Wigan Athletic v Manchester United

2 goals each from our two strikers.

By the way, did Rooney win the Golden Boot last season?
 
Well done Welbeck.

Only 2nd time RVP has scored more than once for us in a league game
 
I don't think it's a red. There's very little contact when he actually turns Smalling, it's all before, and then if he'd have got the ball he'd no longer be last man.

Exactly this. The foul was before Kone controlled the ball with Smalling having his arms all over him. When Kone turns and goes down there's no foul in my opinion so never a red card.
 
Commentators kept banging on about how the Wigan subs have made such a difference...ffs, maybe it's coz we've taken our foot off the gas!!

Also - no way was hat a red. The foul happened when Kone had his back to our goal, IMO. Silly from Smalling still.

Smalling wrapped his arms around the forward and showed no intent to play the ball. He literally denied the forward a goal scoring opportunity. Straight red.
 
:lol: What the feck?

I thought if he gets a yellow then he'll have to mis the unimportant West Ham game as he'd have reached 5 yellows, but it's been reset hasn't it? :lol:
 
We're brilliant.
 
Good goals, comfortable win, great start to the new year

Nonsense. Smalling fouled him when he was facing away from goal, he then turned and flopped to the ground for no good reason, never a red in a million years.
 
Lovely bit of football at the end there. Topped off a lovely win and a clean sheet!

That explains it :lol: It's 10 for a ban now, yeah.
 
4-0 , away from home. Nothing more one can ask for.
Nothing to complain about for once :)
 
Clean sheet. Scoring for fun. Cracking support.

2013 :cool:
