Sure, but you have to be realistic.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Yeah, and we're realistically in a title race. Only 3 pts off the top and 2 pts off you lot. Easiest run in of the three. Might be out of Europe before both you and Chelsea too so one less thing to worry about. It's very realistic mate.

I think we showed a lot of steel in coming from behind to beat Stoke where we traditionally suffer, especially after the haunting injury to Ramsey and the reminder it gave players like Fabregas of the Eduardo incident two years prior.

Anyway hopefully it's a great race regardless.

I agree with that, still think Chelsea will win the league.

If anything, I think it would've inspired them to win for their boy.

Best news for Utd is that Owen Hardgraves is having his first game back for the reserves for 16 months.
At the last WC he was one of the few England players that performed.

I dont think Owen H. will get back to his World Cup form. Ever to be honest. Not with his age/his problems with knees he is having.
Shame to see M. Owen out for rest of the season, wanted him to go to South Africa this summer, his last chance to play in big tournament probably.

What an average game it was this morning! Goes to show that Berba cant play up top without having a 2nd front man to work with... and Diouf missed 2 sitters lol
 
Great news that Hargo will be playing in the reserves this week, hopefully he wont be far away.

Yeah Diouf got me pretty annoyed this morning... i think after the Carling Cup, Park shouldve been given more game time - he had a good game last week and looked good again this morning.

Needed more Rooney.

looking forward to the second leg tomorrow morning. Think we should edge it surely. Touch wood. Interesting with Becks back for the first time.

4-0 and 7-2 in aggregate

Getting the early goal settled things down and until Beckham came on for Milan there weren't that many times when the defence was breached.

Wings played well, Park was good in behind Rooney and then Berbatov.

It was a pretty suburb performance, very happy I took the morning off for that one. Thought Fletcher was excellent, Park, Rooney, the defence was good, every Gary Neville looked back to his best. Great ball in for the first goal.
 
Very happy Becks got on, great reception, I had to get to work straight after the final whistle but apparently he put a green and gold scarf on as he walked off? Massive if he did.
 
Wonder how Cristiano is feeling in Madrid right now. They're not going to win anything.

yea pretty cool, was a complete performance and made even better by madrid getting eliminated. agree re neville looking good, but he also put in a few shocking crosses after that first assist. happy to see park and fletch rewarded for their graft.

Ronaldinio put through some great balls but Milan lacked the finish.
Beckham would have brought the stadium down if he had buried that volley.

Bit of United based trivia for you lads:

Can you name the former Manchester United keeper who only managed to play two minutes in the Premiership during his entire career at Old Trafford?

Three for me, and two for them.

Not Ricardo. And no he wasn't normally an outfield player. He played those two minutes in a United shirt and that was it the entire time he spent there.

And no i'm not a United fan!!!!
