We only warranted two sentences in the Metro match report, one about Oba's goal and the other at the end of the article quoting Keegan saying we deserved a point. Rest was just about poor Man U and their injuries, how they had a poor first few games last season and still won the title etc.

Be very interested in how we play against Bolton - we actually got some great results against the top four under Souness, Roeder and Sam (Those humpings from Arsenal and Man U aside) and picked up more points from them than we should have expected. Our miserable league positions were down to the fact that for every one win, draw or spirited defeat we put in against Man U, Liverpool or at WHL there were 4 or 5 disinterested performances and lack-luster results against no-marks like Fulham, Reading or Wigan. However, this should be where Keegan's biggest strength comes in to play in the form of his ability to motivate players whether they're stepping out in front of 70,000 at Old Trafford live on Sky on opening day or playing Wigan half way through the season. That's something that the dull bastards we've had since Bobby seem to have had trouble with.

Official Fantasy League have awarded 3 bonus points to Milner, 2 to Given and 1 to Butt.

Jamie Redknapp "It was a little bit expected" Yeah, that's exactly what you were saying before the match you fucking nobbalong.

Fuck me I thought that was in

60 seconds, come on

"Much will be made of Tevez and Ronaldo being out... It's opening day, remember that..." Fuck off you cunts.

Fuck that, go for the winner, attack, attack, attackattackattack, attack, attack, attackattackattack

Mostly worried about a penalty or edge-of-the-box free kick in the 8th minute of extra time...

He can't, it's banned, Fifa changed the rules. 35a. Any player who wilfully and knowingly brings onto the field of play item(s) with the express intention of impersonating a superhero shall have all such item(s) confiscated and will be ejected from the field of play for the duration of the fixture in question.

I actually can't remember us ever being good at corners since the days of Jim Smith.

"West Cumbria Reds" in attendance

Compare "FLETCHER!!!!11111" with "Oh... And... It's gone in."

MAAAARRRTTTIIIIIIINNNNS How did that midget win that header?!

Had Tevez as my fantasy captain (ducks)

Curse of my fantasy team no doubt. At least he got an assist.

We all know the guys shite, but maybe just maybe, at OT, he may do something as he will have a point to prove Unforunately that "something" is more likely to be a two-footed lunge from behind 5 minutes into the game

Yeah, you can say it in the match thread

Good plan, we should give Spuds a call and point out it'd be better to sell Berb to us rather than their top four rivals.

I'll be happy as long as we remain composed and don't go into self-destruct panic mode like we have so often in the past, usually shipping between 4-6 goals in the process.

Suppose the reputation of Liverpool doesn't help, it's an easy cheap shot when most clubs stop off on the way to go to little chef and have a piss while the scousers have a break to do a bit of mourning along the way.

It'll be working great next season.

Diouf obviously didn't get the memo about respecting referees this season, whcih is odd because you'd think the FA would have gone round and nailed it to his fucking forehead, reprehensible little bumbaclart that he is.
