Following the desperately disappointing and unjust result against Real Madrid, I was expecting United to come out fighting against Chelsea in the Cup last weekend. We went 2-0 up without needing to play well but then fell to pieces in the second half. Whenever we had the ball we gave it straight to their players, welcoming ridiculous amounts of pressure, meaning we were relieved we ended up with a replay. This hadn’t quite been the reaction I’d been hoping for after the Champions League exit.
When Reading sacked the manager I was disappointed. Not just because it was an unfair and shortsighted decision by the board, but because there’s always the potential it could galvanise their players. They’re in the relegation zone, they have the worst record in the league away from home (5 points from 42) and were on the road to nowhere. I really could have done without any banana skins. Would United be able to shake themselves out of it? Would the manager be able to find a fresh combination of players who could get the job done?
It’s safe to say that since City’s 2-0 defeat against the ten men of Everton I’m feeling more optimistic than I was! A few weeks ago City lost 3-1 to Southampton and Ferguson revealed this changed his thinking on what his team selection would be for our game against Everton. You would like to think that City have just delivered Ferguson’s team talk for him this afternoon. A win today puts us 15 points clear at the top of the table with nine games left to play. Incredible.
I would give Van Persie a week off, let Javier Hernandez (who has the best goals per minute rate in the league, averaging a goal every 93 minutes and 30 seconds) have another go and see what Wayne Rooney can do. Nani did his hamstring in the first half of the Chelsea game and is unavailable, meaning Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia are likely to start on the wings. Ferguson has revealed that Scholes is back in training and will be available before the end of the season, but the Reading game has come too soon for him. Anderson should return to the starting line-up, although after looking exhausted against Chelsea, Cleverley is unlikely to get another game today.
This is a huge game against Reading and you would think it should be one we win convincingly. Let’s put this title to bed and take all the pressure off the tougher games against City, Arsenal and Chelsea in the league.
COME ON UNITED!

Fuck, yeah ! Win this one and it’s a 15-point gap.
What’s the matter Joe? Did Everton break your
“HART”???
Massive result at everton today. Hope united do their business today with minimal fuss. 3 or 4 nil to get last couple of games out of our system.
Hopefully Vida starts and Hernandez
Come On United!!!
fuck is mancini mad about?? fuck u everton had a goal dissalowed u twat so whats he got to be aggrieved about?? not showing up to post conference what a fucking twat.
R these fucking cunts seroius?? their gonna make this about a handball and rob us of a legitimate title win?? fucking dail mail cunts fuck u lot.
Rest RVP? Nah… He didn’t play that long against Chelsea, and needs a goal or two against a weaker team to get back into his groove ahead of big games (Chelsea replay, City in the league).
Lets get the job done today but a 15 points lead going into the derby would mean we can win the league at home against city with a win
Seriously we MUST NOT rest RVP. He needs goals badly and we need him in top form heading into the home stretch. Hopefully Welbeck , rooney and Young start as well. And i’d like to see Anderson get some time in the middle with Carrick today as well.
Also need him to make up ground on that goofy racist cunt in the Golden Boot race.
Fergie mentioned the fullbacks both needed a rest, so could see that happen today?
DDG
Smalling
Evans
Vidic
Buttner
Welbeck
Ando
Carrick
Young
Roo
RVP
All we need for the rest of the campaign is to concentrate on winning every single game.
BTW City has more points to lose when they meet Tottenham, Arsenal and us;)
We, on the other side might lost a couple of points but nothing is guaranteed, we are still in the league and we must do our best to avoid the horror of last season.
I would also love to see Robin van Persie to outscore Suarez, the latter being 3 goals ahead of the former.He was fantastic for us and deserves to be the player of the year.

Funny how SAF gets slagged for being too distraught to attend the postmatch conference after the Real match but mancini isnt facing anything for doing this.
In other news, 3-1 to Southampton vs Liverpool. Lolz.
Come on United, lets thrash them and then win the league when we host Shtty at OT!!!!
Kanchelskis got the line-up BANG ON except for the fact that Giggs starts in place of Carrick in the middle. Hopefully we finish this game off early. Not in the mood for nerves today.
@dannysoya
I got Evans wrong too. It’s Rio in there with Vidic.
It’s gonna be an open game, with no Carrick to slow the tempo and ensure control. Given that, and Reading’s record late on in games, I feel we’ll need a lead of 2 or more going into the last 15 minutes…
