FT: Deserved win and take a bow Hernandez.Still worried about the goals we are leaking though
 
and not two penalties for United ignored

Very true but for me i thought the foul on evra was 50/50 and the handball would have been harsh imo.

Im just glad we got the result. Stoke played awful with the exception of tuncay strike and deserved to lose.

think we all should thank Paul scholes with his little flick header to evra which lead to the goal. He did make a huge mistake moments before TUncay's strike but all in all he had a good game.
 
Vidic was monstrous today.
Hernandez was clinical.
Some ok performances by the other players.

O'shea and Carrick seem to be sleep walking hitting easy passes stray - definitely relaxing a bit too much.

Key concern still remains the midfield.
 
That fan is a legend getting right in the celebration with the players.
 
Great performances from Hernandez, Rio, Vidic and Evra. Almost shot ourselves in the foot again and the second half performance was lacklustre, but we desperately needed an away win and we got one.
 
That was more like it. Stoke never really troubled. So fecking glad to have our Orange back. The guy was class and should start from now on.
Flecther and Berbatov were brilliant while Vidic was just a monster. Chicharito this mexican is the next big thing.
Aye Wayne you'd need a big ambition to keep this little pea out.
 
Great win. Deserved!

But honestly something needs to be done about our passing. Scholes, Fletcher and Carrick just keep on giving it away. Anderson is often slated for his passing but the amount of wayward passes by our other 3 midfielders is shocking right now.

We don't need strikers. We need a central midfielder or two

Yep. It was depressing to see some of the stuff we play in our midfield.
 
we still have the diegoooo and ruuuuuuuud chants dont we

stop being picky just because its ronaldo
he was a special player and will always be remembered ... and rightly so
 
Ozil and Van der Vaart say hai..

For the last time Ozil only wanted to go to Madrid, Van Der Vaart we missed out on but to be honest it would have been a risk to get him + i think SAF has his heart set on Snijder
 
Spot on...it was great to see collins (?) getting browned ! Our defence seems to add a bit more steel when he plays.

collins it was. Etherington didn't get a look around after Wes came on. The defense looks so much more secured.
 
Perhaps it was just because we realise that he left the club with dignity and respected our traditions, that's especially apparent after the last week.

Exactly, plus he's probably the best player to wear the shirt since the Busby years. Stupid to question that, it's been sung at aways for the best part of a year now anyway. He's shown respect for the club since leaving and never hid his intentions while he was here, contrasting with Tevez who tried to brand himself as a loyal martyr, constantly slagging us off in the process.

Anyway, back on topic, great win and good performance.

The only proviso I'd have is that I'd prefer us to sing something else when we're under the kosh, we can go through the full repertoire when we've got a two goal cushion!
 
Chicharito !!! :devil: :devil:

Just got in - cracking result, great fightback after Tuncay equalised. Hernandez proving to be right gold for us: winner away to Valencia, brace away v Stoke.
 
Who needs Wayne Rooney,
We've got our Little Pea,
He scores two against Stoke City.

An away win, wahey! Onwards and upwards
