OMFG Webb gives us a free kick

Man, if we played even half this well last week. Would have plastered Liverpool.

Ba and Tiote setting out to prove that the African Cup of Nations is really, really going to suck for us

I thought that was Shola for a moment and I was like "of course it has to be fucking Ameobi to score a random wondergoal like that "

OMFG WTF

Good to see Tiote back into top form right in time for him to fly off to Africa.

Whenever I hear the whistle I just assume it's their ball. Much less stress that way.

Have to say Ryan Taylor has been very comfortable on the right wing today. But maybe my expectations are just low thanks to Obertan.

Jonas Come on man

Howard Webb

Even the useless, biased, stupid Korean commentator thinks we should have started Ben Arfa

Playing quite well, but dear me, both Shola AND Ryan Taylor over Ben Arfa. Pardew have a fucking word.

Honestly I'm completely in the dark as to how good Santon actually is defensively. Never really had the opportunity to show real quality or be horribly exposed during his time playing. We have conceded 11 goals in his four starts though Not that that actually means much.

5354.81 Man United fans are of course c***s, whatever place not named Manchester they may come from. and of course there's a huge difference between being a plastic glory seeker and a masochistic idiot who voluntarily chooses to support NUFC. I love being able to pull the stupidity defense "Glory Hunter? What Glory?"

5354.81 Man United fans are of course cunts, whatever place not named Manchester they may come from.

Would put Carroll further down the pecking order. Interesting.

Upon reflection, I've decided that despite all my vain efforts to appear level-headed and rational, if Pardew does not start Ben Arfa and Santon today I'm going to throw a right hissy fit.

Looks like he had a sit down with various local journalists and a dude from france? Surely something like that would be arranged through the club anyway, so I'm not really seeing the "dig at the club" angle.

Eh? he was being praised by them for leading by example when they won 6 out of 7 games 1-0 a few weeks ago. Has stepped up to the plate as captain, apparently. loads of mancs on redcafe think he's on a pretty steep decline and a shadow of what he was. from an outside perspective i think he's looked pretty good, especially going forward, in recent matches. However most Man Utd fans on these forums are from places like Kenya and Korea and don't know what they're talking about. Nee offence oldtype. Don't take offense from any of that other than the fact that you've grouped Korea with Kenya for some reason Korean Man United "fans" are a horrible race of inbred cretins. I should know better than most.

I've been thinking for a moment what the worst-case scenario starting lineup would be Krul Simpson Williamson Coloccini Raylor Obertan Cabye Tiote Jonas Ameobi Ba I'll be screaming bloody murder if he actually picks this

Gah, okay, we're on a bad run, they're on a good run. It's depressing. Let's put away the nooses and razor blades though please.

f*** sake. Obertan fit, Rooney back with a point to prove and Man U's number 12's 'impartiallity' as well. This match is going to be nothing but a disaster. and of all those perceived negatives Webb is probably the greatest. Regularly f***s us over and is s*** scared of Ferguson too, just like the rest of them. Yep. Must w*** himself to sleep knowing that disallowing Viduka's goal vs Fulham was just about the final nail in the coffin of sending us down. Aye because his clanger earlier in the season FOR us was meaningless...... Which one? Saylor dive to rescue a point at home v mackems Letting the cheating,diving c*** Larsson take the lace out of the ball on the goal line this season probably evened this one up. That was more his gutless lino tbh he can argue he didnt have a great view whereas the yesman couldnt have had a better one. Its pointless anyway you can go on all day about various mistakes but i was just replying to the stupid notion he wanted to make it as it was us. Even if he didn't dislike Newcastle his fear of Ferguson will ensure we get nowt tomorrow. It'll probably be more because of the fact that they're an infinitely superior team.

Ah well, might as well have them be full strength. It's not as if we'll beat them just because they have Carrick playing at centerback and Valencia and Park in center midfield.

Two days before the match is right about when the false sense of hope starts to kick in.
