Holy moly a shot! Off target, but still!
Pooooooor shot from Rooney.
A shot - woo hoo.
Rooney and Giggs have been fecking wank.
Giggs assist for a Rooney spectacular in the 2nd half then.

The last 5 minutes have allowed us to save some face after being well and truly bossed by Wigan Athletic for the majority of the 1st half
Its a shame that lineman will now be castigated for what was a very good call.
This is what Blackburn used to do to us at the end of the year at Ewood.
giggs and hernandez to be taken off at some stage.
Welbeck and Tom cleverly are better options for the last 30mins

Whining at every opportunity? Read back through these threads , at 0-0 it's always fecking hysteria.
It's not even half time. Wigan have huffed and puffed and created feck all. We are away from home at a club that plays good football, pulls off some great results and is fighting for survival. The disrespect United fans show is whay everyone fecking hates us.
Gotta give Martinez credit - their formation is absolutely perfect against us. Forcing Young and Valencia back, drawing Evra infield and making Giggsy look terrible.
havent seen united so poor for a long long time. Surely the 2nd half will be better, come on you reds!
Why does Rooney always wanna curl it from 30+ yards? Smash it at that distance!
playing bad but we will get better nani and cleverly and this game will be over
Will he shoot himself? His lineup and formation
I think the expression is "flat as feck".
Meh.
Come on you reds.
In the second half.

no one tried to kick on goal before htidiots!
Technical term: Wank.
Just embarrassingly awful.
Giggs, Hernandez and Evra all hang your heads in shame.

Oh deary me.
That's as poor a half of football as I've ever seen from us.
Squeeky bum time, indeed.

Hope SAF sorts things out at HT, very poor so far. We need to keep better possession, Giggs should come off but it's not like to happen.
Thank feck that's over. Now for a different 2nd half please.
what a dreadful first half ,maybe the worst all season
Well...surely, we can't be this bad in the second half. Onwards and upwards!
We need scholes.
Without him we just don't tick. The stats don't lie

Bad half, can only play better than that. Just keep the fecking ball. Should have at least had Scholesy on the bench but we still have more enough quality on the pitch and bench to win it.
That was shit.
I switched off after 20 minutes to watch Game of Thrones.

Rio the only one being good, the others does not want to play football today.
Giggsy is more of an impact player these days. Doesn't seem to be as good when he starts especially in central midfield.
Well it can only get better ..Surely!!!

Said the same, we need them sooner rather than later IMO.
Phew, HT Wigan the new Barca. Second half we will be a different team for sure
Can't believe Carrick did that!
Looks like wigan have figured out our weakness this season: not giving us time on the ball.
Yep, a clever coach and good honest players, to be honest it's a fecking disgrace that more teams don't make the bigger clubs work for their points more often.
I'd considering moving Rooney up front and putting Young in the hole, and move Nani to the left, taking out Chicharito.
Not one chance? It should be 1-0. Wigan got fecked by the refs once again.
qft.
Would it not been better to play Scholes in this match and why do we persist with Giggs in CM especially away from home..
That wasn't very good. Midfield isn't working, Giggs is having one of those days.
