Manchester United vs. Reading

Waaaaa we're a billion points clear yet I'm still nervous as feck.
 
Have people slagged off Giggs yet?
 
Looking at our lineup, we'll give away at least 3 guilt edged chances on the counter. Depending on how clinical they are, Reading could get something today.
 
I know, it's so embarrassing to watch a team that has Rooney and van Persie up top.

Yeah cos that's obviously the bit I had a problem with. If we used that line up against a half decent team everyone would be asking questions. We've blatantly just gone "Meh, it's Reading, we're at home, we turn up we win".
 
Even when Craig Burley says things I agree with I desperately want to punch him in the face.
 
ESPN pay hundreds of millions for Premier League rights than have this bunch of muppets presenting and commentating the games...waste of time there terrible.

Thats your analysis?

I rather think we've looked at the fact we are playing a team thats conceded 27 goals away from home and managed to score just 12, and thought get the game won early by putting out possibly the best forward line in club football with plenty of attacking support to get the service to them.
 
"Look, Rebecca, love, I know why you're here. You know why you're here. So why don't you pop into the dressing room, untie your hair, put on a bit of makeup and do your fecking job, you daft tart."

Was that actually said?!
Apologies if I didn't pick it up as a joke :eek:
 
It was clearly Fergie outside the refs room. Hinting that he thinks Fergie bribes the refs.

It was a joke. Plus I suspect it was more to do with Fergie intimidating them rather than anything to do with bribery.
 
Keegan forgetting that Wayne played against Chelsea
 
Keegan: How Rooney reacts

Do these fecking morons not realise he's already played since the Madrid game?
 
I'm struggling to stay awake on about five hours intermittent sleep in the 48 hours due to travelling - it's already past 1am here, so I damn well hope we see a better performance than that Chelsea second half as an absolute minimum.

Not complaining about the forward line.

No, we've gone "Carrick, Rafael and Evra need rests, Anderson was one of our best players against Reading in the two games this season and needs a game, Giggs is in great form, Smalling's a top class young player and needs a game, Welbeck and Young are our two best available wide players and this team is good enough to beat any team outside the top 6 and it'll give the fans some great entertainment."

Last time we played Giggs and Anderson (+ Smalling and Welbeck) we won 3-1 against Braga - a CL team with one of the best European home records in recent years. It's probably not as bad as you think.
 
Not the line up I expected at all. Should get goals, but I don't know how well balanced it is. Should easily be enough to win the match though.
 
We can actualy replace every one of the front 4 and still look incredibily sharp up top.
So, so many options :D I wonder how many headaches they've caused Fergie this year (the good kind) :D
 
Rio telling David to keep talking. Great to have Rio and Vida in front of the lad
 
One minute gone and Anderson hasn't even touched the ball.

Get him off.
 
Didn't realize Buttner was playing, good to see him getting game.
 
Good to see Fletch :)
 
Have people slagged off Giggs yet?

No, but let's do hope that caftards use only ideal adjectives today. One wouldn't want to be guilty of describing a horrible referee decision when it's in fact really only an obviously bad call.

:lol:
