Do you know why we have only picked up 14 points away home whilst only conceding 9 goals away from home, whilst playing football 'touched by the gods' baring in mind 3 of those were in one game v Bournenouth so it's 13 points from 8 games conceding 6 goals playing 'football touched by the gods'

Stat back at ya.

Why have we only conceded 9?

Missed a hat full of chances away from home.

I'm confused. So we're not boss away from home?

No. But then I wouldnt be that knocked out if we won all three either.

Seriously. Other than the Utd/HK match, not one team has battered us. Not one.

Knowing us probably yes, then lose against some utter dross, but back to back victorys have been hard to come by....

Fair play. I feel outwitted, go and talk to dave. He'll agree with you. Don't go to McDonalds though.

Agree but remember we haven't beaten a side in the top half this season

What did Kone offer defensively against Stoke? Galloway left open for most of the game.

agreed , so does that mean we replace one disaster for another.

No it wasn't and no it isn't.

He was good value for every single boo he received on his return.....he burnt his bridges with us when he treated our club like dirt in his early months of Old Trafford.

I shall boo him again if he ever returns with a team.

And Moyes spent in the region of £60 million during his nine months at United.....I don't think Van Gaal would have spent much more than that, if he spent more at all, during his first nine months there.

What was the Moyes mis- treatment of Everton? I saw some daft early bids for felony and Baines but thought that was more about skin flint ed Woodward clipping Moyes wings...

About as much chance as you persuading me those weren't the droids I was looking for.

Cannot believe he is finding triumph in 9 goals conceded in 9 games with that run of fixtures. I am absolutely amazed at how desperate that is.

That's a pretty weird post.

Is the bottom line the answer to the question above?

"And Kone offers us something different" thanks Martinez,like championship football ?

I know.

But although we have lost games, other than one, we havnt been beaten.

Semantics perhaps, but that is how I see things. Bloody frustrating, weekends ruined, but I can see what he is trying to do. And if he can get that last 10% right, (ironically the easiest bit), good times.

And if he doesnt, he will be toast.
