Manchester United (Part 1)

original

Well don't come in here and say you hate a player without any justification.

Utd a bit lucky this morning. Spurs should have won that in the last 5 min. I was happy with a point.
I think a lot of people on this forum underate Spurs.

I wonder why?

That ball that dropped to van der Vaaart

Interesting article.

I think it bodes well. Definitely need to start look at refreshing the squad with some young talent.

Also see that Spurs think they can get Rossi for less than 20mil from Villareal, we should try and get him back. Would be a great fit to the team.

Jist for Paulm. We won 5-0

Also for the benefit of Paul, it was Berbatov's third hattrick this season.

I see Marty Devlin "outted" himself and got diversion when his wife locked him out of the car after the Birmingham United match. Personally I think he should have been commended for not throwing himself under it after that **** Boyer's last min equaliser!

 
yea i heard they missed some ferry cos he was watching the game, she was none too pleased

A bit stressful, but great comeback!

sounds like a very good comeback there gutted i was loving the look of 2 nil for a while

What a fantastic morning!!!!

Hope Rafael is well.

Blimey. The ribbing from workmates had already started, at 2-0.

what happened to him?

He just fell awkwardly from the look of it, jumping to head clear a cross. I thought he was ok and play went on, we broke down the right hand side but all of a sudden the ref blew the whistle. Paulinho2011-01-26 10:45:13

does that mean the neviller will have to play RB now permanently? Feck i wouldnt want that if i were youse, he looks hopelessly old these days, not exactly giggs...

I guess it's a much of a muchness, though Fabio could have done a job this morning.

lol fair call you guys lookin pretty good still a ways to go though

1st half Utd were lucky not to be more than 2 down.
The minute Giggs came on at half time the game changed.
The 1st half Utd. were as bad as I have ever seen them, but Blackpool played very well and deserved their lead.
At 2 down I would have settled for a draw, so 3 points was a bonus.

very defining sort of win that

Van der Sar retiring at the end of the season :(

Was always one of my favourite players. As a goalkeeper i stromgly admired his professionalism and consistency. Will be sad to see him go.

Huge shame but he is very old. Has served us well, as you say pure professional.

wow he's been round the traps for a long time

Lol

Got up to watch the FA cup game. Fell asleep at half-time. Down 1-0.S'hampton playing well.Saw the final result, will have to watch the replay to see how they got out of jail.

Wayne's back...

Brilliant goal from Vidic too.

i see neville has retired with immediate effect

Sad but it was definitely coming. Too many injuries in the last few years.

I've never particularly liked Neville but he has been a good player for Utd.

He is the kind of player that every club would love to have.

And hate.

Very rare these days for somebody to have that much passion for his club and stay there for his whole career. I admire him for that at least.

Not often you get a player who's more than happy to publicly shred the rivals. Michael2011-02-03 23:57:09

Tbh, today could've been worse.

Reading around there's alot going on about how bad we've been this season and we're lucky to still be number 1.

Edit:

Now while without a doubt their has been bad performances - their has also been some fantastic ones that merely hint at United's full potential.

What could be a better way to lead into a City game than "f**king pissed off" Everyone will be up for it and no one will be thinking about records, only 3 points!Michael2011-02-06 09:46:40
