Well, we pull through and dont concede a goal in the Rangers match. A 1-0 victory for Man Utd and we're all ready to slaughter Rangers at Old Trafford next game. I was a bit disappointed not scoring more goals. We couldve easily have scored 3 and we shouldve had a penalty in the last minute. There was no doubt it was a penalty, how could it not have been??? Referee madew a big mistake with that one, though he generally did ok during the match. I was very disappointed with some of our defending and for all of Ryan Giggs's great movement and skill, he did give away the ball an awful lot. Again, an excellent performance from Roy Keane - Man of the match in my opinion. Well done Phil Neville, scoring a truly wonderful goal. What patience and experience he showed taking that goal. He waited and waited and struck at the perfect time.
Ah well, 1-0 will have to do.... :D
Chelsea managed to pull back a win after being 1-0 down at half time.

Here, what about that first Chelsea goal. WOW! What a screamer. I havent seen a shot hit like that on the volley since....um...well....since Zidane did that amazing one. Even though the ball was bouncing along the ground as he hit, i still call those volleys since it was his first touch and the ball was travelling at speed. Chelsea back on top.
Poor Arsenal are screwed lol.
Yeah, Man Utd did well enough i suppose. I was a bit disappointed with the slack defending at times. We reall should have had 3 goals in the first half also. that would have killed the game ;-D The return leg to Old Trafford should be very good. I honestly feel that United may hammer them there or atleast beat them by 2 or 3 goals.

Very true. Lampard has consistently showed us how good a player he is. Even with people like Crespo and Moto coming to the club, it is clear that there is only one person on the team that is guaranteed a starting position and that is Frank Lampard.

Oh My God, Fuck me like a french Maid! WTF was that today at Old Trafford? Im so pissed off at that. Its not the defeat thats got me pissed off, but the sound of very sloppy defending again. I've been thinking that we have been defending very poorly ever since that defeat in the Champions League. Im very pissed off with the play of the team. You know what it is. People wonder why United fans regard Roy Keane so highly compared to other players. Well, do you think he would've let that kind of sloppy play go on without giving the players a real bollocking. United could not keep the ball at all when they broke.
PATHETIC is what i think!!!!!!!!!!
John O'Shea??? What the fuck are you playing at son? Ronaldo sounds like he had a shite game too. As did Ryan Giggs and a few others. I'll watch it on Sunday night and come back and rant & rave about it.

Ronaldo's starting to look like a one hit wonder. Hasn't even scored yet. Ferguson that's what you get for selling one of your best players and replacing him with an inexperienced kid.
Funny how Beckham couldn't find the net at Man Utd but now he is smacking them in left, right and centre at Real Madrid. The service at Real Madrid must be better.
Man Utd have lost a lot of experience in midfield and it is starting to show, still fancy them to win the league though closely followed by Chelsea, that's right Chelsea. I don't rate Arsenal at all anymore, especially with shit-for-brains in goal.

I have to say i disagree with everything you have said there, bar beckham scoring in madrid.
Firstly, I think that UNited had a terrible first half performance, theres no doubt about that. It really was uncharacteristic of them. But that happens sometimes. We have to remember that Roy Keane was left out (sitting beside Peter Kay in the stadium) and that Phil Neville, who is in amazing form, was also left out. Paul Scholles came on eventually, but had he started from the start it would have been a different performance. Basically, it was a UNited reserve midfield that was playing. We have a lot of experienced players in midfield, but with Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Phil neville and Ole Gunner Solskjaer being the more experienced, along with Ryan Giggs (who is a striker sometimes), yet only Scholes came on to play (apart from giggsy again). He was a depleated side with a depleated first half performance.
However, that all changed when the second half started. We were by far the better side for the most part of the game. Ronaldo played very well most of the time, had good skill and made decent crosses. Diego Forlan, though scored the first goal, squandered a lot of chances. Even though we out played Fulham for a large part of the second half, we always ended up doing something wrong, the final pass being short or long, and not scoring a goal. It was disappointing, but it isnt something i will worry about, because it is unlikely to be a terminal problem at Old Trafford. I do think one think, however. We really need another out and out striker at United. Solskjaer, when he comes back, will get goals for us (best NATURAL goal scorer in Europe) but we rely to heavily on Van Nistelrooy, and he does deliver, but we need someone who is more level headed and capable than Diego Forlan. His one of magic moments aren't suited to Man Utd, in my opinion.
Lastly, i thought Arsenal were only Average today. i still think they are the team to beat, not Chelsea or anyone else. The reason i think this? Did you watch the last 15 minutes of the second half? Did you see Thiery Henry's left footed shot that hit the post and then his spectacular goal. For those 15mins, the way Arsenal played, could have out-classed every other team in Europe, bar maybe United and Madrid who would normally be on par with that. It truley was an amazing 15mins of football to watch. Arsenal proved in that 15mins why they are one of the top 2 teams in England every year. Outstanding!

United and Arsenal are both through the Carling Cup. United went through i extra time, could have scored about 5 goals in that match, and Arsenal went through an amazing run of 11 penalties before going through. Well done Rotheram. Bear in mind that Arsenal and United both played reserve teams with a lot of Youth players in it.

A great win for United at the weekend with Ronaldo scoring his first and a rare Left footed goal from Roy Keane that was truely fantastic. Real Betis on a 2 match slump with defeats to Osasuna as well as athletico. very disappointing that was.
United take on Rangers tonight. I wont be surprised if its quite a tight match, though i do expect United to win it. However, a 4-0 win for United is completely impossible. I just wish we had Solskjaer back as he would destroy Rangers and really support Rudd. Speaking of van Nistelrooy, even though he has not scored in 3 or so games, he has played a very influential part in Man Uniteds wins. It was him that cause Ronaldo's goal by drawing the defenders towards his run. A very smart and talented footballer.
Role on tonight....

Chelsea destroyed Lazio which is what I like to see, I hate Lazio full of racist scumbag fans and players who need a good kick in the head. Take that mihijnovic for instance, he was racist towrds Viera when Arsenal played there and he spat a greenie onto the side of Mutu's head.
It wasn't that long ago when Lazio spent £80 million on players in one season and look at them now. Jaap Stam do yourself a favour and leave that shithole.
Man Utd showed Rangers how far behind they are when it comes to Real Football. Considering Rangers only competitive domestic game is against Celtic they have no real chance of improving. Good to see old Nistelrooy back to his usual goal scoring self and Man Utd's defenders earning their keep.
Would be nice if Silvestre and Howard did not have the same bald and beard look as they now look identical.

lol - They do look very similar, lucky they are in different colours though. Deportivo la Coruna got an amazing hammering by FC Monaco. 8-3 it finished. What the hell went wrong with them.

Well, we got the win against Blackburn, but it was a bit of a disappointing second half for us. Some good play though in the first half, especially Klebersons goal. Well worked. When Ronaldo came on it really freshened things up a bit with all of his tricks maiking the match more fun. Still 2 points behind Arsenal and 1 behind Chelsea since their opponents couldnt stop them. Big match coming up in two weeks.

What the hell happened Inter Milan tonight. Alright, Arsenal did play better, but to be beaten by 5 goals to 1 in your home stadium is a bit of a disgrace, especially for a team like Inter Milan. Ok, they may not have won the Champions League before, but they are a top team.
Very disappointed for Celtic, they looked like doing it very well for a lot of the game and then they just couldnt finish it. That group could be anyone winning. A draw for celtic and win for someone else, may see them through. But really, a win is a must to be sure. Looking forward to Man Utd tomorrow night, i think we should win it ok, but a draw would see us through anyway. Roy Keane is out with an injury, but hopefully he will be back for us to slaughter Chelsea (i Hope).

You lucky bastard. I suppose it will be worth it even if you lose, it has all the expectations of being a great match anyway. Roy Keane versus Makalele will be a good battle, but should be easily won by Roy Keane. I really wish Makalele (is that how u spell it?) had of signed for Man United. He is the obvious replacement for Roy Keane since he is a highly motivated, highly skilled and has the ability to control the flow of the team. Chelsea did very well to get him. We got Djemba Djemba instead, but i know how i would rather have, even though Djemba Djemba is doing a very good job.

I think you need to go see someone about that. Its a very serious issue to lose interest in football. Im very annoyed with Man Utd's finsihing ability at Chelsea today. We really really need a striker to partner van Nistelroy. Atleast Arsenal couldnt capitolise.

Rivaldo's been released by AC Milan. I strongly recommend Man Utd quickly sign him up for one season, he may be a bit old and past his best but I reckon he is the answer to all of Man Utd's problems.
If Man Utd don't act fast it's highly likey Chelsea will snap him up.

I agree with you, but im not sure that United will sign him. I would love to see it happen. Maybe even get two seasons out of him. Who knows?

My god, what the hell was Alex Ferguson playing at today???? Its just one disappointment after another lately with United. They need to get their act together in terms of buying a few top quality players instead of premiership wannabees like Bellion. Today, after being 2-0 down to West Brom, the manager has the great idea of taking off two of the best players in terms of performance. Kleberson and Ronaldo should not have been taken off. Alex, get your finger out of your ass and stop fucking around in the Carling Cup!!!!!!!
