Theregulars

I remember when we thought Demba Ba wasn't great before the Blackburn game, or when we thought Best was shocking until he went on a lovely scoring run last season etc etc...

You didn't even find that tractor divven't get that lad to spit on Neesy I woke up with the fucker though. Haha yeh! Don't make me command my radgie followers to take another victim! Christ, hope they didn't hae tuberculosis or something.

I think Obertan will score the winner in what will turn out to be a 3-2 cup classic. Howar Squidward, King of the Lightbulb people.

Started Brightly, being crap last 10 minutes. Obertan having a shocker as usual. Neesy in unsubstantiated knee-jerk assessment shocker!!!11 Sad b******. Howay man, you're having to rely on other people's opinions and descriptions of the game - how do you know our wingers aren't making the right runs but it's the midfield passes that are going awry? We're all in the same boat - apart from the 28,000 there (and I don't think any of them are posting from the exec boxes) - so take a step back and stop being so eager to criticise the team/the club. You do it all the time Erm I'm listening to the game and the fact is we've been s**** apart from the 1st 10 mins against a weak Blackburn team. Well that isn't a surprise coming from you considering your up Ashley's arse 95% of time. Lads this is starting to resemble a night out with Kev! Let's all calm down and find a tractor pinata.

Listening to it it sounds like they had 1 chance and scored, it's just one of those things where thhey get a lucky break when the ball bounces to an open player 1 yard out. You can't account for that kinda stuff. Aside from that it sounds like we played a decent half. I don't think Obertan is the devil incarnate, but I do worry about his reluctance to cross the ball/do something productive when he has beaten his man/use his pace to beat a man. To my mind he should be able to play kick and run around Givet pretty easily.

The ginger pirlo's people will consider his availability and get back to you.

i can envisage it now. Time it so they just finished theirs, lay down three rashers of bacon on my plate. "I see I've got three, and you've got zero. OK."

Maaaaan my brothers are United fans. They're getting mocked in the morning. Will emerge from bed for breakfast wearing toon shirt, hat, scarf and gloves, say nothing, eat my cereal and pick up the paper. Smugness is best executed in silence.

He's alright, that Alan. And he has a nice smile too.

Wish virgin could announce sponsorship every night

What minute is it?

Hmm. I seriously thought Pards was re-inventing us a ball-moving, rapier-like entity. I'm mightily unimpressed that he lines us up to be afraid of 'bigger' teams right now. Who needs Ben Arfa when you have Shola and Ryan Taylor? What an idiot.

FFS get Aliens right you ballbagger I think it's more akin to the scene where the Queen rips Bishop in half. In his mushy white entrails lay our hopes after a bright start to the season. Covered in a new sponsor.

Think we'll get ramrodded, sorry. Rooney to score 3 or something.

Wow. I never realized it until now, Simpson is garbage.

There'll be no long ball with that team I hope.

Pardew's selections are always conservative, but with clear motive. If he decides to start Shola there will be a viable reason. Sanity prevailing? Pfffft.

I hate all this stuff about hitting the post and the bar. Yeh, they hit the post and the bar a lot. That means they aren't striking with sufficient accuracy. They're supposedly top players, put the ball in the net. I don't buy that hitting the post and the bar is completely unlucky - yes, I suppose you were a trifle unfortunate in how close you were to a goal, but considering your highly-paid ability, you should probably sort that out on a regular basis.

I fancy Demba v Skrtel.

Tbf I would have been pretty gutted if he had missed. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't particularly complicated. He did take it well, which is all he could do, and he finished it 100% perfectly in terms of technique, speed, control, accuracy and aiming into the bottom corner.

Such a massive club

really good play and cross from Obertan, well done lad.

What a ball by Raylor.

go home Best.

Best needs a lecture in offside.
