Yes great to have choices as you can chop and change during the season..taking into account games, fatigue, competition, injury. But for consistency...the ultimate pairings have to play and play together often. That is what i said and half the choices i listed are some that saf has tried and still cant pick the right one. I mean so far he's found out andy cant play with scholsey and fletcher a bit part player has been a revelation. So you figure..or anybody else for that matter..what our midfield partnership would be...same goes for strike OT RED…thats what i said..many choices….but finding the right combo and mix is essential.

Ronaldo didn't dive, it wasn't a penalty and we deserved to win. Where's the bias there??? As far as I'm concerned, all three points are true. Besides Muwamba's chance and a clear-cut free-kick, how many chances did Bolton create? Theres nothing biased about it, the decision changed the game, but we fully deserved to win. @Par: You're obviously not a United fan, so wtf are you doing posting comments on a United blog? @Failsworth devil, i agree with every point. The only thing besides the penalty that is unfair here, is the final score, 2-0 doesn't do Bolton justice, it should have been more. Penalty or not, we've had a sh!t start to the season, a sh!tty summer and its about time some luck started coming our way. How’s the headline “in your face”???

And yes drew vader...our failure from corners hitting the first man or short corners frustrate me loads too. worst sin you can commit is taking a shite corner..when you have a chance to pin your opps down. The performance wasnt as great as people make out. we huffed and puffed alot pre goal. And no doubt the dodgy pen did help us....seeing after it we played some better football with more touch guile and rythm. But saying that what do you expect. My take on it is. We are not firing on all cylinders. Because SAF doesnt know his first 11. I mean its great having soooooooooooooooooooo many great players. But he just doesnt know his first 11. Hence chopping changing game in game out. Players arent settled and havent formed proper partnerships. I mean apart from the back 4. There would be 20 different opinions on formation for the midfield and attack. Carrick andy andy scholes scholesy fletch andy park hargo carrick scholes carrick nani park park giggs giggs ron ron park tevo roona manucho roona berba tevo berba roona tevo manucho SAF doesnt know his best 11 bar the back 4...hence we re not firing. 3 points though...hopefully we wont drop anymore until we find that first 11 Agree that we werent great.

Ive been too fucking frustrated to comment on anything, and have been avoiding some of my favorite sites. That was a terrible, shocking performance. I could list 25 things that drove me fucking nuts, but Im going to limit myself to just this one, and excuse me for using the all caps, but thats the point where I find myself now.... WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE SHORT MOTHER FUCKING CORNERS?!?!?!?!?!?! IT LOOKED LIKE SAF TOLD THEM THE WHOLE TEAM WOULD HAVE TO RUN EXTRA IF ANYONE DARED TAKE A NORMAL FUCKING CORNER!!! ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT OUT OF A TEAM OF 11 PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLERS THERE ISNT ONE, NOT FUCKING ONE, WHO YOU TRUST ENOUGH TO PUT IN A DECENT BALL INTO THE BOX??? AND NOT ONE OF THOSE SHORT CORNERS DID ANYTHING!! NOT A FUCKING THING!! IF I WAS VIDIC AND RIO I WOULD TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF AND WHATS THE POINT OF GOING FORWARD JUST TO WATCH A TWO MAN TEAM CONTRIVE TO FUCK IT UP. Sadly, that didnt make me feel any better. Im just more fired up now. Once again Denton Davey, I agree with you 100% man….

Or rather, it wasn't as bad a decision as it was made out to be. Ronaldo was impeded, he didn't dive, the "contact" happened well inside the penalty area and Styles had to make a call - we've seen them given for less. So don't know what the fuss is about.

Lets be honest... bolton got mullered by us... and should be keepin there gobs shut coz in all honesty... 2-0 really flattered them, as we spent 90% of the game in there half.. and the only real chance they had at the end of the first half was all they did in our last third. Good to see CR7 and Wazza linkin up like they was last season that is promising ... and i think Berba did some good touches... which is what he needed... i reckon in about 3-4 weeks we will be seeing some good football out of united... slow starters... which means plenty in the tank for us... and with the game in hand will mean only 3 points off top... Dont think there is too much for us to worry about.. do you?? We aint been playing well... not really... and we are in touching distance.. The scouse, and chelski will have a bad month... always happens... thats when we capitalise on it... and back to the top we go... where we belong... after all ... "It is our trophy".

You should just ask the Dippers if they've never seen Gerrard diving? Hmm... he does is for his club and country. Anant – Ronaldo has dived in the past, he didn’t dive yesterday.
