The goal should have never stood but it's difficult to blame the officials. It was nigh on impossible to see the handball or to be certain whether it was offside.

Well another Fergie away wonder there, 1-0 up and strolling with 20 mins to go so he takes Anderson off for Fletcher, stick everyone behind the ball bar Berbatov and says "go on attack us". And just like in the other away games we've played this season where we've tried to defend a 1-0 lead they ******* score. What an utter waste. We could have a healthy lead if we'd stop inviting teams to score late goals against us.

Why did Gibson start? Why didn't we play two up front against Birmingham? Why didn't we go in for the kill after the goal?
Could've made things a hell of a lot easier for ourselves and even awful calls like today's wouldn't have saved McCleish if we were leading by a couple.

Eight away games, one victory, seven draws. Scored 12 conceded 11. That is an appalling record for the league leaders.
God knows why Fergie was showing such 'respect' to a team in the relegation zone. Stick to 4-4-2 because it has been working wonders for us lately. If Nani and Park are out you don't just stick an extra lump in midfield (and when it comes to Gibson that's an accurate description) Then you don't root Rooney to left wing, why not play Obertan and keep our shape?

Schhhteve Machhhhhmanaman 
You've got to assume that with you playing 2 games in 3 days compared with this being Birmingham's first game in 16(?) days, Fergie felt it was important to have an extra pair of legs in the middle.
Unfortunately a lot of the United fans on this forum have no sense and Fergie is the devil.
I didn't say it was the right decision, just trying to work out why you've changed from a system that's been working so well.
And he is the devil.

I suppose, but you're hardly going to be blitzed straight down the middle by a relegation zone Birmingham are you?

Loving it, great result for us against the red devils. Just shows the belief we got in the team. Just need to start scoring more goals. Though I would have taken a draw before kick off.
I'd imagine he did it because of what you said, the fact we played two days ago and the games we've got coming up really.

You would think officials would see balls that are 3 foot over the line but they dont sometimes.
Going to retire on that £14.73 cheets?
beer money for friday, feels good man
His arms were tucked into his body; the ball could have easily hit his chest and the lino's also looking through Bowyer. It's an extremely hard call.
And the offside is still too close to call even after looking at the replays.
Didn't notice the possible foul on Ferdinand when it happened but he didn't seem to complain about anything.
