Makes for an interesting finish - see the bookies still think it will be United.

Yes, they are both full of fire, but what about Smith Souness etc and quite a few Rovers players. I don't doubt that United will figure higher in the fair play league than Rovers will even theough Rovers get away with a lot - the unpronouncable one elbowing Duff for instance:rolleyes:;):D

It was clearly outside the box & should've been a free kick & not a pen. Even Jamie Carragher admitted as much when interviewed unlike a certain Manc player ! That unfair advantage then helped us get a win although not one to be proud of.

As to Carrol I still reckon he wasn't worth the money the lumping great thing that he is, so far he's not impressed me at all in any of the games I've seen him perform in, reckon we were sold short as far as he's concerned.

Still at this level it's about points & today we got some so are still following the pack with our only realistic aim being to get a 5th placing to get some European football again next year, dear me how the mighty are fallen eh ? :o

The Theatre of Dreams is filled to capacity for every home game - think Anfield is as well, but doubt that Ewood Park gets capacity crowds. That only happens when United come to town - who played at Ewood for your biggest gate last season Jay?:rolleyes::rolleyes::D:D

Originally Posted by jaysay (Post 893953)

Originally Posted by Barrie Yates (Post 894087)

More likely that they want to watch an attractive match, with everyone trying to beat the Creme de la Creme rather than the mediocre lot at Ewood, who all too often roll over. You don't get capacity crowds because you are a poor team and the spectators don't stay away to go to the Theatre because you have previously said that all United's crowd comes from London:rolleyes::rolleyes::tongueout:D

You may not have noticed it but we have a new bloke at the top now and we all have complete trust in him. Can you say the same about the Glaziers? From the number of cockneys and paddies I see around Manchester wearing green and yellow scarves on matchdays, I'd say not.

As for gloating about the number of times your local club has gone out of business, it takes a particular kind of disloyalty to do that. Fitting really for a plastic Manc.

Nothing much said about Drogba having an altercation with a Chelsea fan as he left the field, and very little about the "harsh" red card for the 2 footed tackle by the Rover's player.
