Justice will even itself out and you will win NOTHING (very happy) I dare say the mods will delete this as they normally do if you speak out against the mancs in any way .

Was delighted with the result and the performance on Saturday. At the end of the day we still have an uphill task to win the title and we need some luck in uniteds games to go our way. However after Wigan I thought we had totally blown it we are now putting the pressure on, and hope for a strong end to the season. I cant wait for both CL games this week - the second legs are always better affairs as it becomes 'do or die'. Both are hard to call but I do agree that a defeat for united could be a huge mental blow for their remaining league games

COME ON CHELS!

I, as a die-hard united fan, beleive my fellow United fans need to be realistic and also give credit where its due. I was absolutely gutted with the loss yesterday, so much so I punch a wall and fractured my knuckle, as stupid as it sounds.

==========================

Are you Rio Ferdinand?

Yeah brushed while breaking the child's nose and leaving two black eyes. He also issued a statement saying he will be sending round a Wii to compensate. . .

Rio doesn't like those.

this is manchester

we had to play 2 games in 4 days whereas u had a normal week to prepare for last weekend so i dunno wt ur moaning about. these things USUALLY even themselvs out. also this is the price u pay for being in the PL title race and CL at this stage in the season.
------------------------------

He's quite simply stating that we played away in Barcelona on Weds, then went to Stamford Bridge for a Saturday lunch time kick off (our 2nd game in 4 days yes? doh), and then played Barca again on Tues.
Whereas Chelsea played Thursday against Everton, then Tues in Liverpool (a bit closer than Barcelona perhaps?), and therefore had one game in 8 days prior to playing us on Saturday, and also then get an extra day before facing Liverpool again in the 2nd leg.

Was a good game at the Bridge, and you were probably deserved winners. I didn't think we showed very much until the 2nd half, and even then not enough.
But that was obviously due to SAF feeling that he/we could afford to lose that game and still stay top of the PL, and therefore wanted to concentrate on keeping people fresh and ready for the Barca 2nd leg.

Well done on your victory against us, as I say it was probably deserved. Now let's see if you can make to the CL final to play us again - you'll hopefully find a different team in wait for you if you do!

ok

Cannot resist adding a question here -- did you all enjoy a very amusing piece on Ferdinand and his violent behaviour in the Guardian last Monday? Very droll...
