Yorkie Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 What makes it harder to take is that we were the ones winning three times. It's not like we were threatening to snatch a draw, for much of the match we were on to win. As a unit, the defense was absolutely decrepit in that second half. We were begging for them to score for much of the second half, tbh. Taking both strikers off (one of them for a fucking League 1 player) did absolutely nowt to help them out and tbh i did think it was inevitable they were going to nick it. The defenders we have weren't good enough to hold out. We've scored three, were in the lead three times, and still lost. Pride and effort aside, that fucking stinks regardless of the opposition.

timeEd32 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 As devastating as that was, I didn't feel sick until the Anita injury. Was genuinely happy with the performance and was ready to deal with the loss, but what a blow that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Just laughing off Fergie's behaviour on SSN, and suggesting it's a reason for their resilience. No wonder f*** all gets done about it and players and others find it acceptable. The pundits in this country are sponges. Most are ex-players who are too dull to contribute any real insight, knowledge or opinion. They're paid millions to carry like one of the lads and spew the usual cliched garbage they've copied off one of their own. Money for old rope.

johnnypd Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The most ridiculous thing is we had to play on with 10 men while they walked off with 11. Ferguson should have been sent off and so should Valencia. At any other ground in the country this would have happened. Yep, and that's the real reason behind Fergie's antics - it intimidates the officials, and even if it only puts a seed of doubt or tinge of fear into them, it will end up working to Man Utd's favour when it comes to certain decisions. The Valencia tackle is a perfect example of this in action. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The way I see it, I expected us to get battered and play badly and neither happened. I expected at 2-3 that they would be the same spawny cunts that they have been for 20 years and win. The latter is a much 'better' loss for us long term. I think we'll be disappointed but really encouraged by that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Fergie reckons they deserved to win. Do you think you deserved to win?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 We were the better team, Man Utd had the better individuals IMO. Or rather, they didn't have the two worst individuals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think on the balance of things, your lot being top and us being shit, add to that the fact that we haven't won there for some 30 years, we did deserve the win today. We've not played this well at OT probably since we lost 5-3 a few years ago. Played better today than we did last year when we got the draw imo. Completely dominated the midfield.

It's barely worth discussing, as i say. The draw would've been the fairest result - but as Ian says, they didn't have several sub-league players in the side (or a manager who felt two sub-league players wasn't quite enough...)

Ronaldo Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Yeah, draw would've been a fair result. Unfortunately most of the players in our shirt deserved to win, and if I was them I'd be completely fed up right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I put a post in at some stage in the second half about you being on Duracell. Terrific energy from the midfield. Though Bigirimana made himself very busy but he gave the ball away almost every time he tried anything but a simple pass. Anita was class. All of our best opportunities came in the last ten minutes (RVP header, Hernandez off the post). I think everyone was just shattered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
