To make life better I had a tenner on Valencia to score first at 11/1.
Awesome !
Book it off, get you a ticket in home end and you can go see Man Utd first time this season!
Yep absolutely agree with what Gary Neville just said that was our best performance in months (maybe one of the best all season). Fantastic signs this close to the end of the season

Not sure I agree because had we not scored two fairly miraculous goals we'd be bemoaning our lack of cutting edge, and Blackburn looked dangerous with the little possession they had. That last ditch tackle from Ferdinand on Yakubu though...
The new Barcelona
lol cant believe they are boasting about passing stats
I suppose when two players that score cost £20 million a piece you have to
dont you drive a truck.

Blackburn were very solid. Had a game plan and stuck to it, all we could do was keep chipping away.

Seriously just stop replying to him, you don't have to justify yourself.

The only thing missing from the first half was shots on goal, chances aren't always shots on target (not IMO anyway) its about openings and we opened them up time and time again just could never get anyone on the end of all the balls we put into their box.
Yes it took two wonder goals but personally I could feel a goal coming sooner or later

Flinging in crosses is hardly opening them up. Until the goal they were mostly comfortable. You could argue they had come closer to scoring.
i just dont understand why he thinks you can only support someone/thing if you go and see them every week.
If he gets a job one day, maybe he'll understand.
It's his little way of trying to wind up fans of proper teams, he's compensating. It makes him feel better. Bizarre, I know.
If we win every game from now til the end of the season and draw against City then we equal the record set by Chelsea. We've scored more goals than anyone else too. It's not too bad, it's just not as full of flair as in the past, but we're pretty solid.
Never watched any other teams play? Referee's call Gerrard "Stevie", Terry "John" and Lampard "Frankie", only yesterday Perch was called "Perchie", so it's a ridiculous comment.
Giggs has made a career out of being one footed. The key is to be good with it, Valencia is an honest to god virtuoso.
I agree entirely, though over the full season I'd still say Krul.
Knowing to cut someone out and doing it are two different things.
Because Valencia's pace over 3 yards is one of the best in the league, Valencia wants people to come tight, then he'll flick it past and cross it, that's why he's so successful. We've gone seasons with Nani holding on, trying to beat someone then drilling a cross into the first man because he didn't cross it quick enough. Actually getting a cross in puts a chance at hand.
It was almost 2 foot out of play when the cross came in.
Loki! <3
Wouldn't necessarily say it was fantastic, we struggled to break them down and continued to be predictable in our approach to attacks. The lack of efforts from us was worrying, Robinson had almost nothing to do (and couldn't do anything about the two that went in), and the fact remains that once again De Gea is the reason we're taking points out of a game by making excellent saves.
Rafael when playing with Valencia is incredible, he gets support, seldom gets out run and comes forward with aplomb, he's also a cracking little passer. With Nani he can't play one two's, doesn't receive overlaps and never gets defensive aid and has two men running at him. Massive difference, and as a result he often gets over 100 touches a match (as I mentioned earlier)
The issue wasn't the crosses, at least 75% of the crosses were actually VERY good, but no one looked interested in getting into the box to attack them. There's nothing else he could do, in the end the inability of other players in attack for us led him to take matters into his own hands as only he at United could.
That's why he's the most dangerous assist player in the league.
Of course it is, every time you put the ball in the box there's a chance of something happening. If defending crossed balls is a piece of **** why even try to stop the supply line? That was the problem last Monday night we weren't getting the ball in the box tonight that's wasn't a problem and we always looked like scoring a goal
