  1. Another pointless assist of an assist for Mata.
  2. Same reasons in support of Lampard as Nicky Butt in our relegation season (ie. non-footballing reasons - experience, dressing room calm etc etc)
  3. Incidentally, Lampard is ever more over the hill than Gerrard. Not smart saying that at the start of the 90 I know, but I don't think it'll come back to bite me on the bum.
  4. Maybe we'll have a player sent offdown for attempted murder for tackling Van Ponsie.
  5. Smart tbh. It was one of the fairest refereeing performances I've seen in a Man Utd match in ages. How often do you see Rooney, RvP and Scholes being booked? It wasn't a perfect performance (especially that corner decision!) but it was good. Ferguson laying into him will discourage such similarly brave refereeing displays in the face of the Man Utd franchise.
  6. Need Mata to get 5+ more than Hazard or I'm pretty much out of the cup in Round 1.
  7. I'm gonna say Hernandez in the 92nd. I'm going to say it's going to be for some innocuous defensive hustle on one of the offence's wide receivers.
  8. Set up quite well for Man Utd to dive for a penalty now.
  9. Giggs gets away with more than Scholes IMO.
  10. Tiendalli seems really good for a replacement RB.
  11. Young tried to get him booked the cunt
  12. 0-0 is usually 12/1 (unless Stoke are playing in which case it's 6/1). So probably 2000(ish)/1
  13. It's probably a little advantage (for them) that they can change half their team while we're already playing some of our 2nd players from the start. I did think of this, but I think last season's 3-0 renewed our 'Man Utd Strongest XI' pass, after the 5-0 pass expired after 15 years.
  14. Not a massive advantage, but it's good we had a lot of possession yesterday and we didn't have to do much of the running. Similarly, glad Man Utd are having to do a lot of work to get the ball off Swansea. Silver linings and all that! Really impressive half from Swansea
  15. Patronising commentators have changed their tune. Is this no longer just a bonus game for Swansea then?
  16. I think he's good, but that's a strange reaction from that goal In fairness, I think Michu is getting a lot of praise - a lot of it justified, but not enough is going to players like Routledge, de Guzman and Hernandez. As good as he's been, Michu has been receiving some fantastic service this season.
  17. Class first time lay-off from Routledge and run from de Guz.
  18. We scored from a corner once. I think.
