You’ll notice that some of the league positions over-lap. This is because differing cup commitments meant they were out of sync and had games in hand at different points in the season, so this doesn’t represent league positions week by week, but game by game.

Man Utd News 24/7
the only stat that will matter is will it be 19 at the end of may.
hope the numbers we wont forget will be 19 and 4
19 & 4? well we hope so but we ain’t won shit yet, long way to go, take one game at a time
Off the topic – scum bags at Wastelands dishing out the Munich chants yet again at weekend.
http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/sport/football/manchester_city/s/1419485_munich-chants-tarnish-manchester-city-victory
Got confused there for a minute. Instantly took United as Red and Chelsea as the blue line without looking at the legend.
GOTTA WIN ON SUNDAY!!
well it would be strange being the best club in england all season, then being the best English club in Europe (if we get to the final and if we even win it!) and not win the league at the end of it :S
Need to up the game on Sunday!!!!! Which im sure we will do!!!!!!
Off topic
United have made an average of six passes before each goal in the knockout stages of the Champions League, with no other side being as constructive.
This pattern of play was highlighted at the Veltins Arena in the first-leg: Ryan Giggs scored the opening goal following an eight-pass move, while Wayne Rooney added a second after a sequence of 12 passes – their longest move leading to a goal in the knockout stages.

The stats don’t lie,just goes to show how consistent we’ve been this season in terms of avoiding defeat,seems like we’ve been top of the pile for most of the season,yet the ABU cunts bang on how we’re the worst team that looks likely to be league champions,well if we’re bad and on top that makes Arsenal and Chelsea look like shit!
@xol
Well interesting stats lad,looks like we are lethal and precise in our attacking in European games,so much for tiki taka shit,honestly I don’t understand why people wank over barca,they”re BORING with most of their passes going sideways and backwards,that may contribute as to partly the reason why they chalk up an average of 500 passes a game.
This is just proof that we deserve the title but we deserved it last year and lost a crucial game against Chelsea albeit a shoddy decision…. I want to be no. 1 at season’s end because that is the only time it really matters…… Comeonyoureds
Do not show these stats to the ABU media they will say that it’s inception
Not saying I’m tense, but I could eat coal and shit diamonds right now.
@Hargo’s Curly Hair
Yeh we’ve still got a directness about our play, (in Europe knockout stages). Must keep teams on their toes thinking we’re 6 passes away from scoring. If Barca face us in the final, I’d be content with a 1-0 victory featuring our excellent stingy European defence, but wouldn’t it be great to also deny them the kind of possession they’re used to. It’s all very well beating them 1-0, but the downside is you have to watch them play their game. It makes for a nervy 90 minutes, you win and because it was Barca the press sympathise with them. You get called negative and defensive when in actual fact, Barca make more backwards passes in a game than we do in a whole cup competition. Maybe.
we need to stop the talk of final until we get past schalke, same as we had the league won 3 weeks ago so need to take 1 game at a time, 2 massive games coming in the next week. 2 wins would be marvellous! COME ON YOU REDS.
@xol
Exactly mate,I truly don’t understand the wanking over Barca making it like they’re the best thing since sliced bread,I for one hope we play the Manchester United way and just RAPE the whole lot of them,I’m confident we can,and since their record on English soil isn’t that good,we should take advantage of that and make Wembley our second OT.
I personally think we can beat those poncy cheating diving play acting Spanish cunts,provided we get our tactics right,though I don’t think it’ll be easy,but it sure. Is possible.
Bring on Schalke
B.E.L.I.E.V.E.
I see the ABU mail are at it again: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1383018/Howard-Webb-set-charge-Manchester-United-v-Chelsea.html
Great comments. Fucking ignorant cunts.
Kings – Hello mate. I noticed last night you were on about Wenger loving Barclay the egghead. Yeah. My mate called today having watched the show and he said that Barclay had said that United and Madrid are enemies of football, Where does this bastard get off saying shite like that? If not for United there would be no Ingerlish teams in Europe. United have been and continue to be the benchmark of Ingerlish Football. If not for UNited him and his hack cronies would have nowt to talk about the last 20 years. Is this cunt REALLY doing a book on Fergie? I hate this bastard with a passion.
I see Nomark Wrighty has said that United will end up trophieless. He says that Chelsea have won two of their last 3 to OT. Errr If you are gonna talk shite at least get your fucking facts right Ian. Fucking loser.
United HAVE to beat these cunts on Sunday. Everyone reckons we will lose. I notice Merson had us to thrash Arsenal. Well I just knew we would lose. Everytime this coke head alky predicts summat, the opposite happens.
King Eric – Hello mate. That Barclay is a poisonious cunt mate. You could tell by his body language that he was itching to have a pop at Fergie last night. Yeah if it wasn’t for United, these wasters would have nothing to talk about and if it wasn’t for Sir Matt’s insistence on playing in Europe, English football would be an unknown entity across the world, yet they still insist on saying spiteful things about a club who has set the standards for others to follow. Fucking cunt. I’m absolutely amazed that Fergie is giving him the go ahead to do a book on him. Yeah I hate him with a passion too mate. I know the other cunts like to have a sly dig at Fergie, but at least they can acknowledge him for he’s achieved in his managerial career both with United and Aberdeen, even though it is a rarity, but that egghead cunt just looks for any excuse to speak ill of him and lauds Wenger as a fucking genius. Something will happen to him mate, you mark my words.
Oh fuck off Wright you unfunny cunt. I wish Schmeichel snapped that bastards neck in that game at Highbury back in 1997, when he tried to square up to our legendary Dane at full-time. I hate the way he tries to make out that he’s a typical ingerlund fan when he gesticulates in the BBC studios whenever there is a major tournament is on. CUNT.
Merson is a coke snorting cunt who should keep his opinions to himself. I remember he was commentating on a game and made fun of the Bremen keeper who was crying at the full-time whistle after his mistake cost them the tie – I think it was a knockout game against Juventus. I thought he’s got a nerve the cunt after his public breakdown in late 1994 when he was found guilty of doing drugs as well as pissing his money away on gambling. It amazes me how losers like him and Wright are allowed to voice their opinion. Bastards.
I really hope we beat these rentboy bastards on Sunday, that game cannot come quick enough for me.
Check this out mate, absolutely fucking laughable: http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/862224-twitter-fury-as-manchester-united-fan-howard-webb-is-given-chelsea-clash
Graeme Le Saux on Sky Sports News just now: ‘It says a lot about Chelsea’s amazing recovery as opposed to United’s slip up’. Fuck off you twat. Shame Batty didn’t give him a hiding when they were teammates at Blackburn.
King Eric – lols this idiot said united have lost 2 of the last 3 meetings at OT. Umm is he stupid.
2008/09 united 3 0 chelsea.
2009/10 united 1 2 chelsea
2010/11 CL QF united 2 1 chelsea
so where does he get this info from, united have lost 2 of the 3 meetings at OT
Off topic but anyone know how many tickets we were allocated for Blackburn away?
Kings – he def is high, united have thrown away unbelievable leads.and being robbed of a phew decisions
Fulham 2 2 united – nani misses a pen at 2 1 on the 83rd minute I think. A phew minuetes later fulham score. Score should be 3 1 Pts 75
Everton 3 3 united – united are 3 1 up with 2 minutes to go, in space of a minute everton score 2 goals. Score should be 3 1. Pts 77
United 2 2 west brom – united are 2 0 up at OT at half time, in space of 45 mins united throw away a 2 goal lead. Score should be 2 0 Pts 79
Chelsea 2 1 united – the biggest robbery of the season, not only should chelsea have been down to 10 men, chelsea’s 2nd goal was not a goal. Score should have been 1 1 Pts 80
newcastle 0 0 united – the amount of chances united had should have been another 3 pts. So really united should be on 83 pts. Score should be 2 0 Pts 83
We could add united should have been awarded a pen at the emerites, but vidic getting very lucky balances the 2 decisons out.
fergie is the boss – Yeah it is a shame we threw those leads away otherwise those rentboy cunts will be doing a guard of honour on Sunday. I hope we smash them on Sunday mate.
Just a note to those of you who spell few phew. Every time you write phew I pant and get a hot flush and think about being in a small mouse costume getting chased my a giant cat. To be honest the cat is ordinary sized for a cat but to me in a mouse costume a cat looks massive. I didn’t want to act the mouse but thats life, you get work where and when it comes along and beggers can’t be choosers. Wooooh, that was close I thought I got rid of that pesky cat by dropping a hot iron on its head, any way before I go its few as in a number of something and phew as in goodness gracious. I’ve got to go now this cat seems to have found a third lung. Phew he tripped up I thought I was a gonner then for a few minutes.
mmmmmmmm whats that, cheese!………………………………SNAP!
I will quit football if United loss this title. Not because I think United will win, the truth is that this current squad makes me hate football.
richard – and united are not going to miss you either
richard, I get it, nice one richard = dick, ha ha
Something only a dick would say for the slow ones in tonight.
richard-go..fuck yerself!
We will win it at OT vs Chelsea. The fans deserve it. I do believe we will be up for this game and put it past Chelsea. Whatever team SAF puts, on May 8th lets support the team irrespective, and push for the 19th.
bertie in disguise?
ever wondered how owen hargreaves passed the damn medical ??
@ GoatinaUnitedShirt
I agree with yew
“phew” is so annoying
Why is it so hard for folks to understand that 11v11 and score lines differing by 1 is always going to be insane. Insanely difficult to manage, insanely difficult to ref, insanely difficult to play, and most of all…..
insanely difficult to watch. This sport takes stones from all involved, particularly the fans. I don’t mind giving credit where it is due because I recognize the impact of failure and coping with failure on all involved. One of the great things about United over the last 20 years is that there has always been some bit of success to wash down our failures. Pity the miserable souls who support clubs were success may be less tangible. Sometimes down to beating their rivals on one day in given year.
Onward you reds, destiny calls.
More than a coincidence that the papers report the footballer at the centre of the injunction with Imogen Thomas has told his wife about the affair and now Giggs has influenza!
who is looking forward to the 100 metre diving compition 2night
Its a campaign to buckle the ref not totally unexpected,easy response to it batter the shite out Chelsea a repeat of our last Two games against them and don’t forget our almost 100% home record.How many sending off’s tonight hopefully Barca players.
Thank ewe.
My wife disagrees and says shes always game for a phew more.
the 100 metre diving compition, candidates ronaldo, di maria, messi, xavi, puyol, pedro, alves, villa
If I have missed more out give more names, on who will out do eachother has the biggest divers of the night. My money is on puyol and pedro has the worst ones. But another compition is, which set will players will round the ref the most, its gonna be a close one more closer than the actual match
Kings – Great post mate.
I actually like the way Fergie is the boss spells “few” “phew”. Its quite amusing.
richard – Well fuck off then you silly cunt.
bchilds – Giggsy was training today mate.
Kings – Gonna have a look at the link after the ponces game. The uproar is fucking laughable. Rival fans STILL making out that United get all the decisions. Still banging on about that Mendez goal from about 6 years ago and that Carrick pen against Spurs when Gomez brought him down!!
fitb – Hello mate. You missed out the worst culprit. Sergio Busquets.
King Eric – Cheers mate. Is that Richard for real? What a cunt.
FITB 17:56
Ha ha. good one mate. Ha ha.
Virus v Divecellona !
@richard
I can sort of see his point, the current United squad isn’t the most likeable team we’ve ever had. I still really dislike Rooney, I am really struggling to give him another chance after I was hut so much around October time. Nani too isn’t the most likeable with his antics.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say I hate any of our players and I think we have a far better group of people than the likes of Chelski but I can kind of see what he’s getting at.
Forever and ever I will support and love United however!
King Eric – I have decided to wear a catheter today as I have been pissing myself laughing too much today at all the uproar since Webb was confirmed as referee for Sunday. I also heard someone mention about Macheda’s goal being hand-ball for our consolation last season as a way of countering Drogba’s offside goal argument. Fucking cunts.
Yes let’s start quitting things if United don’t win the title:
Who’s for quitting sex until United win the title
Sorry that’s the only interesting one I could come up with I’m sure everyone else will have some ideas
MG – ‘Who’s for quitting sex until United win the title’. I am mate, I mean it’s only for 5 days!
bchilds
I see where your coming from in “defence” of richard but I never once thought supporting United was an option and could be just turned on and off. Even now in my older age I forget that a match is coming up, especially if Ive been too busy to come on here and catch the build up but I still go through a mood cycle that my wife would more than happy to tell any shrink about and get me locked up. I suppose its the same as someone who has smoked all their lives or are recovering alcoholics. 2 days before a match I get tetchy, a day before a match Im calm but forgetful and clumsy and match day Im a fucking lunatic with all of the above and alot more besides. Even if I dont specifically know if the weekend match is on a Saturday or Sunday it just seems that my body knows.
Not be a United fan, thats like cutting out a lung and only being allowed to breath out. Not that Id ever want to be anything else.
@Kings
And for all you that have been married as long as I have what the fuck am I giving up sex for, Ive already seen us win the league 4 times since last time and her face when she was asleep may not even count!
@GoatinaUnitedShirt
Oh me neither mate, I was just trying to offer some some explanation to his feelings!
