there is no fecking way we are going to win the league this season, next season or the season after.
fecking shite
That's some negativity you've got there. There was a lot of positives in that game. Reading are a good well-organised side and many sides will drop points there. Sonko was a rock at the back and they fought really well. It's a dodgy penalty decision against us and last season I think we might have lost that game.TheRedFlag said:we didnt fecking win.
Champions win these kind of games with inspiration coming from somebody, we've not got any inspiration at all.
At this rate, I expect Benfica to do us over on Wednesday and for Newcastle to at least get a draw next week.
Face it, we're just not the product you would expect from a team with championship aspirations.

charleysurf said:Dissapointing to drop 2 points but I would have grabbed a draw if offered with 20 minutes to go. It just seemed like one of those games where we were the better team but nothing was going to go our way.
Still a lot of positives from the game. Carrick played as well as we have seen in a red shirt. Ronaldo played really well. Rooney was not 100% but looked a lot closer. Great to see Vidic and Heinze back.
On the other hand, Gary Nev had a stinker and Richardson was as bad as expected.

nous ne sommes pas assez bons
Wir sind nicht gut genug
So now is a good time to place a bet then?GaryLifo said:no, that is a fiar summary.
we are a good side, but nowhere near good enough to win the title. As proven by letting Arsenal score with 5 minutes to go and then drawing to a poor side like reading, who I thought we were all over and should have beaten with ease.
There is no excuse about Reading playing well today because they really didn't play well at all.
2 points dropped.
and 5 dropped out of the 6 we needed to be considered serious title contenders... which we no longer are.... and probably never were.
Now thats a summary... cheersRedSky At Night said:imo, the only players who were brave enough to make a shot on target was Richardson and Ronaldo today. The rest of them wanted the perfect opportunity/angle and that never came against a side that would pack the middle of the defense with 8+ players.
What strikes me as odd today, this is the kind of game Rooney was built for. All stregth, all muscle close skill to beat his man. While Ronaldo relished the challenge, Rooney seemed to let the game drift by. Thank god for Giggs and Ronaldo this season, they have been our best players closely followed by Saha and Scholes.
To be fair to Reading, they played a blinder and the crowd was immense. With 30minutes to go, i was leading for a draw. We got a draw. Imo thats a point gained, because without Ronaldo we would have lost that game.
Positives:
+Vidic and Rio looked comfortable for the entire game.
+Heinze got 70min under his belt
+Man of the match performance by Ronaldo
-Richardson was woeful today
-Trying to walk the ball into the net
-Not enough crosses into the box.
AND WE WILL SAY THIS NEXT SEASON OR THE SEASON AFTER ALSO.GaryLifo said:every season for the last 3, and now this one... shit results against shite opposition.
