United looked rather terrible. Couldn't hold possession, their passing was slack, no real chances. Carrick can't play in a big game. He doesn't shield the defence like Hargreaves does, and he offers no threat going forward. I'd love to know how many 10 yard side and back passes he played in this game. Basically a wasted position

Too bad this game was today, causes a lack of streams so I missed out on Bolton beating Everton 3-2 and missing out on a 2-2 Man City/Fulham game.

Yep they deserved to lose this one. When Berbatov is clearly the only one on the field working hard you know you have a problem. Scholes and Giggs showed their age today. Carrick looked lost, Valencia started ok, but became useless for the majority of the second half.

And Rooney should not have been out there. I much rather would have liked to see Owen in for Roon. He was out and you could tell he wasnt ready to play.

The midfield was soooo bad today, I really hope Fergie lets the team know how shitty the team played today. They deserved nothing, and in return got nothing. Also the official wasnt great, but he is not even on the list of why utd lost this game. Only good thing is, Chelsea lost last week, and Liverpool still will NEVER win the league.

"Newcastle fans need not worry, Mike Ashley has taken the club off the market and given Chris Retard Hughton a permanent contract!" :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D .......

Well, after several opportunities missed by Owen, Man Utd fluke a draw to go through.

Atletico's terrible defending allowed Chelsea a draw to qualify.

Anyone care to enlighten me on why Pato's goal was disallowed? I saw the goal 3 times, just couldn't see a foul.

Because God hates you davie.

[Sharkweather]

Fuck Sergio Aguero.

That is all.

Because God hates you davie.

No such thing as "God", besides your sig doesn't have the Kevin Williams, Pat Williams or Jared Allen jerseys on.

Fuck Sergio Aguero.

That is all.

Sergio Aguero is talented. Plus he's already had his share of bad luck - his kid is all deformed and retarded.

What is it with Man U and late comebacks in Euro games?

[Archer]

Newcastle sold the stadium rights and it will now be called "sportsdirect @ St.James' Park"

Talk about a slap in the face from the man who played a huge part in taking a great club from a mid-table/euro contending EPL team to the Championship

The fans are once again calling for him to leave .... god forbid what happens if we start slipping down the table

Oh and in other news Derek Llambias says the Manager will have "around 1million" to spend on players in January . :guntohead:
