It's amazing how different the results are for a team, when they are not being gifted penalties !! Now you know how the rest of us have to cope with trying to get a win.

seems like trolling to me? or do have a different definition though your rose coloured immunity?

Red carded member James...or just red misted?

seriously, one of the reasons why i gave up TV for a good 6 months was this kind of stuff, post something on a city thread and you get called a troll, do the same on our thread and its banter and of course there is nowhere to report to a higher authority cause you cant touch the untouchable apparently.

Forget the daft <deleted> that gets spoken in the heat of the after match interview, and look at how he turned that team around from the first half to the second. Is there any other manager than can provoke that sort of response in the players? That was 45 minutes of full on kitchen sink effort. Brilliant.

People laughed at him bringing Scholes back. Some people, mentioning no names, said it was a sign of desperation, that he should bow out with his pride in tact. Moral of the story, you're better off ignoring what other people think.

To be fair i doubt he realised how good Scholes would still be and that probably goes for all of us. But it very much lookled at the time that there were no other options.

Yes he did turn Utd round in the second half and theres no one better but i've read some Utd fans are challenging whether his original selection was correct because they feel Rooney should have started.

Anyway, thats with the beauty of hindsight. What i would say is i think that his comments about the amount of extra time was somewhat ill advised because it seems everyone is just laughing at him as a bad loser and thats exactly what it sounds like

Yep, can't really disagree with any of that.

That BS James

I just can't stop smiling today.

23 years of waiting eh? Have taken some right stick from some of my Spuds mates, but well done to Rick Astley and his boys. Good game it certainly was.

I just can't stop smiling today.

Me too! my cheek muscles are starting to get cramp!

Give over james and put your dummy back in will ya.

If you've still got a cob on over the United in decline thread, get over it.

This message has self destructed

Its interesting to see Sir starting with both Scholes and Giggs.

Imho this weakens his substitution options considerably given their ages.

Particularly against a side with as much pace as ours I wonder as to the fitness of Anderson or Cleverly.

Where is Cleverly's dad today anyway...the elusive scarlet pumpernickel himself?

Just give as good as ya get James....that's what is so good about this forum....and why I get into the odd scrape on less ummmm tolerant areas of TV.

Mr Red must be having a DIY day today

Correct just finished had a terrible morning but good graft this affie and i was OK ....seeing haircut 100 celebrate your precious victory at the end was a classic moment for me...it shows what a piss poor small time manager he is and that yesterday will be the moist excited all you spuds gay boys get this season ...sad really isn't it!

I will not talk about our <deleted> defence.

I think you meant to say well done for bossing the first half and our defence holding out towards the end.

Surely that's what you meant to say?

Any comments on Sir's ramblings?

Yes correct Smokes

Yes i thought your old goalie was taking the piss as well......Fergie's comments where well founded and your prick of a manager was an embarrasment to your club,you won a football match,that is all,lets see if he does that again maybe if you beat Arsenal!!!

Levy clocked it all,i am sure.

One further question Nads.....as you are the leader in the Prediction Cimp....you must have got that one as your banker?

No i had the mickeys against that quality outfit from tractorville and they won!

ps....my predictions are up for all to see!

What's the answer to your midfield woes then gents?

Scholes can't play like that 90mins every game ya know!

Serious replies only please.

The Midfield is not the main problem now, as we have players coming back,,Fletcher Anderson Cleverley scholes Carrick Kagawa Powell just to name a few, what let us down yesterday was our defense or lack of speed back there, but to be fair to the defense the midfield did not protect the back four, hence the need for a holding midfielder someone like Tiotti.

Thought in the 2nd half Carrick and Scholes played excellent.

They dud...and Kagawa was a handful at times.

I doubt teams will be worried by those words though mate....your midfield aint what it was by some distance in my view anyway.

Scholes is simply the best English player of my lifetime - and that's quite a long period. Others have been as good at their height - off the top of my head I can think of the likes of Moore, Charlton (x2) Rush, Keegan, Shearer, Adams, but nobody has done it so well for so long.

Agree with Santi....he's a legend.

Yeah, more or less irritatingly true, even at 37?, yesterday 2nd half our midfield couldn't get anywhere near him

Spare a thought today for one of the greats & a boyhood hero of mine.

I didn't realise you were so upset. I also think it was a travesty. Old Trafford, no penalty, no dodgy decisions, no fergietime....oh wait a minute, suddenly you are no better than the rest of us.

Yes correct Smokes

Levy clocked it all,i am sure.

What Levy would have clocked was an enthusiastic "young" manager celebrating a well overdue victory at Old trafford and a nasty old hypocrite who at the grand old age of 70 still hasn't learnt how to lose with any grace.

He of all people should have shown some sportsmanship after the game rather than behave like the classless old bully that he is

Iv'e been saying for a long time that you need a decent defensive midfielder but Mr Red keeps saying Cleverley

And i thought the idea was play to well for 90 mins or in Fergies case 96 mins !

You know what Alf, no one denies his immense achievements as a manager. He's a legend of the game. So why does he have to make such a tit of himself everytime they lose?
