That's something Ferguson is failing to achieve without Ronaldo, for instance.

Yer he threw vidic upfront for the last 20 minutes

A defeat against the mancs may have not brought his sacking, but it would have meant a divorce betweem him and many fans. This has been a massive game. We took risks, we pressed them high in the pitch, we placed a newbie in the team in the left against Manchester United, we bet and we won.

Football is a state of mind and this victory will give some very needed oxygen to Rafa.

Good point, mate.  Rafa did take some risks today.  He could have easily played for 1-1 in the second half.  Instead he brought Gerrard and Babel on to win the thing.  I think we would have seen Torres as well, if we hadn't gone ahead when we did.  Those subs were risks, IMO, because--Gerrard's fitness aside--the team was playing really well during that stretch and the subs may have interrupted our rhythm.  But, we didn't look like scoring and that's why I applaud the changes...because it highlighted the fact that we wanted to win it.

Are you serious?  Read back what Saint posted and tell me what action I'm supposed to take?  FFS, He's talking football on a football forum.  He's not hurling abuse or resorting to vulgar gay jokes...he's talking football.  You really should try it sometime.
