It feels like months since United’s last outing. I’m not sure whether that’s because of the boredom the International break breaks or the need we’ve felt to bury our last game to the back of our memories. Losing against your title rivals is always going to be painful but to lose how we did, at the hands of poor officiating, is even harder to take.
It’s obviously not just the fans that are hurting though, with Wayne Rooney making his feelings very clear to the Sky Sports camera as he left the field. But they need to bounce back now and for Rooney, there probably couldn’t be a better team for us to face next!
When not playing against Everton, I seem to kid myself in to feeling some sort of affection for them. I think David Moyes comes across well and he’s done a great job with such little money, Phil Neville is their captain, they have former reds I was fairly fond of, Tim Howard and Louis Saha, in their squad, and essentially, we share a common enemy.
But on match day, it’s different. Whilst not Liverpool scouse, you remember they are scousers when they start singing about Manchester being full of shit. You hear the dog’s abuse they give Rooney, chanting about him dying and it suddenly becomes easier to dislike them.
United need all three points today without question, to make sure we keep within touching distance of Chelsea and Arsenal. Our time to over take them will come around February, hopefully, but for now we just need to make sure we’re keeping up. It’s November and therefore pretty daft to think of a game as a ‘must win’ but that is the mentality our players and fans will have as five o’clock nears.
Rooney will of course be centre of attention, as always, when we play Everton. You can already play out the goal and badge kissing that will follow in your head, but the most important thing is for him to keep his cool. He was not a happy chappy at Stamford Bridge and if things start to go against us this evening you can imagine him boiling over. A Rooney suspension is the last thing we need, so here’s to him adding to his goals tally, which currently sees him fourth highest scorer in the league. He’s scored twice in the eight games he’s played against Everton since joining us so will obviously be eager to improve that record.
After becoming Bulgaria’s top scorer with two goals against Malta, Dimitar Berbatov will likely partner Rooney up front and will be looking to better him position within the top 15 scorers in the league this season. Given Everton’s bottom half of the table status, you would be wrong to assume their defence has been at fault. Everton boast a defensive record as strong as fourth placed Spurs so it will be Berbatov’s job to get the ball behind their back line.
Darren Fletcher was given the run around when representing Scotland during the week, with that Welsh lad who turned us down showing him up. But he’s now two games in to his recovery from that fairly lengthy injury so we’ll be relying on him to protect our back four, which could be fairly shakey. John O’Shea and Jonny Evans were both hurt whilst on International duty, with Rio Ferdinand being tipped to miss the rest of 2009 by some areas of the press. That could leave just Patrice Evra, Wes Brown and Nemanja Vidic, hopefully returning, meaning maybe Rafael could come in at right back, with Neville still suspended. We’re very thin defensively though so will need Fletch to help out.
Michael Carrick was one of the several players to travel with England for that friendly against Brazil, although picked up an injury whilst there so unlikely to feature for us this afternoon. Owen Hargreaves may be inching closer but the manager believes it’s his lacking confidence slowing him down. So that suggests a well rested Paul Scholes should return to the first team which means I’d rather see Ryan Giggs left out. Bring Giggsy on if we need him but we should trust our younger wingers today. Nani and Valencia to start for me but of course I’d like to see Obertan get a run out. Much to the dismay of others, I’m sticking with my Nani campaign, although it may be in vain given his recent falling out with the manager and whinge in the press.
Louis Saha should get a good welcome from the crowd. Whilst plenty of fans became frustrated with him because of the injuries, there is no denying he is a quality player who worked hard for our club during a trying period. Louis described his move to Everton as “a step down” which reflects his feelings towards our club. He bided his time on our bench, waiting for his chance, and when it came he took it. He never threw the temper tantrum Ruud did and had it not been for his unreliability in terms of fitness, I’m sure Saha would still be here now. The fact he’s scored as many league goals as Rooney and Van Persie this season is testament to that!
Points are the most important thing, certainly, but I really, really would like to see a performance today. We put on a great display at Stamford Bridge and it would be brilliant if we could build on that today. Everton are not having a good season and we need to take advantage of that, score early, and see what we can do to our goal difference. But United are far too unpredictable these days for us to forecast any possible result!
Wayne Rooney – Once a blue always a red t-shirts
Man Utd News 24/7
Wayne Rooney to score and celebrate with Phil Neville.
Dippers vs Bitter 1:1 with about 15 min to go. This suits us fine.
If lad perform like they did against rent boys, we should have no problems.
Would be nice to score a few to improve our GD.
Bitters have just scored. Shit!
This is crazy, dippers just scored again.
Dippers are so poor even with StevieMe playing. I just can’t believe how we lost against them.
Good article. I predict a 2-0, if not better, although I am not expecting a great performance as most of the players have just come back from the internationals. We simply cannot afford to lost points from now on.
Possible team:
VDS
Rafael Brown Vidic Evra
Nani Fletcher Ando Valencia
Berba Rooney
Slightly strong team but it’s better if we win and score early. It’s taking us a long time to score in the majority of matches this season. If Nani totally fucks up today, then my faith in him will be gone. If he’s given a start then this might be his last ever chance to prove him self in a utd shirt.
The important stat from the Liverpool game is two players out injured in fifteen minutes. Win or lose they are sinking without trace this season. I wonder if this is indicative of a long term trajectory, dare we hope they go the way of Leeds or Newcastle?
the dippers vs shitty don’t no what to do a win for either side is just unbearable…but a least the fsw in his crew are out the title race if it finishes at this score of 2-2
BELIEVE
Good write up Scott…
How the fuck did we lose to the dippers? My goodness if ever there was a one man team its them… What the hell did Gerrard do today? Absolutely nothing. He was invisible.
And I’m nervous about our match… Its going to be tough. A goal in the first 25 mins would be massive for us.
what a good way to start the day, dippers and bitters draw 2-2! bring on the blue half of merseyside!! hoping for some good stuff from the boys, i predict a 3-0, 2 for rooney and 1 from berba
I think it will be a difficult match today. We never win easy nowadays. We struggled against them last season, particulary at Goodison. If Fellaini and Saha turn up we could be in for a long day.
Could anybody please post some good links to watch the match today?
Everton fans were singing “utd, top of the league” last season at Anfield, so you cant criticise them for singing shite; they do it all the time!
@dakota
http://atdhe.net/10509/watch-sunderland-vs-arsenal
I hope Sunderland win, and then Arsenal beat Rent boys(who are already 3:0 up against toothless Wolves) next week.
I can’t wait for the match to start. I’ve missed United football.
So have I.
thank god manchester united are back. international breaks are a special kind of torture, especially this one. 3 points, lads! come on!!!!!!
Thanks a ton, Xyth!
i will commit surcide if we aint 2nd by half 7 or 8 or whatever……knowing my luck we wont take advantage
Van der Sar
Rafael Vidic Brown Evra
Valencia Fletcher Carrick Giggs
Rooney Owen
Jack is that the starting line-up?
If it is, I thought Carrick was injured. Also, it’s strange to see Owen starting with Rooney, but I hope they both score today.
Good team today.
Let’s get an early goal or two. There heads will drop and we will pounce.
Owen is playing so were going to get at least 1.
Come on UNITED.
The arses are being led 1-0. Nice seeing so many former United lads doing well at Sunderland, which really looks like a Manchester United B. How about Steve Bruce as future United manager? I rate him.
sunderland! well done brucie!!!!
Subs:Kuszczak, De Laet, Anderson, Scholes, Welbeck, Obertan, Gibson.
Well done Sunderland!!!!!!!!!
Gooners lost to Sunderland. Now’s the time to put a bit of distance between us.
Thanks Jack.Berba is injured too apparently.This team should be good enough though.I hope we don’t get anymore injuries at the back.
@jack
thank’s for the team sheet. owen won’t play more than 60-70min. hopefully welbeck can get in for the last 30.
There you go the so called over-hyped arsenal sexy football. They look average against Sunderland. Credit to Bruce for making Sunderland a better team. And I am impressed with Bent, he scored against all the big four if I’m not mistaken. Hope Arsenal will play better against the Rentboys next week. We will be at the top of the league by the end of January like we always do.
Give Saha the all-round cheer he deserves.
costas & rooninho
its alright, 10 pound please
and yeah berbatovs injured and couldnt make it, hope welbeck gets a chance near the end aswell….saha starts for everton
@Jack: Lol. That’s a good idea. I should have thought about it last year whenever i was the first to announce the teamsheet!
By the way, notice that Nani isn’t even on the bench…
Man! I can’t express in words how much I hate Internationals!.. Now Berba is injured too? This is ridiculous!
@Costas
You cannot wash dirty linen in public and expect to continue as nothing happened.
@Xyth:
You are probably right. I hope he and the manager clear the air at some point though.
@Costas
Yes, I hope as well. If he does not feature in the next few matches, he will be probably get shipped out of ManU which would be such a shame after the great promise.Even if he gets another chance he will need to raise his game 200% to stand any chance of a long stay as a red.
Michael Owen was a Everton as a kid, right? Having a discussion with a friend here. He reckons he wasn’t, but I think he was.
Fan that is.
Giggs debut against everton 9 days later everton player Rodwell was born…. Amazing
@nectarine
owen played for another club? i seem to have forgotten his past history for some reason!
come on united!!!!!!
rooninho
Season at real
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Yj0k8L9nEk
@ghtt
lol! hope he gets more goals than benzema this year, that would pretty embarrassing for the fascists.
rooninho
hope he gets more goals than WHO? this year
@ghtt
lol!
get stuck in lads!
25 mins in and looking easy……
think we gonna win 2- zip
later on I predict Obertan on for Giggs and he will score
Watching United play makes me feel proud. If we keep playing like this the Premiership trophy will be ours long before May.
wes brown!!!!
rafael sure has had his weetabix today…
playin with great tempo so far – some great passing and movement
great rugy tackle from rafael …
Every match Valencia gets better
actually i think rafael has had something else! calm down son
!!!!!!!!!!!
Yet another from the football genius… pure class
fukin havit!!!
Wow, Fletcher. Who else thinks that Evra is better than all our wingers excluding Ryan Giggs who really isnt a winger anymore?!
Fletcherinho! Get in!
thats goal of the month right their – fukin beauty …
Oh… FLETCHER….. Wat A Strikeeeeeeeee!.. Brilliant
Fletcher is turning into one of my favourite players. Who would have thought in 2004 that he’d become so good? Well, obviously Alex did, but I was one of the doubters. Fletcher shows you how patience and faith can be rewarded. Great player.
..he comes from serbia..he’ll fukin murda ya..
more goals please united!!! fellaini is a twat.
valencia just about knocked him out with that shot
If only we had played like this against Barcelona in May…
dazzza
fucking hell, went down stairs for me tea and Fletch scores a cracker….bastarding always miss the fricking goals……
We are playing well but against such a poor team we should be scoring more.
Final ball or option choosing again very disappointing. Hopefully well get a second goal quickly to kill the match.
How is than game not 3-0 already?Story of our season i guess.
Ayway, Evra is a beast and Fletch’s goal is the best of the season so far. Pure genius!
rooney’s not playing that well today. berbatov got injured?? i was wondering why he didn’t start, god i hate international breaks :@:@ i hope we score a few more in the 2nd half, chelsea is really pissing me off with all their 4-0/5-0 wins :@ oh, and arsenal lost!!! they finally go above us on the table, and promptly lose…..same old arsenal…but can someone please tell me what happened to berba?
@costas
spot on, mate.
hate to think where united would be without evra. fletcher may have had more important goals before, but purely skill/technique wise, can’t think of a better goal in his united career.
Wayne has one brilliant touch, then he gives the ball away with his next three…. Its very frustrating.
I thought Rafael looked good. As did Project Pat who is teaching young Gosling a lesson out there. Lets get one more early to chill the nerves a bit…
with the pace he has and the pace were playin at wud luv to see obertan comin on
The time comes and Fletch steps up. He dominates that midfield, tackling, passing, moving, keeping possession and now scoring goals. Its amazing how good he is. Robson, Ince, Keane…FLETCH. Ladies and gentlemen the successor has been found!
Wow… That stike from fletch was amazing. Now who knows he looks like he might actually score 15 this season…. GET IN THERE!!!
GET STUCK IN LADS
Evra said Henry did the right thing. Ha, what do you think about him now?
Another oppourtinity for Owen..
Pat
Never ever blamed Henry
If keane had of done it Id have felt bad for france but have taught he’d have done the same thing
Its the refs fault
time for obertan and ando
Obertan please!
like to see welbeck get in for mickey o…
van der sar, thank you.
Bloody hell that was close
the more i see that goal by the football Genius The better it gets
Busby bless sky plus

wasnt too overly impressed with rodwell – if hes supposed to be worth millions then how much does that make flethcer worth ??
emily is such a doll!!!!! 3-0!!! yaaaaay!!! i should’ve bet on this game :@ let’s hope the rent boys drop some points against arsenal…AAAAAAH!!! 3-0!!! and valencia FINALLY smiled today
Why thank you rooninho! Didnt think I did too badly today
On a more serious note, rightfully pleased by the performance today, hoping that we can pull this sort of performance off throughout the season!!!
Boring game, not impressed. But 3-0 is a very good result.
Also, someone said Arsenal looked average against SUnderland. They looked better against them away than United did against them at OT. United managed a draw due to a fluke goal. Sunderland didn’t threaten us at all.
Arsenal-Only team to play away after the international break. Thats 3 times this season already.
Not to mention we were denied a blatant penalty, which seems to be the theme of the season.
Fletcher at OT was as blatant as they get. Campbell today was exactly the same.
@ Pat
To answer your question, still think he’s a cheating cunt. Who cares what Evra thinks? He’s hardly impartial, is he?
Your mum says hello, by the way.
hahaha my bf’s singing “whose that twat from argentina”…
Who do you want to win next weekend and who do you think will win?(Arsenal-Chelsea)
Just curious to see what you lads think about Arsenal’s chances
brilliant performance. United need to go on a winning run to take back 1st place.
Get stuck in lads
@ pat, why are you back? shouldn’t you be off sulking somewhere now that we’re above you on the table again?
Top top performance. Great response following the defeat at the bridge. Defence, fantastic, especially Evra (as always). VDS made crucial saves. Midfield was fantastic. All goals came from there (many fans last season said midfielders aren’t chipping in but here ya go). Valencia is just getting better and better, Fletcher was simply…fantastic. His goal was beautifully taken with real skill. Rooney had a off game, gave the ball away a few times, and so did Giggsy. Owen was just so unlucky to miss all those chances, he could have scored 3 himself.
The clean sheet and arsenal losing is the cherry on top.
We’ll never die.
@ Pat,
I think you’ll find that Everton, Wolves, Man City and West Ham also played away today!
Post match Interview= I want to buy Evra a beer
Redbeard, grow the fuck up mate. I know you’re desperate for some, but your time will come…maybe when you’re 70.
Now you’re making excuses for Evra. And Irish twats aren’t impartial?
*GET STUCK IN LADS
Great match. Evra’s been brilliant all night. Rooney doesn’t look too pleased when he got subbed.
Redbeard, use common sense. I obviously meant from the top 4.
Jellybean, game in hand against Bolton is 95% 3 pts. so don’t get your hopes up!
In all seriousness, if we’re only 5 pts. off come Febuary, I think Arsenal have a chance. They’re done playing the top 6 or 7 in February. Tough scheduling, but uf we can manage, the end of the season will be one of the easiest in recent histroy
PAT
Im Irish and I dont blame Henry
How am I a twat
here check this out
http://arsenal-mania.com/forum/
Rodwell’s strike was saved brilliantly by VDS. Wasn’t paying too much attention to him, I was too busy admiring the way the men in red and white were playing today.
Hello everyone.good solid performance.we need goals like we scored today .great strikes rather than looking to pass the ball in the net.fletcher,vidic and vds were brilliant. DARREN FLETCHER IS TRUELY A FOOTBALL GENIUS
How am I making excuses for Evra? I said his comments don’t change my opinion! You see, I am not some hormonally charged teenager acting out a latent homo-erotic crush that makes me change my view of the world when a football player opens his mouth!
A.I.G.
Hello mate
Think you forgot to say Evra
@ Redbeard
Why is this junior gooner still on ROM?
I think the poor lad is starved of attention at home, is the only love he receives self love?
GHTT, you’re not. I’m just mad, like Keane, that the Irish make a big deal out of this. They should have won it long before, they were magnificent.
But, everyone seems to be forgetting about Given’s foul on Evra in the 1st leg. That’d give France a 2-0 away goal advantage.
Are you politely telling me to get lost by posting that link? =D
I only post on Le-Grove. All the other arsenal sites are full of delusional, biased fuckers.
So I wonder why I visit this site too! Nah, I know GHTT and a few others know what they’re talking about.
@ Pat
“In all seriousness, if we’re only 5 pts. off come Febuary, I think Arsenal have a chance. They’re done playing the top 6 or 7 in February. Tough scheduling, but uf we can manage, the end of the season will be one of the easiest in recent histroy” – Do you honestly think anyone here gives a fuck what you think about Arsenal’s chances this year? Seriously?
@ jandsdad
We’ve already established he doesn’t get any love from his mum!
I’m loving it that the 3 goals came from the midfield as well.
Redbeard, you obviously don’t know how to have a discussion then.
Poor lad, people must absolutely hate having you in their company.
Pat
I taught that was a respected Arsenal Forum
@ Pat
Surprised you’re on a utd forum, thought you’d be mourning over your loss on some goon blog. On you’re question, you’re team has a big chance of beating the rentboys who score for fun against teams like wolves. Their so called ‘diamond midfield’ is actually more plastic than it is ‘diamond’, our midfielders outclassed them at stamford bridge. Their players looked tired later in the second half and you should take advantage of that.
@ Redbeard
I thought you had dumped her thus freeing up more time for him
@ Pat
I know how to have a discussion, I have them all the time! I just don’t want to have one with you about Arsenal’s prospects for the season.
Several people have asked you the same question and you still haven’t given an answer. WHY DO YOU COME TO THIS SITE? Go to an Arsenal blog, I’m sure there are plenty of people there who have the same interests as you.
@ GHTT- anywhere i can watch the post match interviews online? they don’t show ‘em in america after the games :@ i guess i should just be glad they don’t have american commentators either, they’re awful! they keep messing up the names and then make the stupidest comments…
Dominated the match, Giggs and rooney had a bit poor in this match giving the ball away on many occasions but overall all did well. Everton had no powerhouse or engine to attack. =)
@ jandsdad
I did mate, but she still wants nothing to do with him! She’s had to put up with his crap for 18 years – she’s had enough of it!
Ghtt.ya mate.forgot evra but dont think he needs a mention.he has been excellent in all the games.best and fittest player of our season so far.
jellybean
I remember during a pre season friendly in America on mutv the commentary went down and the started to use the local Commentary and it was the funniest thing Ive ever heard the never once called Giggs by his name the kept calling him the welsh wizard , like he was a wrestler, and thats were i learned the phrase spinning on a 6 pence and a P.K.
ghtt’s birthday on Tuesday people
greatest present ever
A LIVERPOOL LOSS
@ GHTT
I think they’re also responsible for this horrible “assist” word. When I was a kid it was called a “set-up”!
@ Redbeard
I don’t know how you can be bothered conversing with the wee goon.
I’m away for now
Early happy birthday Ghtt.
what did people think of Owens performance?
Pat — I think you lot can easily beat the rent boys, and I hope you do. You lot seem to play to the level of the opposition sometimes, so I imagine youwill be all fired up for it. Is it at the emirates?
I think it has the makings of a very tight 3 team race this year. I’m not saying we “need” a signing, but if we were to dip into the Ronaldo cash and bring in someone with a little bit extra, we could go on a good run. And Chelski will hopefully drop some points in the ACN, even though their opposition is shit in that time. Or maybe even Drogba will pick up an injury whilst there… one can hope.
Tony — I thought he played well. He was always looking to get involved and found himself in some good spaces. Those chances were nothing greater than half chances, most of them on his left foot. But overall I was pleased.
Obertan on the other hand…. I just don’t see what everyone else on here does. Oh well, he’s young I guess and still finding his feet. Maybe I’m just being a bit harsh.
@ Tony Starks
Great effort – I’m not sure he’s ever worked this hard in his career, but a bit short on product. He was hardly the only one who played the odd wayward ball today (especially up-front) but he played his fair share. It’d be nice to see him work the keeper a bit more – I know he’s still fairly new, but this “settling in” can’t go on forever.
@ Tony Starks
Got into the right positions but was very unlucky not to score the dozen of the chances he missed, however he’s now got 90 minutes under his belt.
@ jandsdad
I think it must be my inner social-worker! Keeps him off the streets, dunnit?
Nobody’s talking about the real story today:
VALENCIA CRACKED A SMILE! – TWICE!
@ tony sparks- owen was alright, he was very energetic and all over the place but made a few bad decisions like when he ran too far, he should’ve just chipped it over the keeper. he also misplaced a few passes here and there, but not more than rooney. i think baby kai has been giving him some sleepless nights. evra was BRILLIANT, i thought he’d be tired after playing for two hours against ireland, but he was tireless…galloping down the left wing as always.
@GHTT- lol @ the thought of giggsy being a wrestler! they always use this american commentator for la liga games along with a scottish guy (i forget his name), and he’s soo disdainful towards the american. keeps telling him to shut up..it’s hilarious, and what is with this “P.K” nonsense?? just call it a bloody penalty :@ hope you get your birthday present and pool crash out of the champions league.
on a side note, can i just say i’m sick of fans from other teams calling fletcher shite?! my gooner friend tells me today that fletcher isn’t fit to wear our jersey? WHAT!!!?!?!? his goal aside today (which was just BRILLIANT), we are unplayable when he’s in midfield. anybody else have friends who annoy you with their stupid opinions?
@tony starks
thought owen played fairly well, and his movement as usual was spot on, and caused some problems for tim howard.
his best goal chance of the match looked identical to the winner against man city, too bad he couldn’t get that same result.
btw- big fan of the your username…
introducing the ghost… face.. killaaaaaah!
JELLYBEAN
If an Arsenal player says Fletcher is shite then he must not have watch any Manchester United arsenal games in the last 2-3 years
@ Jellybean
Fletch is gonna get this for a while to come I’m afraid. He got a bit of a reputation for being shit a few years back and it seems to have stuck! Unfortunately most football fans don’t take the time to form their own assessment – they just parrot the crap they’ve heard in the media. Once the media starts giving him the recognition he deserves (it’s starting to happen), wait about another 18 months and window lickers will start catching on. They’ll never give him too much credit though – He’s still a United player, don’t forget!
yeah i would like to reiterate redbean.. Valencia’s smile says it all. fullstop
One of the better home performances this season, though not happy with the final result. We should have had at least 6.
We could do with a better play in the final third of the pitch. Scholes was immense when he came on. I think we can now go on a long wining run.
@ GHTT
Im from Hungary and im really sure Debrecen will be fired up for this game against the dippers after conceding 14 goals so far in the CL, so i think there is a good chance you’ll have your wishes fullfilled for your birthday.
superb performance…..thought valencia looked on the money today and alot faster than normal.
A couple of cracking goals that will stand out in my memory for a while.
Evra my man of the match….up and down that wing all game and skillful as fuck!
Just got back home from the game.
Saw some crowd trouble in the Everton section of support.
Never seen anything like it at Old Trafford.
Twice it kicked off with the stewards and the fuzz.
Wonder what happened.
@United4eva
true that is… Fletcher is the new king of the Man Utd midfield
Alpha Rs- It was the Everton fans surging by all accounts. Why the chants of “murderers” today? Thought that was a bit off. No more than them wishing death on Kai though.
Ever been to a game and sat next to somebody who targets a single player for criticism?
Sat near a guy today who wouldn’t stop going on about Vidic getting closer to his man. Every bloody time, a comment about Vidic giving him space. Alright, even IF that’s the case, just shut the fuck up!
I love the club, but we have some proper wankers for fans.
Bebeto – Yeah I agree mate, some real pricks there. One geezer two seats down was fast asleep for the whole first half pissed up and the other was incessantly singing the Wes song but the WRONG fucking words. “Orange Everywhere”. Clowns.
Pat – I cannot believe you are back on the United site on a fucking match day. How arrogant are you that you think you will just turn Bolton over? You probably will but even so. Furthermore you can’t have been watching Football too long if you think the run in “will be easy”. It is notoriously difficult as players are either injured, off form or just plain fucked. You ain’t the strength in depth to overcome this. Finally I remember you slating Fletch the other night. You know nothing my friend. Best box to box midfielder in the league.
The world, King Eric, in the world.
@ Bebeto
He probably heard the phrase on TV and liked the sound of it – that’s usually how it works!
Tell you what, who’d've thought No Scholes, Owen starting and the quality of our midfield play today, Fergie is a master of selecting his team now, he knows what each game needs and Owen was quality today, his movement is fantastic, I hope the kids pick up on his movement as was highlighted on MOTD, overall though I must admit he was disappointing but he’s always in the chances and it’s fantastic to see, when Tevez left and we replaced him with Owen I was cautious as many were, now I wouldn’t swap Owen for many strikers, we have 3 top strikers and all are happy, still early in the race and i’m still confident we can nail it.
@King Eric
Couldn’t see from where I was sitting in E37.
Murderer’s chant was distasteful but so was some of their chanting too.
That kinda stuff will never change. How you can wish death on a baby and not feel ashamed of yourself I do not know.
But on to the game 3 goals from midfiled players. Nice to see them having a go at scoring too!
