Made no difference, they scored within 2 mins ET.

demoralized the Villa players. If it was only 3 maybe they could have held out.

It's a fair point, when you're defending a point with the nails a 4-5 min announcer can touch your nerves.

It hurts a lot this, but anything is possible.

Its hard to take but Im sure yesterdays result was tough to take for Uniteds fans

This title is not over yet and remember they are only 1 ahead, i know they have a game in hand but they still have to win it. Roll on next week. Sunderland are fighting for there lives and im sure Mr. Cisse will be getting a few texts during the week from the Liverpool area

No surprise he was shit, it was Mike 'I'm a manc scum loving gimp' Riley.

From what I saw of the game (which weren't too much) the Mancs are still there for the taking by teams and I believe they WILL drop more points before the seasons out. We have to make sure we capitalize when they do.

It's not over till that fat lady has sung and I don't think she's even warmed her vocal chords up yet.

Its odd that somehow if they bossed the game from 1-90 and won 2-0 or 3-0, it wouldn't feel like they had gained an advantage in the league race because we still only need them to draw twice.

If United continue to play as poorly as they did for the first 80 minutes, they will draw those 2 games.

villa are fecking shyte feckin couldnt hold mannure for atleast 10 mins.. feck them all... man would have been great if mannure had dropped some points.. oh well what could we do aye nothing but keep on winning

United are far from invincible. We showed teams how to play them - get right in their faces, have a go and whatever you do, don't sit back and wait for them to attack you. If you have a go at them you will score, they leave themselves with only two or three at the back for long spells.

You sit back and they'll put goals past you -look at Villa today.

The point is that teams know how to make it difficult for us - shut up shop and we don't have that many game breakers in the team and might struggle. Against United, teams have more joy doing the exact opposite - have a go at them and you're more likely to pick up points. I also think us battering them shattered some of the fear factor that surrounded them this season for opposing teams. I still think if we win our remaining games the title's ours, and Arsenal will have a massive say in where the title ends up.

Tell you one thing, that young fella the Scanks brought on looks like he has a very bright future....helluva track record in the U18's and the Reserves......why, oh why, are we not picking up players like that ?

by **tubby** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 11:14 pm

They have a good scouting network utd. I wonder how much they paid for him.

Spot on..

Alot of teams tend to give to much respect to mannure and just sit back and play deep in thier own half. If you attack mannure you could achieve results.

Generally because we can't afford to p*ss £20m into the wind on kids.

I don't think he cost that much but he probably cost a lot more than we would be able to afford for a 17 year old. Shame really as it would better to spend on promising youth and then blood them into the team.

As soon as United equalised to go 2-2, everyone knew they were going to get the winner, it's just what they do. They're just fortunate to have a player like Ronaldo because even if he's playing sh#te (which he generally did yesterday), he can still pull something out of the fire for them like he did again. As for the added time, what did anyone really expect? I was surprised it was only 5 minutes.

This isn't over by a long shot believe me. We're playing far better than them at the moment and points will almost certainly be dropped between now and the end of the season.
