    cmon lads

  2. Ash says:

    Good to see chicho starting.Hope to see king in action later in the match.
    CMONN UNITED

  3. rat1p says:

    rafael again on the bench
    the aftermath of his concussion or what the hell is going on?

  4. Ash says:

    @RAT1P
    I think its because of the injury to rio.I dont think fergie fancies playing both smalling and rafael together as both are not that much experienced but dissapointed to see rafael in the bench.He along with chicho and smalling have been our breakthrough players this season.

  5. jagpal says:

    what s wrong with the boss…O(who )Shea starting ahead of rafael nd fletcher in front…the right wing doesnot exist…

  6. dazbomber says:

    Come on you red shirted hero’s

  7. Phillo says:

    Think Fergie prefers O Shea at full back to protect Smalling more

  8. North Stand Tier 2 says:

    Seriously why is Raf on the bench again? JOS always gives the ball away, its irritating!

  9. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Surprised to see Scholes playing this one. I would’ve guessed SAF would’ve rested him for this game to have him ready for the rent boys and the scousers. This means Scholes would most probably not play either one of those games which I find really surprising.

    And Owen not on the bench is really disappointing. Really hope he becomes fit sooner rather than later and starts making an impact.

  10. Ryandunny says:

    Pitch looks fucked up with the relay only in some areas

    Hopefully that won’t hamper the lads too much!

  11. smartalex says:

    Come on United!

  12. dela says:

    King on the bench? Interesting…

  13. Konjour says:

    Does anyone have a direct link to the match..please.

  14. rat1p says:

    ash
    could be(offtopic)would have loved to see rafa against chelsea and at the moment oshea is most likely to feature against them

    anyway lets concetrate on our game today hope to see one of our midfileders get on the scoresheet for us

  15. shakshamboo says:

    hpefully we can score 3 without reply and see King in action in the second half

  16. BerbaGod says:

    Great to see King on the bench.. Him, Berba and Gibson on, later in the game?

  17. Xyth says:

    Come oooooooooon lads. Please don’t do a stinker like the one in Wolverhampton!!!!!!

  18. Colbert says:

    Glad to see Javier starting. I just pray that Valencia returns as soon as possible. Our midfield with the exception of Nani and sometimes Giggs & Scholes, is piss poor at the moment. We really need Valencia’s power and energy. I know that he’s a winger but I think his return will help the central midfielders too. They will have more passing options and he will help out a lot defensively.

  19. SirAlex'sSon says:

    Lets get an early goal please.

  20. Stephen says:

    Fergie really needs to give Wes a run, O’Shea at right back is never inspiring and bar Rafa he is certainly our best option.

  21. parryheid says:

    Been waiting for this particular Fortnight to kick off.Run in to the 19th.Title starts today and we Will perform,So lets ease in to it with a couple of first half goals please lads allow me to relax.Go get em United.

  22. Stephen says:

    Also with our midfield so thin why not give Pogba a chance even from the bench?

  23. RJ says:

    I hope King gets a run out!

  24. SirAlex'sSon says:

    Off to see the match. Lets get the 3 points in the bag. Hope to come back here still cheerful. Come on you fucking Reds!!!

  25. Raizzen says:

    NST2

    Maybe its because we’ve got another important match and Rafael might just be useful to torment Chelsea’s flank ?

    Thats a good bet dont u think ? With games like Wigan you can’t never be too sure what kind of knocks and falls would befallen on our players.

  26. willierednut says:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/feb/26/bradford-tottenham-hotspur

    Of topic, Dean Richards passed away. He scored Spurs first goal, in the famous 5 3 game, 2001. RIP

  27. Stephen says:

    Spot on Willie.

  28. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Am I the only one who thinks that that Andy Townsend looks like a kiddie fiddler. I don’t mean a circus act where he dresses up like the lead guitarist from ACDC but with more of a hoe down/ Dolly Parton twist. I mean someone who drives around in an over powered white BMW saloon with a dirty grin on his face and a 12 year old in the passenger seat.

  29. tryder91 says:

    Why the fuck is there no rafael or berbatov. Fine.. play hernandez, i agree with that, but dont start rooney! Apart from the overhead kick he’s been absolute shit. Imagine being berba, top scorer, our best player of the season probably and hes on the bench again. I would be pissed. But then again, im not Fergie so i’m probably wrong lol

  30. Rai says:

    RIP Richards

  31. smartalex says:

    Well, I hadn’t noticed that about townsend until you mentioned it goat. Let’s have him euthanased, just in case.

  32. Rai says:

    @ Goat

    Ain’t sure about the kiddy fiddler…but I used to laugh when
    Parry used to rip him about his beak!!!

  33. bchilds says:

    Disappointed Berba isn’t starting but hopefully he’s having a well earned break before taking it out on Chelski and Liverpool!

  34. bchilds says:

    Really sad news on Richards, I knew he retired due to illness. Didn’t realise he was seriously ill.

  35. Konjour says:

    @radzio..thanks a lot,mate..but what is with the advert box that is fixed onto the stream page?

  36. CedarsDevil says:

    Goat

    How are you mate? Townsend is a fucking joke of a pundit, gets my blood boiling every time I watch him, what an idiot. To think he gets paid to spout shit is laughable!

    Right I am off to down the beers and enjoy the game, catch you reds after the match……

    C’MON UNITED

  37. Costas says:

    Ryan is right about the pitch. I just hope it doesn’t cause any more injuries for us.

  38. CedarsDevil says:

    Just heard about Dean Richards as well Willie………… May he rest in peace…..

  39. smartalex says:

    If the pitch is not 100 %, that explains (to me ) no Berbatov or Giggs.

  40. Costas says:

    Come on United!

  41. Manchuchu says:

    Make us proud, chicharito !!

  42. smartalex says:

    RIP Dean Richards.

  43. willierednut says:

    36 years old, far too young. Back to United. Come on lads, no messing about today.

  44. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Also heard that Wigan have relayed their pitch just in time for this match so expect it to lift. Lets hope there arent any injuries, we dont need that.

  45. tryder91 says:

    anybody got a decent link :)

  46. Dicko says:

    Dean Richards – 36. Poor fucker. RIP

    Come on United, no fuck ups now – let’s get the four point advantage back in place.

  47. Ryandunny says:

    Haven’t been so nervous for a game against Wigan since the final day at 08..

  48. Xyth says:

    Does anybody have an Andy Townsend free link otherwise I’ll have to stick with my Chinese friends!

  49. smartalex says:

    Come on United!!

  50. NomadBaku says:

    PS: of course if you have Veetle installed..

  51. Ryandunny says:

    Looks like fletch on the right…. which for me is great news!

  52. Ryandunny says:

    Fucking hell Rooney calm down!

  53. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    People looking for Sopcast streams, please look no further than the above link.

    Two streams in particular are awesome – RUS NTV+ Football [RU] and Bestsportslive1. Both are non-english streams but with HD quality and no lag whatsoever. Anyways, who wants to listen to cunts like Townsend anyway. It is better to listen to commentary you don’t understand than to listen to cunts in British Football commentary.

  54. Manchuchu says:

    Break his skull, roo

  55. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    VDS you god

  56. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    Chico first of a hattrick

  57. thedonmassawe says:

    Chichariiiiiiiiiito!

  58. TonyBee says:

    fuck me they made that on look easy

  59. Manchuchu says:

    PEA!!!

  60. NomadBaku says:

    GOAAAAAAAL !!!

  61. smartalex says:

    the first time Paul Scholes has space, to Nani, to rooney, to nani, to chicharito – goal.

  62. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Finally looked like an attack that we are capable off. Great combination between Rooney and Nani and cool finish from Chicarito.

    Also, Fuck you VDS! How the fuck are we going to replace you?

  63. North Stand Tier 2 says:

    Brilliant run from Chicho! He attacks the front post better than any other strikers in the league, it will always get you simple goals like that one.

  64. Mahesh says:

    VDS is MOTM already! My god, SAF convince him not to retire!

  65. 20legend says:

    With deffending like this we`ll need atleast two more goals.
    nvm, VDS takes it all

  66. Mahesh says:

    Yep 20legend, we need 2 more here for sure…

  67. Toby says:

    Hello my name is Michael Carrick. I’m just going to let all the Wigan players run past me, making me more suited to a league 2.

    FFS he is bad this season. Has he even touched the ball this game?

  68. sean says:

    john o’shea is the best player in the world

  69. Manchuchu says:

    Fletcher: Bet you 10 bucks I’ll suck
    Carrick: Bet you ill suck more..
    O Shea: Hey yooooou guys…

  70. North Stand Tier 2 says:

    That would have been such a sick goal! Great strike from Nani!

  71. Ryandunny says:

    Nani is getting better and better…
    and I am the only one who thinks Carrick is doing ok? ha

  72. theboogeyman says:

    Ryandunny- I’m with you, he’s doing decently!

  73. Ryandunny says:

    theboogeyman

    Phew thought I was the only one… I like the old Scholes Carrick partnership… they suit each other well!

  74. 20legend says:

    Scholes, welcome to the dark side

  75. Tomo1982 says:

    Strange that we have effectively 3 full backs on the bench… could argue that Brown is a centre half and Fabio could be played out on the wing, but they’ve all played the vast majority of games as full backs.

  76. King Eric says:

    This Carrick bashing is getting fucking tedious. Arent watching the game but according to Scott and others he is doing well. Is it fashionable to bash him REGARDLESS of how he plays?

  77. Rollins says:

    We really do need another goal here, not too comfortable watching this.

  78. thedonmassawe says:

    Nani should pass more

  79. Dicko says:

    Rooney’s been gash thus far has to be said

  80. das says:

    that fat c*nt rooney keeps losing the ball. its as though he’s purposely doing it, as ive never seen a touch as bad as his

  81. slim says:

    Starting to think Rooneys a primadonna. Lord have mercy, step it up boy

  82. Ryandunny says:

    King Eric

    Too right you are.. I’ll admit I have been quick to jump on Carrick’s case when he’s had a bad game… but that doesn’t mean I won’t praise him when he is playing well…. I was talking earlier about what had happened to the scholes carrick partnership and I think your seeing the benefits of it today….

    Carrick with Scholes or Anderson in a two man midfield has worked so far this season and with Scholes in previous seasons.

  83. mbongo says:

    we need another goal or two more…. I am nervous.
    Donmassawe mambo vipi?

  84. Costas says:

    Other than the assist, Nani hasn’t been a lot better than Rooney I have to say. Doesn’t pass when he should.

  85. jespermoses says:

    Carrick doing alright for once….Rooney back to his woeful self.John O’shea sloppy and Smalling looks a bit twitchy.

    Need another goal

  86. united.george says:

    the viva ronaldo seems to be sung a bit much this season….need to sing for Nani/Berba/Chicha more.

    rooney is getting pretty close to a yellow card. Needs to calm down. we cannot afford to have him lost for the next two games…..

  87. Neil says:

    Not pleased to see Rooney cursing at Fergie. Wouldn’t be shocked if they sold him this summer but Fergie seems to believe in him.

  88. nani4ever says:

    nani is the man, our best player, just needs to play the extra pass every now an then to be the best player in the world

  89. willierednut says:

    Maybe a bit lucky to be in front. I’d consider taking Rooney off. He’s seems more interested in fighting, than playing football. Hernandez took his goal well. The lads alive, every time the ball goes in the box. Vidic has been immense. One thing I’ll say, when we play with any tempo, wigan can’t cope with us. Need the second goal.

  90. Xyth says:

    Apart from the goal, our performance is rubbish. Lads need to wake up. We could have been chasing this game! Nani, again for every positive move that he makes, he has 3-4 other frustrating selfish ones.

    Why do we keep playing us in trouble by passing the ball backward towards our keeper so much. One day this will cost us dear.

    I hope the hairdryer is at full speed now!!!!!

  91. NomadBaku says:

    @thedonmassawe
    totally agree with you. that’s why fletcher doesn’t even have a chance to prove himself. almost every attack is made on the left wing, where nani makes 1 assist, 1 shot at crossbar, and 2 bad decisions to shoot instead of passing

  92. Ryandunny says:

    Fecking stream went in the middle of first half… so I switched to another one which was in spanish… but the picture started to stall but the commentary was still there… so for the last ten minutes I listened to the game…in spanish :S ha

  93. Mickjk says:

    What is with Rooney? He’s utter muck these days! There’s times I’m wishing we’d take our time up front and other times I’d wish the midfield would hurry the feck up. Lets hope we can go out for a nice comfortable second with another goal or two. Something positive to take into our next fixture.

  94. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Carrick has been fine this game. In fact, our overall performance so far has been much better compared to recent away games. We are keeping the ball better, finding more attacking outlets, making very good off-the-ball runs and creating more chances because of that.

    thedonmassawe, Yeah, Nani should pass more. But whenever he is anywhere near the goal, he becomes a one-way horse, the only thing on his mind is goal. Anyways, I cannot complain much since that is his only flaw. But if he fixes that, then it will be frightening to see the kind of player he will become.

    Also, Smalling’s composure and reading the game is frightening at this age. He really shouldn’t have that kind of vision at this age. Amazing to think of what he will become if he goes on at this rate.

  95. parryheid says:

    With the exception of Rooney The rest of the team have turned up Two top stops by Edwin

  96. keano says:

    The fact that i am a nervous wreck watching the match today goes to sow that we are well below par. This is Wigan ffs. Whilst not expecting them to roll over, I don’t expct them to be all over us either. Lucky we have VDS at the moment

  97. mattbw7 says:

    Still cant get a stream to work, had a chance of a ticket but it was coporate at £120 and I wasn’t paying that!!!

  98. smartalex says:

    Townsend is the most ABU commentator in history.

    The Rooney elbow was clearly a last moment split second reflex that neither player felt aggrieved by.

  99. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    mattbw7, Just install Sopcast and use any of the streams I mentioned above. Amazing HD-quality streams with only minus being they are non-english.

  100. CedarsDevil says:

    We have been shit, our midfield is shit, VDS is too old and SHIT…… Nani is wasteful and is SHIT..

    If you agree with any of the above then you are the most deluded human being alive!

    C’MON UNITED another 45 and the job is done

  101. Colbert says:

    Have to wonder what the fuck Rooney is doing. Why elbow someone entirely unmotivated so early in the match? Bizarre. Should have been sent off, and anyone else would have been. England darlings like him, Lampard & Gerrard routinely get away with stuff like that.

  102. Ryandunny says:

    Last season we used to be able to punt the ball to Rooney and even if he had the whole defense on him he would keep the ball and spray it Nani or Valencia and launch a attack before getting in the box and finishing it off….

    Now he can’t even control it? Fair play he’s still working hard and he had a part to play in our goal and Nani’s shot off the post but wtf is wrong with him?

  103. willierednut says:

    Nani’s been more productive than rooney Costas. Still frustrating, I’ll agree, but he seems to be the only threat at times.

  104. Mahesh says:

    Wayne Rooney is infuriating – If that elbow was against a United player I would have called for a red, so there’s not reason why it wouldn’t have been reasonable if Rooney had been sent off! and for WHAT!! He’s showing terrible touch, he can’t beat ONE man, I don’t know what’s wrong with this fella. Getting him off and Berbatov on might be a good idea, and give Chicho more support.

  105. Xyth says:

    There they go again, ABU media cunts led by Townsend calling for Rooney to be baned for that clash with McCarthy!

    @Ryandunny You are better of with Spanish commentary than listening to these ABU cunts.

  106. thedonmassawe says:

    @mattbw7 try veetle too its good. here is the link i’m using
    http://www.veetle.com/index.php/widget#A2F7A27A9C62206F0B403D10C8726428/true/default

  107. smartalex says:

    For those that are unable to watch, it is a good game. Wigan are typically adventurous, and are our tactics are working well. No United player had a bad first half, in fact the ‘away’ season looks a lot better, all of a sudden.

    Carrick has been tremendous, only bettered by Van der Sar, who is a brick wall / genius.

    For those who thought that Wigan shouldn’t make Edwin work, try researching the opposition before we play them.

  108. Rollins says:

    Did i just see gibson signing an autograph?

  109. UNITED4life says:

    @CedarsDevils

    are you in denying the fact that our Cmidfield is shit? it is utter shit man!

  110. willierednut says:

    Carrick has been better, than some have said. Still needs to move the ball quicker, at times.

  111. thedonmassawe says:

    Rooney needs to be humbled, he really should be benched for a few games if he keeps being so average

  112. Clem says:

    VDS keeping us in the game so far. Rooney might get banned for 3 games for that elbow on McCarthy. He was lucky to stay on the pitch. Stupid and needless. I think this is the type of game where Berba could benefit/ Hopefully we see him soon

  113. gerkeo says:

    obvious to everyone rooney is not interested, hes failing to pass the ball 10 yards, hes looking nailed on only to get a red card today

  114. nani4ever says:

    rooney’s decline is because he not taking on is defender when he has the ball, and he’s not being aggressive enough in front of goal and most importantly he seems to have forget how to use is left foot he’s always trying to get the ball on is right an always so predictable.

  115. mattbw7 says:

    For the donmassawe,what am i doing worng i downloaded but cant get it to work

  116. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @UNITED4life, We all know that the centre midfield has its problems. But there is no need to highlight it after every match. Especially this one where we are performing better than past away games. It gets really boring when the same complaints are levelled after each game.

    Until SAF decides to do something in the summer, this is the midfield you are stuck with unfortunately, whatever your opinion on the matter.

  117. TonyBee says:

    the way VDS is playing….seems he wants to retire as a champion…..

  118. mattbw7 says:

    justs says channel is disabled, like most i guess

  119. stretfordend_ryda says:

    any more live streams??? all mine have gone off

  120. gerkeo says:

    somebody slap obertan and bebe and tell them there is a match on, too busy looking at fookin phones

  121. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Difference between our seniors and the rest – Shot of Bebe, Giggs and Obertan. Giggs has both eyes fixated on the pitch at every moment. Bebe is looking down on his mobile and texting. Obertan is switching songs on his Ipod or Mobile (whatever that is).

    Now you understand why Giggs is still frightening at 37 and why Bebe and Obertan are nowhere near that level at their age.

  122. ibrza says:

    anyone else see BeBe texting on the bench? bad

  123. Dicko says:

    Classic shot of Obertan, Bebe and Giggs in stands. Giggs all eyes on match concentrated. Obertan massive footballers’ cans on his ears playing with iPhone. Bebe gormless expression on face playing with iPhone.

    Tells you all you need to know….

  124. Dicko says:

    @Balaji – great minds…you obviously type quicker than me!

  125. Clem says:

    lol, I saw that. Obertan sat there with his fucking Dr Dre headphones not even interested. I hope we accept an audacious 100k bid from Barnsley or someone shite. Do one Obertan!

  126. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Haha I thought only CedarsDevil and myself were the only anti-townsend ones. Ah whatever. When I wake up tomorrow I hope with VDS becomes 30 again, or he decides he needs to go on with us for another 10 more years.

    We’ll never have a more natural goalscorer than Chicharito. And whatever idiotic decision Nani makes I don’t think i’ll get angry any more, looking at how productive he’s been.

    Let’s get one more fellas.

  127. thedonmassawe says:

    @mattbw7 sorry i wasn’t much help bud! glad you found something though

  128. TonyBee says:

    Nnai seems out of it…..is he struggling with a knock?…methinks Berba will be on soon

  129. smartalex says:

    Come on United!!!

  130. thedonmassawe says:

    Free kicks are not Nani’s forte.

  131. Dicko says:

    Nani’s free kick effort would have scored two points on that ground on another weekend….

  132. mattbw7 says:

    Cheers thedonmassawe sorted now thanks for tryin to help me out

    As for Obertan and Bebe texting etc, I can’t believe Bebe would know a football if hit straight in the fucking face

  133. TonyBee says:

    is it me or are the Wiganites trying to kick lumps out of us…..

  134. mattbw7 says:

    Cheeky pie eating cunts and after we gave em cleverly for a season

  135. Deftones says:

    @ mattbw7 thanx for the stream.stop start viewing but happy nonetheless!

  136. Dicko says:

    Clattenburg is such a cock. Doesn’t book Caldwell for dangerous tackling then books chicha for blocking a free kick.

  137. King Eric says:

    Yeah Bebe was the only player wearing the massive ear phones out in Marseille. We aren’t Chelsea or fucking City. Disgusting.

  138. TonyBee says:

    little Pea ………….

  139. Rai says:

    Chico!!!

  140. Clem says:

    CHICHARITOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  141. thedonmassawe says:

    Chica!!!!!!!!!!!!

  142. TonyBee says:

    take that you fucking wankers…..

  143. gerkeo says:

    nice one rooney, well set up

  144. Dicko says:

    Categorically the best bargain of the past 12 months. Viva Chicharo!

  145. smartalex says:

    Wayne Rooney’s calm control and instant search for Hernandez gives him time to place it past the keeper. Beautiful interaction again.

  146. Deftones says:

    Hmm a little pea hatrick maybe????

  147. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    You can see why SAF would pick Rooney and Chicarito in the same team. Their combination seems to be working well when it clicks.

    Good direct goal by us which kills off the game. Now, I can breathe easy for the next 20 mins.

  148. mattbw7 says:

    why hasnt clattenburg booked hernandez and sent him off for totally pissing him off for scoring a 2nd

  149. nani4ever says:

    chica + rooney the rest of the season no more berbatov!!! horay!!!!!!!

  150. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    I’m very sure that Chicharito is the best natural goalscorer in the premier league. A first class finisher.

  151. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Dicko, Well, that is questionable isn’t it? Would you say the best bargain is Chicarito or Smalling? :P

    Anyways, both of them once again prove why SAF is the best there is at what he does.

  152. leetguy1101 says:

    I can breathe now with that scoreline.

  153. parryheid says:

    Great play lads now I can relax a bit.Onwards and Upwards United.

  154. gerkeo says:

    clattenberg has let a lot go for both sides tbh

  155. 20legend says:

    Chicharito have now scored 9 goals on 13 finishes this season

  156. mattbw7 says:

    Honestly Parrheid given our propensity to shoot ourselves in both feet i think we need another!!!

  157. Mickjk says:

    Why sub the guy who’s 15 mins to grab
    his hat trick instead of the considerably less productive strike partner. Great assist though. But how long is fergie gonna continue allowing him to try and play into form at the behest of strikers who seemingly score each time they play.

  158. Manchuchu says:

    No hattrick for Pea. SAF must be racist. Lol.

  159. mattbw7 says:

    I was avin a laugh re clattenberg gerkeo

  160. smartalex says:

    Dimitar Berbatov loves Manchester United.

  161. thedonmassawe says:

    about time!

  162. TonyBee says:

    3-zip…good…. fuck em

  163. nani4ever says:

    ok now sub off rooney an bring on king, the game is over

  164. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Yes! I got it right- Fabio. Even before I looked at the shirt!

  165. Clem says:

    Berba really unselfish there. Could have taken his own total up, but chose to play Rooney in. Lets get another lads!

  166. mattbw7 says:

    Two things re hernandez getting subbed, its keeps him keen plus Berba needs game time not a time for doing players favours.

    Great 3rd goal

  167. thedonmassawe says:

    Yesss! Fabio on the wing! I wanna see this!

  168. smartalex says:

    He has really deserved that goal, Wayne has played well, and worked hard.

  169. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Gibson is shit, isn’t he? Why don’t we sell him off in the summer?

    Finally, we get to see a good performance from our lads and it has come at the right time of the season. Not that this one hasn’t been without its minor flaws, but then what performance hasn’t.

    If we can take the confidence from this one and hand some to the rent boys and the scousers, I would be a happy person.

  170. Clem says:

    Annnnnd its 4!

  171. 20legend says:

    Thinks some players have something to learn from Berbs attitude.
    Manchester United>personal glory

  172. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Oooh yea! First goal for Fabio. Love the boy.

  173. thedonmassawe says:

    Fabiooooooooo! Good on ya kid!

  174. Mickjk says:

    Happy days the best way to look the fool but still I’m finding it hard to gain affection for him for some reason.

  175. smartalex says:

    Great cross from Darren Fletcher, comfortably finished by Fabio.
    The last ten minutes of the game is always hard for the weaker team.
    Come on United!

  176. Mickjk says:

    Fuckin yes!!!! Get in there fabio you beauty!!!!

  177. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    And, Fabio gets his first (I think). Great cross from Fletch who seems to be really finding his feet recently.

    So, yeah, as I said, that should shut some people up after the uproar in the immediate aftermath of the Marseille performance. However, Wigan has always been a happy hunting ground for us, so there is no need to get carried away.

    But if that doesn’t get the lads geed up for the most important week of the season, then nothing will.

  178. smartalex says:

    4 goals (so far), 4 points clear, come on United! Home and away the best team in the Premiership.

  179. mattbw7 says:

    Good performance coming off a european away, Wigan gave us a bit of stick which was dissapointing as they played a bit earlier, 1s defeat in 4 games for them so its not as if they where in a bad run of form, are you watching you arsenal twats

  180. Ryandunny says:

    Brilliant day….
    Carrick was excellent I thought
    Gibson played well when he came on
    Delighted for Fabio
    Hernandez great again
    Nani dangerous as ever
    Berbatov good assist
    Scholes pass master
    Vidic and Smalling brilliant
    O Shea sometimes wasteful but solid as always
    Fletcher same
    Van Der Sar earned his money today

  181. nani4ever says:

    gibson is still shit, 20legend@ not sacrifice by berbatov, he as been absoloute garbage away from home

  182. parryheid says:

    Mathew7.

    Well we got one HeHe.

  183. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Honestly. I was gonna say this when we were 1-0 up but didn’t want to jinx anything. To those who were saying our performance is poor and we were lucky to go a goal up,I have no idea what game you were watching. I thought it was a good performance, away from home, that too after an away Champions League game.

  184. 20legend says:

    Berbatov must be the laziest footballer ever, can bother to score himself so he just passes the ball further to Rooney, handing the dirty work over to him

  185. smartalex says:

    Well done United!

  186. nani4ever says:

    chica + rooney the rest of the season, or rooney alone in a 4-5-1

  187. willierednut says:

    Not unlucky 13, then? Great result, but don’t forget VDS two saves early on, in the game. On to the bridge now.

  188. Costas says:

    That’s more like it lads. First away win in the EPL by more than a one goal margin in 11 months.

    Not a good day if you are an O’Shea, Gibson or Carrick hater I am afraid.

  189. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    If the so-called worst United team in history is Top of the League in March 4 points clear, has the best home and away record in the League, has the most no. of goals, has the 3rd best defense in the league and has the best goal difference, I would like to see what happens when we add to it and these players mature and we become one of the best United teams in history. Frightening really. Makes me a happy person when I look ahead to next season no matter what happens in this one.

  190. Kings says:

    Always great to see us smash teams. Great 3 points. Roll on Tuesday. If we can get 6 points from the next two games, then we have a great chance of bringing the trophy back to it’s rightful owners. Arsenal still have to go to Spurs.

  191. thedonmassawe says:

    Not a full Berbagasm but its better than none at all

  192. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Fabio’s trying hard not to break into a grin. Lol.

    @nani4eva

    I’m flabbergasted at your opinions mate.

  193. Costas says:

    Nice to have 3 strikers on good form. Fergie can rotate now. Expecting Berbatov to start at the Bridge.

  194. Costas says:

    @thedonmassawe

    We will take what we can mate. :) Haven’t had a full Berbagasm since Blackpool.

  195. BEN says:

    @ NANI4EVER r u stupid

  196. King Eric says:

    utd4life – Yeah pal lets drop Berbatov altogether. Your comments are amusing to say the least. You spent all last season bemoaning the Bulgarian now its Gibbo. The lad in his last couple of appearences has delivered some fucking good defence splitting balls. All you do is fucking moan mate.

  197. TonyBee says:

    kingof Stretford end…
    you always get some know all plums on here on match day….according to various posts on here today every fucker in a red shirt has been shit……
    some people have been playing championship manager too much i think…

  198. dela says:

    @Costas
    Couldn’t agree more. I am finally beginning to understand why Fergie never lost faith in Gibson.

  199. orez says:

    Decent away performance Chicharito delivers again. It could have been different if VDS didn’t make those crucial saves. We are four up and the next two games are super crucial. I thought that our overall performance was much better, but Wigan seemed not to be in game at all. Good passing is nice but that’s not the way to play against us. All around pressing is what hurts us.

    Great win!!!

  200. mattbw7 says:

    Would have thought the chavs would have played a game today they’ll have had more rest than us!!!

  201. Ryandunny says:

    I am beaming… we have been waiting for this day for so long… hopefully this is us clicking into top gear for Chelsea and Liverpool.

    Michael Carrick keep it up! I thought he played really well today!

  202. thedonmassawe says:

    @Costas

    Exactly my thoughts!

  203. mattbw7 says:

    Ah just found out the should have been playing brum, fuck

  204. King Eric says:

    sorry not utd4life but nani4ever. Although probably the same person. You are boring son. Saying Berba shit away from home. Yeah mate because all the team have been top drawer away from home.

  205. TonyBee says:

    king eric…you get at them mate….irritants…. think they know the game ….jeez

  206. thedonmassawe says:

    Make no mistake though, The Berbanator will BE BACK!

  207. dela says:

    @nani4ever

    Which game were you watching?

  208. 20legend says:

    @nani4eva
    It would have been a much easier score than his away goals against Birmingham and Blackpool.
    Home or away doesnt mather when the berbaclause is handing out presents m8

  209. King Eric says:

    TonyBee – Alright fella, hows it going? I have forgotten more about football than some people will ever know about the game.

  210. Utd4life says:

    Chico for 7mil..gotta be the buy of the season..terrific finishing from the lad..Roll on tuesday..GGMU!!!!

  211. TheRadLegion says:

    Darren Gibson has been improving the past 2 games. Yes, he isn’t that “young” anymore but I think if he works his socks off he may have a chance. He shows glimpses of a well executed pass now and then. I did read an article saying he’s no Scholes successor and I have to agree but I think if he improves his game, he can be depended to make things happen.

  212. BerbaGod says:

    nani4ever
    you are a cunt

  213. CedarsDevil says:

    Bloody over the moon with the win………..

    Now fellow reds, can we please answer fucking twat head Townsend who asks how on earth that Rooney was not sent off????? Speaking of his elbow on shit face

  214. theboogeyman says:

    Wow, nani4ever is a really desperate troll. Fuck off mate.

  215. TonyBee says:

    fucking hell BERBAGOD …Dont beat about the bush mate….tell it as it is…!! :)

  216. Xyth says:

    Thank god for VdS. He saved the day today!!!!

    Second half better, but why it has become so frustrating to watch United!!!!

    If I was Fergie I would have a quiet word with Nani and tell him once and for all that Football is a team sport. His selfishness could and may cost us dearly. The goal that their rent boy scored was marginally offside that on another day may have been given.

    Let’s hope that this victory gives the lads confidence for even better performance against the rent boys.

  217. Utd4life says:

    Regarding Gibbo..Still not decided on him but he does have an eye for defence splitting passes..Great ball to berba for the 3rd goal..Think he will be asked to start against either Chelsea or L’pool depending on scholesy’s fitness..

  218. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Chicharito is a dream.

    Based on form, I’d like him to start against Chelsea with Berba too. While Rooney may seem lackluster he’s good when he’s up front. His touches and passes are an atrocity only when he starts going deep.

    Berba’s definitely starting at the bridge with Rooney. It’s an absolute luxury to be able to have Chicharito on the bench.

    Its almost disgusting that townsend. if he could he would try to get Rooney charged for that incident in the first half.

  219. mattbw7 says:

    nani4eva I think your name illustrates just how big a cunt you are, while he has been extremely good this year (and he’s still been bad on occasion) for the last two or three years he’s been as frustrating as anyone, yet you name yourself after him os one might think you might give a player a few breaks here and there but no you cant give berbs any slack at all, what a tool you are!!!

  220. Costas says:

    @dela

    Not a total waste of skin is he? I said it after the Crawley game, but 1-2 of those player might perform better if they play with the first team. Gibson and Obertan I think fall in that category.

    @thedonmassawe

    I think he will too. I don’t expect him to score a lot over the next 2 games, but he is still valuable to the team, by holding up play and controlling the tempo.

  221. BerbaGod says:

    Both Gibson and Berba did very well when they came on..
    No need to slate any of then nani4ever.

  222. mattbw7 says:

    I think nana4eva is andy townsend

  223. portugueseprincess says:

    @naniforever, please change your name. Please. Thanks.

    Really,please do change it.

  224. smartalex says:

    So a utd4life by any other name is still a nani4ever.

  225. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    @TonyBee

    Tell me about it. I can’t even be bothered to insult each and everyone of them, a war would just errupt on RoM.

    It isn’t everytime that we win with a big scoreline away from home that too after an away Champions League game. Clearly showing that our lads are really concentrating, and that’s a great start to a tough week.

    And I’m 100% sure that Rooney’s incident is gonna be brought up to the FA. And it’ll be a travesty that Pat’s incident went unnoticed uh?

  226. mattbw7 says:

    Are you watchin arsenal, are you watchin arsenal

  227. BigL19 says:

    why bring gibson on we know what he can do(fuck all) and not bring on king the game was over at 2-0. gibson must be fergies love child because theres no way hes united class pogba or morrison are better than he is

  228. CedarsDevil says:

    Can anyone here help start some sort of a petition to put Townsend out of his life, which seems like a mercy act. The guy is a fucked up tool

  229. BerbaGod says:

    Sometimes that’s necessery, TonyBee :D

    Some people only understand one language, and you have
    to communicate with them in that language, it isnt funny, but
    its the only way !

  230. mattbw7 says:

    missed the rooney incident my stream froze, was it worthy of a red?

  231. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    @20legend

    Agree totally about Berba’s attitude. Spot on about him putting team glory before his own.

  232. nani4ever says:

    Costas@ what did gibson really contribute for u to be overjoyed about, he came on when we were comfortable winning 2-0, a happen to clear a ball to berbatov from which we scored, am not telling anyone how to support the team but its fans like yourself who are settling for medioucrty that makes it acceptable for players has himself to still be in team when its clear he dosn’t have much to offer, at the start of the season I heard matthew james was going to get a chance, still haven’t seen it, I rather see players like norwood and brady even tuniacliff (excuse my spelling) and pogba given a chance, rather than a player promoted five years ago an still shit, only thing he does is give our academy a bad name, fucking unbelievable

  233. Utdforever says:

    nani4ever.. what are you on about?.. if it wasn’t for Berbs we wouldn’t be in the position where we are at today.. and maybe you can tell your mate Nani to pass once in a while ;)

  234. smartalex says:

    I’d like to see townsend explaining his feelings about the elbow, to Wayne Rooney and James McCarthy.

  235. mattbw7 says:

    Just read a few match reports the worse saying rooney caught the player on the back of the head, lets see what the knobs on MOTD have to say

  236. BerbaGod says:

    I am sorry nani4ever, but you are a bit deluded, fans like Costas are settling for mediocricy, which makes it acceptable for players to be in the team?
    That’s hilarious mate.

  237. King Eric says:

    nani4ever – Matty James isnt gonna play for United so you can forget that. Tunnicliffe and Pogba arent ready for games like this YET. You need to get some perspective pal. It would appear you know better than Fergie. Ollie Norwood in the first team. Ha ha ha,. You really are a fucking idiot. Carlisle didnt rate him. He is ok but again won’t make it here. Pogba and Tunni will get their chance. They are SEVENTEEN for fuck sake.

  238. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    @Mattbw7

    I don’t know if it’s intentional, he sort of elbowed the fella. It looked like Rooney was frustrated and took it out but there wasnt any incident between the two to lead up to that-so that’s why I don’t know if it’s intentional. If it was, I reckon it could have been a red. But if this is gonna be brought to the FA then the challenge on Pat should too, that was a more clear atrocity.

  239. mattbw7 says:

    nana4eva if scholes ot nani had supplied that glorious pass you would have been cumming in your pants, will Gibbo make it who knows but not everyone is Giggs or Rooney and starts at 17, I know Ian Wright was a striker but go and have a look at what age he was when he started his league career and what age he was when he established himself as 1st team regular. Im not saying this means gibbo’s future is secured it just illustrates that not everyone is a top player in thier teens you dimwitted numb nuts

  240. MrKirie says:

    Very happy with the end result! Credits to Wigan for trying to play, and playing so well at times that only a 40 year old flying dutchman could save us :)

    Van Der Sar kept us in this game, Chicha showed brilliant ability and Carrick and Fletcher didnt look too bad either. Thought Berba’s cameo was brilliant, a selfless assist to show also.

    Now bring on the russians, and then the scouser come weekend :)

  241. Utdforever says:

    VDS was immense today.. Shame we can’t get him to sign another year! And Vidic is a fucking MANBEAST. MOTM for me today despite chicharito’s double.

  242. Costas says:

    I’d rather settle for mediocrity than trash a United player. Not telling you how to support the club either, but it’s petulant fans like you that give our fans a bad name for being glory hunters. We won 4-0. Gibson played well. For the 3rd game in a row. What the fuck are you complaining about?

    You prefer it if we keep looking at how many games Gibson has played in, when he came off, when he came on and how many points we dropped in that time period again? Because that proved to be a dead end for you. Just drop it.

  243. nani4ever says:

    mattbw7@ and BerbaGod@ i will continue to give players stick who are playing garbage, until the team i love so much is back on the level of 99 and 07-08, 08-09. when we wernt settling for mediocurty as we are now with certain players holding back the team, the signing of berbatov completly fuck our fluid counter atacking system that meant tevez would not be sign because Sir Alex found is new favourite in berbatov, we sign for 29 mill who did absoulutey nothing is first 2 season and most of is goals this year came in about 5 games where is he for the other games.

  244. King Eric says:

    Costas – Ha go on lad!! It befuddles me how EVEN when we get a decent away win some “fans” cannot enjoy it. They always have to look for negatives. Weirdo’s. Bet they are a right laugh a minute.

  245. Costas says:

    @BerbaGod

    Now the truth is out. I am the reason Gibson is still at United. My endorsment of Gibbo is forcing Fergie’s hand. :) Throw your stones!

  246. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    It’s really funny how war seems be on the verge on RoM when we win and put in a good performance. We’ve been collectively poor as a team away from home many times this season, and when we finally put in a good shift away from home, there are people saying Berba was terrible all this while away from home, and Gibbo is rubbish? Get a life.

  247. King Eric says:

    nani4ever – Fuck off you are annoying me now. And many others with your childish remarks. You werent even born in 99 I bet . Get over fucking judas Tevez as well. Like someone said its beacuse of Berbatov we are top.

  248. Costas says:

    @King Eric

    Enjoying performances like today’s means that they have to admit they were wrong. ;) I don’t care. I allowed the Gibson and Carrick hysteria twice get to me. To each their own. In the end, and thank fuck for that, Fergie knows best.

  249. mattbw7 says:

    thats your perogative nana4eva but tell me did gibbo or berba play badly today and didnt your initial comment pre-judge them you knob

  250. King Eric says:

    Costas – Yeah mate but some of us are man enough to admit when we are wrong. I did with Nani.

    Anyway thats it for me. Our lass in Manchester all weekend and don’t have her blackberry and leaving work now.

    See you later.

  251. nani4ever says:

    costas@ what games were you watching gibson played well against Marseille, if that’s what you think then I’m spot on about mediocrity, this is not about glory hunting this is about continued excellence and playing at an high for which the greatest club in the world has always aspired to be

  252. YorYor says:

    Carrick, very very good game, as good as he was in THAT game against Roma. Could’ve got a free pass into goal had Fletcher spotted him just inside the box when the keeper spilled Nani’s shot.

    Nani might have been frustrating at times, but definitely a far cry from what Rooney was doing for the first 60 minutes.

    Those worrying about the midfield… worry about the GK spot first. Had Wigan put those 2 chances away first, the end result might have been very very different.

  253. willierednut says:

    Nani4eva = Micheal?

  254. Utd4life says:

    @nani4ever..to expect every Utd team to play like the 99 or 07 team is a bit too much..That 99 team is one of a kind..It will take time for us to reach that level but I’m happy with the way we are playing..Even with the fixtures and injuries fucking us up we are still top of the league, through to the FA cup Q/F and if our home form continues the way it has been we should be through to the CL Q/F..So chill and just enjoy the ride..

  255. willierednut says:

    Nani4eva = manunitedchampions08?

  256. King Eric says:

    willie – Yes mate. and manunitedchampions2008! I must admit I thought fergie is the boss was him but he actually talks sense. Oh those were the days.

  257. nani4ever says:

    they played ok and great unselfishness by berbatov i don’t hate the guy but he dosn’ t fit our system, in order to accommodate him we have to play a three man midfield because we cant play a two man midfield against a strong opposition, but he as improved vastly this season, but as for gibson i see nothing to look forward to no upside but a bit part squad player taking of space for the youngster.

  258. willierednut says:

    Nani4ever – You need to chill mate. What do expect, when the team has won 4 0 away from home and you’re complaining about certain players? A pat on the back? We all know the midfield needs strengthening mate. Be happy with result, for today at least.

  259. YorYor says:

    Oh, and those wondering what’s wrong with the boss for starting JOS and Chicharito, there’s a term called squad rotation. And he has just shown you why he is the one on the helms and not just another armchair manager. If you haven’t realised, it’s a tough 10 days ahead. We need all the freshness and squad depth we can.

  260. Xyth says:

    Yet another reassuring display from Smalling. Pretty son, Vidic-Smalling will be our first choice centre back pairing.

    It is ashame he did not play against the Wolves few weeks ago from the beginning of the match. I have no doubt that we would have not lost that match!

  261. mattbw7 says:

    nana4eva how the fuck you work out that the sole reason Tevez left is and for 30 pieces of silver is beyond me and is just you attempting to re write history, fact is Tevez didnt like being part of a squad whereas the berbs has been dropped for a couple of important games of late to suit Fergies tactical approach and he’s just go on with it and if you want to see fluid counter attacking play just look at berbas goal against Blackburn where he won a tackle as blackburn attacked played the ball to evra took it back passed to nani who crossed for errrrrmm oh yes berbatov to score, fuck you twonk

  262. Utd4life says:

    @yoryor..spot on about squad rotation mate..With the fixtures coming so thick and fast you need to use every member of your squad..If you constantly keep playing your best starting 11 then you are eventually going to get fucked..Just like Chelsea found out this season..

  263. willierednut says:

    Who the fucks complaining about Hernandez starting? lol. He’s given the boss a big problem, now. His two goals were top class.

  264. BerbaGod says:

    Costas – classic!

    nani4ever..
    You are entitled to your opinion, but its just the way you are putting them forward:
    “Chicharitoooo, yes! No more Berba for the rest of the season.. horaay!”
    Thats childish and when you consider how Berba has helped us this season, it leaves me dumbfounded.

  265. smartalex says:

    mattbw7 says: at 17:11
    nani4eva I think your name illustrates just how big a cunt you are, while he has been extremely good this year (and he’s still been bad on occasion) for the last two or three years he’s been as frustrating as anyone, yet you name yourself after him os one might think you might give a player a few breaks here and there but no you cant give berbs any slack at all, what a tool you are!!!

    Mattbw7 has really identified a core flaw in nani4eva.

    nani4eva has chosen a name that implies undying love and an unquestioning acceptance,
    and yet he doesn’t afford Manchester United that quality.

    Therefore, he is an imposter, pretending to love Nani, when it is really acceptance he seeks.
    But he hates having to admit that he’s needy, so he claims ‘ever-loving’ qualities while expecting us to earn his respect before he will be respectful.

  266. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    I can’t believe there’s an entire post game show dedicated to the Rooney incident. The dumb host asks for United fans to call in and tell honestly that it should be a red. Tell honestly that it was a red? How is that an opinion when your forcing your views on people?

    I need townsend off the tv now.

  267. nani4ever says:

    nani4ever is just nani4ever no one else he is just an over passionate supporter of the greatest club in the world, we are a club that is so illustrious and so rich in history, with probably the greatest manager of all time and we shouldn’t be settling for mediocrity, i know pogba and tunnicliffe are only seventeen but age is just a number and that’s around the same age giggsy and the great generation made there debut, i rather see the youngster blood and tried rather than a player with no upside.

  268. Costas says:

    @King Eric

    Yeah mate. I admitted the same for Smalling after my initial fears. I am actually glad everytime a United lad proves me wrong.

    @Willie

    I think you might be on to something there. He has to be one of those two.

  269. Saad says:

    @RyanDunny

    Allow me to rewrite the last part of your summary:

    Van der Sar reminds of us what we’re going to miss BAAAAAAAAAAAAADLY come next season!!!

  270. Raizzen says:

    Whats with the players bashing ? Sell him. Sell them. Carrick sucks. JOS sucks bla bla bla it gets tiring. At the end of the day Fergie retain those players and in return they repay his faith. Seen too much of the tragedy that you plastic fans are.

    I’ve said it far too many times and am not ashamed to say it again – If Fergie were to listen to the likes of you – we would’ve missed Nani’s creativity and Berba’s brilliance this season.

    So fuck off you. Whoever you are.

  271. Raizzen says:

    And whats with the medias ? Pointing Arsenal to ‘greater glories’ when we’re top of the League ?

    Fuck you ABU media cunts

  272. Costas says:

    @Saad

    Not to mention that he has as many assists as Bale and Nasri this season. :) Just awesome.

    @Raizzen

    Well said.

  273. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    @saad and Ryandunny

    Tell me about it fellas. VDS is gonna be a mega miss, and I can’t come to terms with it. The fact that he’s retiring hasn’t even sunk in, and here he goes making these fantastic saves, and it makes my situation even worse.

  274. mattbw7 says:

    can we all rename him NANA4eva a bit childish yes but he deserves it

  275. Paul Parker says:

    Very pleasing to see the Lads TURN UP today now I can swan off this weekend in peace. Hernandez looked the part again today, seems a good lad but tbh he’d be justified in wondering why the fuck he doesn’t start more. Proven Goalscorer. Good to see Gibson contribute to another goal as well. Based on current form alone he’s as entitled to a place in our midfield as Fletcher or Carrick. With the biggest games coming up its a shame theres a distinctly Anderson shaped hole in our midfield. But overall the whole team did well after midweek’s exploits, just hope Rooney shows more gumption at the Bridge… cos Gibs/Berb tap in aside, I wasn’t really convinced. And smile a bit more ffs your at United where would you rather be Son?

    As for Nani, funny thing is… how many games has he TURNED in our favour by cutting onto his left and scoring outside or just inside the box? You all love when it beats the Kepper no? Nani is justified to ‘take the ball on himself’ he’s our biggest threat after Berbatov ffs – and you can’t score if you dont shoot – so the popular chorus of ‘Nani pass more’ is getting a tad bit redundant fellas. Better sing him a fucking song first aye? Lol. He’s assisted more goals than anyone in the EPL and already has more goals than most strikers, so in my book he can shoot till he clicks fucking empty. Top player still getting better. For the skeptics, be patient, sit back, and enjoy the Nani show, cos half of you lot wanted him sold anyway. More to the point im sure Alec is telling him to shoot more hence his goal tally this season, so be grateful, I doubt we would be top without him this year. Having said that…

    WELL DONE AWAY FROM HOME LADS!!! NOW BRING ON THE RENT BOYS!!!

    mattbw7@ every utd supported an even those who hate us knows that with the tevez/rooney/ronaldo combination we would have probably won 3 champions league, and for tevez to be in the most potent trio combination one season, and then all of a sudden to become a squad player the next season when he was part of a premier league and champions league squad winning team. but i admit there is more than one side to a story Sir Alex had the whole season to sign him but it was clear to every one that Sir Alex favored berbatov over him, all of that is past history now so i still support our players but it is just frustrating to see how we are playing this season especially away from home.

    Can you believe it? “Chicharito looks like he enjoys himself but look at Berbatov, shrugs and looks like he wants to go home to his wife”-townsend. They call these idiots professionals? I’m gonna burst a blood vessel this way.

    I can’t seem to make up my mind on whom United should get to replace VDS (I really dont like that nick, sounds like an unfortunate disease!).

    Neuer…got the rep (Germany No. 1, not too old, not too young)
    De Gea…got the talent but a bit too young
    Stekelenberg…got the experience (Holland No. 1 and from the same academy as VDS)
    Reina…..ooooooooohhh (dare i say anything about that!)
    Lloris…sorry, i’m not a fan of this guy
    Akinfeev…diamond in the rough???
    Buffon…I must be smoking something!
    Gordon…not big enough profile but another diamond in the rough?
    Mandanda…I like what I saw
    Enyeama…great in the WC but a BIG question mark

    nani4ever is just nani4ever no one else he is just an over passionate supporter of the greatest club in the world, we are a club that is so illustrious and so rich in history, with probably the greatest manager of all time and we shouldn’t be settling for mediocrity, i know pogba and tunnicliffe are only seventeen but age is just a number and that’s around the same age giggsy and the great generation made there debut, i rather see the youngster blood and tried rather than a player with no upside.

    not sure who you are Lad, but from the responses you’ve received on here anyone would think you was Stalin.

    You opinion is valid, but think the reason Alec is sticking with what he’s got rather than blooding in new players… is due to his shrewdness. Why commit to change NOW when the season is just getting warmed up? For all we know, in the next couple of games Carrick could rediscover his defence splitting form of a few seasons ago, while Fletcher could return to last seasons best. Rooney rediscovered his form to win us 3 vital points, for example. Also, how can Alec fairly decide who stays, who goes, and who moves into the first team…. if he makes a premature decision in February? He needs as long as possible to judge his team. Playing for time and not being forced to make poor judgements is all part and parcel of team selection.

    Wait till Summer you’ll see what I mean – basically we shouldn’t be throwing in teenagers to win our 19th, that could fuck up their future development if we didn’t regain the title. Look at Rafa last season, he could have played more but Alec managed his development beautifully. He looks first team this year. So yeah mate, I agree young players should be brought in but only when the time is right. If we win anything this year, it has to be with the first team, Alec has to show that faith to the Established players first and foremost. But your entitled to your opinion to want more young players in the team, Obviously.

    Well we didnt have tevez last year you twat and our away performances where good, admittedly the injury to Rooney fucked our season cos Berbs didnt take the bull by the horns (and if you mention the blackburn game dont forget he put a chance on a plate for Tony V and he missed it, win as a team, lose as a team), this year berbs has played out of his skin at times so you cant mix our away form with just berbatov not playing well or tevez leaving. Fact is SAF wanted Tevez to stay but the greedy little cunt wanted to much coin than we where prepared to pay him and his fucking knuckle dragging entourage pissed off everyone around OT and by the way his contribution wasnt as great as you suggest, sure he ran round a fucking lot and won the hearts of a lot of fans but his end product didnt deserve it, he just couldnt handle being a squad player, we took the fat little twat from West Ham and gave him a platform and he fooked off to city (not to liverpool cos he didnt want to upset the UTD fans lol). And if City do finish in the top four they will cast their net over the top talent of world football and he will be a fucking squad player again, even mancini’s said he doesnt expect him to be there next season and you can bet your bottom dollar he wont be going back to argentina to be near his daughters.

    So fuck off nana4eva and come back when you know summat

    Wouldn’t bother my arse about action on Rooney knock it’s different this year to last when Rio copped it this year we are not coming under official scrutiny as our manager is biting his lip this season so were their pets.

  284. willierednut says:

    Paul Parker – Spot on about Nani. Just think if he was to get injured? Top player and growing with every performance. Just have a gander at his stats.

  285. Paul Parker says:

    …and who exactly did Andy Townsend suck off to get on television? Of all the retired players and ex-managers in the world of football smh.

    @smartalex – easy mate. Was cracking up at your posts the other day.

    Take it easy fellas! On to the Bridge!

  286. Paul Parker says:

    @willieredut. Your right, it literally wouldn’t bear thinking about if Nani was out, he’s been immense this year that shows good character. Cannot wait for Tuesday, then its Anfield, this is what its all about! Take it easy mate.

  287. mattbw7 says:

    Yeah him and southgate, what a pair of twats I almost dont want to watch United on ITV when these two clowns are on

    The best thing to do is treat everything said about United as a pile of shit,
    the ABU’s in the written and spoken media are a joke.

    I just dont bother anymore, talksport and ITV are the worst – both pathetic.

    The London press are all over Spurs and Arsenal, nobody mentions we have
    had a 25 point turnover with Chelsea in 4 months.

    We are the top goal scorers in the Prenier league, 4 more that the Arse and 20 odd
    more than the ‘great entertainers’ Spurs !!!!!!
