The So, I'm fine, thank you, although evening is an arbitrary thing being as it's not evening when we record this and it may or may not be

evening when people are listening.

This is very true.

How are you?

Well, okay given the complete humiliating capitulation to Liverpool.

It was a little on the poor side, I think it's fair to say.

Yeah, it was, I would hasten to add it was probably United's worst performance of the season.

Although having said that we have put in probably half a dozen maybe even more

similar performances away from home that were timid in an attacking sense, no impetus from midfield. from

Timmied in an attacking sense, no impetus from midfield

and it's just, I guess, the one change is that United were incredibly poor defensively as well.

Yeah, and of course it was against Liverpool, so everything is intensified in that game, isn't it?

It was an ugly occasion in more ways than one.

Yeah, it was obviously, yes, some pretty X-rated tackles going in not least from

Jamie Carrigger and then followed up by Raphael and different outcomes of course and

the game was pretty messy all in all and there's the potential for it kicking off. I mean I have to say

Liverpool's intensity was not the intensity that they demonstrated against

Chelsea last season at a similar stage of the season

but you know there you go if the players can only play for certain matches that's why

they are not challenging for a top four spot at the moment do you think there will be

next season?

No, I think it depends on investment.
