Class act! Teddy said he would have him in Defensive Midfield role "all day long"! Saw second half and end of first and thought MC had a good game, kept it simple and swept up at the back. Class act!

I’m sick of the John Terry band-wagon rolling around this country with these sycophants hanging off the side of it telling me how good he is." This is very true Jake, altho I am in favour of the lets all hate John Terry bandwagon. We can chuck Ashley Cole into that hate bandwagon aswel, is there a bigger prick in the whole of football than Ashley Cole??? I really cant see it!

The commentary after his goal was cringeworthy. "FEARLESS" "CAPTAIN COURAGEOUS" and graeme le saux..."it takes a big man to come out and take responsibility like he just did"... well actually graeme it doesnt. He made a mistake. Everyone without their john terry tinted glasses could see it was his mistake. he even admitted it because it was his fault ffs. anyway, rant over. United > England probably the worst thing to happen in my opinion. he’ll end up starting every england game meaning he wont be as fresh us.

I'm sick of the John Terry band-wagon rolling around this country with these sycophants hanging off the side of it telling me how good he is. He has the turning circle of a double-decker bus and an inability to make any decision (right or wrong), yet that doesn't seem to stop Fifa and UEFA rating him higher than Rio in their player rankings. I'm English but I might as well be Mexican because I couldn't care less about them, in retrospect I'm pleased Rio didn't get the captaincy for England even though he clearly wanted it. At least United fans can still leave England where it has and always will be, a distant 2nd place to the fortunes of our club.

Maybe they saw a different goal as from where I was watching John Terry was clearly at fault for not clearing his lines and making a pathetic attempt to shield the player!

Apart from that, he looked very comfortable going forward and defending. The only trouble with playing both Carrick and Barry when your tatics are to hit the fast front men early are, you dont get a central midfielder supporting the attack as they both tend to hang back. Glen Johnson played very well and could easily start ahead of Brown when it matters. Id like to see Rooney and Agbonlahor, i think that would absolutely destroy defences Young was wasted on the right, need him on the left for Downing, although Downing didnt play badly, he never really seemed a serious threat to the opposition, whereas Ashley Young on the left is a menace.

I thought Wright Philips, Bent and Downing were shite. I guess Bent has blown his chance of being picked again. I honestly do not understand what anyone sees in Downing. He's all running down the flanks and nothing else. As for Wright Philips, well not one single decent pass, shot or cross yesterday. Ashley Young could have done better as well especially against yesterday's feeble opposition. In the short time he was on the pitch, he kept running into opponents as if they where ghosts.
