Well done Newcastle, completely out played us. Any team that presses us quickly and we will buckle. 
Yup, should be sold off now really, what a bad mistake, for a 19 year old CB who has years of experience he really shouldn't be making any mistakes...oh wait.

They haven't had a bad patch yet, it'll happen at some point. Wonder how they'll do when Redknapp goes to prison? (He'll probably slip a few notes to the right people and obtain a get out of jail free card)

What on earth are you talking about?
I meant in terms of wages
what's that got to do with tonights result? bitterness?
and to put that comment into perspective, we paid circa £45m for those 3 players so should they go, we'll just have to scout around and replace for a similar figure and cash the profit for a new stadium
People mentioned Spurs and City, why would I be bitter? LOL
Seriously, not sure if serious?
Modric wanted to go. He has a 5-6 year contract. We said no. He stays. Simple. That goes for every other player now that Harry/Levy wants to keep. If they are in contract and we don't want them to go, they will stay.Levy won't break the wage structure for Adebeyor, it'll be down to Adebeyor to drop his wages if he wants to join, and that may end up being down to how much he is enjoying life at Spurs.
Haha, yep! I notice you/other Tottenham fans don't answer the question, though
we'll give you a tenner for andy carroll?
What are you talking about. Lindegaard couldn't have saved any of those goals tonight and having a defence that is shaky at the moment doesn't help any keeper. When we have Vidic back we will be fine but until then, I don't think either keeper is going to have a good time of things.
There were a few moments tonight when Lindegaard was lucky that the ball didn't fall differently and if it had, they would have gone down as keeper error. De Gea didn't get that luck last game so he made those mistakes.
What are you getting at by the way?

LATEST NEWS:
Manchester United to file complaint against Newcastle after their whole team was abused for 90 minutes.
Manchester United to file complaint against Newcastle after their whole team was abused for 90 minutes.
Where to start?
Obviously injuries dictate who we can play in defence but Ferdinand and Jones simply does not work as a centre back pairing. They were the pairing in the 3-3 against Basel and they were about as bad tonight as they were in that game. Ferdinand was constantly left to deal with Ba on his own and he struggled.
We actually missed Jones in midfield because the pairing of Carrick and Giggs just couldn't match the work rate of Tiote and Cabaye.
Up front too many players out of form, not sure whether Rooney or Fergie is to blame for his form because prior to the game against Wigan when he was rested it looked like he was back but he was left out of the team for that game dropped altogether against Blackburn and was just dominated by Coloccini tonight.
For all the good form Berbatov's in it was proved last season that him and Rooney away from home just doesn't work, both want to drop deep far too much leaving no ball in behind/over the top. There was an immediate change the second Welbeck came on.
To top it all off Nani for the second game in a row was useless, Park was crap, Valencia again was confined to right back and all Hernandez contributed was being caught offside time and time and time again.
It's been clear for a number of weeks now that this is City's title to lose, it's amazing we started the week level on points with them tbh and whilst with there only being a 3 point gap anything can still happen they've clearly got everything going for them this season.

just trying to work out who utd fans feel is to blame? i mean, i know jones has great potential but you conceded 3 tonight, he gave away the free kick that lead to the second and we all know about the 3rd. united conceding 3 on the bounce is not a regular occurance is it? why's it happening, you tried a different keeper tonight, it happened again. i know your squad is depleted but your core was pretty solid.
lindegaard not at fault for any goals. He looks so assured most of the time a bit like a young friedel. De gea makes a mistake every time I see him play and he looks petrified, a but like Gomes. [I do still love Gomes though]
Is that a serious statement?
