Moyes is really shooting himself in the foot, if he hasn't already, by basically playing the 'underdog' card to Liverpool and Manchester City. First he said Liverpool are the favorites in their recent game against United and now City are what they must aspire to be and reach their level. It might be true but it is unthinkable for a manager managing a big club like United readily bowing down and praising arguably their 2 fierciest rivals in the public. Typical case of a manager with a small club mentality. Almost like Hodgson at Liverpool.

Ouch! Said this the other day, players that go to Arsenal to play under Wenger would not develop into a genuine world class player. They may well improve their technical abilities and maybe even their physical abilities to play the tippy-tappy football but not the mental aspects as well that will take them to the next level. They are like glass and fragile. Knock them off a little bit and they'll crack. It's no surprise that in recent years when Arsenal have been challenging for the title, they always crack and fall away come February or March onwards. However when they are only fighting to finish 4th, they don't and always go on a strong run to finish the season well.

Arsenal is sliding, as I predicted back in January. Personally, I would not be surprised to see them missing on 4th place. I believe, Citeh will hammer them 3 or 4 goals, soon.

As for Manures, this is the biggest joke of this season. This team has already dropped more points in comparison to last season in the history of the PL, I believe. When I look at poor Mata, his struggles on the pitch, Jose must be laughing by now.

Well that might be true in recent years but Vieira, Henry, Bergkamp.... those were world class players and also real leaders.

I think Wenger is an excellent coach and he's created some fantastic teams but there comes a point where a manager isn't able to motivate his players anymore and Wenger reached that point some years back. If Liverpool actually finish above Arsenal, then he should probably do the right thing and step down.
