BAD IDEA OF THE WEEK: Being a Manchester United fan in 2014

It looked like Manchester United was in the midst of a familiar charge after it beat Norwich in their last game of 2013 for a sixth straight win. But the momentum was snapped by Tottenham Hotspur to begin 2014 and the Red Devils suffered their second consecutive defeat at Old Trafford when they were beaten by a modest Swansea 2-1 on Sunday afternoon (Greenwich Mean Time) in the third round of the FA Cup. A late red card brandished to Fabio proved costly. Swansea had never won at the Theatre of Dreams in 10 previous visits and only returned to the top flight of English football three years ago following a near 30-year absence. United manager David Moyes didn't exactly field the reserves, either, although Wayne Rooney wasn't in the squad as he continues to nurse a groin injury and Robin van Persie remained sidelined. "When you lose games at any club, it's difficult," Moyes told BT Sport. "We've got a big game on Tuesday and we'll get the team ready for that. We were a bit unlucky to lose. We had some opportunities, not enough, and we were down to 10 men." Luck has nothing to do with it. The real problem is that Moyes can't handle United. He is not the kind of manager you should trust. He is a learner, and you can't believe in a learner. Why did Sir Alex, after having known that crucial piece of advice for at least the last 27 years, turn his back on his fans by letting that bellend Moyes take the reins? Why couldn’t he have cloned himself so we could have one Sir Alex sitting around on his fortune and another out there keeping the Reds at the top of the table? All you Moyes fans need to swallow your pride and push for his termination. Real Madrid, Barça, Chelsea, Man City, Napoli, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich – they all changed managers over the summer break but suffered no crisis. Simply put, Moyes is the wrong one for the United job. We’re not glory hunters, but not being a glory hunter doesn't mean you don't want United to win trophies and still be the best and the largest. If you stick with Moyes for ten, twenty, even 100 years, he won't win anything. He lacks the tactics and the courage, and United’s players are easily getting injured because they are already bored with his managing style. The players want Moyes to be sacked and the bellends dumb enough to stick by him are resisting it. Please swallow your pride and say the truth – he is not capable.
