If Martinez was really better coach than Moyes, Martinez wouldn’t be coaching Everton, would he? So shut it all!

To be honest, hanging out in ninth in
the log at December is by no means
what Sir Alex, Sir Bobby and the
Masters Glazers had in mind when they
endorsed David Moyes as gaffer for
United. Nah, they had dreams and
believe of a more eminent, loftier
station. But they knew the ride after
Fergie’s departure may be full of a lot of
down shifting and screaming gears.
That is why they tucked a bulky six-year
contract in David Moyes’ pocket and
patted him on the shoulder
reassuringly. ‘You’re in here for the
long haul, matey and we’re in with
ya.’ But an inconsistent run in the
league and back to back lose at Fortress
OT would have made the Glazers glance
fearfully at Sir Alex and Sir Bobby.
‘Gentlemen, er, you sure about this?’
Of course, Fergie and Sir Bobby are
absolutely sure about David Moyes.
They could have picked Mourinho, they
could have spoken to Pep Guardiola,
even Harry Redknapp. But they chose
David Moyes. ‘ Dithering Dave.’
‘Gollum .’ And I’d like to believe they
have best interest of United at heart
and would hardly sabotage the club.
If course with the less than impressive
results United is churning out under
David Moyes, fan is within his right to
give him the stick. What I will not
countenance however is labelling the
fella a muppet and glorying every coach
who manages to get a result against
him. So what, Roberto Martinez won
with Everton at Old Trafford for the first
time in twenty-one years and under
Moyes’ watch. There’s always a first
time for everything! So what, Newcastle
won at Old Trafford for the first time in
fourty years and also under David’s
watch. Big deal! It proves David Moyes
is into record breaking!
United is still in two domestic cups and
one continental cup. All is by no means
lost. I have personally ceded the league
trophy to any of City (what heart ache!),
Chelsea or Arsenal (elephants can
indeed fly! If Liverpool were to win the
league however, my grief would be
complete.) And if United were to make
some smart acquisitions in January, who
knows?
My belief will of course be tested if
United were to finish outside the top 4
this season, but I just do not see
Manchester United slipping into
obscurity like Liverpool. Something
would give. Tides will turn, mermaids
will cry. United is just too big to become
average within 2 years. Call it blind
faith. Call it stupidity. Football isn’t
exactly a logical enterprise, hombres.
Thank you, I’ll keep my faith.
My counsel to all those gloating at
United so far. Take all that United gives
right now. It’s Christmas and it’s the
season for giving and charity. Mark my
words, United won’t be this charitable
for ever!
