Two losses in a row is bad enough but three? The game is up. On Tuesday, United blew it in yet another cup competition by losing the first leg of their semi-final clash with Sunderland in the Capital One Cup. It was only the first time United has lost three in a row since 2001 and not in 13 years have fans known things to be THIS bad. The loss to the Black Cats only piles the pressure on Moyes and has resulted in increasingly more frequent calls for his head. You do wonder how many more disasters he can afford before the axe comes down.
