Their second goal didn't even cross the line! 
On a brighter note, Danny Welbeck. He's ready, Fergie.

He's ready, Fergie.Kansas parked the bus at the end, desperate for the win, talk about trying hard. Oh well let them have it. Cue all the mocking from our rivals, basing our whole next season on it. 
Cleverly and Welbeck looked good when they came on.

It's strange that our best players was Giggs and Scholes, In a pre season friendly. That's not a good sign.
Thou, shall, not, equalise!
They probably deserved it just for the motivation alone
Rafeal is fine.Hes one of the worst passers of a football ive ever seen
In fact can any of our defenders pass the ball? Rio, Vida, but everybody else just seems to panic when they are on the ball in their own half.Meh, friendly. As long as fitness comes. Berba scoring made me happy. Welbeck looked good when coming on as well.
Anyways
what did everyone make of Smalling?
he's shit. Sell him, burn him, employ him as Fred the red.
Some of you are taking this way too seriously.
I say we cash in on Smalling whilst we still can.
tee hee
tee hee
i fear for the MLS All stars now I really doooooo
Worst game of Quidditch I have ever seen....feckin Wizards!
Thought it was a cracking game, personally. Thought Rafael once again showed why he's not in the first team yet, and why people need to calm down a bit about him. He's still very naive.
Welbeck was quality when he came on, and Cleverley had a lot of nearly moments. Giggs was very good if wasteful I thought.

Nobody will give a feck tomorrow, or even in an hour, but you can't help but be disappointed and embarrassed at the performance. I don't remember a worse one in the previous pre-season tours.
A team with 4 wins out of 16, including 8 losses, in a Mickey Mouse league beat us when they had 10 men for over half of the game. Not only that, they deserved their win and looked more likely to add to it with 10 men.
fair enough, but its still not a big deal.
I dont think Rafael is ready to be our first choice at at all. Brown/JOS any day please. Rafael will get 30 or so games this year and will only play when in form. It will be another transition/bedding in season for him.
You fear for United or for them ?
Sell Giggs first thing in the morning.
Anyone else hoping Rafael is not our starting right back next season? The lad's a liability defensively at this point - he's proven it time and time again.
no positives to take from that. preseason and not fully fit and all that, but that was shit!
Looking for positives .... So that means Berbatov has scored in consecutive games and is our leading scorer of the tour so far?
Don't think this Scholes kid is gunna make it at United...
Well I enjoyed it. But I am a bit drunk.
And didn't we lose to some Asian team a couple of years' back?
On a serious note, I think theres something wrong when - 15+ years later - Giggs and Scholes are still your best players. I dont even mean in this match, I mean in general.
if he could defend he would be a cracker!
Watched last 30 minutes we looked very pedestrian and it felt that we were just going through the motions?
How was the first half - was it mroe enjoyable or tumescent like the second half?
The only thing that is for certain is that you should not read anything into pre season matches.

Not sure it can mean anything else, I'm afraid.
Scholes didn't get booked. I think that's the only positive really.
The same, only it was KC that saw most of the ball.
Rooney?
Yep. He's been good so far. The Celtic game was a stand out performance
Edit: Well not consecutive but his 2nd goal of the tour and was unlucky in the last game
I don't give a shit about pre-season as much as the next bloke as we allknowitmeans shit-all. But Rafael can be an absolute liability at times. He's not going to be our nailed on right back this year...
I meant among your best players.
They're always our best players in pre-season. Class always shines through in pre-season.
