be proved wrong.
DM is here to stay, whether we like it or not, but he knows aimless hoofball will no longer be tolerated. I believe that, over the past few disasterous weeks, he's been given that message loud and clear, the last two games would indicate this ? even if Arsenal had too much for us.
At the end of the day, Saturday's game only gave us a point, but if everyone adapted Neil's defiant attitude, we will be in much better shape for the battles to come.

When I say everyone, I actually mean everyone, that includes the manager and players
The players were defiant, you guys... were not
You also state that a bust watch is right twice a day, this is fact?

"but if everyone adapted Neil?s defiant attitude, we will be in much better shape for the battles to come".
Fact: It?s no good ?everyone? adopting (I?m presuming you meant adopting) Neil?s defiant attitude if the players don?t.
It only works if if the players do.
They did in the second half for the first time this season.
Great but... just a shame this attitude was missing against Portsmouth... Liverpool..... Liege.... Liege.... Newcastle...
Fact 2: Even a bust watch will be right twice a day.
