** Football 21/22 April ** *spoilers*

pretty good midweek for us. chelsea are gone now i think.

6 points plus a game - Arsenal to play both.....

Spurs to play both Liverpool and Utd

and we have to play City yet too

We did well, but energy levels where awful, OShea and Neville both injured tonight...Ferdinand either just sitting it out or injured again

Im not overly confident (esp with woeful finishing)
 
is it just me who thought we were really quite good in that game apart from the finishing? the commentators on bbc radio 5 and on talksport are talking like we were poor for long periods.
 
Very comfortable tonight, thought Anderson was fantastic and worked tirelessly, as did Fletcher.

Totally controlled the game without working too hard aside from in the center where we have the most players, so a job well done. Giggs didn't have his shooting boots on though, clearly, he should have bagged a hat-trick :p.
 
I thought we played well, we just never got fully going.

On another night, those 3 tight offsides might have gone the other way, and we'd have been talking about a 5-0 drubbing.

Quite pleased with the game overall.
 
united made that a lot harder than it should have been, should have been game over after the first half.

i dunno, three offside goals, at least one shouldn't have been, we had full control in the 1st half but let P'mouth play a little in the 2nd half, i wasn't nervous and expected the 2nd goal to come :), though should have been much more.

Also, when Fabregas went through in the 96th minute and got given offside, I've got it here in front of me now... He wasn't. They didn't show any replays of that during the game as it was right at the end. But he is absolutely level.

Irrelevant anyway.

Yeah I was annoyed at the lack of a replay, I was going berzerk in the pub and then realised it hadn't been given. The Bendtner one I thought was potentially offside (although certainly no worse than Barca's "goal" in the 2006 CL final).

Anyway I think we've blown any chance we had of getting automatic CL qualification via the league, so we'll have to rely on winning it this year to achieve that. Here's hoping we can get a few players fit over the summer to mount a proper challenge for 2nd next year.
 
How the **** has he only played 8 games since he arrived

I wasnt criticizing him - I was just expecting him to be on the chart for top scorers in the league on last night's form , and he hadnt even got the 9 the lowest person currently has, I was just surprised that was all

He's cuptied in the CL, Arsenal were out of the League cup and don't forget that he didn't actually join the club until February. He had a little injury which coupled with the international break meant didn't make his debut until the 21st i.e. he's only been playing 2 months. Don't forget a few weeks back we had another week with no games due to internationals. Then remember that due to the scheduling of the Russian season he has needed a bit of time to get back up to speed.
