Manchester United vs Portsmouth

Did Paul Merson call our left back 'Evian'?

Yes, he did.

Chelsea will improve through this season, though.

Probably.

They did go through a spell of being shit last year though. We can only hope that we are near enough to them to capitalise on it if it happens again.

Did they mention how many points ourselves and Chelsea actually had?

I thought we did really well post December, last season. But it was too much of a gap to close.

just a joy to watch. Best side in the country, football wise, even better than Arsenal

I wouldn't go that far. Arsenal play beautiful stuff sometimes. I think United have a better cutting edge though.
 
Excellent from back to front in that half. The passing, the movement, the work-rate, the understanding and cohesion in our play is the best i've seen it for years, having missed the Bolton game.

Carrick is really starting to prove his importance and partnership with Scholes, Louis movement and sharpness causing problems, Ronnie being far more economic in possession and both fullbacks, particularly Nev!, supporting and contributing to play very well.

Dropped off a bit towards the end of the first half, but if we pick it up again I can see a thrashing here.

Well I remember Chelsea won something like their first 9 last year.

We had 18 points from our first 10 games, we're on 25 at the moment.
 
HT:Completely outplayed them.Bit surprised expected more from Portsmouth.Hope we don't ease up in the second half.
 
That has to be the best half of football that United have played in years. Was sublime, linkup play, long passes, short passes, movement, 1 touch football, strength, agility and some awsome skill on show today.

Harry must be thinking himself lucky that only 2 went in.
 
Fecking hell. We're superb again

Did anyone actually make a single miss placed pass? Frightening pace as usual too

Paul Scholes
 
before the great save by vds in the 43d minute i was going to rate him a 7 because of what he did in the locker room

he brillianty tie his shoe laces :)

We played better against Bolton. You would have liked that game...
 
amazing first half hour again. Precise, faultless passing and movement, all at breakneck pace. Dont know any other team in the world who can play like that when on song.

Went a bit flat in the end which is understandable given the pace we were playing at. I think thats been the pattern in the past few games. We have unbelivably amazing 15 min spells in which we basically finish the game. Wigan, Bolton and today.

More of the same please

WE WANT 5!!!
 
Paul Scholes* is unbelievable.

:bow down:





*absolutely no idea who's gonna replace the lad

Thats true. The first 20 mins against Bolton were simply unreal.

This is going to be a huge task for the staff. I personally hope Fergie can turn Rossi into a midfielder, like he did with Scholes
 
oh ffs! is anyone else having problems with UBC36? It keeps sticking on the same advertisement!
