Quick Reactions To Victory Over Schalke

Quick Reactions To Victory Over Schalke

1. We’re there. Third European Cup final in four years. When you consider that before 1999, we had only played in one European Cup final in our club’s entire history, this really is an incredible achievement. Congratulations to the lads. 2. That said, today doesn’t feel like the morning after the victory over Barcelona in [...]

Reactions To Arsenal Defeat…

1. For the past few years, we’ve beaten Arsenal pretty much every time we’ve played them, whether that be in the league, the European Cup or the FA Cup. Since the last time they beat us back in 2008, the only time we didn’t beat them was the draw penultimate game of the 08-09, when [...]

View From The Stands: United Fan On Victory Over Schalke

The Veltins-Arena (The Auf Schalke Arena for UEFA’s sponsorship purposes), Gelsenkirchen, host of the 2004 Champions League final, where Ronaldo winked, Rooney saw red, England crashed out and the re-birth of a siege mentality that Fergie used to take United to 3 league title and 1 European cup within the following 3 years. Gelsenkirchen is [...]

Quick Reactions To Victory Over Everton…

1. We would have taken any three points today. To get them on the back of a good performance and well worked goal is very nice. Everton were resilient and it was becoming a worry whether we’d be able to break them down, but we kept our nerve, passed the ball around well and were [...]

Quick Reaction To Draw Against Newcastle…

1. After several players talking about making amends for Saturday’s disappointment, we didn’t see any real urgency until the last 15 minutes. We’re still in the driving seat but a win last night would have put all the pressure on Arsenal and Chelsea today. Now they’ll be galvanised, knowing they can get closer to us [...]

Quick Reactions To Victory Over Fulham…

1. Well done Luis Nani, our player of the season. That’s an incredible 18 assists and 9 goals from 28 games. He’s an irritating little so and so and I find myself shouting at him to get up on a weekly basis, but this guy is so talented and if we’re lifting the title in [...]

View From The Stands: United Fan On Victory Over Chelsea

Milan, Munich, Barcelona, Madrid, just four great names that spring to mind when United fans think of European away trips. Nearly 100,000 in the Camp Nou, a rocking San Siro, the sight of the red lights that surround the Allianz, sights you would normally be seeing when you follow the reds in Europe, but just [...]

Quick Reactions To Victory Over Chelsea…

1. Finally! FINALLY! A win at Stamford Bridge. We’ve waited for that result for years so what a time for it to come. We’ve put ourselves in an excellent position for the second leg now. Just getting an away goal would have been good enough, even if it was a draw or a 2-1 defeat. [...]

Reaction To Victory Over West Ham

1. Every time United find themselves in a rubbish situation, you do have to wonder if this is going to be one of the occasions when we can’t turn it around. Time and again we pull it off, which is why fans are left with faith of a result in situations they have no right [...]

Quick Reactions To Victory Over Arsenal

Quick Reactions To Victory Over Arsenal

1. I was fuming when I heard the line-up. I’ve tried to limit knee jerk reactions to the team news given the amount of times Sir Alex Ferguson has made me look a knob head for doing so but I couldn’t hold back today. I was furious. Hearing that Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher were [...]

Quick Reactions To Liverpool Defeat

1. Just like we never win at Stamford Bridge, it’s become routine that United don’t play well at Anfield. Yes, we get a result here and there but our performances have been poor for years. Today was probably the worst display there for some time though, with our players lacking the passion, desire and ability [...]

Reaction To Chelsea Defeat

1. The first 45 minutes left us asking why we didn’t play like this every away game and why we didn’t play 442. Maybe the second question answers the first. After trying a 4 man midfield against Wigan, albeit with Nani on his less favoured left wing and Darren Fletcher shifted out from central midfield [...]

Quick Reactions To Victory Over Wigan

Quick Reactions To Victory Over Wigan

1. Ahead of kick off I asked for a usual 4-0 over Wigan but was wary of the chances of this happening. Five teams have been better on the road this season which is a shocking record for a side hoping to be named champions. Thankfully our home record is immense but when even a [...]

Quick Reactions To Victory Over Southampton…

Quick Reactions To Victory Over Southampton…

1. Sir Alex Ferguson obviously has a lot of faith in Ander Lindegaard to let him make his début behind a defence with the average age of 23 (that’s including 29-year-old John O’Shea!). Or maybe he really believes in Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans’ ability. By and large, we got away with. Smalling got higher [...]
