Fulham at Man Utd

Although they've been on the skids (by their standards) recently, does anybody in their right mind believe we have a chance? Even though they lost at home to Stoke, VanPersie, Rooney and Mata started up front. How are we going to stop them? Answer....we're not. I'm hoping for 0-2, but praying at the same time.

 

Will Fulham be the tonic to temporarily cure the Hughes hiccups? I think so.

 

Is any gin available to go with that tonic?

 

My stomach hurts . . . that's about all

 

Well, other than 'locker-room malaise', I got nothin'!
I'm out of silly ass platitudes.

 

The last line of this clip summarizes my feelings.....

Nailed what I was thinking as well. I'm really hoping the new signings give us something to get excited about, but we may have to wait until WBA on the 22nd for that given the fixture list. Utd have a shaky midfield that we should be able to exploit, but with our sideways and slow passing game, I imagine Rooney will just drop deeper and take it off of us. Since we don't press, we'll probably make them look like world beaters. I'll go with a standing prediction of a loss from here on out until the team show they're capable of otherwise.

seriously folks, i need gin for this match. lots of gin. lots...and i don't care that it is the a.m. in Cali

 

Just a heads up that the game is on USA due to the Olympics being on NBCSN this weekend.

 

That's called the breakfast of champions bscene-drinkingbuddies: Unfortunately we are the cure all to everyone else's ills.

 

I'll go with this stuff.

 

The more I've thought about that disaster on Tuesday, the more I wonder if we didn't bother preparing for it. Perhaps the total focus of the staff has been spent on preparing the first 11 for Manu all week. From the thrown together collection of players, the lack of any clear tactics or strategy and the complete absence of any cohesion, the whole thing looks like we just sent 11 guys out there and said, "here's the formation, have a go." Even the players attitude was lackluster and devolved to utter garbage as the weather worsened and the match wore on. And then you have Rene and Wilkins caught laughing around on the sidelines late in extra time.

If so, maybe there's some hope that we'll see a 180 from Tuesday's proceedings. Maybe it'll be enough to matter. Or maybe I need to inspect my hat for tinfoil.

 

I know one thing....if we somehow pull off a miracle at Old Trafford, Moyes should be sacked in the tunnel.
