Ferdinand???
Kagawa in the hole or in the wings?
RIOOOoOoOOooOoOoOooOoO… Now thats an awesome surprise..
You see the strength of the bench, and you realise how much of a stronger squad we are this year with Vidic back and the addition of Kagawa and RvP.
Strong Bench !
easy win for us
come on united
I would say Welbeck on the left and Kagawa in behind? Don’t think he would shift Kagawa after how impressive he has looked in the hole.
Nirvanutdketki
In the hole , Wellbeck on LW
Great to c rio back c’mon reds hammer these fuckers.
De Gea confirms he dropped DeGea because of the mistake last game.
Why change the keeper, was thinking consistency in goal should be maintained.
Anyway, what do i know, i just want us to give them a drubbing, good thing we have the regular defenders back. We even have the luxury of having a central defender on the bench which is rare, considering how we started the season.
Vidic
That will give us a lot going forward…..enjoy the game,mate
*Ferguson Confirms *
6-0…van persie hattrick…kagawa 4 assists
GAME DAY!!!!!
Thnx You too Nirvan
Come on United!
Come on United!
Come on United!
Come on United!
Come on United!
Greetings from Nairobi, Kenya! Lets go UNITED!!!!
I don’t think Fergie should have said that de Gea could have cost us the game against Fulham. Better to do that in private.
Africa in DaHouse!!!
not his style Colbert … better in than out …..as that old slag Sara is so fond of saying
To be honest, i am totally with the Gaffer in dropping De Gea. He is one of the best goalkeeper, Man Utd had in terms of” shoot stopping” but his areal presence is one of the worst i’ve seen. He needs to develop in that area. I have a good feeling about him and he’ll be one day regarded as a legend. At the moment we can’t afford such silly mistakes. Lindegaard almost cry after his mistake in Germany against Hannover. I was very close to him and saw his reactions and i’m sure he’s eager to show, what he’s capable of.
nani/giggs 4 welbeck nd it bkams perfect!
tk99 he also needs to bulk up a bit…..get a bit more weight on him so he can knock players out of the way when he comes for crosses etc
http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?matchid=168545&part=sports
Links!
Competition at all spots!
If you go back and look at the first 2 games, De Gea has been our second best performer behind Kagawa. I am dumbfounded that he was dropped. For what? A conceded goal that ended up meaning fuck all? Not to mention that for the 2nd time in 10 months Fergie publically declared he dropped him. Some more diplomacy in these cases wouldn’t hurt.
From the rolling hills of Dubuque Iowa USA. On the Upper Mississippi River valley!!
Man Utd crazy!!
Have a look.
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Dubuque+Iowa&ie=UTF-8&ei=Y3NDUMSdDILjrAHb_YHYDA&ved=0CAsQ_AUoAg
Costas …when ever has SAF been diplomatic…
When is Hernandez going to get a chance, would of preferred to see him in Welbecks place.
What a coincidence , im wearing all grey . I just found out now . Best get changed.
Fergie’s comments are calculated. No one outside the inner circle knows his reasons.
@TonyBee
At times he has been. He never said in public that he dropped Rooney. Covered that one pretty well didn’t he? “He was behind in terms of fitness” etc etc.
If this keeps up, by Christmas every player in the squad will have been dropped.
DDG should start, why waste Kagawa on the wings because we want Welbeck to start…oh well. SAF really worried of Southhampton height in the box, but how else will DDG learn? Lindergard is a great GK, but let’s not start the GK-by-committee thing we did last season…pick a No. 1 and stick by him!
Here we go! Glad to see Rio back.
Defenders on defense!
Nice to see the injured blokes back in def… Now we ll see how good we re…
Wow looking a threat!!!!!
Well team sheet had him on wings, either that report was wrong or Kagawa is doing a ‘gerrard’ and drifting back to his natural position in the hole. Welbeck is pushed wide.
Jay – hernandez has been off form and not versatile enough to play welbeck’s role.
Trafford – welbeck is on the wing, kagawa is in the hole.
set pices is a concern
dont think welbeck has the technical ability (ball control) to play on the wing, and where’s ando?!
Noooo
FUCK ME GENTLY
IS KAGAWA WEARING JUST SOCKS AND NO BOOTS?!
Ferdinand should have been on Lambert
We need a right back that can defend fuck
4 goals against in 3 match
come on united we must win
Our defense still fucking terrible
Rachael exposed again. A simple diagnol ball and the striker pulls on him.
Kagawa having a shocker
FUCK!!!!
Rafael*
We have conceded first in every game this season.
3 point!!!
Bullying of De Gea, Felliani on Carrick now Lambert on Rafael… Methinks United defense needs to wise up a little
Carrion barring a couple of quick balls into Van Persie has been extremely sloppy as well. Tempo has been a bit slow so far.
Carrick* fucking gonna chuck this phone away!
Southampton definitely know how to take advantage of the fact that they play on a small field. Utd have to get more shots on net.
@ Joeffrey
And what exactly did you want Rafael to do? Out jump one of the best headers of the ball in the league right now, or magically grow taller as the ball was in flight. Ferdinand should have spotted him drifting to the backpost.
rvp yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
YESSSSS! Get in!
well well that didn’t take fucking long did it………………. RVP
RVP!!!
Brilliant goal! Valencia to Van Persie!
RVP SO FUCKING GOOD
Van Persie!
YES!!!!
Rvp = God.
RVP first name on the time sheet from know on
RVP…Booooom. Thanks to the thick headed groundsman who watered this slick pitch to death.
We need to up the tempo now, like we did against Fulham.
Please will one of our defenders stick some fucking studs into that fucker Lambert,ffs
is Cleverley playing today…..
Give the ball to van and he will score
Absolutely brilliant finish from Van Persie, made it look as easy.
So* I fucking give up.
Back on track. Negative fans needs to calm down. Only 25 mins in. Rafael is short- get over it. Shinji is still getting used to the rain soaked pitch. Something forlan never learned. Both will prove their worth based on their strengths. Don’t know many perfect players. Get behind your team or choose another please.
Ryan – that’s what i thought. aerially, lambert is a threat, need someone bigger to keep an eye on him.
Carrick wanting an eternity on the ball again.
Still can’t understand why in a team flush with natural wingers why we have Danny wide on the wings.
Scholes to come on at 60 mins
Thanks Samuel. Last time I checked, the cbs covered strikers, not fbs. Gnev wouldn’t have done any better.
Pathetic game from Carrick. So tired of it. How many time is he going to fuck it up.
rio rafa danny wake up!
Where the fuck is the midfield
Our midfield getting dominated by southhampton lol..
Lindegaard’s kicks have been shit.
How big is Lampert?
His head is of a man 6’7″
Ferdinand sticking to Lambert in the box now.
This why should of dembelle we are out muscle in the middle
We are Manchester United for crying out loud!!
Carrick sleepwalking
Carrick sleepwalking
How many late fouls is the ref going to allow before he shows one of them a card? Irritating. We’ve got to get the ball to Valencia more often. He’s one of the few players looking threatening right now.
Where is our threat???
Carrick again with s poor performance…what does fergie see in him that no1 else does…continuesly giving the ball away and getting intercepted…yet fergie will not drop nor sub him..joke..watch clev or kagawa get subd later abd carrick yet again remain on….
Poor first half in my eyes and yet again going a goal behind..this system doesnt suit and neither does carrick fuckin have the balls to drop him fergie…get ando in or play nani wide….
100
Panda kung foed my 100
Carrick spent the last two games at cb. Only preseason before that. Wait til the end of the game to pass judgement. Or at least after his response to the hair dryer he is going to get lol.
Lindegaard 5 Poor poor poor kicking and looks incredably nervous
Rafael 6 Decent going forward but having a mare against Lambert
Vidic 6 Very average against very average opponents
Ferdinand 6.5 Average at best
Evra 7 Playing decently, offers good outlet on the left
Carrick 5.5 Playing awful, too slow, misplaced passing
Cleverely 7.5 Playing well, but nobody is on the same wavelength as him
Kagawa 7 Playing decent, but outmuscled and nobody making runs for him to pass into
Valencia 7.5 Playing very well, looks a threat going forward. Has to be the only way we’re gonna score
Welbeck 5 What the hell is he doing on the pitch, clearly not a left sided player… getting frustrated and coming in way too deep
Van Persie 7.5 What can I say, no service, 2 chances and buried one beautifully.
Wake up United. Please.
well Cleverley and Kagawa aint having a game today are they ….see what the second half brings ….
Scholes on for Clevs probably
Our midfield needs a kick in the arse at halftime not good enough. Great piece of skill from robin for the goal.
realtively poor start from united. Good to get back on level terms with a typical van persie finish. Midfield became really sloppy in the middle. Carrick guilty of miss passes and losing possession , he has been quite a weak link . I guess kagawa, welbeck are running into each other quite often. Hopefully we buckle up , become clinical in the final third and not lose possession cheaply
Get scholes on and why is wellbeck playing out of position again when nani is on the bench…no width thats the problem..same against everton….sumtimes i wonder what goes through fergies nut
Carrick slow starter of any season, this is his 1st CMF game. They are not robots. Not yet, any way.
Lampert scores that header on any PL player. Labron James at 6’9′ 280 gets it.
I think it’s been a sloppy performance all round. Back to our traditional slow start to the season, looked way off the pace in parts of that half. Don’t understand Welbeck playing out wide? Fail to see any benefit from him playin there.
I’ve already turned my expectations for the season way down so everything nice that happens is a bonus. We couldn’t win the midfield battle against San Marino at the moment.
Haha zibbie
Zibbie il take it back for a completed carrick pass
deja vu game
we need to improve,poor perfemonce so far
danny on the wing didn t work against everton nor today
i still think we will win the game come on united!
Scholes will settle Carrick. And help link up to let Kagawa free in the middle 1st third.
Kagawa, here is a wet pitch, and guys who want what you have.
Zibbie, that’s not a good thing conceding Carrick makes a slow start to every season, are excusing his performance then?
Why play Welbeck when you don’t cross the ball high?
Nani on the left might have given us more balance. Nothing coming from the left all day
@ Zibbie
We will lose this game if Scholes comes on. Southhampton are pressing high up, Scholes won’t cope, hell Carrick isn’t coping. Should have kept faith with Anderson-Cleverley-Kagawa setup, but I guess Carrick got out of CB duty so coaching staff was obliged to shift him back to his natural position…he doesn’t look bothered though.
We will win today for sure but i cant understand being overrun by southampton in mid.
Kungfoocantona – As ZIbbi said, that is Carrick’s first game in Midfield this season. Let him get a handle ffs. He’s just getting his eye back in. Did you see how he’s spotted and almost created 2-3 chances for RvP over the last line of defense? Give him a breather and wait for the 90 mins to get over at the very least.
why am i still confident of a treble?
Hasn’t worked out thus far. Carrick, Tom, Kagawa and Welbeck should be dropped against Wigan.
Do you know what’s being dominated
Wow, some shocking comments on here
Full of negativity
Their goal came after shinji slipped due to this terrible pitch
So fucking frustraiting. You get the feeling that our players think they are still in pre-season. No urgency and desire at all. Our midfield seems to be non existent. Thanks to RvP for rescuing something for us.
Nani and Scholes for Welbeck and Kagawa. who is not in this match at all.
Carrick having a awful game. But He is a vital cog in our team so he needs time before he can impose in the field. We will gradually improve. I hope sir alex finds out our best starting line up.
Robin van persie is a awesome striker. Great signing from us.
Sacrificing a winger for Welbeck just so he gets game time. Lad’s just running around, wasting his time getting tired. No threat at all from his wing. Just bring on a winger ffs!
Horrible half to be honest. Very bad. Put aside that we are being dominated by Southampton, our game plan has been long ball. We are United for fucks sake, Fucking United and we are playing long ball against promoted team and they look like a fucking Barcelona. There is absolutely no excuse. How can average players do it and our multi million dollar stars can’t. There are big problems with training and our link up play. No excuses about new players this has been going on for years now. We will not win anything if we can’t have our game and it doesn’t matter whom we buy. SAF shoot have a really long look into it. One other thing is that our development of players have been stalled for years now. NO progress what so ever and on the contrary players are getting worse. Nani, Ando, Carrick, Chicharito, Rooney on top of Welbeck and Clev who are not any better then they were two years ago. We have been talking about “potential” and “coming good” of so many of these players, but for how long are we going to keep speaking about that?
Seriously though, Rafa should be more aware of his surroundings. It’s the one problem that’s hampered him thus far. It goes without saying that every tall striker will target his side and I don’t demand that he wins every header. At least be aware of who’s coming behind your back.
It’s abundantly clear that all we need is Rickie Lambert, I don’t care where we play him.
Now let us sign Lambert
RvP so isolated due to the slow build up.we giving too much time for saints defence to regroup.
He said, she said, Zib said and they say. Hear say. Say Hey Kid. Zib zags sways away.
to be frank this midfield of ours is no wear near Barcelona!!
Colbert
Understand ur frustration but what we need is consistancy from the team selection and the right formation…we have the quality no doubt but fergie far to often changes the team and it costs us in my opinion..and fir the life of me i cant see why he constantly plays carrick…its a disgrace. players like javi garcia would revel in our team but no he goes across the road..its as if he sayin carrick stays were he is…as bad as it sounds i hope carrick gets injured for a few months as the likes of scholes jones and ando all do a better job than him…i guess it will be the end of the season before we can truly judge but by then it could b to late with another trophyless season passing us by, a tranfer market were fergie will use the excuse of theres no scholes replacement when really its a carrick replacement we need….cant wait for fletch to return although i fear clev could suffer and not carrick
Ironbrand-your right just play two wingers and get some shape
DreadedRed and I have same thinking. Let us sign Lambert. We have already missed out on Fellani and dembele
. We should sign all those players who score against us 
Costas, Rafa is young, sometimes dumb and full of cum. He will learn and progress. Jones is back after the break?
This is a project in the works, delayed some what with Wazza’s gash. Gash slang here in the US for pussy,
Both goals actually happened after a slippery
Fuck me, we got this game
Only a matter of time before we bang in 3
Get nani in for wellbeck then we sorted
Let alone barca we are nothing in mid
Atin
Ive had this opinion for the last few years check all my previous posts its not a off the mark comment..he isnt good enough to command a regular place no way is he…he gets caught out often and gives tge ball away to often aswell…yes he has some quality yes but not enough simple as tgat….anyway come on united lets take this to the saints and put in a performance like last weeks 1st half job…COM ON
RVP what a miss….
Shocking!
WOW!
We deserve to lose this. Frail ponderous toothless performance.
Seems all the Premier teams have sussed out how to play against us….put big bollocking forwards up against our full backs ….worked twice today….
Comical.
Time to make changes ffs. What is the point of Cleverley? Does not even try.
Fuckin disgrace….fuckin sort ur shity tactics formstion and team selecton out fergie before its to late…3 games in 2 defeats and then a trip to anfield…league will b over for us by then…and i cant wait to here hos fuckin lame excuse then.ARGHHHHH im so fuckin angry
When did United become pushovers?
2 losses out of 3 will be a mini disaster. Especially when you lool at our fixtures. We look incredibly vulnerable to crosses and long balls. Full back areas a concern but we knew this last season.
Get Evra off . PLEASE!
Have to say we’re making soton look world class right now. Twice on away matches that our midfield seems anonymous. Well scholesy and nani it is
Hope we dont concede 6
No passion at all from this lot at all…teams no longer fear us and why should they
Pat is awful….
Evra is just plain embarassing anymore. Absolutely ridiculous.
I hope Fergir has got the message, never start players out of fucking position again! Football is a bloody simple game and Welbeck is not a fucking left winger!
Interested to see who fergie replaces prob rvp noin his selections
We shoulda been 4 4 2 from the start
Kagawa off.. Welbeck still on??? Me very confused?
Amazing really the instant control scholesy brings.
I’m amazed Welbeck didn’t come off there? Bemused to say the least.
Lindegaard just doesn’t have that cat reflex of De Gea.
Chasing the shadows..
Goodness me…
Wtf with fergie, where is chicharito, we are loosing! Unbelivable welbeck keep playing and not scoring at all! This is ridiculous
I am stunned by this display!
Going by fergie’s logic all 11 players should be benched for the next game.
Amateurish midfield
They are creating chances all the time and we just look at them, fucking joke. WAKE UP
Real early problems in the season here. We’ve looked a real soft touch all 3 games this season. Players playing out of position left right and centre and goal keeper chopping as early as the 3rd game.
I love rafa but he cant defend for shit…should move him to right midfield and maybe make that jones position…
Our defense is rubbish..
This is awful were as bad now as we were when we threw the league away last season
PENALTY
penalty …..
Nani did the job there.
We are complete fucking shit. No excuses for a performance like this.
Clear pen.. should have been a booking too.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
what a fucking miss oh dear
Hmm incredible miss really
How poor have we got to become before something is done ? !
WHAT THE FUCK IS RVP DOING???
The team is a joke. A midfield can’t pass can’t use ball well can’t keep ball..
Fuckin joke of a penalty…what has happened to this football club…citeh mist be pissin themselves at this disgraceful shit….
Fuck RVP
That was not a time for that
Fuck!
Is this team going backwards???????
We are a joke
United are the ones in red hey?…
Our display is pissing me off !!!!!!!!!!
Usually a panenka penalty is put in the middle of goal, Robin….
Really hope we lose that game,because we deserve that today…(so far…)
Kung fuck
Don’t fucking call us disgraceful you prick
I cannot believe it, united haven’t turned up yet again.
Finally SAF takes off Welbeck who has been scoring for fun his whole career and collecting golden boots
that was not the moment to do a panenka !!!!!!we re such rubish and he did a thing fucking hard !!!!!!
Not surprised I know this coaching staff and how inept they are…I knew they would throw in Scholes. Schneiderlin has never scored at Saint Mary’s. Take heart this Southampton team was always going to cause us problems, a Lil trust in DDG would have gone a long way today.
We look devoid of intent. Almost nit arsed to be honest. Some on please stand up and be counted
Proverb
Fuck u dick head im calling the performance disgracful u idiot not the club
Welbeck should always start before chicha because he is English…smh. Okay I’m done pouting.
its the system. Too many sideways passes and time spent delaying the counter, allowing the saints to mass in front of goal. Always too many red shirts in between our the frontline and the goal. Also far too many poor first touches in between there, and its been happening for a while now.
Panenka = you are gambling on either looking like a complete hero or a grade a twat, at those key moments, you gotta smash it into the net and not try fancy tries. Beyond frustrated.
COME ON LADS!!
…absolutely speechless about the performances this season so far…CUM ON UTD
This display reinforces the transfer fiasco last week – Berba goes to Fulham and we fail to get Dembele as part of the deal. Since when has Welbeck been a winger – dont play players out of position it will automatically impact on the fluency of our play. Which planet are the coaching staff on?
@kungfoo
Whatever you are labelling as disgraceful you moron
Take that and stick it to you ass
Disgraceful is a supporter like you
No creativity here…
Must say whats fergie gona use as an excuse 2nite…he cant blame the ref for this 1…he said he was gona stop makin mistakes with his changes and formations cause it cost us yet 3 games later with 2 potential defeats he has done it again…the man is costing us legend or not he isnt bigger thsn the football club and with his team selections and signings over the last few years and insbility to sign in tge 1 fuckin position we need because he is ignorant and arragont has cost us…the performances over the last 2 years have been poor at best and citeh will dominate for years to come unless he sorts it out
Whats wrong with you Man.United…? Whats WROOOOONG?????!!!
I don’t normally have a go at the team/club etc… but FUCK OFF FERGIE
Cmon Utd!!!
To be honest, we don’t deserve anything from this game. Southampton have not only given more on the pitch but they’ve outplayed us.
Yippeeeee
http://gator892.hostgator.com/~takemp3/4shared2.php?name=Sia%20%20wild%20one%20%20bow3er%20remix%20%20D&id=YkcwNFlqWjZXbWc
Here’s the tune dance u moron
Finally Here We Go!
We look worse than we have done for years this season so far. We really shouldn’t be outplayed like this by side that was in league one 2 yrs ago. Every team can have their day though.. Whats really worrying is the lack of quality and precision in the final third. Fuck me.. 2-2.
Proverb
U clearly are an idiot..but get in there rvp…..
2-2 now come on you fucking cunting reds … get another fucker
FINALLY, lets go for the winner now!
and I don’t care that we’ve just scored – this is shite to watch – it is not what I started supporting this team for – if I had wanted to watch this kind of crap as a supporter I would’ve supported West Fucking Ham
Nani plays like one who’s not interested
Get him out fergie
THATS THE UNITED WE KNOW!
Van fucking persie get in there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCKING YESSSSSSSS
Fuuuuuck yeah! RVP!!
get the fuck in ….told you …told you 3-2 …hahahahahahah
I knew that would happen
YYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
RVP=god
Van Persie Hatrick! Fuck yeah!
HAHAH
RVP I FORGIVE FOR THAT PEN FUCKING GOD
Yes yes yes!!!!!
Hat-trick
Kungfuck. Go back to the blue moon you moron
Norman-85 ……fuck off then…. cunt
@kungfoo
What if he cnt sort it out, what if he’s become oldschool living back in the dinosaur years where the game wasn’t used to having defensive midfielders, fuckin united man they did it CMON
Now lets just see it out…
I’m in Manchester United Heaven. Van persie, you fuckin beauty!!!
This club will give me a heart attack, why do this to me why?
Even if we played bad…we could win…but RVP…missed the penalty…i hate this…winning can give us new strenth…
van Persie saves us today. Complete shit performance.
@kungfoo
What if he cnt sort it out, what if he’s become oldschool living back in the dinosaur years where the game wasn’t used to having defensive midfielders, united did it again CMON
THANK GOD!
Relief. Who’ll remember the penalty now…
TONY BEE NICELY SAID, FUCK OFF 85!!!!
3 FUCKING POINTS!!!
The saints don’t go marching in I guess…ffs. RVP has saved our hides, and this United coaching staff should consider themselves lucky.
Fucking come on!!! I can’t believe it. Van Persie has got us out the shitter almost single handedly, and he can afford to miss a penalty!
and that’s the end of that…..typical Utd ..never say die ….
I’d try and make a clever comment but samuel has said everything I want to say.
A win is a win but We have to question ourself on our display !!!!! anyway come on UTD
Well done United!
Another come-back of note.
RVP LEGEND…but it painted over serious cracks today…however quality showed and that was rvp and im sorry but scholes is 10 times the player carrick is and as for u PROVERB il see u at anfield
RVP saved us, we were shit most of the game. SAF need to get this team in shape. Still very important to win without playing good, that is what champions do.
@samuel
I was thinking the same thing heart attack is right.
Nani Scholes Chico=3points…
Am sorry haters,RVP bursted your bubbles…..
Was that ever in doubt… My hearts gone mad! Get in.. Pheeeeeeeeeeeew
Well we left that a bit late but thats y we love them nothing boring about Utd ever
Prolapsed colon……….
@kungfoo
This is united we never given
You moron wrote us off, now stick this to you asshole you toilet bug
Anybody who slated off United/Ferguson/calling us a disgrace leave now!!!!
Correction
‘Never give up’
RVP bubble buster.
I just had a vangasm
Dread – i’m going to need a week to recover from this, i’m wrecked mentally. From looking hopeless to dragging a win out of nothing. We need to improve massively, i’m not going to do the obvious and pick on any player but we need to improve as a unit mate.
No fuck you tonybee, zibbie and the rest of your croanies on here – if you think that just because we scored two late goals to win the game that everything is alright then you ar a prick of the highest order – for four years we’ve had to put up with dross performances against lesser opposition but hey it’s all ok becuase we won, yeah right.
Play to the final whistle !!
I never get used to it, but this is typical Manchester United make us fans agony untill the whistle is blown but everytime it happens its the same awesome feeling comes, we will nevver give up!
Well done United turned out nice again.And I am sucking it up,
United4life.
I am going to re post my effort from two days ago in the reaction thread due soon,we’ll see if your view is still the same.
I can’t fucking believe RVP saved us like that. I am starting to understand how Arse felt last year. Absolutely horrible performance though. I am not complaining for the three points, but the performance was really bad. We will not win anything like that.
Whew, that was a close one. We can thank RVP for the 3 points. Hopefully with this game under their belts and a bit more practice time, Rio and Vidic can get back to being the potent duo they should be. Anyway, glad we got the 3 points – looks like I’ll be able to enjoy the rest of my day.
Great fightback lads. But we we’re outplayed for large chucks of that game, and conceding daft goals never helps. Still, I’ll take that sort of win every match, even if it kills me!
Well said sam. Good time for a Nat break.
Thank you RVP and a couple of other players. You did us proud today. The rest (including the manager), get your act together soon.
We played awful…but thats fergie time…jumped around like mad…what a player…tony,chicha&scholes were great…CUM ON we do what we want…
Keane99 – exactly, i think the adrenaline rush you get watching this club is one of the many things great about united. We always make it hard for ourselves.
And I have a question. DDG was publically axed over one mistake right? Yet Evra keeps startiung every single game. Words fail me.
I want to be happy for the win, but other than Van Persie’s lethal finishing, I am not seeing a lot of positives for the future.
Big 3 points. Wow time off will help. Then when Rooney comes back, I see him in the LW position pinching in as well but intertwining with RVP and Kagawa.
Carrick was way off today, he plays into a season always has.
3 points is all good!
Carrick to get time at CM with England. That helps.
Well ,Thats why we love united ! Van persie made up for the penalty goof up . but top class striker , and clinical finished ! the header for the third was brilliant. Lot of negative comments , taking shit and seriously we need to be pragmatic. This defense hasnt played together for long , hell they didnt have a preseason together. And moreover its a new team , new formation and style of play which will take few games to gel and once it does it would do us good. little more patience is require. some of the comments i above were like scousers talk after every game
RVP giving Scholes man of the match – class
Van Persie plays homage to Scholes, I love this guy already!

Start my fucking boy Hernandez next time and once again thank God for ROBIN van PERSIE.
Sir Alex reckons:
“We changed strip at half time and got fined 10,000 pounds for it. The best 10,000 pounds I’ve ever spent.”
Class is permanent and scholesy and nani showed they are purely that. Van persie did the job but the other two brought the edge that was missing earlier. Have to say i was looking forward to carrick and cleverley playing together and maybe its too early but it didn’t look that promising. Really hope to be proven wrong there, but it just seemed that anderson provides the sort of directness and physicality that complements cleverley moving forward. Surprising performance by kagawa, who seemed to be unsure upfront. Otherwise defensively it will take a couple of games for rio and vidic to get back upto speed so should make some allowance for that, but evra remains a concern defensively. Same old, same old in a way with kagawa underwhelming but we got the three points and thats what counts. Lets remember city barely managed to get away with the win here as well, and they didn’t have all the injury baggage in defense.
How fucking pathetic are people becoming these days? United played below standards but by God, have some respect for the opponents and give credit to both squads. Manchester United is the main scalp for all these newly promoted sides and when united come to town, it’s mayhem and it’ll never be easy. Yes there are issues to sort out, but every team is going through this. United don’t play against shadows and slating Sir Alex and the players when it goes to shit sometimes may be justified, but don’t put yourself on a fucking soapbox and proclaim you know all and this and that is wrong, etc. Congratulations to SAF and the squad for believing and getting three points.

Bang on my friend…im sick of ppl covering over the true problems…we won the game through 1 mans brilliance simple as that…why was de gea dropped? Was does carrick constantly get the nod! We only came good when the manager reverted to the 4 4 2 that we all no and he played the players in tge right positions….i hope to god he doesnt make the same mistakes continuesly or we are doomed as far as the season goes
bottom line, our subs were better than theirs. We did not have a good enforcer in midfield, Maybe Kagawa we saw against Fulham was replaced by his twin brother, cause it sure was not the same player. Welbeck was (for the third time) not contributing much, not creating danger, not running inside when he should, just passing the ball to the nearest player. For those of us who want to get rid of Nani, I hope you realize what he can give to the team, not only covering for Evra (why is Fabio on loan btw??) but giving Scholes a good option on his left. Finally, when in need of a goal we need two finishers. Chicharito gave both CBs hell with his runs.). Van Parsie was RVP, and one last word, Valencia was today my ray of hope for 90 minutes.
That was one hell of a match, man utd a disgrace?
Fuck me, that’s one hell of a brilliant club
How many people jumped up and down after that header, its fantastic a club
There are not many if one like it ever existed
The play was poor, but fans like you who only show up to bash at everything about united is simply not welcomed here
good god theres some complaining in here.. norman-85 and kungfoo seriously fuck off ay. you both talk so much shit.
What a differamce that we ginger fucker mad…always has been quality
.A certain CedarsDevil dies of RVP induced orgasm. United we love thee but oh dear…you won’t be the death of me. *wipes sweat*
somebody might wanna tell our dear hero its man united not manu hahaha, nonetheless, RVP FTW
All of you have made really good points, but have missed the most glaring question facing this great club.
So have we finally exorcised the curse of the white jersey
Matt
Watever its my first time ive ever complained go through my threads over the last year or so…ppl are entitled to there opinions thats why rep of manc is so good not because nobs just come on here and say united are awsome and fergie is god bla bla bla….anyways im off
Costas.
De Gea was and deserved to be dropped as for Evra I was complaining for a good chunk of last season about him not being dropped but he was Captain and that’s why it didn’t happen.It will this season count on it .
Right, I’ve calmed down a bit now, but just a bit. That was dross – until Scholes and even until Chicarito came on, we had no ideas, did not create space, could not break down a stubborn defence, where slow to close down, fell asleep at the back and did not look recognisable as a Manchester United team – yes it is early season and we are away to a newly promoted team playing in their cup final – but we are Manchester United – we should be used to this by now and be prepared for it – the performance today indicates that something is not right in our preparation for these games. I could not summise my earlier comment any more than putting it as I felt at the time – did I say that Fergie should be sacked or leave – No, did I slag off any individual player – No, did I direct my anger at the person who is responsible for this type of performance – Yes. Ferguson is the manager of the club andtherefore ultimately responsible for his team (both on th epitch and his backroom team) and their performances – so who should be the person to sort this awful continuing mess out? – Ferguson. So tonybee, zibby et all – I am not a cunt – I am entitled to vent my anger at the person who created this and many other sub-standard performance over the last 4 years – the person who dropped Berbatov for teh Champions League final for a not-fit Owen, the person who has continually selected Carrick, despite his numerous costly mistakes, the person who decided that we should not attack our only contenders for the title last year thus costing us the title. If this truly is a forum for dscussion on all things United then you have to accept that it is not all rosie to all people just now and we are getting more and more angry with it – we have too many average players doing average performances (Carrick I have already mentioned, but as others hae alluded to, Evra, Nani blows hot and cold, Wellbeck has the balance of a new-born foal). I am not a plastic fan – I have followed this club for 38 years, so I am not a glory hunter either – but the passion that existed in some of our less successful teams in the 70′s and 80′s is gone – to finish with all I will say is that I expect our playesto put a fucking tackle in now and again, to not continually drop back and invite the opposition on to us for most of the game and to make sure that the appropriate defender is marking the appropriate attacker (Carrick v Felaini, Da Silva v Lambert when Vidic and Ferdinand where available respectively) – ti’s not rocket science.
@Parry
Sorry, can’t agree on the De Gea thing. I was the one that wanted him dropped this time last year until he was accustomed to his new envrironment. But since February, he’s been pretty solid. His saves in our last 2 games helped immensely. He did mess up for Fulham’s 2nd, but axing him just for that? Seems extreme to me.
I hope you are right about Evra. I’ve waited for him to snap out of his hibernation, but it doesn’t seem like happening. I was impressed when Rafael learned from the Lambert goal and headed clear in a similar situation in the 2nd half. Pat keeps making mistakes without learning from them.
Costas.
But he was dropped last year and only got back in because of Lindegaard had a sprained ankle.I would like to know how many goals have been conceded from crosses/free kicks taken on our right side as opposed to the left,Evra’s side.Not many I would imagine when Rafael is playing as it is rare he is posted missing during the oppositions attacks.
What ever tactics or formation fergie is using i don’t fucking care
Why the fuck is hernandez not starting before welbeck
hernandez changed the tempo of the game with pace and distrupt their 2-central back, they’re are following him around which open the box for RVP and other united player to come in
DON’T BENCH THAT GUY AGAIN FERGIE
Fergie is giving flamy excuses about de gea
He just want to tell us he got å knock
When was the last time he dropped someone cos of mistake?
He was furious of FA abt young injury, so to say de gea is injured give othem teams some egde
De gea was injured!!not dropped cos of mistake! FACT!!!
@norman 85
You have some very valid points but its not the points you make its the way u make them I’m like u I don’t rate rene and phelan as coaches since carlos left I think the standard of football we play has droped but saf is a god to me and to most people on here so slaging him off won’t go down well and people will turn their frustrations on you. The manager doesn’t send the players out to play shit and were not right that is plain to c but give it some time before u start makeing judgement on the team and manager as a whole but also keep making ur points on here just think before you type don’t let the frustration get to u.
I’ve been a follower of this blog for nearly 2 years now and thought it was about time I contributed, so…
Hello all! I hope this blog continues to flourish and grow so we can all share, discuss, argue, fascinate, imagine, dream etc etc about our wonderful club.
In regards to the game today, I must admit that seeing Fergies’ team sheet didn’t fill me with much confidence. This is mainly due to the Cleverley-Carrick dynamic. I think, and I know there are others out there who agree, that this midfield combo will not serve us well throughout the season. Now this isn’t a knock on either player but simply that their abilities as a 2-some don’t seem to compliment one another. Ando- Clev, Scholes, Carrick (of the options currently available) would probably be the better midfield for a game like this, away from Old Trafford, where the opposition will pressure high up the pitch and try to expose the lightweight midfield we have. Ando throws himself around and breaks up play through any means necessary. Please don’t attack me with “what lightweight midfield?” or “oh, not another midfield weakness comment”. I think we have a good midfield but that Fergie needs to figure out his pairings. Maybe we will see this come to fruition as the season progresses.
Also, dropping De Gea didn’t really make sense. Lindeegard was brought in to counter Southamptons’ aerial threat but we ended up conceding 2 headed goals anyway. I agree with all people on ROM thinking that chopping and changing goalkeepers for each particular game will just cause problems. I hope that Rafa doesn’t take the blunt of the blame today either.
However, in the end we got the 3 points and the main positive was RVP getting his hat trick, making up for his foolish penalty. I love to see those penos smashed into the net, especially when a goal down!
Anyway, if anyone’s read this thanks for taking the time to even bother reading this. Hopefully after the 3 pussycats international week we’ll all be able to celebrate a win without suffering strokes!
TK – great comment, and welcome to the write side RoM!
Fair comment on the midfield, the pairings you suggest are popularly held on RoM to likely be the best combinations. I’d even suggest that we have learnt that from SAF, via his selections. He will have seen the value and balance that they bring.
Knowing who works well together is a different kettle of fish to selecting a starting 11 for a specific match. There are literally hundreds of factors that we don’t have to juggle when choosing our line-ups. We take a bit of knowledge, some gut feel, a fair bit of experience, throw in a dash of our latest bugbear, and viola! The perfect horses-for-courses team.
I don’t know why Sir Alex chose the less travelled course by announcing that de Gea’s omission was because he made a mistake. My guess is that he’s injured, or has to have further eye-surgery. Hey, that doesn’t make sense! Exactly. Not to me or you or any manager in the Premiership predicting who starts when.
