That'll do.

I love it when we play **** and still win.

Well done Nani and extra Kudos because I put you in as my FF Captain

FrankJH · 4 Jan 2011 at 21:53

Utd held on - I can now stop holding my breath!!

Another valuable 3 points, White Hart Lane next (in the league) which will be a huge test if all 1st XI isnt fit/ available

Must be loving this season so!

Yep Played **** and won, no-one does it better than United

Nani back and once again is involved in everything, scores one, sets one up. What a season he's having.

I do like the new Sig G|mp

Sad to see Blackpool lose, one of the few teams that deserve to stay up.

How on earth are they doing it! United are so painstakingly average this season, yet they still manage to grind out results! :mad:

Hopefully Spurs get a win at the lane next weekend!

So glad we got the win today, I forgot what the winning feeling was like. Got to take my hat off to Blackpool, they really are a breath of fresh air to the league.

United got the win, which is fair enough. But it's well past the stage for legitimate excuses for why they are so complacent against (forgive me Stoke fans) lower opposition.

ONESHOTKILL · 4 Jan 2011 at 22:00

nani deserves to wear the no7 shirt hopefully when owen dissapears lol

cm1179 · 4 Jan 2011 at 22:01

OptaJoe on Twitter: "There were just three shots on target in the Man Utd v Stoke City match this evening, all beating the 'keepers.

That's how bad they are. Still, it's the stuff of champions....

Shamikebab · 4 Jan 2011 at 22:03

Feel a bit sorry for PIG, barely had anything to do in 2 matches but he had no chance with either goal.

[J.D.C] · 4 Jan 2011 at 22:03

That's the problem - everyone assumes that. Maybe we've already seen the best of this side against Blackburn.

There's a *cough* programme on channel 121 on Sky.

Not sure if I'll bother with any footy highlights, this seems more interesting.

To be fair Rooney's been out for majority of the season, as has Valencia

plus Utd have two old (irreplacable) war-horses who cant play every match ( so Utd are playing the season with one hand tied behind their backs

)

Imagine what Utd could do if Fergie had £25m + for each replacement..... (there are good players around, but no-one is like for like replacement....who actually want to come to EPL to start with)

Yes Utd are playing **** - unquestionably, so how badly are Arsenal, Chelsea, etc etc playing then lol

Rooney's been ****. Nevermind his injuries and money-grabbing issues.

Rooney can be replaced by Hernandez quite frankly at the minute. United need creative men in the middle. Fletcher is a push & go guy and due to the Scholes age-factor, they have literally nobody (well..maybe Giggs) who can do that role well.

Kaka? Is that the rumour? That's what Fergie needs, that's sort of player.

No point even replying to that

No he cant - dont be ridiculous

Hernandez is a great player already and should get even better, but Rooney is exceptional - yes he has had a bad 2010 , fair enough but he isnt anywhere near the scrapheap either

Apart from anything else Hernandez doesnt have (and should be expected to have) broad enough shoulders to drag the team kicking and screaming thru a must win match like Rooney has done in the past and no doubt will do again (if he didnt at the weekend)

You really believe what the red-tops print!!! If you do , that kind of explains the first quote above.

It will never happen (apart from anything its too much of a risk given his recent injuries), and certainly not for the £50m quoted - even with a loan to start with

He's been excellent since he got back from injury :confused:

Mad a massive difference to Berbatov and his link up play has been brilliant.
