Premiership discussion:- 1st,2nd January 2007

Park, Fletch were the worst with The Red Beasts goal drought continuing...
These 2 points may weel costs us VERY dearly!

(Funny how certain quarters are commenting that the wheels are coming off - when thier respective teams have not a hope in hell of challenging for the EPL...pathetic!)

A great game overall.

We did deserve to win but considering the team Newcastle put out you have to give them credit.

The worse thing today was Parks miss and Giggs awful, awful crossing.

Excellent display from our defenders but i expected more from Martins, Emre, and Sibierski. All were lacking quality(but not effort), ESPECIALLY Emre, Pattison should've been brough on much earlier IMO.

Shocking defending from the poor man's Sami Hyypia and Jar Jar Binks today.

United have let in 4 goals in 2 games now... that'll cost them against teams whose defences don't have to worry about upcoming GCSE's.

Give it up. Both goals were unstoppable.

I thought Fletcher did ok, and Park despite missing his final effort.

Your problem tonight was that you didn't capitalise on your golden opportunities.

You played well enough.

Nice elbow from Vidic on Sibierski aswell, sweung straight into his face. But ofcourse, as we all know, Man U players dont get sent off these days.

Btw credit should be given to Solano. He shackled Ronaldo very well indeed (although I feel he had a bit of an off day)

Fletcher was fine, Park was disappointing though. Same as Giggs and Rooney.

See the Wums are out to play.

Kimbo, on the wind up again.

It was completely unintentional.

Fuck off!

1) This coming from a Newcastle fan
2) It wasn't a swung elbow, look at it again. It was a foul but was not malicious.
3) What about the incident 5 minutes beforehand the other way round?

pretending he isn't one himself


A fine start to the new year

I couldn't believe he put Ronaldo on the left, surely the young Edgar would have been easy pickings for Ronaldo ?

I'm not that bothered about this in truth.

We could have won by a number of goals and it was a great game to watch.

Typical of United really... they have an easy start to the season and suddenly they're full of themselves. Then when the hard games start coming thick and fast they bottle it.

To be expected.

They switched quite a bit. Ronaldo was forced to keep cutting inside against Solano time and time again in the second half.

Funny Longstockings... I seem to remember you saying something VERY similar after we lost to Blackburn last week

The wheels on united go off, off, off

After the first 20 mins, i had a bad feeling about this game. but 1 point is better than 0, which is what we got when we played West Ham.

If Chelsea win tomarrow then the gap will be 4 points.

Decent game this, though now worries for the REDS, where Chelsea drops point in home games against the likes of Reading and Fulham. United get a draw at Newcastle away. Chelsea will drop points tomorrow again, Mourinho will get sacked/or quit himself. Manu will be champs afterall

Apart from Tottenham and Bolton, we haven't the most enviable record in the 'hard games'

Ferguson is saying that Saha might be out for a couple of weeks, although obviously it is difficult to be specific before his injury is assessed. It's a good thing for Man Utd that they've signed Larsson because Saha will be missed if he is out for any considerable length of time.

Solano contained Cristiano beautifully. I would've put Cristiano on that new kid playing left fullback.

Ronaldo started on the right but Edgar and Milner were doubling up on him and he couldn't get past.

You on our loss against Sheffield Utd

Parks lives wrote:That was pathetic and hilarious.

Well done Sheffield United!

Maybe if you didn't do it as much.

People would do it less.

Liverpool have not actually bottled it this season as it isn't a question of mental toughness, just lack of talent.

Never even in the running. Embarrassing

Shame for Saha. Though like you say the timing might not be a bad thing.

Who did Sky give MotM btw, turned it off.

Just sound nice to read a decent peice of commentary for a change!

On my way home last night I passed a fat man shouting at another man while his trainee Essex girl-slut-friend shrieked "Leave it, he's not worth it"

I'm not suggesting that this is happening here.
