    glad to see fabio playing, get the job done lads

  2. Berba's Grandpa says:

    Fantastic line up! Nani and Park always thrive against the Arsenal, Anderson gets a deserved start and Fabio and the Rooney-Hernandez partnership get to continue their good work. Damn I wish I’d posted a prediction today, I’d have gotten it right for once!
    The only disappointment is no Fletcher on the bench, but hopefully we’ll see him and a fresh Scholsey against Schalke =)
    We’re going to smash them today!

    GOD BLESS UNITED! GO Lads And WIN!

    Happy Match Day Reds!

    Come on United!

    My enforced absence from RoM continues after this brief message to all who care. The occasion of internet access is currently brief and infrequent. My life is undergoing a tremendous metamorphosis, including a physical move from a communal paradise to my own little garden-of-eden/corner-of-Scotland. Crucially I am able to watch live television via satellite, so no games missed. However, I long to reconnect to the wonderful family that is RoM.

    All Glory to Manchester United!

    Feel sorry for Tony V although he has been a great impact sub recently!

  7. Macedonia_United says:

    We dont have another centralmidfielder on the bench

  8. Chicharito says:

    @Macedonia_United says: Ummm Long John O’Shea has got you covered there!

  9. rashomuyoma says:

    RED DEVILS…..move nearer to the trophy to M16 by whipping those arses

  10. WHAT ??? says:

    Thats a Tasty Line up. The Suns shining, Enjoy the Match Lads!!!

  11. arijc says:

    Its Rafael, not Evans on the subs bench.

  12. JayDee says:

    Bit worried about the lack of Giggs / Scholes on the bench, you might need a touch of experience as a sub in the 2nd half if we are 1-0 down or 1-0 up. Resting for next week no doubt just hope the boys can do it!

  13. Costas says:

    Fabio gets rewarded for his recent displays. Great to see. I hope he lasts the 90 again. We usually do the business against Arsenal with 4-5-1, but this formation could get the job done too I feel. Although I see the draw as a more likely result.

    @smartalex

    Good to hear from you again friend.

  14. McQueen says:

    I like how Fabio’s getting a run in the team, can’t have been easy for him to watch his twin from the sidelines the whole time. Both equally fantastic young players, must be the envy of every premier league manager these two.

  15. Ash says:

    Welcome back smartalex.
    Sure we will win today.Believe.

  16. james21 says:

    Got this gut feeling of a Big Utd win today say 0-3 0-4. I’d settle for 0-1 though. Come on Utd.

  17. Redbeard says:

    No Fabregas? Who’s Ando gonna shit on??

  18. swede says:

    Sadly Nani is preferred ahead of Valencia so the flow of our game will be destroyed. We will lose and will have to beat Chelsea in a weeks time as we won’t win at Rovers.

  19. Raizzen says:

    Interesting lineup! Fabrigas is benched to save his face before getting nutmegged the hell out of him by Ando!

  20. rat1p says:

    @swede
    erm who are u again the Oracle of Delphi :)

  21. radziu says:

    You can watch this game here:

  22. Costas says:

    I admit that Nani starting also has me a bit worried about our attacks. But, if he plays anywhere close to how he played against them last year, he should slaughter them.

  23. Ash says:

    Swede
    Admit it you are a arsehole fan in disguise.Ohh i understand you feel embarrassed to call yourself as a n arsehole fan.

  24. Raizzen says:

    Costas

    i think something will come out from the combination of Park and Nani. But then again those our secret weapons (who arent that secret anyway) against Le Arse

  25. 90+Until We Score says:

    @swede
    Great prediction….clap clap…….
    I know a lot of people me being one of them are going to be happy seeing smartalex back. Time to shit on their kozzer and signing of the season….Are we going to see Rafael and Fabio on the same wings in the future….you never know..

  26. carloc1978 says:

    massive game we need these 3points bigtime come on united!

  27. Xyth says:

    Come on United Let’s kill the fucking title race today!!!!

  28. swede says:

    I am a United fan but a realistic one who do not think we are going to win everything like most other United fans. If you lot as United fans have not learned we always do it the hard way then where have you been over the years?

  29. Raizzen says:

    No where have YOU been throughout the years ? We always B.E.L.I.E.V.E

  30. 90+Until We Score says:

    @swede
    We do things the hard way, but don’t get the point of saying we are going to lose to Arsenal or Rovers before a game, why would you want to think like that before a game….maybe u want to be realistic…I couldn’t care much…..We are Man UTD…We do what we want

  31. swede says:

    I thought one only Believed in the church on Sundays!
    I only trust what I see.

  32. TonyBee says:

    welcome back to ROM Smartalex…… Cedars was going frantic……… have had a bit of fun with some eejits on here over the last day or so

  33. Costas says:

    @Raizzen

    Park in particular has caused them plenty of damage over the years. Yeah he is not that secret anymore, but I’ve always wondered how you plan to deal with him if you are an opposition manager. At least Nani is back on the right and that’s imo where he is best at. I just hope his decision making is spot on.

  34. Costas says:

    Come on United!

  35. Zibbie says:

    Nice to see Smart Alex back Cedars was worried as were many of us. In your will you should declare someone to post your death. Shit any 48 hour period with no contact. There were many who thought you were sick or dead.
    GLORY GLORY MAN UTD !!!!!!!!!
    GO ROONEY!!!!!!!!!

  36. Indonesian UTD No.1 Fan says:

    Come On u Mighty United..!! Take all the 3 points we need, and prepare for The Battle of 19th Title next week @ OT. God Bless Our Fight tonight..amen.

  37. Bebeto says:

    Arsenal be prepared for a shock today.

  38. Ryandunny says:

    Smartalex welcome back you’ve been surely missed.

    Nice to see Nani playing. Some of his best performances in a United shirt have come against Arsenal. Has a chance to try earn himself a place in right midfield for next few games…. weird saying that about arguable our player of the season.

  39. CedarsDevil says:

    COME On UNITED

    smartalex

    Fantastic to hear from you again buddy

  40. slim says:

    @swede

    “I only trust what I see”

    So what have you seen exactly that you’re sure we’ll lose. Goes without saying that in a football match you either win,lose or draw. As a supporter you back your team not put them down using baseless logic.”I only trust what i see” absolute bollocks mate

  41. Zibbie says:

    @SmartAlex your thought,s on Barca and Pedro and Biscuntz fake acting and any other remarks we have missed over the last 2 weeks.

  42. Toby says:

    Was there a last minute change to the team sheet or something? Both on here and on Goal.com it said Evans and Gibson were starting.

  43. berbatunday says:

    awesome we are wearing black and not white

  44. Redrethosareto says:

    Worried about Nani,he has bn selfish n down lately op he cn pull thiz for 19th.B E L I E V E!

  45. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Great lineup and you can see why Fabio is rated more highly than Rafael by some people. His performances in the past few weeks have proved that and he gets a deserved start. Still sad for Berba but I think he will get a run out against Schalke given that the tie is almost sealed.

    I expect Arsenal to as usual have a go since they don’t know how else to play. I am predicting good things to happen today but don’t want to say it aloud because I am sure to jinx it.

    Come on United.

    @swede, I think most ROM regulars are practical people and don’t expect us to win all games. But saying we will find it difficult is much different from saying we will auto-lose. That too against Rovers who even City were able to beat a few weeks back. If you want to be practical, then by all means, be so. But don’t say shit like we will lose to Arsenal and Blackburn, that just makes you sound like a cynical idiot with all due respect.

    Hayley McQueen:

    How does one define sunshine upon a sunny day ;)

    Come on Manchester United – this shirt is a symbol of redemption – just for willierednut ;)

  47. Saad says:

    No depth in midfield unless SAF plays O’Shea in there. No probs.

  48. united.george says:

    ha, the black strip…..well, at least it is not the white one…..

  49. edwin says:

    COME ON UNITED!!!

  50. berbatunday says:

    also a lil pessimistic stats, 3 of the 4 UCL semi finalists lost yesterday

  51. MG says:

    smartalex is back!

    Glad you’re back – glad you’re fine ;)

  52. MG says:

    This keep ball is to be expected from Barcelona :lol:

  53. MG says:

    Okay come on this is taking the piss

  54. MG says:

    Okay where is everyone?

    Having a barbecue 8)

  55. 102melbourne says:

    were getting owned at the moment

  56. friveluss says:

    Opening 10mins arsenal 78% ball possesion! Whoa!

  57. nani4ever says:

    Come utd 4 points away from 19, its right there for us another hard fought 90 mins and we’re a point closer. glory glory Man Utd!

  58. jim says:

    why giggs doesnt play?

  59. Tonka Norris says:

    Worry about Fabio looking wild. Hope he keeps it together

  60. Xyth says:

    We have started very slowly. let’s hope we weather this beginning storm unscathed!

  61. devilnani says:

    where the fuck is our midfield

  62. devilnani says:

    Diving cunt wilshere

  63. McQueen says:

    shooooooooot fabio!

  64. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @devilnani, They’re slowly arriving. I’m assuming they still haven’t gotten over the Royal Wedding. Don’t worry, they’ll come soon. Good thing is that our defense is already here, so not much to worry about. :D

  65. Troy says:

    jim

    Gigg’s has flu

  66. devilnani says:

    Wow…wilshere really playing the arsenal way..cheating wuss..

  67. MG says:

    Someone remind Manchester United we have a title to win

    Fuck me Vidic that was so close…

  68. McQueen says:

    not worried about all this possession, it’s how we always play against them, but they have a little more penetration about them than we would like

    woooah, handball vidic, how sly was that?

  69. devilnani says:

    vidic with a blatant handball..referee favours us..he better, after what happened in london

  70. McQueen says:

    fuck me fabio’s quick

  71. friveluss says:

    After 30mins arsenal 67% ball posession. Not good enough. I sense the dryer….looooming

  72. slim says:

    they’ve got our number boys, we’ve got to improve

  73. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    McQueen, The Hand of God is guiding us to the title mate. :D

  74. theevildog says:

    Lucky arsenal didnt get pen. Dont know wtf vidic was doing with his hands. After all the whine at chelsea yesterday. Hope we can play better.

  75. manutdisadream says:

    looks like vidic went for it with his hand, i dunno if it was contact, didnt look like it but that could easly been a pen

  76. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    I’m so fucking nervous, can we at least keep the ball a bit better?

  77. manutdisadream says:

    a yellow for that?

  78. nani4ever says:

    how is that a yellow, roo better keep is cool

  79. Zibbie says:

    The twins agreat and they play for Man Utd!!!
    Nice one for us Vidic what a hand ball only him Van Pussy and VDS saw it wow the Rent Boyz are freaking out FUCKING YELLOW???????????????? COME ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    GO ROONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  80. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Wilshere falling like a fly to get Rooney the yellow. I fucking hate Arsenal.

  81. Ash says:

    Its look like we are playing for the draw.Cmonn guys play the united way.

  82. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Rooney keep your fucking head, we need 11 men on this pitch

  83. McQueen says:

    there was definitely contact, he took it right off van persie’s head and, probably, saved us being 1 down. still… bit fucking risky. stupid really.

  84. captaink9 says:

    Playing for a draw , we will lose today. Maybe the day we lose the title?

  85. scorpio says:

    is it a tactical from SAF to counter attack in first half…and pressure arsenal & attack them on 2nd half?

  86. manutdisadream says:

    wow, foye is blind. second time he doesnt get out of the way for the ball.

  87. 102melbourne says:

    rooney looks fustrated,
    but were looking good on the break

  88. Zibbie says:

    Man Utd is playing a heavy flow day defense , they are using a extra absorbent Maxie Pad.
    Neutralize the fresh legs the like now push forward and score!?!

  89. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Rooney is finally taking hold of the game and we are seeing more of the ball. Like I said, I don’t care if Arsenal have 100% possession, they have to beat Vidic and Rio which is almost impossible.

    As long as football is about goals scored rather than possession of the ball held, Arsenal are not going to win anything in English football.

    I expect United up the ante in the second half after the hairdryer.

    Also, I fucking hate this Arsenal team. At least, the teams Neville mentioned had men like Parlour, Adams, Winterburn, Keown and Viera. These days, they are made of crying pussies who don’t have the balls to play in the Premier League.

  90. Zibbie says:

    @captaint 9 shut up already!!!

  91. RedMegleeker says:

    @Captain K9

    Why don’t you fucking wind your neck in, negative bullshit all the time from you I’ve seen your scum on here before…

  92. aimanunited says:

    somebody please teach anderson how to shoot, he doesn’t look confident to make an attempt and it’s awfully weak!

  93. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    i’m fucking shaking lol

  94. carloc1978 says:

    really poor 1st half we need to up our game

  95. devilnani says:

    Bring on the hairdrier…

  96. manutdisadream says:

    wow even though i hate l’arse i feel for them. i would gone mental if foye took away the passing from us. he is walking in the way of the ball. haha its actualy ridicioulus

  97. Zibbie says:

    0-0 cool now make a plan to seal the victory!!!!!

  98. Unitedyankee says:

    Sign up Foy! He looks like a great holding midfielder!! Love the way Arse players stop playing each time! C’mon United

  99. 102melbourne says:

    nothing like everton and schalke game. We need some posession…… missing valencia…

  100. Zibbie says:

    Every time I post when refreshing it goes to Smartalex 12:26 post how cool is that!

  101. nani4ever says:

    Fucking hilarious commentators saying foye is playing a blinder intercepting those balls

  102. parryheid says:

    Looking forward to Valencia ripping lumps out of that defence of Arsenal he is our out ball and brings Chicha his chances.

  103. zappa says:

    Valencia on for Nani, 2nd half please!

  104. Troy says:

    Come-on boys, give us just one decent away performance …. please

  105. Costas says:

    Not too bad. We are still playing Arsenal away guys. It won’t be 0-2 at halftime in every game. At least lets get more creative in the final 3rd.

    As for Vidic, he shouldn’t extend his hadn like that, but is there contact with the ball? I couldn’t see it to be honest.

  106. MG says:

    captaink9

    Fuck off don’t be so stupid

    Titles are not won as easy as that

    Did you see Barcelona yesterday? Madrid lost and Barcelona could have won the title but lost so have to wait

    Give it a break. United have to up the pressure that’s it.

  107. Kings says:

    Bit of naughtiness there from Vida. He needs to be careful. As for Wilshere, fuck off you odd-bodied little cunt, trying to mouth off at Vida, he’ll fucking murder ya you little cunt.

  108. TonyBee says:

    need Valencia on and Nani to go wide left….if Park goes off Nani will really need to do a shift today…..

  109. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    @aimanunited – he really needs to dedicate time on learning how to shoot, 10 or even 20 fucking minutes after every training can’t hurt, he needs tips from paul scholes too.

  110. Kings says:

    Fabio looks really good going forward. Tenacious little warrior too. Great stuff.

  111. MG says:

    Costas

    Vidic thought we were playing cricket for a split second 8)

  112. missingOTnowiminoz says:

    What a shit yellow for Rooney, he’s keeping his cool but with shit cards like that from the ref it’s not helping! The FA will prob tell the ref at half time to give a shit penalty for missing the vidic handball and then retrospectively give him a red card and ban him for the last 3 games!

    We are creeping into the game though, arse getting frustrated, no clear chances…and i feel even how the game is going we are the most dangerous and we’ll get more dangerous as the game goes on… a park winner in the 75th minute!

  113. friveluss says:

    We just ended a half vs arsenal with 38% ball possesion n we can reasonably expect to play barca in the cl final! Jeeeez, if we can’t nuetralise arsenals passing game how are gonna fair against a team that had more than 70%possesion against them!

  114. Real AB says:

    I think job well done. Keep it going same way for next 15 minutes and then increase the tempo a bit when they start to get tied..

  115. slim says:

    not the best first half and Vidic was a lucky boy. i don’t think we’re playing for a draw, we always play the counter attacking game against Arsenal but so far doesn’t look too good. They’ve got more of the ball and we’re struggling to make the best out of when we do get it, that said we’ve looked good when the counter’s on. All in all an improved 2nd half will be needed to win the game. I’d swap nani or Park for Valencia to really make the counter have more teeth in the attack

  116. Utd4life says:

    Poor 1st half..Gotta pick up the ante in the 2nd half which I’m sure we will..GGMU!!!!

  117. MG says:

    Costas

    Wait:

    Vidic thought we were playing American Football 8)

  118. Zibbie says:

    RVP is spreading the agony of defeatist mind set, it was a fucking hand ball the gods are against us we are destined to ram the trophieless desert for anther 34 yearsssss………!

  119. Kings says:

    Costas – Those are usually given mate. He was lucky there to be honest mate.

  120. Ash says:

    If i was a arsenal fan i would be worried.They had a great chance of scoring atleast 2 goals and make their game but no they showed that they are arsenal.But overall it clearly looks like we are playing for draw.Cmonn beat the goons and win the tittle against the cunt next week

  121. CedarsDevil says:

    Captaink9 do yourself a favor and piss off you negative cunt…..

    We kept Arsenal at bay for 45 minutes and silenced their crowd…..

    Now we will get at them second half…….

    Samuel – united WE stand

    have a drink mate!! lol

  122. james21 says:

    How any Utd fan can come on here like Captaink9 and talk with such negativity is totally beyond me. We’re doing the job and I can still smell us winning 0-3 0-4. We just need to get some passes together and get Chicharito to stay onside.
    Come on Utd.

  123. Fred says:

    Never a pen. Fuck off Arsenal.

  124. RedNomad says:

    SWEAR WATCH! Chris Foy 45 minutes, told Wiltshire to “Fuck off” after getting in his way…..looked like it anyway.

    COME ON UNITED!

  125. 90+Until We Score says:

    We have played with probably 50% less energy than normal, park chico rooney nani all haven’t really got stuck in…honestly speaks a lot about the Arsenal team than United in my opinion….after 10 mins the commentators @ ESPN says, we are seeing freshness from Arsenal team…my fuck freshness, they play like this week in week out and still don’t get a shot on target…..not a proper save….you can take your 70% possession and VDS has to do is sit and comfortable catch crosses….talk about title challengers……if we turn up the next 45 we can slaughter them….I hope Arsenal score…..and with a incorrect penalty decision to rule out Vidic handball and then we can fkin pawn them……

  126. The truth says:

    So far we haven’t played like we want to win this, which is worrying. The lads need to wake up, our midfield have been made to look like shit, but that has been the case with most of our away games. Typical united away performance. How can this team, completely and utterly outplay European teams, and crumble in the premier league? Its absurd.

    Vidic, that handball was CRUCIAL, but wow. What a sneaky bastard. :D

    Come on UNITED! lets win this.

  127. 102melbourne says:

    a commentator comes out with this stat : chris foy has refereed 17 games of man u and they have not lost any of them!!!

  128. Kings says:

    Let’s increase the tempo and take the game to these pansy bastards. Come on UNITED!

  129. Zelh says:

    looks good so far.
    have to concentrate.
    arsenil will make mistakes.

  130. devilnani says:

    Fucking half time report..saying referee has been our best playing..fucking bastards … Where were they yesterday you abu cunts?

  131. TonyBee says:

    I am listening to some Asian cunt on ESPN….saying that VIDA should be red carded and that the ref has been our best player……like many dicks on here that press ‘submit comment’ before engaging brain …fucking laughable

  132. Xyth says:

    We were quite lucky so far, but we are living dangerously. The were getting behind us far too easily and we have not shown much in attack. Fabio should have had a shot himself when he found himself in front of their goal.

    Surely we must improve in the second half.

  133. united.george says:

    we need to maintain our cool, especially now that wayne has a yellow…cannot afford anyone to miss the cheslea game next weekend…especially wayne.

    Come on United!

  134. Costas says:

    @MG

    Lol. 8)

    @Kings

    I just didn’t see his hand actually touch the ball mate. He was silly for stretching it like that, but there has to be contact. Either way, what worries me in cases like this, is that having seen the replay, Foy might try to make up for this. We better be extra careful with our marking.

    Oh and Rooney should be careful too. Don’t want to lose ahead of Arsenal.

  135. parryheid says:

    Second half watch the transformation from United as we do less containing and start pushing out.

  136. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    some united fans think we’ll just waltz to victory against arsenal at home, they’re dangerous side to be honest and we gotta stay compact.

    Why are they banging on about the handball, How about chelsea apparently getting some ‘luck’ yesterday? fucking paying the ref’s more like.

    We need to keep our discipline and try keep the ball. van persie, nasri, walcott are match winners, we have to be careful.

    Rooney and hernandez need to combine well again, nani ain’t delivering enough crosses in to be honest.

  137. redrider says:

    Have to say great play by vida… Cheeky… van persie cribbin as though he’d have buried that header lol… Gimme a break!

  138. Costas says:

    Lose Rooney ahead of Chelsea I meant.

  139. Costas says:

    Come on United now. Step it up.

  140. tension says:

    we have been bloody lucky tbf

  141. captaink9 says:

    @ MG
    @ Zibbles
    Vidic had to walk it was hardball and he got let off earlier for a foul on willsher .
    Chelsea have the momentum now, I have my doubts with utds away form.

  142. Troy says:

    You would swear that there was nothing at stake, the way we are playing.
    Vidic got lucky, very lucky.
    We are getting bossed around by kids, kids for fucks sake.
    There have been so many stories in the press about the DNA of Manchester United and the ‘never give in’ attitude, but really our away efforts in the league don’t reflect this.

  143. Utdforever says:

    Need Berbs to hold the ball up in second half.. him and Valencia on on the 65th minute for me. Come on United!! We can do this!!!!

  144. jrdonl says:

    utd to win 0-1..owen goal

  145. Zibbie says:

    2nd half LET GO MAN UTD !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  146. edwin says:

    COME ON UNITED!!!!

  147. captaink9 says:

    @ Cedars
    Need to make an attacking change here.

  148. matt says:

    let rooney hit it get away nani

  149. devilnani says:

    Bend it like rooney…

  150. matt says:

    good strike

  151. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    I tweeted rooney to improve his free kick taking and seems to be improving it lol

  152. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Looks like Rooney is perfecting the Beckham style free kick which is good news for us certainly because we’ve been missing free kick takers since Ronaldo left.

  153. MG says:

    captaink9

    Defiance – you either have it or you don’t

    I fear we don’t.

  157. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Nani can produce these amazing crosses. Problem is 90% of the time playing football, he thinks about himself. If he can become more consistent with his decision making, you’ll be looking at a different beast altogether.

  158. 102melbourne says:

    good vvalencia on, should get some width

  159. Troy says:

    Samuel

    I will calm down when we play like champions, away from home.

    just hit him boys

    we could throw this all away. We need a point and it doesn’t look good.

    We need chelskis luck or bribery.

    now we need berba magic!!! wazza to be move to midfield, berba & chica upfront to trouble arsenal…

  177. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @RedLife, No we just need to be United mate. There’s a reason Chelsea and Arsenal don’t have that behind their names and we do.

    Mikey!

    another sort of city game here, after every champions league we always under perform

  190. kel says:

    WHat can i say? We alway blow up our chance and do it the hard way.

    Nvm, we will fight till the end.

    Not sure why we didnt play well like this in the first half.

  191. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    Game over to be honest.

  192. jjd says:

    We went into this game with the thought of 6 points advantage, don’t really matter if we lose. Shameful. Players and supporters alike. Got what we deserved. Fuck us. Fuck us very much.

    cunts

    Ahhh FUCK!!!!

  197. Utd4life says:

    Got everything to do against Chelsea..To be honest we didn’t deserve anything from the game..A very lacklustre performance from the lads..

  198. Saad says:

    Tough loss. Arsenal deserved it. They pushed harder for it.

  199. Zibbie says:

    Way to much coffee and a loss not a good combo, fuck………………………….

  200. Channy says:

    FUCK OFF! Clear penalty!!!

  201. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Equation still remains the same. Beat Chelsea at Old Trafford and win the title. We’re a different beast at home unless the referee conspires against us.

    Oh, and no discussion about the penalty. Clichy clearly tripped Owen’s legs there. Defo pen for me.

    Nani is arguably the most frustrating player when he is out of form and has a loss of confidence. The problem with him is that he doesn’t do the simple things like passing the ball. He passes the ball instead of shooting it, we are 1-1. I always told you that his selfishness could cost us something. READ CLEARLY: Not saying he lost us the game, we lost the game as team. But that is his obvious flaw which he has not shown any sign of improving which is definitely worrying.

  202. The truth says:

    I agree, the tactics cost us. Berba should of started, and Hernandez, should of come off the bench. This is fucking annoying. We put ourselves under pressure, could of beaten those wankers, but decided to let them play for the first half. .

  203. Saad says:

    I was surprised with how sluggish the boys looked. I thought with 3.5 days rest they’d be a bit fresher than one would normally expect.

    We better put Chelsea’s dream to bed at OT. We can’t give them any reason to believe.

  204. orez says:

    I can’t believe we lost to this pussies. Very disappointing, but we didn’t create anything. Couple of half chances and that’s about it. It’s not the time to panic though. This was first of our two chances to wrap the title. the second one will be next week and if we blew that one then we should start to panic, but we will see.

  205. 90+Until We Score says:

    For some reasons not feeling gutted after this defeat……some days it’s not meant to be…….whole week ABU in full force about going to penultimate weekend……bah…

  206. Costas says:

    We had to allow it to go to the wire didn’t we? Well, a win for Chelsea and it’s advantage them. Just like last season. Great.

  207. Joel says:

    FUCK. Cannot believe we lost to the choking, bottling cunts

  208. Troy says:

    Now we go back home with everything to lose, and Chelsea to come and they have nothing to lose.
    Thanks to the usual suspects, and their suspect temperament.
    Fuck it, if we choke again, two years in a row, I will be in ‘random mass murder’ mode.

  209. Passe says:

    Fuck off

  210. lawman10 says:

    Will not beat about the bush we were a total bag of shit.
    we just have to beat the rent boys……………………………simple
    BELIEVE

  211. Costas says:

    Not Fergie’s best day imo. We usually do better against Arse with 4-5-1 and taking off Ando didn’t help.

  212. swede says:

    What did I say and who was right?
    You keep on supporting Nani until we stand there without a trophy at the end of this season.

  213. The truth says:

    One question, how did that cunt Ramsey not get atleast a yellow, for his numerous fouls? This fucking referee was more than happy to keep booking our players, and allow those bastards to chop us down. Fuck this. We have to beat Chelsea, simple.

  214. Saad says:

    Vidic’s handball and Owen’s penalty shout cancel each other out. End of that controversy. Nani and Valencia could’ve done better but I think today Arsenal pushed harder for the little things and the one-on-ones, so they deserve their victory.

  215. shebangsthedrums says:

    I just knew we’d lose today, I still think we’ll only need a draw against the chavs and we’ll be champions.

  216. rat1p says:

    now everything is on the brink against chelsea

  217. Utd4life says:

    Definite peno in Owen’s case but then so was vidic’s handball so it evened things out..But I expect us to beat Chelsea at home for the simple reason that we are a completely different animal at home..And SAF will give the lads a proper foot up their asses for this dire performance..So get through the match against schalke without too much fuss and then smash Chelsea to grab the 19th..

  218. ahjs says:

    With the officials on Chelsea’s side it’s looking a bit bleak.

    Looks like Arsenal turned up for their cup final a big late.

  219. parth_312 says:

    Can somebody tell me what the fuck was the ANDO substitution all about… In the 55th min u remove ur central midfielder to put on a winger at 0-0 ? Park in the midfield ? Its no surprise the goal came immediately after… Look at how no-one tracks Ramseys’s run into the box… A midfielder would have done tat.. Ando would have been in tat area…. Fuckin ridiculous substituition… there was absolutely no shape… Park and Carrick both played too deep… ridiculous… If it was injury even then it wasnt a like for like… IF we were 1-0 down before the sub, tats understandable… But at 0-0 away from home , u remove ur most creatvie thrust from the mid…. Shocking..,.

  220. Saad says:

    @swede

    No need for pessimism. It’s still ours to lose. Better to win the title by our own effort than have it gifted us by other people’s screw-ups and by refereeing favors (I just chuckled at that last part!).

  221. Red Coppel says:

    This was always going to be a tricky fixture to be honest…

  222. swede says:

    @slim

    So what have you seen exactly that you’re sure we’ll lose. Goes without saying that in a football match you either win,lose or draw. As a supporter you back your team not put them down using baseless logic.”I only trust what i see” absolute bollocks mate

    I see that we lack the passion and will to win it. Chelsea have a far superior pace and strength and that will make them defend the title.

  223. Costas says:

    Sorry, but there’s no such thing as evening things out. You don’t correct one mistake with another. Should have had a penalty. And since I am not convinced by Vida’s, we have more of a reason to be aggrieved than Arsenal.

  224. Utd4life says:

    @swede..Mate, do us all a favour and FUCK OFF..Either support the team or fuck right off..But don’t come in the end with this “I told you so” shite..It makes you look like a complete tool..

  225. parth_312 says:

    And i still cant wrap my head around how Ramsey was on the field … 3 fouls in 7 mins… all cynical… Disgusting… Rooney gets a yellow for his first foul near the touchline…

  226. shebangsthedrums says:

    Not to question Sir Alex, but, I do think we should have started with both Valencia and Nani out wide, Park doesn’t give us the width or he should have took Park off instead of Ando. Also should have brought on Berbatov earlier, it wasn’t Hernandez’s day today.

  227. Dre.FU= Forever United says:

    Unlucky today reds,

    ARSE had a great game, but when you have nothing to play for its easier aint it.

    That was their cup final, I’m annoyed that we didn’t…win that simple as that. I would have loved a draw but what ever will be will be.

    I wasn’t fooling myself into thinking that we could rely on our away form 5 wins aint good enough.

    On a lighter note still 3pts clear would be 6 if chelsea weren’t gifted the game.

    Come On Utd!!!

  228. nani4ever says:

    Very sub par performance from the players we really didn’t get a foot hole in the game until the last 5 mins, not enough aggressive attacking play, too much sitting back and conceding pressure.

    With that said the title is still within our grasp, we need to quickly forget about this one refocus the mind set to handle business in midweek, and to be gear up for our best performance of the season against the russians next week.

    We never give up, we never give in, we are united.

  229. The truth says:

    What annoys me the most was our first half performance, in comparison to the second. Had we played with a bit more flair, and attacked, perhaps the outcome could have been different. We only seemed to wake up after conceding, why? This, in my opinion is what cost us the game. We got beaten by pussies, great!
    Roll on Chelsea, im not panicking yet, but if our performance in that game resembles anything like the one in the first half. I am going to cut a bitch.

  230. Kings says:

    Balaji Sivaraman – Even if we beat Chelsea, we still require another point to win it. If we got a draw today and beaten Chelsea next week then we would be Champions. Need to make sure we win both our home games to be absolutely sure.

  231. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Kings, Not talking mathematically mate. I know the equation given that I spent the whole of last week working out the permutations and combinations. But it is still really simple: If we beat Chelsea, there is no way we are going to lose both our remaining games, that is what I meant when I said we beat Chelsea, we win the title.

  232. rat1p says:

    if we lose against chelsea they will be top thats concerning

  233. 90+Until We Score says:

    Where are the Carrick bashers??????When people say we lacked real passion after one defeat, it makes me wonder about expectations….you run your socks off in germany…at the bridge at OT…it’s but natural to feel jaded….and even if not that…ffs they are human….we make mistakes and we learn from them…that’s why we are still top…..
    @swede
    we do leave it very late and shoot ourselves in the foot…..but still not backing the team is not what I’ll ever do….

  234. Utd4life says:

    Chico had a really bad day at the office today..was getting manhandled by djororou and kosceilny..And Rooney was playing way too deep which didn’t allow them to link up properly..

  235. parryheid says:

    Does that answer the question you asked? what was it again Why cant we be the ones who win the games against Arsenal and Chelsea.

  236. jojo blanco says:

    We can’t win away against all the big boys. Champions? Fuck.

  237. Saad says:

    @Costas

    I’m not saying that the referee should compensate one wrong call with another. I’m saying they suffered one injustice and then we suffered one. It’s even on that count.

    And the consensus is that it was a handball. The ball’s trajectory did change a bit after passing Vidic and that could only have been caused by his hand.

  238. ahjs says:

    “u remove ur most creatvie thrust from the mid”

    Anderson isn’t a creative thrust. And why not sub him and try to attack via the wings? Certainly more useful against Arsenal.

    But then maybe you know more about beating Arsenal than Fergie?

    And Carrick always plays that deep (unless it’s Scholes playing that role). What’s new?

  239. James7t7 says:

    Lets hope that we can celebrate Uniteds worst title winning side in a few weeks time!!!

    Oh the irony!

    I love to see Vidic have the last laugh and score against Chelsea!!

    Cmon the reds!!

  240. rat1p says:

    vidic did the same thing at the world cup last year, didnt get away with it then though

  241. Dela says:

    I really wish Nani hadn’t gotten selfish in our chance with about 15 mins to go… but then again if he scored I’d be praising him so what can I say.

    It wouldn’t be the United of the last few years if we didn’t go out of our way to make it hard for ourselves. But hey, even a draw next week and it’s all over, and I think we’ll win at Old Trafford, I’m just sick of fucking waiting and having to listen to the media and every single ABU cunt trying to manipulate the math to find any way that we won’t make history and become the certified, undeniable kings of English football.

    Well fuck the world, because we will beat Chelsea at Old Trafford and even though it won’t be official, everyone will know that its O V E (fucking) R!!!!

  242. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Also, I told you so. Whenever one of the cunt pundits (Merson in this case) picks us to win comfortably, we invariably end up losing. I’ve seen that happening time and again for it to be a mere coincidence.

    @swede, IMO, with all due respect, people like you should be supporting a different club. Look at Costas, willie etc. – We are all logical enough in that we don’t expect to win all our games but ultimately we love this club and expect us to do a job at the end. Pessimism is arguably the worst quality you can have as a United fan given that our players have time and again shoved shit in our faces.

    Simple, if we beat Chelsea, we deserve to win the title. If we don’t, we don’t deserve to win the title and Chelsea would’ve been handed another title thanks to the F.A. But I expect the former to happen anyway since there is no way Sir Alex repeats mistakes. That is one thing I’ve learned in my life as a United supported.

  243. 90+Until We Score says:

    One thing that is worrying is now our Goal difference is same…..and just since e1 is here talking about losing to rovers…chelsea’s last game is at goodison….that won’t be easy either…..so dun get all fancy about Chelsea being this and that……we will defeat chelsea period.

  244. Utd4life says:

    @balaji..If we don’t win the game against Chelsea(unless we get screwed by the ref’s) then I will gladly concede the fact that we don’t deserve to win the title..But as you said I’m 100% confident that SAF won’t allow that to happen..

  245. wayne says:

    utd always struggle when we don’t play to our strength which is our attackers,utd have the most prolific strike force out there and when we take the game to teams show our best stuff,all season everytime we’ve sat back and given the team to much respect played crap,this is exactly the same as the fa cup semi,look at the chelsea away game first half took the game to them and looked the much better side,got the goal second half employed the same tatics as today and the city game lost the game.
    good thing to come out of this game we all know utd need the 3 pts next week so we’ll be going for it and that’s when utd are at their best.

  246. Saad says:

    I said in the beginning that we lacked midfield depth in the bench. Normally, Valencia would’ve been subbed for Park or Nani and then Scholesy would’ve come one in the last 15 minutes in place of Anderson.

  247. swede says:

    @Utd4life

    .Mate, do us all a favour and FUCK OFF..Either support the team or fuck right off..But don’t come in the end with this “I told you so” shite..It makes you look like a complete tool..

    Shouting the loudest does not mean you are right. I predicted this and I could see it coming after yesterdays Chelsea win. United always do it the hard way but I am telling you all now, United have blown it and do not deserve to be champions. Chelsea have been better and I am proud to be the only United fan in the world who can view the game without being biased. I was right and you were all wrong.

  248. Faddy is a legend says:

    @Ajhs

    to be fair mate, the Anderson-Valencia change was bizzare though, Park in the centre of midfield? Surely we would have been better bringing Rooney back there and bringing Berbatov on for Park. Only my opinion but i do feel SAF got that one wrong, especially so early on the half.

  249. rat1p says:

    @swede
    great conclusion mate ” I predicted this and I could see it coming after yesterdays Chelsea win”
    sir are you a complete idiot?

  250. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @swede, I am glad you feel that way mate. Nothing in this world feels better than standing by your opinion. But come 06:05 PM May 8th, 2011, we’ll see who has the last laugh. Whether it is United supporters or people masquerading to be United supporters.

    As I said, if United fail to beat Chelsea (unless it has something to do with Mr. Atkinson), I will gladly concede the title to the Rent Boys (It will be with referee help anyways). But I trust Sir Alex more than I even trust my own friends. So, it’s not happening.

  251. Kings says:

    Balaji Sivaraman – Those rentboy cunts still have to play at Everton on the last day anyway mate. Disappointing to lose today, but we are still in a good position and hopefully next week we can put those bastards out of the title race. Fingers crossed.

  252. Utd4life says:

    @swede..Wow, I was right..you are a dickhead..Looks like optimism isn’t one of your strong points..tch tch..Btw, which team knocked this great, all-conquering Chelsea team led by the greatest CB in the world comprising some of the worlds greatest midfielders in the CL quarterfinals???

  253. Saad says:

    I think this swede is a blue…a very very sneaky blue.

  254. Kings says:

    Balaji Sivaraman – There is absoutely no doubt in mind that Atkinson will be the referee for the game next Sunday.

  255. wayne says:

    @wede 1 you’re not a utd fan you’re a fucking troll,fucking rentboys the better side well why don’t you fuck off and go support them then,proud because you’re a fickle,plastic piece of shit,utd have not blown it a will win the league,i fucking hate cunts like you,just fuck off

  256. North Stand Tier 2 says:

    We were very poor today, not sure why Fergie put Anderson and Carrick in midfield, they were completely dominated the whole game. Anderson is starting to run on very thin ice now in my opinion, too often he is anonymous, doesnt work hard enough, and looks slow and labouring.

    I was surprised Fergie didnt go with one up top and put 5 in midfield. We do it everytime against Arsenal, and usually win. Not that they created a host of chances, and we actually probably had the best ones in the game, but overall we looked sluggish and not at the races.

    Rooney was poor, Carrick was poor, Rio and Vidic were smashing it over the top to their keeper the whole game – very bizarre performance. Just one of those days I think.

    We need to win against Chelsea now otherwise it could be curtains – I cant stand those twats winning the league again because of dodgy decisions.

  257. Vish says:

    Anyone else think that Park’s yellow card was harsh, considering the Arsenal player (forget who it was) pulled a Dani Alves?
    We just didnt seem to want it compared to them, and turns out Evra was right after all. Is Atkinson really the ref next week? Surely not, after the last 3 occasions?

  258. Faddy is a legend says:

    @Kings

    Yeah we don’t even need to beat Chelsea, get a draw if we can’t win then going by our glorious away form, probably a draw against Blackburn which would leave us 1 point ahead and then beat Blackpool on the final day, Champions.

  259. swede says:

    You can all question me about being a United fan but that is avoiding the issue here. I predicted we would lose and we did and I was right. I think United fans in general always brag and are cocky before each game saying we will win. Here we are now in a situation that we simply will not master.
    There is no way we will beat Chelsea which we need as we will not win at Rovers and might even lose there. I know that we have blown it but I am the only one who can see it already. This is the worst side we have had in a long time because they lack passion and strength and real desire. The performance today was a sunday stroll for our lads who did not care at all. It is the first time I feel embarrased about being a Man United fan cause those players are all rubbish.

  260. james21 says:

    We could have won today thats whats anoying.
    Chins up and will have to take it.

  261. Saad says:

    C’mon fellow Reds…don’t fall for it….this swede is a blue idiot who wants us to throw crap at him…forget it….let the child cry.

  262. Costas says:

    @Saad

    I have to watch it again mate. I couldn’t see Vida’s hand touch the ball even after seeing the 29 replays that Sky showed. But the ball does change course a bit. Anyway, no point in being mad about the Owen peno. It bothered me a lot, but we still have a great opportunity to clinch it next week.

  263. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    We play well at home but fucking chelsea will throw everything forward at old trafford to win, we must not lose or the title will effectively be handed to chelsea, that’s what a.b.u’s want.

  264. Saad says:

    You want a prize for predicting? Go call John Terry. His bed’s been lonely lately.

  265. swede says:

    @Faddy is a legend

    That would be typical United to leave it to the final day but I do not share your optimism.

  266. Utd4life says:

    @swede..Its good to be a realist mate but you are bordering on the insane..Yes, Chelsea are a good team but with our home form and the home support, we should be able to knock those cunts out at OT..Btw I really do hope that you come on the blog when we beat those chav cunts on May8th..

  267. ridiclus says:

    @swede

    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

  268. Joel says:

    Why is everyone talking about Blackburn as though it is an certainty that we will drop points there? It is an away game but they are not the tough, resilient side that they were under Big Sam.

    A win next weekend will be ideal, a draw will be enough imo. A defeat is unthinkable. The only reason why I’m nervous about the Chelsea game is because I dread to think how the officiating will be like.

  269. Channy says:

    Swede, go piss off and support Chelsea, you must be one of those people that switches between teams depending on the odds at the bookies.

    WE WILL WIN THE 19, NO MATTER WHAT THE FA THROW AT US.

  270. Faddy is a legend says:

    @Swede

    I believe that if we need a win against Blackburn we will get it, however the Chelsea game is the one which i am nervous ahead of because they will be determined as well. We also looked tired which doesn’t reflect greatly on our chances with the game during the week and Chelsea being free

  271. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    People are forgetting obvious differences between last season’s game at home and next week’s.

    Last season, Rooney was injured and playing at about 25% of his best and his slump had just started. This season it is the complete opposite to put it mildly.

    Last season, we came off the disappointing loss to Bayern. That won’t be the case this season.

    Plus, most importantly, we made the mistake last season and paid for it and learnt from it. That means this season we won’t repeat that mistake.

  272. parth_312 says:

    @ahjs, Ando was the most advanced of the all the midfielders… So you would assoicate that with being the man in charge of pingin balls to the wings… you put park in the middle and he isnt someone who will get you super balls to the wings… and there is so much pressure on Carrick to ping balls and when they started pressing him, our moves broke down.. Scholes would have been better… Its a good idea to attack down both wings… but u need 2 midfielders in the middle capable of delivering good balls… Park definitely isnt ttat man… If rooney has dropped in to do that, then tats fine…

    “But then maybe you know more about beating Arsenal than Fergie”…
    no one is claiming that… he is the master… but i feel he got this one wrong.. Dont reduce my argument with absurd statements…. Try to bring something interesting to the table…

  273. Utd4life says:

    Can someone please tell me who’s the ref for our game against Chelsea??If it’s martin”I love terry’s cock” Atkinson then I gotta agree with swede..

  274. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    I don’t feel gutted, like how I always do when we lose. And that’s cos it was quite a rubbish performance from us. Poor in possession, got knocked off the ball so easily. I feel disappointed that we didn’t at least draw, not win.

    What makes me all the more peeved is that the corrupt FA is trying to push chelsea over the line, that 2 goals yesterday make me all the more disgusted now. But nonetheless, since we always knew the FA is against us, we should have all the more tried to win today. Imo, we looked slightly better with Berba on. He links the midfield to the attack.Toothless perfomance. But nvm, next Sun we HAVE to give a very good performance, and I’m confident we can do that. We all know chelsea have the capabilities to cheat their way through to a win even at OT, and so the only thing we can and have to do, is to give a very good perfomance. So i say take the risk, we may have to rest a couple against Schalke, start Berba with maybe Rooney. If we get the job done early, we have to rest a couple more. We’ll do it.

  275. Samuel - united WE stand says:

    some negative shit going on here, as a fan you have to stand by the side, i think chelsea have momentum now and they’ll be confident when coming oldtrafford, we need another united’s masterclass performances because chelsea are a real threat now, a real fucking threat.

    People thinking the title is sewn up were deluded, i always maintained its never over till the titles are handed out and that’s what happened now, its on a knife edge now though and we have to perform starting with shalke 04.

  276. zappa says:

    Trying hard to pull a positive from what we all probably see as a negative; better to lose to arse today than lose next week – which by the way we will not. A win next week will see us with the 19th. C’ mon everybody, we are still in the driving seat and both Arsenal and Chelsea wish they were in our positions.

  277. Costas says:

    Blackburn will also probably be fighting to avoid relegation. Lets not overlook that. But in my opinion, we have attack Chelsea and end it next Sunday. Sit back and we will invite them on to us just like last year.

  278. swede says:

    No-one will be happier if I am wrong in the end but it is all about momentum now and Chelsea have that. United will go into next sundays game knowing they need to avoid a defeat and it is hard to play well under that circumstance.
    Nerves will play a big part and Chelsea beat us at the end of last season and are more than capable of doing that again and I personally feel they will. Even if we draw against Chelsea we still have a lot to do.

  279. ridiclus says:

    Its bad enough lisening to opposing fans, without having to listen to our own fans shiteing on

  280. wayne says:

    @swede don’t give a fuck what you say you are,not a utd fan simple as that, never even seen your fucking handle on here before, if you’re a troll pretending to be a red fucking sad and pathetic,if i saw you in a red shirt i’d rip the fucking thing right of your back,you’re not fit to wear the colours,ran into alot of dickheads but you take the cake fucking obnoxiuos,plastic cunt.

  281. Saad says:

    I just hope we don’t expend too much energy disposing Schalke. Under no circumstance should that game be any more than just a formality.

  282. Scorp says:

    It will all boil down to the officials next week and that is the real disgrace.

  283. swede says:

    It has been the best season for drama and the worst cause of anti-United campaign both on and off the field. Media has really done their bit and this weekend everything went against us. Should United overcome it all and still win the title then they really are the most deserving champions we have ever seen. Not the best side but the most worthy champions.

  284. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    somebody,anybody tell me who’s the ref nxt week. Please.

    but seriously, we shouldn’t be psychologically tweaked over this. A very good performance, and there you go, who cares who’s the ref.

  285. swede says:

    I used to take defeat as bad as some here are doing now. We did not deserve anything from todays game and Fergie played a side that he wanted a 0-0 draw from then the panic set in. Ramsey who was shite for Wales against England scores the winner when Fabregas is in the stands and Anderson who the fans love once again puts in a bad performance.

  286. Scorp says:

    Well talking about momentum, win against Schalke and we get into the finals, that will give us the thrust going into Chelsea game, no doubt about that. Last season we went into the game having lost against Bayern.

  287. swede says:

    Howard Webb should be the ref for such a big clash

  288. Yang says:

    Feel sick; I can understand it is standard post mid week champ-league game performance. Same shit happen again and Barca and Madrid lose league game too.
    So Chelsea game will be title decider hope team pull through; luckily this time two games will hold at home turf.

    It is unlucky lamsey exploit confusion during substitution.

    I just pray win against Chelsea and it will be alright

  289. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    @swede

    I actually don’t think anybody here has said we deserve something out of the game. Most of agreed it was a poor performance, that is if you a literate enough to read.The fact is that you’re here saying we’re going to lose next week and going to give the title away, and you call yourself a United fan?

  290. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    There is no way Howard Webb will referee a United game EVER. He is arguably the fairest referee in the League. That is reason enough why he won’t come anywhere near a United game.

  291. swede says:

    We can all agree it was perhaps the worst weekend in a long time for us United fans. All 4 CL sides lost this weekend so that tells you something. We need to rest the best against Schalke and play those we do not need against Chelsea like Nani who I hope we sell this summer.
    Valencia and Rooney understanding when it comes to crosses has been superb yet Nani preferred for some strange reason.

  292. willierednut says:

    Poor performance and deserved nothing from the game. Two penalties today, maybe the ref bottled our one, because he didn’t give Arsenal one in the first half. Strange tactics from Fergie. We tried to contain Arsenal first half. I suppose they played without pressure and it showed today. We now need two big performance from the lads at home. Just wasn’t our day. We didn’t pass the ball, or cross the ball with any conviction. It’s gone now though and we move on. Keep the faith people.

  293. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Wowie. We need to sell Nani eh? Brilliant brainy stuff here!

  294. swede says:

    @KingOfStretfordEnd

    I see no wrong in seeing things unbiased despite being a fan. Chelsea have the upper hand on us and I actually feel they will play us off the park next Sunday. That leaves a scrap for the title on goal difference and the two games we then have left will not be won with many goals scored.
    Just accept that it is over!

  295. rat1p says:

    lets sell nani,gibbo,berba,wazza,rio sell everybody

  296. zigoo says:

    how important is giggsys miss against newcastle now?i knew something like this would bite us up the ass…its gonna be nerve wracking shit next week…BELIVE!

  297. willierednut says:

    Don’t listen to that wum swede.

  298. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    “It is over”

    That’s fantastic coming from a ‘United’ fan. You’re a mile below Berba, Nani, Gibson,Carrick, O’Shea and Evans bashers. The disgusting fact is that we now have to argue with our ‘own’ fans instead of the oppositions’. Brillaint.

  299. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Sorry for the typo*

  300. swede says:

    I know what I know and I proved it today. I will be here to rub it in next Sunday although I will be totally gutted but you people need to approach future games with a bit more respect.
    This season end will be cruel when we first drop the league title and then lose the CL final against Barca.
    Prepare for more pain!

  301. Fred says:

    “No Fabregas” :D Nice jinxing, Scott – and nice editing too after his replacement scored the winning goal. ;)

    What a shit day.

  302. wayne says:

    how the fuck do chelsea have the upper hand when utd are 3 pts clear and rentboys have to come to ot and win,seriously mate you might think its funny to wind up people after a bad game but you need to look in the mirror because you’re fucking pathetic,please just fuck off

  303. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    You know, I come here for some nice ranting after a poor game, but nope,I would burst a blood vessel reading RoM now. I think i’d be calmer listening to Andy Townsend instead.

  304. Costas says:

    The negative is that away from home we’ve lost all 3 games agaist Chelsea, Arse and Pool. And we’ve drawn against City and Spurs.

    The positive, is that we’ve won the 4 games against these teams at OT. Only Chelsea remain. Like I said in another thread, we can’t allow last year’s heartbreak to happen again.

    Webb won’t be the ref. I bet my house on it.

  305. swede says:

    Andy Townsend and that channels campaign is another reason Chelsea will win it.

  306. swede says:

    We are just bound to sit on that 18th title for some time. That is a curse in itself. We lost title at Rovers last season when Valencia could not score and it could be the same again.

  307. willierednut says:

    Never mind who the ref will be, lets concentrate on the job next week. We have to keep our nerve, no negative thoughts!

  308. pritch the red says:

    @ swede fuck off support utd chelsea cheated their way to the title last year and they are having a good go at doing the same again . I admit this is not the greatest team we have seen now is not the time to start having a go .we should wait till the season is over b 4 we start laying into them if we win nothing their will have to b big changes those wankers from across the pond will have to spend big .Ido not give a shit about champions league i want to win 19 like everybody else we have to make ot that hostile next week that those bastards dont know what has hit them any body bar them or the scousers get behind them now

  309. Dandivine7 says:

    Guys, Its not all gloom and doom, only serves to make this season a Hollywood epic movie type. Looking @ d game, probably Valencia should have started, Park not Ando subbed. Lets not get to the issue of refs today, We all know what they’ve been like, the issue is with Us rising above it REMEMBER during Franco’s reign in Spain, He loved Madrid and did well to help them But Barca ROSE above it all and won more trophies than Madrid. I find it so strange some are already trembling at Chelsea’s visit next week, absolutely unnecessary! This game has no away goals in it just outscore Chelsea and WE WILL! No better opportunity than this to put them on their knees just when they thought it was theirs. Talk about hitting them where it hurts, it will rank alongside that memorable night in Moscow.FEAR NOT, THINK ABOUT IT, knocking the stuffing out of them Ourselves not any other team else. This is the Heritage Of UNITED, ONE THING FOR SURE, ITS OUR YEAR AND WE SHALL NOT BE DENIED. CHEER UP EVERYONE!

  310. wayne says:

    i remember once pounding my brother because he came to a game and was taking the piss,if i was next to that swede cunt right now i’d be up for murder,i just want to rip this cunt apart,type of cunt who’s a asskisser at work and shops his co-workers out to get on in life,cunts who say i told you so make me fucking sick

  311. james21 says:

    @costas
    No the FA Will make sure its Martin ‘Chelsea’ Atkinson. :D

  312. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    Massive game vs chelski next week. Doesn’t fill me with great confidence purely because of all the dodgy decision they get off the officials. 11 vs 14 next week. Will not be happy with a point, need the 3 it will be our hardest game of the season. I get a nasty feeling this season will go to the wire. Win next week its our title, lose next week we’ve blown it. Its that simple.

  313. swede says:

    Sad to see hooligans on here who cannot debate things without sounding like Rooney at West Ham.
    It is fans like you who make me feel that United do not deserve anything this season. I have debated with fans from all clubs and they have been cool and collected.
    Chelsea fans did not milk their double last season and are sadly still the best behaved fans of all.

  314. nani4ever says:

    swede @

    Fuck OFF and go support blackpool with your sinking ship attitude.

  315. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    You can just imagine the picture, can’t you?

    Swede is really a Blue masquerading as a United fan. And he is currently having a very evil grin on his face for playing the United fans on our own turf. He is probably thinking he has all fooled and is probably happy that we playing his game by actually responding to him. That is probably the highest point of his low life and he is content with that.

    Best thing to do is ignore him. That means he does not get his victory and is not happy with his lowlife.

  316. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Chelsea fans did not milk their double last season and are sadly still the best behaved fans of all.

    Guess that officially confirms my point then. :D

  317. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Miss smartalex though. He would’ve really handed it out to this swede guy today. :(

  318. Yang says:

    Ando still too young to be trusted; he cannot tick game yet and often disppear when team defend; no wonder SAF sub him today. Still good prospect tho.

    I don’t think Chelsea will win remain all games they already win 6 games in trot and they already rob Spurs.
    Win against Chelsea wouldn’t equal to win title. Still remain 2 games are need to win.

  319. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    @ swede. Fuck off and die. Never seen you here before take your moral attitudes and stick it where the sun don’t shine. Nothing but a wind up merchant. You’re not a United fan you’re just a cunt, a waste of sperm. How were you conceived? Did your Dad get drunk one night and fuck his mum, 9 months later you popped out. Don’t like what I have to say. Guess what I don’t give a fuck. Why the attack? You said chelski fans best behaved supporters in the land, do me a favour! You haven’t got a clue! This twat must have been born 1992.

  320. swede says:

    I am a diehard fan that attended my first OT game when you lot were in your diapers or not even born.
    You lot will learn more about taking defeat this spring and by the looks of it you need to learn the noble art of losing. I hope you will not bash your missus or kids but take it like proper gentlemen.

  321. Passe says:

    Trolls like swede is why we could do with some moderation on here…

  322. Costas says:

    @willie

    No negative thoughts? FFS, better ask me to stop breathing. :)

    @Balaji

    It does confirm it. ;) Yeah, missing smartalex or Cedars too.

  323. swede says:

    Howard Webb is the ref at the City game now so FA will not send him to Manchester two Sundays in a row.
    I bet Andy Townsend will have completed his ref course by then and will ref the game in a weeks time.
    Maybe Alison Bender will be one of the linesmen as well.

  324. denton davey says:

    Let’s all get real, eh ?

    I’m optimistic but IF TheLads don’t win the EPL title this year then they’ll have blown it – as a group. They win as a team; they lose as a team. The match next Sunday should be electirc – let’s hope that Martin Atkinson is refereeing.

  325. Faddy is a legend says:

    @swede

    Listen mate, we’re all annoyed about the game but winding other united fans up like this isn’t the correct way of showing your annoyance, so i would reckon your welcome to stay on here but please change your tune.

  326. swede says:

    “City win the Cup, United fuck up”

    Fleet Street headlines at the ready.

    “Chomps”

    “United bottle it again”

  327. swede says:

    I can already hear the sound of thousands of english wooden teeth clacking all nervous at OT when Chelsea lead late on and then the ref blows the whistle.
    We have been made a joke worldwide and cocky United fans jinxed our side.

  328. swede says:

    Wikipedia has named this the worst Man United weekend in history!

  329. swede says:

    Righto lads, I am off but wil be back to remind you lot who was right.
    I will be gutted but I simply do not feel we deserve the title this year.

  330. willierednut says:

    That swede is rentboy in sheeps clothing. Attack him lads! Turd puncher!

  331. willierednut says:

    That swede is flogging the bishop. shirt lifter!

  332. wayne says:

    you’re just a fucking idiot mate,thing is we’ll never see you again because utd will win next week and you’ll have to wait another year to come at us at our weakest point,because you’re a coward and won’t debate using the true colours,you hide behind being a utd fan because you can attack pretending to be one of us.
    cunts like you turn everyone into hooligans mate and you’d be wearing wooden teeth if i had half a chance.

  333. Faddy is a legend says:

    @swede

    that’s totally contradictory that, because if we don’t deserve it, the only other team who could would be Chelsea, when you have already suggested in previous posts that they have been shown favouritism by officials. If you’re going to wum, you should at least be consistent

  334. CedarsDevil says:

    swede

    Thank you for providing much needed amusement after a defeat you deluded little piece of shit…

    Supporting United before most of us were born did you? You cannot be older than 15 with a brain of a 5 year old you muppet…

    Take Chelsea and shove them up your ass, one player at a time may I add

  335. parryheid says:

    For me Nani would never start any game for us but would be a sub up our left wing,Evra has been flakey for quite a while now Anderson is a patchy player in our team with some rare exceptions. Raphael as soon as he was fit would have been in at right back immediately and today Fletcher would defo have been in if he tired I would have subbed him with the other twin.That was not our A team out there today and unfortunately that was not our A game.Ach.

  336. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    @ swede. I stopped paying attention as soon as you said diaper. Now fuck off back to yankee land.

  337. CedarsDevil says:

    Furthermore swede, please do not test our intelligence by claiming you are a United fan…

    You have been figured out and will be bashed the fuck out of here you cunt

  338. swede says:

    I was gutted as hell and came in here to vent that and I have been bang out of order towards fellow United fans. I wanna say sorry and I hope you can forgive me.
    Time to be positive and look ahead.
    So sorry!

  339. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    @CedarsDevil

    Listening to Townsend is better than reading the things an idiot called swede writes. Cos at least we know Townsend doesn’t claim to be a United fan.

  340. pritch the red says:

    @ swede are you real or what .Iwill be there next week shouting for utd if anyone in the utd end sees a wanker with a cob on near the end of the game and utd winning we know who it is we are 3 points in front 2 home games and blackburn away ffs if we cant win from that position then we dont deserve to.How many teams would swap places with us let me think now ALL OF THEM

  341. CedarsDevil says:

    LOL mate, that must be painful as well!

    swede

    Do piss off you fake cunt

  342. CedarsDevil says:

    LOL was for KingOfStretfordEnd

  343. swede says:

    Please forgive me or else I will top myself now!

  344. willierednut says:

    Swede off! You picked the wrong blog, to act a cunt. Now, shut your trap rentboy.

  345. willierednut says:

    Where’s the Goat? He’d love pummeling this troll.

  346. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Do any of you guys know hacking? Would be funny as hell to hack into swede’s IP and prove him for what he really is. Not that further proof is required but still.

    We need some way to ban IP’s on here like most forums have, I feel and we do need some of the senior ROM members like willie, Costas, Cedars, Kings, King Eric, smartalex (when he is back) etc. to be given the power to moderate and delete cunts like swede.

    However, that would not allow us to have the amusement of seeing swede’s ass being handed to him after quite a painful loss. So, I am guessing we need to decide on which is the lesser of two evils.

  347. Cyril Sneer says:

    It wouldn’t be United if we didn’t make it hard for ourselves. We might have dipped into our savings a bit but we’ll still win it in the end. We’ll probably win it by a single point and then the chavs can feel as gutted as we were last season.

  348. CedarsDevil says:

    swede

    Topping yourself you say? I would suggest a 16 inch red and white dildo so it may clean all the blue shit out of your system you fake cunt…..

    Thought you had us fooled? You deluded prick…

    Balaji Sivaraman

    No need to ban cunts like him mate, such idiots do provide us with amusement

  349. wayne says:

    @swede theres a website that talks people through killing themsevles want the address?,i hear its very good step by step instructions.

  350. CedarsDevil says:

    wayne

    LOL……….. Either that or you can give him my address buddy….. Mind you, your suggestion might be much less painful

  351. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    oh my gosh, we’re having some serious entertainment here with swede. its making me laugh.

  352. CedarsDevil says:

    Cyril Sneer

    I said something along those lines on the other thread mate and I fully agree with you….. The Chelsea game HAD to have some sort of significance and justice will be done

  353. CedarsDevil says:

    KingOfStretfordEnd

    Pity I was not on here earlier buddy, would have squashed the little piece of shit like the bug he is…. Scum of the earth springs to mind

  354. willierednut says:

    Give him the address! Help him on his way!!!

  355. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    @CedarsDevil

    Yup he was on top gear when it was here. I tried to squash it, failed. Was so peeved I decided Townsend was a better temporary option. Now that you’re here, you do your thing mate.

  356. wayne says:

    its a new fad in japan,how to make suicide a breeze just using regular household chemicals.
    have fun swede

  357. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    @wayne

    hilarious stuff, you sure know how to give it back.

  358. CedarsDevil says:

    Seems he has fucked off…….. Probably getting his blue skirt ironed and ready for his big night out…

    Just make sure you put on slippery lipstick on so them dicks will slide right through into your throat you prick

  359. Cyril Sneer says:

    @ Cedars – Agreed, some games just seem to generate more significance for us. The league could be decided against Chelsea but typical United would be for it to come down to the last day of the season. Also, the Champions League could be a chance to get revenge on Barca and put the ‘best team in the world’ in their place or if Real get through then it’s Fergie Vs Mourinho (our potential next coach?) and Ronaldo Vs his old club etc. I just hope Lady Destiny is a United supporter!

  360. willierednut says:

    Cedars – He’s died on the vine mate lol. I wonder about trolls coming on to RoM. They haven’t got a prayer on here ffs!

  361. CedarsDevil says:

    Willie – So true, we simply murder them… One of the reasons I miss my buddy smartalex (Who did appear on today) We team up well on them cunts.

    Cyril Sneer

    Lady Destiny is a devil who wears red mate

  362. CedarsDevil says:

    Just sneaked back in to make sure the garbage has gone, including swede and captaink9 aka fuck face

    Now I can have a peaceful sleep

  363. JonyB says:

    Its been such a frustrating season for any of the “big” clubs, especially ARSEnal!!!!….. They must be kicking themselves…. Even Man City have stood a chance…. what other season would you expect Chav$ki to lose 7 games and United only win 5 games away from Home….. As a united fan at least we have kept our incredible home form going despite our obvious frailties and shortcomings!! Although the table doesn’t lie, neither do the stats…..
    Away
    Team W D L F A GD PTS
    1 Man Utd 5 9 4 28 24 +4 24

    1. out of the 16 clubs above the bottom 4 Unted have only won 2 games away from home with Blacburn next Away from home… Thats Dreadful…..
    2.If you ignore the wigan and WEst ham games – there have been just 16 Goals in 16 games at 1.0 goals per game (inc. four nil-nil draws) which demonstrates our poor creativity from midfield….
    3.we have dopped 11 points from winning poistions in the last 10mins (Fulham, Everton, Birmingham, Chelsea, west Brom(H) of a game and three times had to come down from 2-0 down (Villa, Blackpool & West Ham)…..which shows we’re unable to control games, are vunerable away from home and are often having to chase games…..
    4. If you remove Nani from the Picture Our midfield has only Scored 10 Goals HOME & AWAY ALL SEASON!!… thats just telling and too reliant on 1 player and the forwards……..

    Arsenal deserve their win……
    United need to address the quality of the midfield…….
    The differnece between United and the other teams has been Ferguson’s incredible ability to wring out results from this squad…… For me this has been Ferguson’s season and greatest challenge and triumph… Can he continue performing these feats………….

  364. bbq bod says:

    my tuppence worth. I watched the 1st half o fthe match and it looked like we had the wrong tactics with Arse dominating the play.
    Looked to me like we were gonna lose.

    It would be so fucking un just if that Chelski scum knick this title of us now with us having the extra games in the champs league and them Russian cuntz paying off the linesmen. Same fucking thing happened last season with us still in the champs league with the extra games and shit. IF we do fuck up the prem then please god almighty let us win the champs league.

    Fuck CHelski scum and fuck Arsenal and fuck the rest of the fuckers. Fuck the FA. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck.

  365. Tacklr says:

    Wayne suspended? The ref knew that Manchester couldn’t do it against Chel$ea without Wayne and Vidic, so he did a favour here… He and his linesman saw Vidic doing a VDS and let him alone.

    Everybody here should also thank Foy. He added some real experience in United midfield. He blocked few dangerous Wilshere and Ramsey moves.
