Yoo nigh ted were a shambles defensively, unable to hold up anything from the midfield and were delightfully destroyed.

 

De Gea is looking like a shit keeper who's lost any confidence he came with, and that looked like a negligible amount from the start.

 

De Gea won Man Utd a point on his own at Anfield last weekend. I actually thought he was growing into the role at man Utd. I've not really seen enough of yesterday's game to decide how badly he played.

 

Although going by what a lot of you are saying Ferdinand was shite. I've been telling folk that he's been shite for ages. He's as overrated as carragher!

Interesting to see if the totday's Retard goes with the sensationalistic sort of headlines on the Arabs & St Midden games as they did post our exit.

Both of them out to lower league opposition, one of them below us in the league, and the other one seems to have lost its way after being reported as the greatest footballing team since the mid 70's Dutch international team.

We both know the answer to that one.

 

At this rate, Houston won't have to miss the Cyprus game. :wave:

Took a day longer, but article from today's Sun

 

 

PETER HOUSTON is facing the sack at Dundee United after a nightmare run of results.

SunSport understands chairman Stephen Thompson has cut short a trip to America to return to Scotland.

 

And he will hold emergency talks with under-fire Houston in the wake of Tuesday's League Cup KO by Falkirk.

 

Thompson is deeply unhappy at the Tannadice side's slump in form and Houston could be forced out if his side don't stop the slide, starting at Dunfermline on Saturday.

 

Former United hero Michael O'Neill has already been tipped as a potential successor should Houston be axed.

 

United currently sit third bottom in the SPL, just two points off the relegation spot.

 

They have only two league wins all season — the last on September 17 — and have suffered five defeats with three of them at home.

 

The £2.8million sale of striker David Goodwillie to Blackburn Rovers in August was a huge blow for Houston, as were the summer exits of Morgaro Gomis, Craig Conway and Prince Buaben on freedom of contract.

 

But despite a tight budget he was allowed to bring in experienced midfielders John Rankin and Willo Flood.

 

And Thompson was expecting far better than he has seen this term.

 

Houston led United to Scottish Cup glory as caretaker boss 18 months ago and was handed a three-year deal.

 

They finished third in the SPL last season to claim a Europa League spot. But that adventure was ended by Polish side Slask Wroclaw in July.

 

The cup quarter-final defeat to Falkirk was a financial blow to United, with Thompson making it clear no more of his family's fortune will be going into the coffers.

 

It's believed the United owner has never been fully satisfied with his manager's time away on Scotland duty as Craig Levein's No2, especially while club results have also been poor.

 

Houston admits he can understand why fans are unhappy to be losing to a First Division side packed with teenagers.

 

But he said: "When you lose to a lower league club people ask questions, but our players gave me everything.

 

"If you go into a game and your players have downed tools then you have a major problem.That's not the case, "I can understand the fans' frustration because Dundee United should be winning against a young Falkirk side at home.

 

"I won't make excuses, but I stand by the players because there's not one player who didn't give 100 per cent and are not as gutted as the fans.

 

"You saw that at the end — the boys were absolutely devastated."

Jesus, anyone just see Paul merson on SSN? What a fud. Talking about how that wasn't Chelsea and avb needed to give more respect to the premier league because its not a Mickey mouse league like the Portuguese one. Fucking hell, even Iain dowie thought he was being daft.

 

Edit : sorry Andrew, was a predicta text error.
