Another questionable decision at Old Trafford today, surely not??


That being said, gulp, you can say it - come on - yes, United ARE more worthy of the title this season than any of the 'pretenders!

If you rated each of the scummers' squad out of 10, there'd be a lot of 6- and 7-out-of-tens. Their pitiful displays in Europe this season have been ample demonstration of that. But what they do very well is work their nads off, not giving the other team any time on the ball. They've also built up over their years of dominance a kind of hoodoo over opposition teams, who all too often seem to be resigned to losing before they step foot on the pitch.


Baconface has worked miracles with a severely limited squad.

Everywhere else we are extremely strong. Valencia, Nani, Young, Giggs on the wings is better than anything else in the league. Rooney is one of the best players in the world and I don't even need to mention our defense which is easily the best in the league.

To be honest if opposition supporters want to kid themselves into thinking we are a bad team then that's fine.

Still, enjoy the plaudits while you can. Shiteh will probably replace Mankini in the summer with someone who knows how to manage. They'll also improve their squad, which is already better than Utd's. Hence, United won't have a better chance to win the EPL than now.


As for Europe, well there's a lot of work to be done on that front. When Bilbao destroyed you over two legs they showed the new way. United had better wake up to this reality and pronto.

As for being shown to be average in Europe don't forget we have been in 3 Champions League Finals in 5 years. We've had a poor season in Europe this year, mainly down to SAF not giving the group stages enough respect. And as for the Europa League, well I'm not saying we would have beaten Bilbao if it was the Champions League but the players would have been a lot more motivated.

A shame that Riley never bothered contacting us after Foy's disgraceful performance in the Stoke game. At least Riley did the decent thing in Wigan's case. I wonder if he would have done the same had Howard Webb screwed up.

Liverpool two up. Maxi scoring both, I suppose he'll be benched for the next few months as a result and back to Downing, Henderson etc.


Doni sent off, Liverpool relying on their number 3 goalie who saves a shite penalty! All the excitement at Blackburn.

It's time for 'Arry to go, methinks. Mind you, I've been saying that for the last year. What's different this time round is that Spurs fans are going to turn on him in a big way after today's woeful performance.
