Do it man, it's win win really. If we lose we get some money to comfort us and if we win then we are only a fiver or tenner down.
Manchester United Vs Swansea City

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Do you think that instead of using the "Smalling for aerial ability" trump card, he uses the "follow Smalling in case of an evacuation" trump card? I really fail to see why else you would play Smalling for a fullback in this match.
What else I don't like about this is that he is using three centre backs in one match before a string of matches. It's unwise.
Buttner 
Feck me, please send Fabio and Zaha to Ole in Cardiff.
Not the best team, but Swansea's are awful. We will win.

Thought this was going to be on ITV!

Smalling & Valencia again?
feck off Moyes.
feck off Moyes.
Are Swansea playing their first team?
We look defensively poor but I don't have many complaints with the attack, bar Valencia.
I agree and their form is sheeeeet
So long as we keep tabs on Shelvey I think we'll win this
Bit weird that you'd continue to use Smalling out wide and ignore Fabio. He and Zaha will probably get 30 minutes though.
We should give Buttner a run out on the left wing.
At least it keeps him further away from our goal and let's face it, our wingers aren't exactly ripping it up at the minute.

Bits and bobs of it, no more than we're playing our (current) first team I'd say.
Zaha and Fabio instead of Valencia and Buttner would have been good but it seems that wanting to see them starting is a lost cause.
Otherwise it is a fine team. Expect a win today.
It will be interesting to see if we'll go with a 4-4-2 or with a 4-5-1 (Welbeck on the left, Kagawa on the center).

I really believe that we need a warning on this forum,

You said back in october that you will have patient with Moyes. Already gone?
He's not got that many more options. Most of the alternatives are holidaying in the Owen Hargreaves Memorial Treatment Spa.
You come in here, say shit like that just to stir things up, don't you? It's not a bit weird, it's frickin unbelieavable that Moyes continue to use Smalling behind Valencia. Behind Nani it could work, but not behind Valencia. Well well, we'll see...
Well, it's Fabio available but surely something nasty has gone behind the scenes between him and Moyes.
I'm trying. He's not making things easy though.
That's been obvious to be for a long while now. I don't understand the constant moaning when he doesn't start, as if it's some big surprise.
You're taking that far to literally. I don't actually mean 'Moyes out'.
No. I can see why he would considering Buttner is balls at defending and Ferdinand is back after ages back so it helps having a good CB, but he's a poor RB in an attacking sense. But then it would just make more sense to drop Ferdinand and play Fabio - Smalling - Evans - Buttner.
The way our season is going going out of one of these comps early would be a blessing in disguise.
If something 'nasty' had gone on between Fabio and Moyes then he wouldn't be making the bench.
No I didn't take it as that. I took it telling the manager to feck off which isn't much of a sign of support.
That back 5 is just awful 
I'm not kidding when I say it's probably the worst possible back 5 combination we can put out (well rio next to whoever).
Hope they do well though, obviously. I would say that we're at home and should do well, but us being at home is more of a worry these days. Expect another flying and exciting performance from our right flank, Valencia and smalling
Not sure how welbeck will do with Hernandez however, they didn't prove to be a very good partnership in the past under sir Alex so it'll be interesting to see.
We should have enough to win it though.

The moaning is more because the alternatives (Smalling and Buttner) are awful there.
I think this is more because of the lack of options. With our injuries he had to put someone on the bench.
Rafael is still injured right? Maybe Moyes doesn't even know Fabio exists and just thinks he is Rafael, therefore still injured.
Considering the not insignificant outlay in signing Zaha and form prior to the 13/14 season, i wouldn't mind the press doing something useful and asking Moyes about the situation. If SAF had remained we surely would have seen more of Wilf in the intervening months.
That team is just horrible. Zaha's tryst with Moyes's daughter, must've been a spit roast involving Fabio.
Nice of Moyes to do Swansea's team-talk for them, if Spurs hadn't already covered it.
I think they have done, and Moyes said Zaha will get his chance.
I would rather rest Smalling and Valencia, but to be honest in an FA Cup home match there is nothing wrong in playing them. I'm more worried about Lindegaard and Buttner.
I'd love to back him to the hilt. I'd love him to come good and be an unqualified success. But his team selections, his tactics, the things he says in the press, are making it very hard. You can't just support someone blindly for the sake of it. There has to be some sign of progress, some sign that he's worth supporting. Right now, as each month progresses, those signs become less and less I'm afraid. I wish it wasn't like that, but it is. He's been a disaster so far.
