Good job!! Welbeck
SAF said it all
It was OK, though I expected a win….. =.=
Great goals…pity about the defending. More of the same from Welbeck, Nani and Rooney at the Etihad, on the Day of Reckoning!
depressing seeing we drew…
Good stuff upfront but bad defence from rio,evans and especially evra ( he could not contain hibbert who gave 2 great crosses for goals.) . Rafael was very good but could do nothing against the physique of jelavic and fellaini . Should have started smalling to add height as right back .
NEED TO REORGANIZE DEFENCE FOR CITY GAME!!!
Evra hasn’t defended well for a long, often out of position for most goals down the left.
Today was awful, it could either make it better for us going into the City game or worse. Hopefully we can get a win at the emptihad.
I have to say that I’m still proud of the lads despite conceding 2 sloppy late, late goals. Bloody hell football is a cruel game at times and today was one of them. We played some unreal football at times…the goals we scored were all world class to be fair. Its just a real pity we couldn’t defend and keep our lead during the last few minutes. They got some freak goals it has to be said. Football hey, bloody hell. we’re still 3 points ahead of citeh and we can go there and win there’s no doubt about it! I believe in this team and I’ll stick by these lads no matter what! Next Monday night is gonna be the biggest Manchester Derby that’s ever been and I’m confident we can do those bitters! Go on lads! Show us u deserve to win this title!
On a side note…has phil jones lost the plot people? He comes on looking half asleep…giving passes away etc. I don’t know why we never brought Giggs on? Surely Giggs has more of a chance of changing a game than jones? Oh well what can u do. We should have been 5 2 up. I still can’t believe how Evra’s shot never went it. Bloody hell. such highs and such lows.
Its all about city away now. I’ll take a draw although I know the lads can get a win as well with players like Wazza, Welbz, Nani, Valencia etc. We’ve beaten them twice this season already and won @ the Etihad as well. We have nicer fixtures compared to city after that and city will hopefully drop points against NUFC and QPR. Therefore I still believe we’ll be champions! Take it easy fellas. All is not lost…
Great goals
Some of everton’s goals were nice too!
A point is fine though we should’ve got all 3!
Feel sorry for wolves right now!
Despite how this season pans out ,this team is not good enough &don’t buy all that transition bullshit how can we be in transition when we have to bring a 37 year old asthmatic out of retirement .some people on here need to take off there red tinted specs
Hopefully Welbeck scoring today will help his confidence. He has been taking 1 too many touches when in good positions recently.
If a team full of prima donnas like Real can be drilled to get a required result at the home of mighty Barca, so can we.
*Disclaimer*
City are not even anywhere near the level of Barca, so it should be easier =p
Provided we have the right mindset
Keep calm,the players must be gutted remember last season we almost panicked when chelsea reduced the points to one we all felt it was almost whisked,I tell you come next week we will be here after a good result at wastelands,its always sweeter doing it the hard way..keep calm Reds
Well ya Ok they scored 4 goals but Everton scored 2 goals too, Everton isn’t such a challenge,
united isn’t trying their best.
i’m not even looking forward for the game against Man Shitty
Momentum now with CIty.I really hope united don’t go to Etihad with an intention of playing for a draw,this United team isn’t grand at defending leads as evident today.Tevez,Silva,Nasri and especially Aguero will give us a lot of problems but we capable of beating them or atleast drawing.
Tense days ahead,it’s what title races are all about!
come on you reds!
Some very good goals in there. One was reminiscent of Yorke and Cole in Barcelona.
Great to see Danny taking it to the next level. Lets hope he plays just as well next Monday.
We always leave it late..hope this time it isnt too late..
so it all comes down to the biggest derby off late…
now just hope we sort our weaknesses in the defense, which has been solid in the last 3 months..
if we have solid defense, only then we can expect us to win..that is very much vital at Shttihad..
###
Joe Hart celebrating as if he has won the title..
or does the fucker think we are a walk in the park for them at Shttihad? we will fuck them cunts..
UNITED
Heywood red
Mate, that asthmatic 37 year old you’re talking about was as sir alex said the best midfielder in england! I have to agree that our squad isn’t strong at the moment in fact am worried about next season cause changes have to be made!
But leave scholesy away!
BELiEVE it’s our to loss
4 goals”"
Haywood red
Whatever your opinion on Scholes, fine.
Don’t you fucking dare bring out his asthma again
As someone who has suffered from asthma since 5 to think Paul Scholes has played football at the highest league is for me unbelievable.
Have you ever had a fucking asthma attack?
Fuck off, it was a bitch of a result today yet United still have it in there hands.
If people were assuming that a five point cushion was fine just incase we lost at city well then you ain’t much of a fucking fan thinking about it that way either.
I’ve really sponged some fucking shit on here today but your fucking shit is beyond evil
Fucking cunt and you know it.
City where not breath taking today so I’m still confident they drop points .
Heywood red….not bad though is he…the asthmatic 37 year old …
does okay and even if we lose it we will soon bounce back ….
need some players sure…but good players cost and I think SAF has done brilliantly this year..
Heywood red
My apologies for misspelling your name
That’s the only one you’re getting though
19
ooooooooohhh ….MG giving it large……
go get him compadre
Jasmine_mufc
Though today’s game wasn’t the best, I am still looking forward for city’s game! It actually just makes me look more forward for it now since a win will see us needing just one point to seal the title and I really want revenge! Scared to think what will happen if we loose though…
and Jasmine …….OKAY YA…. whatever next….for fucks sake …
better change your moniker to SloanJoan ok ya…. made me smile on a bad day….
MG ….TAKE A PUFF ON THE INHALER AND CHILL BUDDY HOLMES HAS GOT YOUR BACK …
MG- Hi!!! Good evening
compadre haha
Feels like a defeat. Bookies still have us as clear favourites but I really feel like we’re going to lose the title on goal difference.
4-2 up on 80s minutes at home. Can’t believe we didn’t just close out the game. Always easy to be wise after the event though. I honestly thought we’d win it 5 or 6 goals to two when we went 4-2 up.
I think the major problem was not marking Pienar and Fellainii..
especially their 4th goal..
Scholesy was up against Fellaini..he was subbed, then no player tracked Fellaini…
Dont know why we go to sleep against Everton…
treated to some real high quality goals
a shame our defence lacked a bit – onwards and upwards!!
3 points at the Emptyhad awaits!!
hift of power in every league..
Barca to real
Bayern to dortmund
Milan, inter to juventus
Hope its not the same story in england!!
no way..this is Manchester United..We will rule…
Watson you mean you’ve got my back?
Evening soren!
Heywood Red’s “we have to bring a 37 year old asthmatic out of retirement” is aimed directly at the Glazers. He thinks it is their fault that we have Paul Scholes playing for us.
If so, thank you Glazers for our Paul Scholes! We will never forget that you did that for us.
Goal difference is 60/54 in the bitter’s favour but a nice revenge scoreline such as 1-6 would take care of that. So, it is before the walls of Old Trafford, the doom of our time will be decided.
Heywood red,
are you for real a red?
do you know what you typing?
Irrespective whether Scholes had an impact or not, it is very cheap of you to talk about our legend like that..
you can fuck off…
Looking at the goals, looks like the back four was appalling again.
Rafael got out jumped and someone should have tracked Jelavic’s movement.
For Jelavic’s 2nd, Rio and Evans made a hash of things again and credit to Jelavic to bang it in. He was hanging around a poor positional Rafa all afternoon.
For Fellaini’s goal, WTF was the left side doing to allow blood Tony Hibbert to cross such a peach of a ball into the box?
The Equaliser was created by a defence cutting pass and a great turn and pass by Fellaini, Evans was caught slipping on the turn which created the space.
Collectively the defence failed us. Carrick should have done more to be the 3rd centre back on the back foot. Scholes tired around the 70 minute mark and Giggs or Jones should have came on. Once again the substitution timing at OT is timed terribly.
Where was Young? He’s had a great impact in recent weeks and his work rate in defence has improved, I want him back on that left to skim to Richards or Zabaleta. We should have gone for the killer 3rd but the hunger from Everton over-powered us
The amount of OTT reactions from the red half after Arsenal beat Citeh just expecting us to walk the league from that point on.
This is a team that proves that they:
Underestimate teams (Basle – twice, Althetic Bilbao, Benfica, Wigan, Blackburn)
Believe their own press
Are lacking experience
Cannot see games out
Nervous
I don’t doubt the fact that Man Utd can win at Ethiad as we have already done it (albeit almost blew it at one point after being 3-0 up against 10 men).However they are just as much capable of doing the same. These games are never usually won on merit but usually by a decision by the officials – which has happened many times before, especially in Chelski games.
It wouldn’t surprise me if this season went down to goal difference and in that case we will have no chance.Whats frustrating is that again (after clawing the goal diff back) we have had several opportunities to move further on past Norwich Fulham and QPR but we just pathetically ‘patiently’ labored through those games in a lethargic manner thinking that the work was done.
This is a strange Utd that you never know what team will turn up.. after a fantastic display against Blackburn and the spirit shown by the team… its been totally thrown away and handed momentum back at the worst point.
The last two seasons IMO have been massive step backs and yeah we have had really bad injury crisis and yeah we are still top of the league… but that is just as much down to the quality of the prem dropping like a stone.
I hope we get decisions that go our way at the Ethiad and I hope that we don’t in any way play for a draw. If they get the upper hand after the derby then they’ll prob keep it.
I hope they all watch the 6-1 at OT and that should be all the motivation that they need, I would have taken this position at Xmas…but not the buildup that will conjured up by the ABUs. However its the team to blame for that when they could have been playing to win the league there they now need to win or survive there to keep their hopes alive.
There’s a number of players who need a long hard look at themselves over the summer period as this form cannot continue for another season.
That defense need to wake-up from their deep sleep! I BELIEVE we are matching towards 20,let’s focus lads.
After Analysing the game, I’ve reached a conclusion:
Phil Jones was the sole reason we lost, he came on and it finished a Draw
Anyways, can someone check this stat….Costas
“When United concede first, they don’t win the game” Some guy said it, want to check the accuracy because I actually can’t remember if it’s ever happened this season.
You have to wonder if Vidic was playing would all those Everton goals have been scored?
Evra nearly scored the fifth but his defending has been ropey for two years now. When you see the quality of our goals, it’s shocking to think that this game could cost us the league.
Papii,
all game, we never tracked Pienar and fellaini..esp the 4th goal..
Its a major let off..
i would like to see the positive side..its come just before derby game..nice wake up call in our arse..
We have been talking about our comebacks and keeping calm in title race, we have the history..
if we had one chance to prove that again, the time is now!!! the time is the derby game..!!
the players will be equally fighting to not to hand over the title in a derby game to the local rivals..
Lot of things at stake, right from petro dollars to local pride to history to Sir Alex’s wisdom..
the time is now!!
BELIEVE
I can’t see this as a disaster avoid defeat on monday & we are all but champions,am certain the Newcastle vs sheiks game is where we will win the title
Heywood red- you picked a bad example there fella.
Paul Scholes is a legend and can not be questioned.
2:00 jumping peas lol
Lebomanc @ 18:15
I disagree I thought all Everton’s goals were horrible
Papii,
the stat still holds good…
I sent a text to Jeet regarding the same when Jelavic scored first..
We havent won a game this season when we have conceded first ( except community shield),
###
Here, take a look at the games where we conceded first..
Chelsea – 3-3 – draw
Liverpool – 1-1 – draw
Bilbao – 2-1 – lost
Blackburn – 2-3 – lost
Basel – 2-1 – Lost
Crystal palace – 1-2 – lost
Benfica – 2-2 – draw
City – 1-6 – lost
Benfica – 1-1 – draw
####
We have drawn 4 and lost 5 after we concede first in all competitions this season..
@Papii
You’d have to go back to the Charity Shield to find the only game where we conceded first and won the game. Today was also the first time since that game we turned a result around.
Truth be told, it hasn’t been a season of comebacks, the Chelsea game notwithstanding.
Add this fucking 4-4 everton game to that list..
sometimes, its the mentality..as it shows, when we concede first, we have been weak this season..
Especially in Europe
###
anyway lets not rant..
Still in our hands..
now all that matters is a power house performance to show them who rules England..
aya Toure “This night was very important, we’re very confident. We’re not favourites, Utd are favourites. Monday is decisive.”
Yaya fucking Toure..keep the mind games shut..
the red missile is coming to fuck you all in one shot..
@Sandeep
Hi mate. Could be wrong about this, but I think I heard Toure misses next week’s game? Could be false information.
Costas,
hello mate,
disappointing day..
But sports fans will always have ups and downs..lets move on..
and yeah this is not a come back season…
Listen guys I am not for one minute having a pop @ Scholes the guy is a fuckin legend in my book up there with the best to wear a red shirt . @Sandeep yes I am a red ,home ,away ,Europe
Costas,
hello mate,
Nope, Yaya fucking Toure will play..
these are false rumors that he got 5th yellow so he will be suspended…
the rule is for 7 yellow cards..
meaning he will play the game…
Thanks Sandeep and Costas.
Holy mother of Jet Li.
The cunt was spot on
No wins since the C-shield…it’s a bit worrying, looks like we have to score first at the Emptyhad. I would start Nani and Young at Shitty, their spark would run Zavbaleta and Clichy ragged and Valencia could come on and give them a good raping.
The defence is lacking Vidic. simple as. Rio and Evans are great defenders, but Vida is our reliance personified, he scored, he defends with heart on his sleeve, he bleeds for us and the rest of the defence look to him as inspiration. Rio and Evans need to knuckle down this week and Rafael needs to continue to improve and stay fit.
Evra just stay down the left fella, don’t give more fuel to burn with; to the argument why he should be replaced.
Im confident of a win, a draw if we are bad.
All I am stating is Manchester United should not be bringing players out of retirement disregarding how great they are . We should be in the Market for the best around ,not using the money the club generates to pay of the gimps loans
Heywood Red
“when we have to bring a 37 year old asthmatic out of retirement .”
Heywood, in that sentence, where did you mention he was a great or anything slightly respectful.
You brought up his age, his medical problem unrelated to football and his former job status and completely disrespected a man that has given us so much in two decades and STILL IS. You realised your stupidity and back tracked by calling him a great in later posts but it reeks of being disingenuous.You got frightened by the negative reactions didn’t you?
United have not lost when Scholes is on the pitch. There is no midfielder out there, I would take ahead of Scholes coming out of retirement. Even Xavi could fuck off because we don’t know how he’d cope in this league. Scholes is better now then he was in the last 2 season and it shows on the pitch, he’s adapted again and is working harder in training according to United staff.
I don’t love the Glazers, but Paul coming back had nothing to do with them, it was his own decision and SAF accepted his request. I think your using Glazers as an Excuse and you just want to see that mega bucks signing in Midfield for the sake of it. The greed in all of us would like that but some do not go to the extent of stripping a playing legend of all of the credit he deserves this half-season.
How dare you bring up his asthma? Very low of you and discriminatory. Tut Tut
@Sandeep
Ah thanks pal. I didn’t know what the exact situation was. Could have done with him missing, but oh well…
@Papii
Indeed. Today was the first time in a while that Vida’s absence was felt. And it won’t be easier next week. However, the players have to fight for their pride too. They have to set the record straight against City. I agree that it would suit us to score first. And as late as possible I may add…
Papii
Well fucking said mate
Thanks Cedars, that asthma thing really itched my balls, its never been an issue for 17 years and this bloke brings it up.
United’s flag is deepest red
It shrouded all our Munich dead
Before their limbs grew stiff and cold
Their heart’s blood dyed it’s every fold
Then raise United’s banner high
Beneath it’s shade we’ll live and die
So keep the faith and never fear
We’ll keep the Red Flag flying here
We’ll never die, we’ll never die
We’ll never die, we’ll never die
We’ll keep the Red flag flying high
‘Cos Man United will never die
I’m home Come on Reds fucking give me heart attacks as I’ve come to expect. You Cunts
UTD UTD UTD
Never mind Asthma I’ve got no nails no voice and no fucking wonder. What a game, what goals and what entertainment well worth getting up at 4:30am even if its just to see M19ke, KE, Giggs12 and Devil310. Come on Reds UNITE, never mind the shit that comes from the council house WE are Reds We are 1 and SAF will bring it home.

Forever and ever we’ll follow the boys of Man Utd the Busby babes.
Cedars
Weather we won or not I enjoyed myself being the clown.
Manchester, Manchester United A bunch of bouncing Busby Babes they deserve to be knighted!
If ever they are playing in your town You must get to that football ground take a lesson you and see
Football taught by Matt Busby. Manchester, Manchester United………
I’ve got splits in my hands through clapping. Seriously.
Same old ,same old voice an opinion &get slatted for it ,not once did I slag Scholes off ,but fuck it never let the truth get in the way . ,when it suits . + how many of you “top reds ” were at places like Kenilworth Rd ,manor ground & meadow lane in the early -mid 80′s ?
Heywood
You have been posting here for ages and I for one never saw anything wrong with your posts mate… You were off the mark with your description of Scholes and a reaction was expected……..Its not about opinions pal
Heywood Red
I knew you were taking aim at the Glazers not Scholes, and I said 3 hours ago:
Heywood Red’s “we have to bring a 37 year old asthmatic out of retirement” is aimed directly at the Glazers. He thinks it is their fault that we have Paul Scholes playing for us.
If so, thank you Glazers for our Paul Scholes! We will never forget that you did that for us.
Haywood Red. Dad only took me to home games.
MG 18:28… Spot fucking on. Heywood Red. FFS. What the fuck are you on?
Great match – wonderful goals from both teams. Just a pity that CaptainEvra hit the post – 5-4 would have made me even happier.
For me, it was just terrific to see Nani back on-song – he’s such an electric player that I’d have him in there every match, if he’s healthy. DannyTheLad is just getting better-and-better – he still seems a tiny-bit uncoordinated but his energy is top-notch and his understanding with TheWayneBoy is crucial.
Not much response to my question regarding watching united in early 80s ,the silence is deafening .
@ cedars ,I did not once slag Scholes off ,just voiced an opinion that I thought thesse blogs were made for .
@ Sandeep ,you question as to if “are you a red at all ” would put my numbers of matches attended against the majority on here .
@mg ,I got frightened by what exactly ? @Albert Ross – cheers mate at least you got what I was stating &don’t walk round with red tinted glasses on .

Here are a few bold predictions: 1. Howard Webb will be the referee. 2. Welbeck wont start. 3. Nani, Young, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes will all start. 4. Mancini will go Italian, expect a 5-man midfield and a lone foward. 5. Since Young, Kompany and Micah will all start, expect 2 United penalties. 6. The game will have a red card 7. The worldwide audience of the game will break all records. 8. Lastly, the Sheikh and his entourage will be watching in the stands.
Heywood red
Please indulge my impartial opinion here expressed.
By ‘blaming’ the Glazers for bringing back Paul Scholes, you only succeed in endearing them to most fans, because most fans are very glad he is back.
You were trying to say that it concerns you that recently our only established addition to the team has been the return from retirement of a player that suffers a medical condition not conducive to an extended playing career. That condition (asthma) combined with his age would be warily considered by any potential buying club, and therefore the signing-on fee he could command is approximately zero. As we are the richest club in the world, you want money to be spent on bringing in established stars, which you believe is necessary; and reinforced by Sunday’s draw and other isolated performances this season.
How did I do? Was that your message?
Your actual text, did of course not say that at all. Your comment was structured such that it read as an attack on Paul Scholes and his dodgy lungs. That drew criticism, and rightly so. No one expects you to word your thoughts sensibly or foolishly, they just deal with what has been put in front of them. The complaints you received was a case of ‘you reap what you sow’. In this case, you threw a few seeds out the window, perhaps hoping that a neat garden would grow. Unfortunately, the Scholesium Asthmatica bush grew fastest and right in the front, so that’s all anybody sees.
Agreed?
Hello everyone on this site What happen to united last night
Hi MG, I didn’t know you are asthmatic. Me too, let’s form a Wheezers for United club.
As for the comments by Heywood, I think he expressed it badly, lacking respect for Scholes in the way he put his point over, but the fact remains, he’s right we desperately need new midfielders. We can’t rely on Giggs and Scholes for ever. And, while we’re at it, what’s going on with Cleverley? Is he not fit? Has Fergie lost faith in him? Anyone know what’s going on? I would have thought Clevs would have been ideal to beef up the midfield and put a bit of energy there yesterday, once it was clear Carrick & Scholes were getting over-run.
Regardless of all this, now’s the time to show Mancini he’s right, United will win the title. It’s still in our hjands and this year (unlike last season) we’ve been terrific away from home. No reason why we can’t win the title with a 3 point lead with 3 games to go. We fucked up yesterday, but let’s not lose sight of those 4 brilliant goals, showing Rooney, Welbeck and Nani are all in good goal-scoring form. I can’t wait for next Monday!!
Come on you Reds!
I think our attack line was ok against everton, but our main problem is mainly from the defence. Evans is not there yet, ferdinand is old and can’t perform like he use to. Evra, well same as rio fed and rafael is still maturing. As for vidic, hope he comes back fit and early next reason. We need to sign another good central defender and a player that can play but LB and RB. The midfield is not a problem if the like of tom clev. Anderson, flecter, etc will come back injury free and inform next season.
It’s considered to be a truism that “goals change games”. Well, so do non-goals. IF CaptainEvra’s header had gone in and TheLads were up 5-2 then there would have been no way back for Everton. BUT, of course, hypotheticals and could-have/would-have are beside the real point – somehow, Patrice’s header didn’t go in but ricocheted off the post and beyond a couple of team-mates who “could have” knocked in the rebound.
Like I wrote in the other post – it’s a roller-coaster. ENJOY THE RIDE.
Ok people maybe I didn’t put my point across in a good way & genuinely sorry if I caused offence to any one who suffers from asthma or knows of anyone that does . But what can not be brushed under the carpet again is our midfield is in need of a overhaul & has been glaringly obvious since Rome 09 & don’t buy the no value in the Market bullshit . Also who was it that said”Xavi wouldn’t cut it over here ” well even the most biased amongst us would be hard pressed to admit he hasnt done to bad against us in a couple of finals .
