    Is this really the first? The first time I have ever gotten in this quickly and the first time to get first. Better stop blabbering on or someone else will get in…
    FIRST!

  2. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    VDS
    Rafael – Vida – Smalling – Evra
    Nani – Ando – Carrick – Rooney
    Berba – Hernandez

  3. Ulster Red says:

    have i missed something or do people get a prize for commenting first??
    like a trip to the moon or something

  4. Costas says:

    VDS; Rafael Smalling Vidic Evra; Scholes Anderson Fletcher; Nani Rooney Berbatov

    Official line up

  5. willierednut says:

    Is that the team cow?

  6. Costas says:

    Damn, I got 9 out of 11. I hope we don’t miss Rio. Big test for Smalling.

  7. Costas says:

    You know, in a game like this, I might have gone with Brown at center back due to his experience, but….

    Surprised Giggsy didn’t start.

  8. Costas says:

    Sorry. Correction! Gibson starts instead of Ando

    VDS; Rafael Smalling Vidic Evra; Scholes Gibson Fletcher; Nani Rooney Berbatov

  9. Costas says:

    Subs: Lindegaard, Owen, Anderson, Giggs, Hernandez, Fabio, Evans

    Poor Wes.

  10. willierednut says:

    FFS Costas lol.

  11. TonyBee says:

    ABU Andy Gray been sacked by skysports for being a dirty cunt……

  12. Mickjk says:

    Robbie savage and steve mcmanaman, Christ. ABUESPN. Can any one guess where Andy gray will end up. .

  13. Ulster Red says:

    anyone explain to me why its a half 7 k/o?

  14. Costas says:

    Andy Gray for MUTV!

    @willie

    Sorry mate. Twitter was a twatter today, lol.

    Ando should have started imo.

  15. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    yeah pity Wes.. looks like he has played his last game for us.. or at least his future is certain..

    i also got 9 out of 11 lol

  16. willierednut says:

    TonyBee – It’s not all good news mate, fucking Jamie bland Redknapp will probably get the gig now!

    @Costas lol, you got there eventually.

  17. manutdjo says:

    Starting XI: VDS; Rafael, Smalling, Vidic, Evra; Scholes, Gibson, Fletcher; Nani Rooney Berbatov

    Subs: Lindegaard, Owen, Anderson, Giggs, Hernandez, Fabio, Evans

  18. Costas says:

    Now it’s 8 for me. Damn Gibson, lol.

  19. Colbert says:

    Gibson had one of his best matches in a United shirt against Birmingham. They weren’t a match for us but at least he didn’t lose control of midfield like he usually does. That being said, I fully expect him to turn on the shit switch tonight.

  20. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    ooopsssie 8 too here.. forgot about Gibson.

    anybody for Rooney scoring today? PKs dont count!

  21. parryheid says:

    To work boys,no messing about now.

  22. maba723 says:

    Rooney for a hat-trick today, Prediction 4-1

  23. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    em on another thought, lets not get too far ahead of ourselves. Blackpool is really strong at home.

  24. berbatunday says:

    darn my first oficial prediction, so close got 9/11
    l expected giggs to start and not gibbo plus l expected evans not smalling

  25. smartalex says:

    9 out of 11, but I thought 4-5-1. Wonder how we’ll set up, Rooney left wing or 4-4-2.

  26. willierednut says:

    Colbert – I hope he takes a shit before he goes on the pitch mate.

  27. Xyth says:

    Another performance like the one on last Saturday will do nicely!

    Come-on lads lets make that rent boy cunt eat his words!

  28. berbatunday says:

    hoping for a 4-3-3 with this line up, chico to come on and score, u can put ur mortgage on it

  29. Colbert says:

    @willierednut

    Zing! :)

  30. Orez says:

    We need these 3 points. Chnace for us to open a lead in the top. Out away form sucks but this is a winable game. Will be able to watch the second half during my lunch :) .

  31. ibrza says:

    fletcher out on the left or 4-5-1 with Rooney on the left?

  32. manutdjo says:

    A 4-3-3 Formation tonight

    VDS
    Rafael Smalling Vidic Evra
    Scholes Gibson Fletcher
    Nani Rooney Berbatov

  33. Costas says:

    Maybe 4-4-2 with Fletch on the right, otherwise 4-5-1 with Rooney on the left I feel.

  34. fergie is the boss says:

    it is annoying its another unbalanced 11 away from home, fergie may is well play a 2 has fletcher’s form is a little worry especially to be stuck out wide, add the fact fletcher is no hargreaves who can drive down the right when he was fit. and rooney or berbatov have to play wide, making it a very annoying 11. It is a shame ferdinand is unfit but atleast scholes is playing to start creating the passing and holding onto the ball better

  35. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    if we really go for 4-5-1 with Berba lone striker, i think this is a new sign – SAF is putting more trust in Berba.

    Rooney have been our lone striker 90% of the time we play 4-5-1.

    I think it’s either 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, but 4-4-2 is more likely with Ando on the left just behind Rooney.

  36. ibrza says:

    i dont think Nani will be on the left, plays better on the right cutting in. i feel like we will need one of his goals today. gonna be a scrappy 0-1 or 1-2 to UNITED!

  37. xol says:

    ahh went for 0 but got 4 right.

  38. tuts004 says:

    Why Gibbo??? We needed Ando in there with Scholsey… But hey SAF knows better… lets hope for a win and another Berba hattrick along with a Roo goal… GGMU!!!!!!!!!

  39. fergie is the boss says:

    still it annoys me why fergie is playing square pegs in round holes, it would have made sense play evra wide left. Stick oshea at LB and keep nani on the right

  40. Costas says:

    @FITB

    Yeah it will be a bit unbalanced until Park and Tony V get back, meaning Rooney plays in the center. My worry for today is Rio, Carrick and Ando’s absences. We need a strong core to control the game.

  41. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    who has some tangerines? i wanna squash some and make a glass of tangerine juice..

  42. hitz says:

    considering blackool’s defence, gibbo will have a licence to shoot and fletch will guard back 4 .. thats how I can see Gibbo’s inclusion ahead of Ando ..

    come on United!!

  43. fergie is the boss says:

    MyCowIsTheBest – yes but he should play to your inform strikers strengths, it was done with ronaldo 08 rooney 2010. Berbatov I have yet to see it done by fergie especially away from home, he is a 442 striker so you play 442.

  44. tuts004 says:

    Who are playing in the wings?? Nani is one, who is the other one???

  45. Utd4life says:

    Surprised to see Gibbo starting..Big game for him to prove his doubters wrong..

    Think we going to line up 4-3-3..

    VDS

    Rafael Smalling Vidic Evra

    Gibbo Scholes Fletcher

    Rooney Berba Nani

    lack of width is gonna cause us problems..1-0 to Utd..

  46. King Eric says:

    Fuck me lads whats up with you? If THIS line up cannot beat Blackpool then I give up. A very strong team.

    As for Andy Gray the man is an abu cunt but he is Sky. Won’t be the same for me. It will now be Alan Smith probably who is alright. As long as its not tightpants Redknapp or fucking dipper Beglin from ITV.

  47. fergie is the boss says:

    Costas – rio yes it is a worry lets see if smallen is really up to the task, carrick and anderson na they protect the defence but do not create enough going forward, they do not control the game enough. We will see how rusty scholes is tonight, but if he plays well we will see a better united. We were an awesome attacking machine earlier in the season has scholes was fit then

  48. willierednut says:

    I just hope we don’t get bogged down in the medows.

  49. King Eric says:

    Fletch can easily do a job on right lads. Gibbo may get that role though. Anyway as we know we never stay in positions they switch all over the park.

  50. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    @FITB yup it is very unlikely for Rooney to play as a left wing/midfielder tonight. But he may play as inside left, if we dig back old school tactics hehe..

    I can see we are going to concentrate attacking from our right side. Who is ‘Pool’s left back?

  51. dumbo says:

    Got a beef wiv that smartalex, wot dicks round clev like, scene im?

  52. willierednut says:

    King Eric – Same here mate. He was a closet dipper, but he knew his stuff. Now Redknapp? That’s a different matter.

  53. fergie is the boss says:

    King Eric – the premiership is unpridictable, and united’s away form is very dodgy. So I would not say we will win, it does frustrate me we are not playing to berbatovs strengths, which means stick to a formation that suits berbatov not a formation that suits an out of form wayne rooney

  54. GoatinaUnitedShirt says:

    MyCowIsTheBest – you missed a great thread “Gill: We’re Worth…..” You’d feel right at home.

  55. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    @king eric honestly i am glad Gibbo is starting. He needs this. No disrespect, but this is considered one of the easier ties.

    I hoped Fergie would surprise me by starting Fabio..

  56. bryanrobson's my hero says:

    f me. gibson and fletcher. two of the crappest players around, in the nicky butt mold. we’ll struggle tonight.
    never understand why fergie liked butt and now likes the donkeys fletcher and gibson

  57. Vidic Is Titanium says:

    @Ulsterred at 18:32
    A trip to the moon for commenting first. No that is where anyone who cares whether they get in there first or not already lives.
    now over to myp2p.eu to watch the thing on sopcast

  58. ole20 says:

    Is this game being shown on sky? If not has anyone got a link for game.

    cheers in advance!

  59. fergie is the boss says:

    MyCowIsTheBest – I would rather fergie stick evra at LW, than rooney who evra would be allot more effective than rooney at LW. If rooney is ever gonna score and recapture his form, do not play him LW. We will see the same thing has birmingham game, a team looking disjointed. Look at OT we play balanced teams and we sometimes crush sides. You can have the greatest 4 midfielders on the planet, but if 2 are out of position, the team will look poor

  60. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    @GoatinaUnitedShirt i read that thread.. Gill said “to be one of the leading clubs”. right now, WE ARE THE LEADING CLUB!!

    GLORY GLORY!

    i am getting pumped up

    but unfortunately, we are also leading in terms of debt… We used to brag “the only big club without debt”..

  61. willierednut says:

    @Vidic Is titanium There’s no atmosphere up there mate.

  62. arminio says:

    I really, really don’t get why ando isn’t starting. Surely he could have just given gibson a run out against southampton instead of playing him today!

  63. jellybean says:

    anyone from india/bangladesh? is the game going to be a bit delayed on ESPN?

  64. Zibbie says:

    GO MAN UTD!!!!!!!!!!!
    COME ON ROONEY!!!!!!!! SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    WIn THE GAME IN HAND!!!!!!!!!!!

  65. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    @FITB i dont mind Evra or Fabio at LW, as long as one of them is there and the other one is at LB.

    I know if we groom Fabio into a LW, Bale will look sh*t.

    anyway let us just watch what Sir Alex’s plan is. He is the best after all.

  66. Costas says:

    @FITB

    I am worried about the midfielf because I’d prefer Ando and Carrick’s solid defensive display here. Rooney, Nani and Berb would take care of the rest. Now we have Scholes who could be a bit rusty, Gibson who’s still trying to find his feet and Fletch who’s form has been enigmatic. I hope they click well together.

  67. smartalex says:

    My posts all await moderation. Very sad.

  68. Vidic Is Titanium says:

    @Willierednut

    it is a bit dull up here I’ll give you that. Hardly any reds. Thats why I am posting on RoM and not actually at the game or in the boozer

  69. Costas says:

    Come on United!

  70. Zibbie says:

    jellybean, I’m in Dubuque Iowa land of milk and honey on the upper Mississippi river and Fox Soccer has it live on the local cable company. YES THE BEPL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    BAD NEWS IS i HAVE TO GO TO WORK AT 2, 30 MIN. INTO THE GAME.
    And yes I’m excited.
    I have followed the Chicago Bears my entire life, and get more worked up for A MAN UTD MATCH!!!!!!!!!

  71. ididnotzeeit says:

    Fergie rolling the dice, giving an opportunity to Gibson and Fletcher. Managerial genious? Shut’er down at the back lads, we’ll get out of here with all 3. 2-0 United, Berbatov keeps rolling!

  72. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    Get Stuck In, Lads!

  73. smartalex says:

    Come on United!

  74. RedScot says:

    Come on United, the time is nigh.My heart is going 10 to the Dozen.
    .
    For my mate………Hip Hip hoorah. :)
    Cmon you Reds.

  75. jellybean says:

    I wish there was an Iphone/Ipod Touch App for RoM. Phew they’re showing the game live, was worried when i didn’t see a pre-match on. Although some of the bile spewed by the so-called pundits like Shebby Sing, Steve McMahon and even Paul Parker shouldn’t be classified as “tactical analysis”. Earlier in the season, they were discussing why Utd was shipping so many goals. Would you believe the brilliant conclusion they came to was “the defense is not doing it’s job”!!! Really? Not that Utd were prone to losing the ball in midfield, or that our change back to 4-4-2 could have made us more prone to attacks, or maybe even that Rooney kept giving away the ball like it’s Christmas….anyway fuck those idiots, COME ON YOU REDS!

  76. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    wow white shirt!

  77. AceMace says:

    Well, I got 10/11 right when.. Mayb beginners luck? Really didn’t expect Gibson to start though… Thought Giggs was taken off early with this game in mind… Oh well, time for Gibson to prove doubters wrong, me included..

  78. Djunfitforwork says:

    Seems a good enough line up to me -even with the journeyman Gibson in there. 4-3-3 is ok by me also. Let’s just get the 3 points. Hernandez on the bench also -in case things go a bit pear-shaped.

  79. phillippooo bradiniho says:

    any good sopcast channels?

  80. Mangesh says:

    Can anyone please provide streaming link for the game?

  81. loughie21 - TPL says:

    anybody have a good sopcast channel for this match? english commentary if possible…

  82. ole20 says:

    This link is working well for me

    http://www.chavster.org/

  83. RedScot says:

    Charlie Adam has buggered his right arm, he will no be having a wank the night then,

  84. loughie21 - TPL says:

    apologies, just saw someone above asked!

  85. RedScot says:

    What a brilliant lay off for evera from Rooney, should have done better Patrice

  86. RedScot says:

    Jaysus when they are attacking they fire about 6 or seven players around the 18 yards box. Cheeky buggers.

  87. willierednut says:

    Dirty cunt Adam.

  88. RedScot says:

    Adam catches Patrice Evra with his Elbow.

  89. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    Charlie Adam should be banned for three games

  90. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    wow our ex-player…

  91. RedScot says:

    Who comes back to bite us in the Arse Cathcart. ffs

  92. willierednut says:

    Shocking marking.

  93. stretfordend_ryda says:

    wtf who would of predicted that?? i smell burnley away from last season comming along!

  94. TonyBee says:

    evening Redscot m8…. thought I’d better get on here and start shouting……..

  95. smartalex says:

    Come on United!!

  96. RedScot says:

    evening Tony, hope yer well buddie, Jaysus when they are attacking our back 4 they are over us like a rash.

  97. TonyBee says:

    COME ON YOU FUCKING REDS
    ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK….. and kick that cunt Adams in the bollocks for Evra’ elbow….fucking bastard

  98. Xyth says:

    I cannot believe we are being dominated by Blackpool! Come on lads some more compassion please!

  99. RedScot says:

    Jaysus Vidic almost score a spetacular own goal.
    Cmon united.
    WE ARE Playing with fire here

  100. willierednut says:

    FFs Vidic!

  101. Xyth says:

    We are living dangerously!!!

  102. RedScot says:

    Very Dangerously

  103. manutdisadream says:

    this games reminds me of a certain 4-0 bashing in the league cup… oh my, we realy have to wake up!

  104. milkywei says:

    seriously put anderson in, there’s is no one taking control in the middle, rooney always moving down to take cross and etc.

  105. MG says:

    Blackpool pleasure beach awaits us

    Please do not fuck this up reds – do not do it period

  106. TonyBee says:

    how is it our back four can play so well one day and then they play like they have never kicked a fucking football in their lives….. Jesus….. the mind boggles…

  107. willierednut says:

    Rooney up front at last.

  108. manutdisadream says:

    my god! this is bad, realy bad!

  109. RedScot says:

    This is a Mare at the back a huge deflection leaves Evds rooted and ball just glides past him.
    Cmon United. please .

  110. willierednut says:

    Vidic needs to tell Smalling to calm down.

  111. RedScot says:

    36 Minutes gone not one serious attempt to put the Blackpool goal under threat.
    I cant believe this.

  112. Xyth says:

    Our passing is shocking!

  113. vILHELM28 says:

    Gibson is abysmal, Scholes and Fletcher pretty close by.

  114. manutdisadream says:

    that nutmeg from Adam just riced his pricetag to £10000000000 to infinity and beyond ….

  115. dannysoya says:

    this is as bad as we’re gonna get this yearr. it;s been a horrible performance. we have to pick it up.

  116. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    Charlie Adam is making Nani look sh*t

  117. Xyth says:

    Is Nani ever going to learn to deliver a proper ball in the box?

  118. willierednut says:

    Come on reds! wakey wakey

  119. dannysoya says:

    gibson can’t even fucking control a damn ball. My God this is horrible. and why does smalling keep playing those long useless balls? COME ON FOR FUCK’S SAKE!!!

  120. RedScot says:

    First Attempt on goal, well risen Rafael.
    Cmon United.

  121. TonyBee says:

    berba’s control magnificent

  122. RedScot says:

    @ Willie, dont mention Wakey. lol

  123. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    i thought Gibson is doing ok, compared to Nani.

    Smalling is really showing his nervousness

  124. willierednut says:

    Really poor.

  125. RedScot says:

    Thats it Dj Campbell. FFs. Shite, crap defending

  126. shebangsthedrums says:

    WTF!!

  127. milkywei says:

    omfg 2 goals from corner

  128. Xyth says:

    Disaster!

  129. vILHELM28 says:

    One cannot expect to win with trash at the middle of the park. Football is simple that way.

  130. rat1p says:

    pathetic absolutely pathetic

  131. Vidic Is Titanium says:

    what is going on?
    the worst half I have seen so far

  132. TonyBee says:

    fucks sake….fancy losing your unbeaten streak to these cunts….
    problem is too many UTD players seem to get into the ‘its only Blackpool we will stuff them’ mode and it dont wash nowadays in the Prem league

  133. shebangsthedrums says:

    Scholes is a legend, but is having no impact in this game.

  134. Xyth says:

    We need two hair-driers at full power now!!!

  135. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    vILHELM28, I have no idea why fucking cunts like you even support Manchester United in the first fucking place. It’s people like you who get on my fucking nerves more than the poor performance that we have gotten in the first half so far.

    Anyways, not all is not lost and we have not played with a proper formation for much of the half. We’ll see how Sir Alex changes it and how it goes in the initial minutes of the second half.

  136. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    B.E.L.I.E.V.E

  137. MG says:

    Oh no – wasn’t expecting that at all

    Seriously no shame in losing but giving it away is just damn ridiculous

    JT said we are scared

    Why the fuck did any one pay attention to that fucker – shot yourselves in the foot United

    No good – no good at all

  138. milkywei says:

    right now we are making them look like fucking Barcelona

  139. vILHELM28 says:

    The only thing I can think of is that SAF is saving players for the FA cup, must be the most important competition this year.

  140. Jish Inc. says:

    shocking midfield. Utterly dismal. Useless. Fergie is out of his mind choosing gibson to start instead of ando. The team has no passion at all. Fuck this!! Scholes needs more games. I said beginning of the season that we need to ship out all the mid. Now I say let ando alone stay.

  141. willierednut says:

    Get it sorted Fergie! Nowhere near good enough.

  142. dannysoya says:

    OMG A HORROR SHOW!!!! that whole midfield is shocking INCLUDING SCHOLES!!! Darron Gibson should just get into that dressing room. take a nice long shower and head on home. why do we always put ourselves in these weird precarious positions away? COME ON UNITED!!!!

  143. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    I cant stop wondering why we bought Smalling and let go Craig Cathcart.

    I really hope Smalling can prove me wrong.

  144. slim says:

    wow, just had dinner and missed the first half; looks like i dodged a bullet, What the Fuck ?!

  145. RedScot says:

    .

    A Bitter in our Midst?

  146. Toby says:

    WTF is going on? The commentator is having an orgasm every time blackpool get the ball, doing my fucking head in.

    Hopefully we’ll turn it around. Get Ando and Giggs on, Gibson and fletcher off. They’re not up for it and Gibson shouldnt even be playing for United.

    COME ONNN

  147. Damu says:

    Fergie fix up get that Gibshit out , mr. ambition too off for chicharito, midfield is soo wack scholes looks lost

  148. musvn says:

    Adam was too good for Fletch I think. Gibson was not good enough for the game. I would like to see at least 2 changes second half: Giggs and Anderson. Owen or Chicharito to spare last 15-20 depends how it goes

  149. Costas says:

    Crap. Utter crap.

    Scholes and Gibson off. Ando and Giggs on.

  150. AK says:

    carrick is greatly missed…

  151. Mikael says:

    I think Fergie needs to tell the lads that the game has startet!

    Blackpool is pressing like fuck and the pitch seems so small that United can’t find any space. I think we need Chicha and Giggs brought on. Giggs for Gibbo now and wait a little with Chicha… his speed will tear them up.

    BELIEVE!

  152. ugenius says:

    United to win 4-2

  153. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    i dont know i think at least Gibson tried and battled. Nani?

  154. Costas says:

    Mind you, if I could, I’d swap Nani and Fletch too, but we can’t make 4 substitutions and we don’t have anyone better on the bench…

  155. Neil says:

    Maybe we can buy Adam at the half and he can play for us in the second half. He looks better than anyone we have today

  156. Costas says:

    @AK

    Looks like it.

  157. Mikael says:

    Costas: Yeah… Scholes been anonymous. He can’t keep up with the pressure it seems but Gibbo has been awfull

  158. Xyth says:

    This is worse than West Ham game!!!!!

    It looks like we do not want the league title after all. This must be the worst performance by a United first team in a long long time.

    We cannot defend corners, we can pass, no creativity, no passion, no clue.

    Giggsy and Ando for Gibson e Scholesy! Now even a draw looks like a good result. Fucking hell!!!

  159. keano says:

    wtf was that? where is the fucking passion? these are blackpool. wtf wtf

  160. United says:

    SAF got it horribly wrong and the players are shite. Rooney is NOT a winger, nor is Gibson. Get giggs in and get Gibson a taxi. To get that dominated and not do anything about it beggars belief. The decision to put Gibson on the wing just made things worse and we have no cover in midfiled. I fear that this is west ham part 2. Brace yourselves…

  161. Jeefsheadon says:

    Fletcher and gibson should never wear the shirt again what a disgrace. Rooney nani and evra need to up their game big time.

  162. Keanesmagichat says:

    Gibbo off ando on..halftime…

  163. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    We need Ando. Ando is the player that always sh*ts on our opponents’ playmakers.

  164. Joel says:

    Giggs and Ando, our two stand-out performers in midfield last game. Neither starts. Why?

  165. Keyser Soze says:

    Gibson out, please, no way long shots could keep him in the team for any Prem game. I actually think Smalling is doing lot better than Vida and Paddy, at least composure-wise. Scholes is rusty, at best, but he’s not helped by total lack of support around him, our midfield is all over the place!

    That said, I’m sure we’ll get a response in the 2nd half, you don’t just throw that form out the window, and SAF will be the first to point that out

  166. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Ya know it’s just funny how I criticize the la liga defending and marking in my previous post, and guess what we do today? That’s terrible. Nonnonnonob. I’m typing rubbish.imgoingmad mode here. Arghag

  167. Costas says:

    The commentators were talking about Fergie getting the hairdryer out, but he got the first XI wrong. With our away record as it is, I don’t get why we have to put an experimental side like that out there.

  168. Vidic Is Titanium says:

    not over yet. only half time.
    big changes needed. if blackpool can score two in one half against united, we can score three in one half against blackpool

    get it sorted out lads. gibson off, he got his chance, isn’t taking it in this half. get someone else on. anderson maybe.
    get giggs on. for anyone. we still need you giggsy

  169. BerbaGod says:

    Our poor away form continues.

  170. vILHELM28 says:

    It’s weird Balaji isnt it, I have been supporting this team for almost 30 years and yes, never ever seen a weaker midfield. Its true. Why Ando is saved is beond me and I’ll stand for that any day of the week.

  171. MKRed says:

    it’s that bloody white strip…we wore it when we lost at w ham and we haven’t won in t league in it!!!

  172. willierednut says:

    See the importance of Rio?

  173. Xyth says:

    Can this team do a second half like the one at Tottenham all those years ago?

    I suppose this is too much to ask of this lot!

  174. berbatov9 says:

    @milkywe

    beat me to it…we make them look like fucking barcelona….they even make vidic struggle….
    seriously ferguson should start bench fletcher now..something with him is very wrong this season…

  175. Passe says:

    So Fa Cup is our top priority and Rio has been saved for that massive game against a pub team?

  176. Anakin_Skywalker says:

    Flabbergasted with our midfield selection today.
    Where’s Ando & Giggs that were instrumental against Birmingham?

    To make it worst the whole defend looks nervous & shaky. Damn!

  177. RedScot says:

    Ohhhh No, time to go for a drink. Robbie “Nob Head” Savage SAYING “Man United have been pathetic.No you are Pathetic you tosser, away back and shove it up a Ram. Cunt

  178. Twisted Fatboy says:

    Don’t know what you’re all talking about, Gibson had a great flick on for the second. Think I’d take Hargreaves with a prosthetic right now.

  179. Red Typhoon says:

    ALL I CAN SAY IS FUCK GIBBO AND FLETCHERRRRRRRR!! They are fucking hopeless…not a single fucking bone of creativity in their fucking head!! What the hell was fletcher doing when blackpool scored the second..!!! He was just fucking looking at the ball fly pass!! We are not playing with any urgency. We are always a second slower to the ball…what the fuck!!! They are not creative midfielders ..why in the hell fergie is playing both of them together..i really cannot get it!!! FFS..PLS TURN IT AROUND IN THE 2ND HALF!!! This is making me fucking LIVID!!!

  180. Costas says:

    @willie

    Well he is not going to play any game. I am seeing the importance of Wes as a centre back though..

    @BerbaGod

    Yeah same old story.

  181. Falsafa says:

    Our defending tonite has been shite today. Especially Pat. Scholesy, Gibbo, Fletch, my God!

    But we are still United. Ando and Giggs in at the half.

  182. Doghouse says:

    I think our wide players need to be equipped with tracked vehicles to get through all the mud on those wings. It’s an insanely mushy pitch down the flanks, very difficult to move fast or control the ball. This would have been a hard game if we played well, but we’re looking awful, we’re two goals down and to win this we’d need to be both brilliant and lucky, while needing Blackpool to implode.

    It’s not over to the whistle, we were this bad against Villa and still took a point. But I’m not holding out much hope.

  183. fergie is the boss says:

    Xyth – , just not good enough away from home, and I kept harping on this concern. The midfield is gonna be united’s achilies heel and the lack of depth out wide. I said this you can have the 4 greatest midfielders in the world, but if 2 are out of position the team will look poor. having rooney and gibson out wide just sums up the real problems in midfield and the wide positions. Rooney berbatov and nani they seem to go missing in any away game now

  184. Chicharito14 says:

    WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nani was terrible. and we were sloppy too.fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  185. AK says:

    yup the center midfield seems to be the problem. otherwise nani would be having his away. ando should come on at some point along with giggs. ball should be going to nani more often and he needs fix up his crossing at the same time.

  186. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Nah uh. Nah uh.ongoing mad. I’ve just muted the commentary and the half time analysis. The ABUness is KILLING me. It’s like they so badly want us to lose. Honestly I get so angry and think I can murder the tv right b

  187. smartalex says:

    The 11 on the pitch need to stay there for 15 minutes, and score 1.
    Then we can take this game back.
    To make our changes now plays into Holloway’s hands.

  188. slim says:

    okay my over the top reaction to this;win the game,win the league.

  189. ancha says:

    all the cockney cunts…start coming on to post after one terrible half…

    Jish Inc. ” Fergie out of his mind”..LOL is he mate…we better get him sacked and post you as long term manager fuck off…this is not football manager..get fucking grip

    vILHELM28 ” with shit in midfield”…scholes SHIT fletcher(scotland captiaon) SHIT gibson SHIT(had the only proper shot on target of the first half)…FUCKOFF

    @tony Bee at 20:18

    completely agree with you…most of our guys…started off the game thinking that it would be a ride in the park…and the main problem is our passing never clicked…Evra is playing as though he is in some post retirement exhibition match… fletch n Scholesy has to improve a lot…i would im most disappointed with fletch…i hope he improves in second half
    As we have shifted to 442…there is no point of playing gibbo there….get hernandez on and put rooney back on left…berba in the hole

  190. dannysoya says:

    and no one has called out evra so let me be the first to do so. WTF WAS EVRA DOING OUT THERE? he was NEVER in position they used his wing the most. if this is how evra is goin to keep playing then we need to do a check up on him. FUCKING HORRIBLE!!!! same for Nani who is starting to piss me off.

  191. wayne says:

    that pitch looks deader than fuck hard to pass on that,going in utd should’ve realised blackpool would be pumped biggest game of their lives including the manager.the pitch negates our skill and their players just want it more.

  192. fergie is the boss says:

    not playing to berbatovs strengths is another thing that really gets on my nerves

  193. vILHELM28 says:

    Ofc United can turn the game around, but changes need to be made and at least one striker needs to be higher up in the field.

  194. Tomo1982 says:

    Fuck me please god let us hammer them second half, can’t bare to hear any more from that pair of smarmy pricks on ESPN – What a fucking unprofessional set up this show is.

    ack on the pitch, get Ando on 2nd half please, surely people are realising that our best performances this season have been when he has started and Fletch hasn’t.

    Not gonna slag him off too much, but needs a bit of time on the bench to get his head right.

    Also how many times is Paddy getting caught out of position?

    Just shows you what a job Rio does of organising the defence

  195. willierednut says:

    Take Rio out of that team, and we look shoddy. I predicted a 4 2 win for United anyway.

  196. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    this is all Park’s fault! because he is not here!

  197. Red Typhoon says:

    Pls bring giggsy and ando on…turn things around lads!! rooney getting frustrated in the first half..body language is not right..he should cut that out..!!

  198. fergie is the boss says:

    ancha – it has been like this all fucking season. The passing not clicking, it is like watching a bad movie

  199. The Fly says:

    this is going to end up 5-0.

    Why Gibson and Fletcher rather than Ando or Giggsy. Pointless.

  200. Costas says:

    Ando should have started for me. We don’t look the same without him in recent months.

    Come on United. Please.

  201. Dela says:

    This is exactly why this fixture has been an uncomfortable wait for me for the past while. It just had problems written all over it. Then when I knew Rio and Carrick were out… it got worse, tho to be fair to Smalling I can’t blame him particularly for anything… but Darren Gibson… geez son you have missed some _OBVIOUS_ passes when you’ve gotten into possession.

  202. ancha says:

    we cant blame either nani or rooney,berba…as our midfield was completely non existent ..and our forwards never got in to the game

  203. Lous_chippy says:

    fuck me reds sort it out

  204. RedScot says:

    Cmon United , Giggsy on.

  205. smartalex says:

    Come on United!!!

  206. ancha says:

    FITB

    it wasnt this bad…the whole season…at times we were good but not great….but this is an all time low…in the last i cant remember when…we are not able to string more than 4 or 5 passes…

  207. whitefieldred says:

    this is feckin painful!! get Gibson and Fletcher off right now and get Anderson and Giggs on, stick Anderson on that gimp Adam, and let Giggs hug the touchline.

    Come on Reds! FFS!

  208. Lous_chippy says:

    Jesus it could of been 4

  209. RedScot says:

    Och Come on mate Nani what the fuck is wrong tonight, totally missed the ball, balance all wrong.
    .
    Cmon United

  210. TonyBee says:

    Nani you useless cunt….(me shouting at him makes him score)

  211. Lous_chippy says:

    come on bit of pride boys

  212. nani4ever says:

    no suprise when team sheet a saw gibson i knew were in for a long day, and with us playin a 4-3-3/4-5-1 with rooney on the left which by now if everyone dosnt realize never works, an even worst switchin to a 4-4-2 with gibson an the left wing (are u kidding me, was that fucking joke)

  213. RedScot says:

    Brilliant tackle Bye Rafael, shoulder charge. Great

  214. Troy says:

    Gibson is a joke, always has been a joke
    Fletcher has been fucking crap this season
    Scholes looks very rusty
    No control in midfield, no decent service to our forwards, no shield in front of our defenders
    Get Anderson on
    Still time to make this right

  215. ancha says:

    FITB
    and you know what….if i say its carrick who we are missing here….then some of them on here who are asking why carrick is still not sold, will understand how good he is at screening the defence and making interceptions take control of possession(even if it requires to make a side pass or a back pass)…after looking at first half it feels like luxury to have such a player available ( he is not even on the bench :( )

  216. ancha says:

    @nani4ever

    Are you fucking retard…how come playing a certain player even though he is terrible and has zero talent justify a TEAM playing in such a horrible fashion…

  217. smartalex says:

    Let’s score United!

  218. Xyth says:

    Fletch has become a liability!

  219. willierednut says:

    Making Adam look like Messi.

  220. RedScot says:

    Kingston has fucked his cartlidge, our life line! Well here is hoping, lol

  221. slim says:

    we need a goal like Right Now

  222. ancha says:

    and thats one pathetic pitch they have….

  223. TonyBee says:

    wonder if I shout at all of them they might perform better……

  224. milkywei says:

    Fabio just broke the goal keepers leg with the shot

  225. Lous_chippy says:

    were playing like we’ve only just met in the changing rooms before kickoff

  226. RedScot says:

    Just fire some shots at Kingston now from anywhere, step up anybody, please

  227. Hello says:

    TeeHee

  228. vILHELM28 says:

    Ancha, you being a person on this board calling people who disagree with you foul names – consider this:

    Why is the middle of the field called the engine room? Is it because the central midfielder dictates both the offense and defence? And yes I agree, Carrick is missed as well as Ando.

  229. RedScot says:

    @ Tony I cant shout any louder than i am, ma fucking throat is hoarse.
    CMON UNITED.

  230. willierednut says:

    Take Fletch off and bring Ando on FFS!

  231. Hello says:

    That pitch is just no good!!! Its got like… grass on it and that! Just shit!

  232. Hello says:

    Lets get ‘Ando’ on… he’ll save the day – the guys full of goals!!

  233. Mickjk says:

    We could do with ando

  234. TonyBee says:

    even mild mannered Giggsy is having a pop at Nani….he is playing in a daze….come on you prick start playing

  235. dannysoya says:

    WHY IS FLETCH ON THE FUCKING PITCH? ando come on. please. at least we are playing a bit better but our defence is totally open.

  236. RedScot says:

    Why do the Seasiders not sit back and defend there lead,its handsome and they are in control.
    Ohhh I remember the best form of defense is attack.

    Cmon United Attack them, we aint got nothing to loose now, only pride bye taking a mauling at the Seasiders. Go for it..
    ,
    Cmon United go for it more men forward.

  237. Lous_chippy says:

    oh ffs this is getting worse

  238. Hello says:

    Apple pie Sausage roll come on Ando get us a goal!!

  239. RedScot says:

    Rocket from Paul scholes we are uping the anti

  240. lawman10 says:

    come on fergie get this midfield off there shit

  241. redrider says:

  243. shebangsthedrums says:

    Come on little pea!

  244. RedScot says:

    Our new found talisman. ohhh dear, sign of the times Rooney off. Hmmmm

  245. shebangsthedrums says:

    Why Rooney? WTF?

  246. willierednut says:

    Rooney off for Hernandez.

  247. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Soley looking at this game-only Berba and Giggs seem like professional football players.

  248. Lous_chippy says:

    get fucking ando on

  249. Joel says:

    Why is Fletch still on the pitch? Simply woeful

  250. Xyth says:

    If we cannot beat teams like Blackpool, Birmingham, Bolton, Fulham and Sunderland away from home do we really deserve the title?

  251. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    CHICOOOOOOOOOO.kill me.that was bad luck

  252. smartalex says:

    Come on United!!!!!

  253. willierednut says:

    Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

  254. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    I will personally murder anybody that bashes Berba from now on. Serious.

  255. smartalex says:

    Berbatov!

  256. vILHELM28 says:

    Finally – go go go

  257. RedScot says:

    Dimitar Berbatov to the rescue, 19th of the season, hope springs eternally with him and Hernandez in the firing line. Magic.

    Cmon United

  258. Zelh says:

    BERBAGOAL!

  259. TonyBee says:

  265. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    yeah!!!!

    Chicharito!!!

  266. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    You see Nani, what good can come when you pass the ball. Now only if you did that more often, you would be one of the best in the world for sure!

  267. Drogahnus says:

    2-2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOO FOR THE WIN!!!!!!

  268. Chicharito14 says:

    yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

  269. musvn says:

  274. Troy says:

  275. milkywei says:

    omg im in looooveeeeeeeee

  276. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    We are HELLL LIVING ON OUR ATTACK cos the midfield is inexistent.

  277. Doghouse says:

    LITTLE PEA.

    WE ARE INVINCIBLE.

  278. shebangsthedrums says:

    Come on lads, lets get a winner.

  279. musvn says:

  280. Xyth says:

  281. lakee says:

    This Giggs is ridiculous :D

  282. willierednut says:

    Come on lads, nev er give uppppppppppppppppp

  283. in Sir Alex we trust says:

    well well, when the Master gets his tactics wrong, he somehow makes a stroke of genius bringing on giggs and hernendez for rooney and gibson.

    2-2 … GAME ON!

  284. willierednut says:

    Bad one for Rafael.

  285. mattbw7 says:

    I can just imagine all the City, Arse and Chelsea fans oh and Modric all gipping at the current score line, come on UTD lets make em spew thier beer!!!!!

  286. shebangsthedrums says:

    And they say women don’t know the offside rule!

  287. RedScot says:

    Rafael looks badly hurt, ohh no

  288. vILHELM28 says:

    Three united players been murdered in the face and the ref hasn’t blown his whistle once – interesting.

  289. dannysoya says:

    COME ON HAHAHA!!!!

  290. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    This can be premature but really if we’re winning this the MOM is definitely Giggs.

  291. united.george says:

    Oh no, no a good sign for rafael

  292. milkywei says:

    can’t stop admire the dedicaton and courage the twins putting into the team

  293. RedScot says:

    God Bless Rafael.I hope he is ok. dammit

  294. ancha says:

  302. mattbw7 says:

    I imagine its all precautionary with Rafael, He’s a tough little fucker.

    Come boys put a smile on his face and win this

  303. Raizzen says:

    Any good stream ? The first one got taken down. (chavster or something)

  304. RedScot says:

    Well said John Champion on ESPN, “The Blackpool supporters as respectfull as ever” Applauding as Rafael is carried of on a Stretcher. Class. unlike some Sky presenters

  305. TonyBee says:

    AM I BEING SEXIST IF I SAY I WANT TO FUCK THAT BALD HEADED LINSEMAN…..WONT GET THE FUCKING SACK WILL I…..WANT TO FUCK ON THE BACK OF HIS CUNTING HEAD WITH A BAT

  329. vILHELM28 says:

    Yeh Ancha, SAF saw the same thing didnt he and made the changes.

  330. willierednut says:

    10 minutes injury time lol.

  331. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Well, as a Berbatov supporter, I feel pretty vindicated after that (plus everything else this season also). Well, I can’t say that really after the other awesome things he has done, but some cunts who still can’t see what class this guy is are just blind and do not understand what football is all about.

  332. Chicharito14 says:

    10 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf

  333. utdforever says:

    missed the goal fucking stream went down.. was it a good goal?

  334. milkywei says:

    master plan Fergie !!! making blackpool think that they’re in charge! hahahahahah who’s laughing now !

  335. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    10 mins guys – What do you say, enough time for Berbatov to create a record and get the 4th hattrick of the season?

  336. james f says:

    Nobody will be talking about ‘Fergie time’, I suppose!

  337. cantonaaaaa says:

    We’re not arrogant… We’re just better than you… UNITED UNITED

  338. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    @ugenius hang on there mate! you maybe correct with your scoreline prediction!

  339. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Chico has a rubber head.rubber head. I’m going to go mental if I read or hear another bad word about Berba.

  340. Raizzen says:

    WE ARE MANCHESTER FCUKIN UNITED!

    Berba and Chica, I just couldn’t stop loving you guys. Muah muah muah

  341. cantonaaaaa says:

    Andy Townsend can kiss my ass

  342. RedScot says:

    @ Tony he has always been my Fantasy figure, Dimitar. Apart from a blow up doll.
    And the Whole Manchester United team, stored in my wardrobe. But hay, its a fantasy

  343. Raizzen says:

    Somebody ? Anybody ? a fcukin stream pls pls pls.

  344. SirRyanGiggs says:

    Chicha is pure class. just makes those old fashioned runs behind the back 4 that Rooney doesn’t. Great sub SAF.

  345. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Does anybody sense the terrible disappointment in the commentators voices?

  346. RedScot says:

    The Seasiders will not lie down though will they? God they have Spunk and fight.

  347. cantonaaaaa says:

    The commentator sounds like he wants to cry. Gets sooo excited when the get close to our box

  348. mattbw7 says:

    Posted on the forum we would get to 2-3, I know it was a bit optimistic at the time but we do have form.

    Wonder how many City fans where warming up to come on here after full time, fuck off you lurking bitter blue twats

  349. Raizzen says:

  364. in Sir Alex we trust says:

    the 2nd half alone must be one of the best 2nd half showings of the season!

    viva Berbatov!

  365. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Damn, watching Giggs produce that amazing run at 37 years of age just gave me an orgasm. There can really be no one else like Giggs and Scholes. Not only when it comes to class, ability and loyalty, but the fitness they have at this age to keep playing for the best club in the world at the highest level and put in performances like these which puts youngsters to shame.

    Of course, as always we do it the hard way, but we fucking DO it for sure, that will always be the difference between Manchester United and everyone else. We Will Never Die and They Will Always Walk Alone no matter what they say!

  392. KingOfStretfordEnd says:

    Chico is bloody prolific. Does anybody hate bloody andy townsend.

  393. Costas says:

    @smartalex

    I’ll say this. The performance in the first half was attrocious. No defending that. Fergie should take the blame for that. However, he will also take the credit for this turnaround. His decisions changed the game. And thank God he took Rooney off. Nothing against him, but I was sick and tired of Berba getting sacrificed for him.

    So I apologise if I was harsh, but I am quite sure Fergie wasn’t any less harsh on them at half time.

  394. macha says:

    BERBATOV doesn’t score important goals!! Just hatricks

    Fancy sitting on here at half time n giving the players shit, united fans should allways know that we never give up untill the final whistle even if we are losing 2-0 away from home!!come on get with it!!WE DO WHAT WE WANT!!!!

    Why do we have to do it hard way?

  400. JayDee says:

    Brilliance in the 2nd half lads. Fuck I hope Rafael’s alright… he was our best player by a mile on the first half. Gah… come on lad pull through!

  401. CedarsDevil says:

    Andy Townsend is fucking fuming about the penalty which was not for Blackpool, saying how many times are we going to get away with it………….. I mean it lads he is FUMING

    Fuck off you cunt, another inch of a 10 foot still has been shoved up your ass you hateful bastard…

    UNITED, I FUCKING LOVE YOU

  402. smartalex says:

    We are the greatest football team in the world, and Ryan Giggs reigns supreme.

  403. mattbw7 says:

    Andy Townsend Collosal bitter cock, how about manning up and be a bit objective for a change

  404. Costas says:

    Lets all keep young Rafa in our thoughts. I felt so awful for him and Fabio. :(

  405. Raizzen says:

    Balaji, haha yea ? I dont who remember who that guy is, I watched the movie albeit a coupla yrs back. Back what I remember now is a certain Mafioso Head, that is Dimitar ‘he doesnt score important goals’ Berbatov. :P

    Am just so. I dunno man. Full of emotion now.

  406. Chicharito14 says:

    @karun it was just a concussion.the medical team was just taking precautions in case it was something more.

  407. RedScot says:

    @ Where The Seagull’s follow the Trawler, fantastic blog, I hope you see this, the Run continues and it goes on.Not only withdrawn but replaced bye Javier Hernandez in tandem with the magnificent Dimitar Berbatov changed the game.
    Anyway I hope you enjoyed the game mate and the ” Invincibles stats ” continue. We rock and roll on.
    Its was a stuffy performance with no fluidity until the substitutions were made.
    The plan I believe was to run AND run again Blackpool to tire them out, it worked.
    Anyways hope as I implied and meant on your Forum you got satisfaction drom another ground out result.
    Lets be honest we have only hit anything like 4/5th gear against Blackburn and the Brummies. We hang on and stay the course.
    God Bless.
    Thats me for no,. off to convey my thoughts to the press. Really ma mates in the Pub

  408. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    @CedarsDevil thanks mate. Congrats to you too. congrats to all United fans who believed in the word even at half time.

    i hope Rafa is ok. I hope the neck brace is just a precautionary measure.

  412. MG says:

    Costas

    We officially have a Rooney problem – I know he was out of his position but it’s not like he’s never done that before.

    I hope I am wrong – I hope he switches himself back on but something is not right.

    Like I said I hope I am wrong.

  413. Costas says:

    The team really picked up their game once Ryan and Paul got going. That’s kind of worrying if you ask me.

  414. ancha says:

    i really want to applaud Nani…not offensively but for his tracking back, defending pretty much all the time…and that sublime pass to fetch…

  415. stpercival, the former john ferry says:

    ….And the world is as it should be.

  416. Redrider says:

    Rafael’s injury too hard to take in… fucking tranny harewood.

  417. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Costas, The lads performance was shit in the first half but the formation did them no good either. 4-3-3 will never suit us without Carrick playing the holding role and this was one more example of that. SAF switched it around in the late stages of first and from then on, I feel we started to get better as the 4-4-2 kicked in. And when Giggs and Chicarito came on, it only helped the system and we ran over them as the game went on.

  418. Chicharito14 says:

    andy townsend is going bananas.

  419. Joel says:

    What to say? Put through the mill. Fair play to Fletch, played shite but came up with the crucial pass when it mattered

  420. Red Typhoon says:

    GET WELL SOON RAFA!! You were absolutely fantastic today…!!

  421. red4life says:

    Thats why we are champions and we will always b, i hope all this pathetic haters were watchin today!
    also bout all this wannabes messi, ronaldo, ronaldinho who were all labeled the worls greatest…. who the fuk are they in front of giggs! they play football for like 3 years and they become super stars!

  422. wayne says:

    thats entertainment lads,thats entertainment,fucking awesome,jesus berba is playing out of his skin,giggs coming on made all the difference in the world and the little pea doing his thing again,fuck me i’m buzzing and its nothing to do with the joint i just had

  423. Dave Malaysia says:

    Trying to breathe properly again

    oxygen please

  424. smartalex says:

    I am praying that Rafael is OK. Any news?

  425. Costas says:

    @MG

    Up step Dimi. ;)

    Wasn’t happening for Rooney. That’s all I’ll say. Thankfully Fergie saw that. It would have been a travesty if Berbatov came off.

  426. Keyser Soze says:

    Arrrghghhh I’m still hyperventilating, what a game…

    Berba, you are making me a proud Bulgarian Manc, I’m about to explode in the face of all AC Berlusconi / Virus / Scouseshit slow-thinking, in-the-past-living “fans” I am surrounded by every fucking day….Legend…what an understatement!

    I love United, I always will, football has always been about those moments, and we are the only team that keeps producing them week in, week out, at least in my lifetime

    COME ON UNITED!

  427. fergie is the boss says:

    MyCowIsTheBest – yes glad allot did, but I was right the system never worked first half. There is a huge difference between dribblers and central players, the system change reminded me of the game against wigan in september 2006. We looked disjointed losing 1 0, fergie changed the system to 442 and united won 3 1. I said this, play to your best players strengths, which is berbatov and that means play 442

  428. United4eva says:

    People were crying when we “missed out” on Benzema at £35m and saying who is Hernandez when he came in for £7m. Would you swap ‘em now?

    Berbatov=World class! Not a sunshine player anymore. Turns it on when times are tough. At last he’s justifying the price tag. At last I believe in Dimitar.

    Ryan Giggs, ageless. Thank God for him. Wants a new contract? Should be offered to him tomorrow.

  429. Dave Malaysia says:

    yes any news on Rafael?

  430. CedarsDevil says:

    Watching Berba’s post match interview………. What a fucking fantastic bloke, humble YET great

  431. Tannor says:

    This is simply United, who else?

  432. Falsafa says:

    John: ‘out of 10, how many times is that a penalty?’
    Andy Townsend: ’10. How many times will they get away with such.

    Fucking cunt!

  433. Raizzen says:

    Yeah we love to do it the hard way. But I guess that’s what’s makin it so dramatic. But no too dramatic pls. It could cause me a heart attack. Damn United ! :P

  434. ancha says:

    @costas

    it wont be once valencia is back…and carrick & ando pair is good enough to share the burden of scholes

  435. sir ryan giggs says:

    andy townsend was clapping for hernandez goal thanks to the brilliance of giggsy

  436. Costas says:

    @ancha

    Yeah he was phenomenal on his work rate. I just hope his crossing gets back to its best…

    @Balaji

    Yeah, I agree. Fergie didn’t plan it out well at first. Thankfully it wasn’t late to turn things around.

  437. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @shoebamed says:

    your hate makes us stronger!! everyone wanted us to lose….

    My dad always asks me why does everyone hate United so much and why do you take it from them. I always say to him I would want it no other way. If everyone wanted United to win the title this season, the world will be boring. For me, it will always be Manchester United against the fucking world and we will always win. When the 19th does come at the end of the season, I will be jerking off in the faces of every ABU, CSKA London etc. media journalists like Townsend and they will be begging for more.

    God, I hate trash talk like that but when it comes to United and the media, nothing makes my blood boil more than that.

  441. cantonaaaaa says:

    @troy
    fair enough but not clear cut. Certainly not 10/10 as he put it. I think the forward motioned towards rafa as well and went down too quick

  442. hassanane says:

    Dont know where to start… Wayne has just lost his starting place, Our best player is 37 years old, Berbatov can not be human, Sir Alex is a genius, Title is coming home, arsenal can enjoy the carling cup and oh yea. Giggs will tear you apart!

  443. willierednut says:

    I love Rooney, but we looked better when he went off. Giggs and Hernandez were immense. My man Berba done the business again, whats that now, 19 in 20 ? Fucking class.

  444. fergie is the boss says:

    I think there are times for 433, but 90% of games should be 2 midfielders, 2 wingers, 2 strikers. That will always be the united way, berbatov is a symbol of what formation should be played. 433 should be used on certain games but not against the small sides.

  445. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    watching Berbatov post-match interview.

    he is sooo cool.

    “In the end, it is the team spirit that won the game” just humble.. huhu..

  446. dannysoya says:

    BERBATOV IS JUST SIMPLY AMAZING!!! keeps going till the end. and ryan giggs? OH MY GOD!!! he can keep going till he’s 50. but it doesn’t mask how shite our midfield was in the first half with that halfwit Gibson. we will have to be more awake than that when we go to Chelsea in March.

  447. ancha says:

    @costas

    thats reply to your post on our over dependance on scholes/ giggs

  448. YorYor says:

    And apparently Berba doesn’t score enough.
    Woeful first 70 mins, wonderful final 30.
    More pressure on those chasing us, and definitely cast more than a seed of doubt in those players chasing us.
    Blackpool never saw what hit them. Berbahit, that’s what it was.

  455. utdforever says:

    The response of Champions today.. What does Chicharito have to do to earn a place in our starting 11? Is he a better option than Rooney at the moment? Food for thought… Well done lads and to all you for BELIEVING we could come back from a 2 nil deficit. Well played!

  456. MG says:

    Watching Andy Townsend who never won fuck all in his life make a complete motherfucker of himself;

    Fuming at HT but ecstatic at FT, football fucking hell indeed! We just have to do it the hard way don’t we, that’s never ever going to change! No team on this fucking planet has our spirit and belief, I fucking love Man Utd.

    I hope Rafael is well.

  458. fergie is the boss says:

    willierednut – like mike basset says, 44 fucking 2

  459. ancha says:

    some one just point out to me…who had the assist for berba’s second…that was one brilliant ball…from our half

  460. Costas says:

    @ancha

    Yeah I got it mate. I was responding to an earlier post hehe. I agree that Tony V is missed, but still, some of the stuff Giggs and Scholes do at 37, you can’t find them anywhere else. Anyway, as soon as we get our wingers back, we will be able to play more conventionally.

    @MG

    I wouldn’t. It’s 20 goals for Berb and 3 for Rooney at the moment. And this time, Rooney wasn’t on the pitch when Berba scored. ;)

  461. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @FITB, 4-3-3 (AKA 4-5-1) is best suited for nullifying Spanish teams away from home in Europe, I still have no idea why Sir Alex will accord so much respect to Blackpool of all people. Well, what do I know He’s the Master of the Game anyway. But IMO, 4-3-3 should only be used away in the most important European games and against the Top league sides, not against Blackpool of all people.

  462. Dre.FU= Forever United says:

    People seriously what did townsend do to get on tv? Hes kinda like piers morgan to me,no talent, shit opinions and known for running his mouth. firstly i dont care how much you hate utd why is he being openly biased? isnt commentating supposed to be impartial views on the game? hes always chatting shit every time we play he pIsses me off seriously, even for an ABU

  463. 90+Until We Score says:

    What a game….full marks to Blackpool…..but United…Not Arrogant just Better

  464. ancha says:

    and how many times…berba scored when one on one attacking from left…two in last two games…

  465. Alpha_RS says:

    Andy Townsend what a twat you are.
    “Definate penalty” and “How many times are United gonna get away with that?”
    He ran in to Rafael for fcuks sake. Bitter Villa twat.

  466. wayne says:

    @utdforever difference right now is rooney is hiding in the box and chicharito wants the ball,can just see that in the positions he takes up had 4 good chances just in the little time he was on

  467. Troy says:

    cantonaaaaa
    However if the ref had given it we wouldn’t have been overly sore about it, but after the shit decisions that went against us last year, that diabolical goal that was allowed at Birmingham this year…I say it is time WE cashed in on some luck

  468. Dela says:

    FUCK YOU ROBBIE SAVAGE!! I can;t believe that McManaman is the one on ESPN who has to say that no Blackpool did not have a stone wall penalty denied by Rafa. Shut your mouth Savage you fucking thrash.

  469. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    @FITB i agree with you. from now on, 4-4-2 should be our main formation. even if we are playing away, we need to stick with 4-4-2. Just because Berbatov has shown he can do it.

  470. Marching Red says:

    SAF in his post match interview: “Charlie Adams’ corner kicks alone were worth 10 million.”
    Doing Ollie a favour against the Scouse twats, driving up his price, eh?

  471. ancha says:

    and this berba needs rooney …is a myth…
    when he was not able to score..it was either because he has an off day or our midfield was not that great….the later happened on many occasions as our midfield was not that great and when you engine room is struck in 1 st gear…you can expect your forwards to be on fire..

  472. willierednut says:

    FITB – lol. We always do it the hard way mate. Fair play to Steve Mac on espn. He says it wasn’t a penalty. That cunt Savage says it was a penalty and he played for United!

  473. Fze123 says:

    @utdforever, Hernandez, as we have seen throughout this season, makes the most impact and is most effective when coming off the bench.

  474. Raizzen says:

    ancha, it was Scholes if am not mistaken.

  475. Dave Malaysia says:

    @smartalex 21.47 : U are absolutely right,thank you for saying that.

    @dela : I have never seen u so angry, that prick must have been had it coming.

  476. cantonaaaaa says:

    Troy… Im with you man! Onward and upward!

  477. ManChestHair says:

    FOOTBALL……… BLOODY HELL!

  478. YorYor says:

    @utdforever
    I think Chicharito plays best when coming off the bench. When the defence has gotten used to Berbatov and Rooney playing ahead of them, suddenly JH comes on and plays off their shoulder. Couple his speed with their tiredness after chasing Rooney/Berbatov/Nani for a long time, JH will have more opportunities to spring the offside trap. If he is able to analyse the game like how Solsk was able to, he’ll definitely be a sub to be used every single game.

  479. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Dela, Yeah, as soon as I saw Savage and McManaman in the box seat, the first thing I did was turned it off. No need to see that anyway right.

    BTW, what do you guys think the bitters who showed up at half time pretending to be United fans feel about that. They’ll go back crying to their Lord from ABU (I find it funny from a personal POV since I am currently in Dubai for a short while on a work related thing.) and beg for some mercy on their souls now that they’ve been swallowing bitter pills for more than half their fucking life. No History. No Support. No Class. No Chance in Fucking Hell they’re going to get near the Title as long as we’re around.

  480. fergie is the boss says:

    Balaji Sivaraman – you hit the nail right on the head, and when do we play barca we may never play them. But in europe 433 should be last case scenario for fergie, not blackpool or birmingham. It worked out in the end, but I hope the boss has learnt a valuable lesson or how ever it is spelt, play to berbatovs strengths and the strikers strengths in general. If he cannot trust his midfielders, go out and buy one that can domminate the midfield. The current squad is not tactically flexible enough to use rooney or berbatov in the same team in a 433 system, because non of them have the dribling pace do stretch teams they are central players. Would anyone stick vidic at LB no you would not

  481. Dave Malaysia says:

    @Raizzen

    @ MyCowIsTheBest

    Guys its going to be 6 am, how is the workday starting for u so far? hehe

    Im still trying to breathe.

  482. ancha says:

    FITB

    I dont think our shit first half performance is because of our formation…its more due to lack of any application from our players…they were hardly able to put on a decent number of passes without giving away the possession

    we were successfull even when we played 4-5-1/4-3-3 in some guys

    I would say its more down to players…and to a lesser extent the formation!

    FFS does anyone remember United should have had a fucking penalty in the same game… and Birmingham? Goal shouldn’t have been allowed.. Spurs Rafael should have stayed on the pitch…. Yet all we hear is this same propaganda that United get all the decisions…. Robbie Savage fucking bitter bitter cunt…
    Steve M was less biased then him.

  484. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    @Marching Red yeah i agree with that. i said it earlier, Charlie Adam made Nani looks sh*t tonight.

    That is the most influential individual play i have seen from an opposition player in a long time..

  485. MG says:

    Sky has said that Rafael gone to hospital suffering concussion

    Costas

    I said on Saturday – if Rooney starts firing we can actually start looking at multiple trophies

    So much for ambition – his team mates that he so devoured are carrying him – though for someone on his wages and his thinking – he probably won’t care much

    Could the real Wayne Rooney just fucking stand up please because this is getting embarrassing

  486. fergie is the boss says:

    MyCowIsTheBest – I said before the game started, you can have the best 4 midfielders in the world. If 2 are out of position the team will look poor

    @Dave i am not going to work with tears in my eyes.

  489. Saad says:

    The more I look at Berba play, the more I notice the extent of his UTTER genius. For the second goal, he took it down the left side, with his face, he looked right as if he was looking for someone to slide-rule-pass it to…then he accelerates a couple of steps forwards and bashes it in with his weaker foot on the near post!!!!! Most strikers wouldve gone across but he took the tougher route!

    G….E….N….I….U….S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hands up who tought that the little kid from mexico who sat in the MUTV studio after the München game a while back would be so icredibly vital to our season?
    On another note:
    BerbaGod and Sir Ryan, enough said.

  491. ancha says:

    FITB

    if they are the best 4…they should be able to adapt…. ;)

  492. fergie is the boss says:

    ancha – na it was the formation. There is a huge difference between playing gibson or rooney wide left, and playing giggs even at 36 wide left. Look at our OT teams it is nani giggs park on the wings, rooney berbatov or hernandes upfront. It is all about balance

  493. fergie is the boss says:

    ancha – so if I stuck vidic at LB he should adapt

  494. ancha says:

    FITB

    it was rooney not gibson…who played on the left…for major part of first half…gibson moved to left only after we shifted to 442…..

    i accept that balance has to be there…but it cant be an excuse for such a pathetic half…i m just saying majority of it is down to players…not being half of what they are capable of

  495. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    @FITB yeah i can recall that. i guess not today haha.

    @MG i said in another thread, that the simplest way for us to improve leaps and bounds, is to get Rooney scoring again. Because Rooney is the one who is playing so badly compared to last season. In other words, he has regressed.

  496. Costas says:

    @MG

    The worrying thing is that I don’t see him even losing chances. There was that one header against Birmingham, but it’s hard to score when you are not even in goalscoring positions.

  497. ancha says:

    and ANDY fucking Gray…is sacked…what a day!

  498. willierednut says:

    Passe – I said back in July, we’ve signed a real gem. He’s not surprising me, I knew he was good enough mate.

  499. fergie is the boss says:

    ancha – yes but you got to have balanced in your teams. look at chelsea in 2006/07 midfield. Makelele lampard balleck essiec. Look at uniteds, scholes carrick ronaldo giggs. PPL thought that 4 were not strong enough to win any title that year, and we looked far more fluent

  500. Marching Red says:

    @MyCowIsTheBest: True, that. But practically everyone likes to raise their game against us. ;)
    I just hope that he doesn’t perform that well for loserpool (if they get him).

  501. ancha says:

    @costas

    I dont think rooney has the confidence to take a shot , if you remember in first half when gibson made a nice pass in to box from the left to rooney…the rooney of previous season would definitely try to bend it across the keeper to score a beautiful goal..but instead today he passed it to evra

  502. willierednut says:

    On Rooney, he’s not and he’ll never be a winger. Either, play him up front, or don’t play him at all. That’ s my opinion on it lads.

  503. only one says:

    maybe the contract was not good enough
    sell berba, offer lifetime contract to rooney worth 500k per week thatll motivate him

  504. ancha says:

    FITB

    Regarding balance i completely agree…i was just specific about the match….

    and my overall point was more related to total football and yeah i agree it doesn’t hold good in current scenario

  505. fergie is the boss says:

    ancha – But I do feel our ability to stretch teams with nani and giggs was a huge factor, add the fact nani is in his best position wide right

  506. ancha says:

    Willie

    spot on…and playing him there when he getting back from such a pathetic form…is being as optimistic as a gay!

  507. shebangsthedrums says:

    Can’t believe all the fuss about the penalty decision. Reasons it wasn’t a penalty – 1, Rafa never made a challenge, he closed down the ball, but halted his run when he knew he wouldn’t get there, that’s why he didn’t go straight through the player. 2, he stayed on his feet, which is often the difference between giving a pen and not. 3. If Evra didn’t get a free kick for nearly having his head taken off, then there’s no way that’s a pen. Notice no one had a 2nd look at that and tried to make the point for a free kick for Utd and then Blackpool scored in the next stage of play. F**K the ABU media.

  508. ancha says:

    FITB

    having nani and a 21 year old giggsy as wingers….will be a fantasy….and that says it all….its the best we can have attacking wise…because we traditionally play through wingers more than through the middle…

    I hope having valencia back by march…will be a huge boost…just imagine valencia on right…and nani version 2.0 on left…

    ps: nani version 2.0 – best crosser of the ball and absolute class

  509. MyCowIsTheBest says:

    good nite every1… (6.30 am here haha)

  510. fergie is the boss says:

    willierednut – yea exactly, how is he ever going to improve if he is shafted on the left or the right. Like I said, fergie has to realise the CF’s we got are not tactically flexible enough they either play has a 2, or buy strikers who will play the loan striker role

  511. only one says:

    dj campbell’s is caused by rafa he left the post unguarded albeit momentarily but gimbo’s flick header back to the far post is simply a copycat of oshea’s..but rafa redeemed himself by clearing that clear cut chance

  512. Costas says:

    @ancha

    Yeah yeah, noticed that too. I even wonder what he would do if he was one on one with the goalkeeper right now. I liked what I saw from him last Saturday inregards to pulling the strings, but 3 goals in the season must be a rude awakening for him.

  513. fergie is the boss says:

    ancha – it could be a while before valencia is back. maybe late march, but atleast park will be back soon. Shame cleverly was never brought back has its perfect time to have given him a shot, has we are so short of wingers

  514. berbatunday says:

    whoa, dunno what woulda happened to my blood pressure if not that l was in class, gr8 results and not bad for my first prediction, chico came on to score!!!! l love the lil pea and berba what can l say that was just very brilliant, meanwhile l havent seen any of the match :(

  515. only one says:

    ive been blessed with the absence of ABU pundit in my country’s coverage

  516. willierednut says:

    It’s as simple as this lads, Rooney has it all to do, to get himself right and start performing, because Hernandez is knocking on the door atm. He shouldn’t be out on the wing though, he plays in the hole, or up front.

  517. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    Gibson get flack when the whole team was shite 1st halfand agree with willierednut Rooney should either play upfront or not at all. The guys giving it to the midfield should be aware that this month was always going to be difficult with only 2 proven wingers in the squad. No need to buy wingers when we have Park back next week and Valencia returning in next 2 month. However there needs to be creativity in midfield which didn’t comeafter we took off Rooney who had yet another poor game. He isn’t in the team just to provide assists he gets himself into position other players can only dream about but doesn’t fancy pulling the trigger any more and that in turn hurts the team. Will he be in the next In-gur-land squad not that I care about that mob but if he does then the national team is a bigger joke than it has ever been before. Today was hallmark of champions got 3 points despite playing rubbish for over an hour and it took a 37 year old to show everyone how its to be done. Pathetic but also simutaneously Thank You Sir Ryan.

  518. smartalex says:

    Costas
    Your response to me regarding the half time talk, I read it now, everything flying by earlier!
    We struggled in the first half, Blackpool were domineering, and largely dominating. Their goals
    should have been avoided, and they added to the dread. I guess that every united supporter
    felt anger and frustration and fear and mostly, confusion.

    Enter Sir Alex..

    We are victorious, and it’s glorious.

    We feel bad that we felt anger, and yet this is all part of knowing we are the greatest.
    Great expectations, a lifetime of success, we are the winners.

  519. mo says:

    I’M STILL BUZZING

  520. The United Way says:

    That Giggs guy is good … wonder what he could achieve with us if he stayed a while?

    Sir Alex Ferguson – makes inspired substitutions, shows no sentimentality and at the end of it all, still has time to screw Dogleash by praising transfer target Adam – ALL IN A DAY’S WORK.

    Javier Hernandez must start now against the smaller teams – they can’t handle him. Looking forward to the CL and I think he would be great if we played Barca later on – they couldn’t handle Walcott’s pace… well what about a double-whammy of technique and pace from Berbatov and Hernandez!!

    The League is ours to lose.

  521. Legolas says:

    Giggs is de greatest football model ever! agree wif u FITB, Fergie got his tactics wrong from de start, but glad he repaired everything after de break. Charlie Adam is sensational and will definitely improve any team he goes to. I think Holloway wants him to join us which i would happily not mind. Had to arrange ER for some haters tonight.. Lol

  522. smartalex says:

    The League is ours to win.

  523. Legolas says:

    I was so peeved wen i saw we were goin 433 with most of our best performers in de previous match benched. didnt fault de players wen things were so gloomy cos i expected Fergie to know his team thrived on width. we are a 442 team and Gibson or nobody else was to blame. why was Fletcher trottin after being nutmegged by Adam???… Berba 4 world best if we win de league n Champions league anyone??

  524. smartalex says:

    keano86 – FUCK OFF TO CITY WE DONT WANT YOU.

    USELESS TWAT.

    TOP OF THE LEAGUE IN SPITE OF YOU
