David Moyes 'Chosen One' banner leaves a bitter taste

By -


It may be a superstitious decision, but following David Moyes' disastrous season in charge of Manchester United, it has been confirmed that the next manager will not be afforded a banner at Old Trafford's Stretford End. United legend Sir Alex Ferguson was originally honoured with a 72-metre banner proclaiming 'The Impossible Dream Made Possible' to celebrate 25 years at the club, which included wining 37 trophies. Stretford End Flags followed this with a 'Chosen One' banner for Moyes after the Scot arrived at the behest of his predecessor - but, should Louis van Gaal become United's next manager as expected he will not see his name in the stands, according to the Manchester Evening News.

That is the club where you want to be. Man United have dominated English football for so long and though City might not have the history, they have the future.

Going for the Grand Slam

There was much more than one title at stake in Lisbon. Winning the Champions League opens the door to two more pieces of silverware. Only the kings of Europe can play in the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup. In the case of Sergio Ramos, Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso, these are the two final frontiers in their bid to win every single big trophy for club and country. The 'Décima' gives Ramos, Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso the chance to go for the Grand Slam and enter a select group of players who have won the World Cup, European Championship, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup, 'La Liga', 'Copa del Rey' and the Spanish Super Cup - eight great titles and a feat within the reach of very few footballers over the course of history. The members of the Spain team who won the World Cup and the Euros were given the opportunity to conquer the Grand Slam. With the most difficult part completed - winning such a prestigious double - the challenge then lies in ticking off the boxes at cl...
