MOTD2 don't show the Ramsay handball or Walcott on Evra. Typical. :/ The Vidic handball is a "huge injustice", the clear penalty on Owen is "maybe a penalty". Great coverage.

Doesn't being 'the man', by the very definition of the word, imply that he's fallible?
Never got the whole synonymity 'respect' apparantly has with a complete lack of discussion in football. It's not we're proposing the decapitation of Fergie at Carrington here.

What was that song on MOTD2 just before the Liverpool vs Newcastle game.
Sounded a bit guitarish.

Bit of an odd post if he simply meant that, don't you think?
There are plenty of sides that have been consistently poor home and away this season.
I'll actually agree with you for once that was mind boggling as was the starting XI tbh, Arsenal haven't beaten us for years once we figured out that they're useless against us when we match them up 4-3-3 but for some reason Fergie stuck with 4-4-2 today
I can only imagine it was down to a lack of Scholes (suspended), Giggs (rested) & Fletcher (not match fit) being available.Even with the 4-4-2 though they weren't troubling us until Anderson was taken off, personally out of him and Park I'd of said the latter should have been subbed if anyone anyway, as it was Valencia was crap when he came on as well.
Bad weekend all round tbh, just hope our home form keeps us ticking over when we play Chelsea next week....
I'm completely expecting us to **** it up now, probably end up losing to Chelsea, drawing away at Blackburn and beating Blackpool.
It's completely unusual for me to feel like this as I'm usually positive, this weekend has just completely shot my faith.

The midfield never really worked for the whole game ( little concerntrated pressure on their goal imo) but it was decidedly worse once Park was put in the middle thats for sure, I was suprised Fletcher wasnt given a few minutes as a sub today as he came through the reserves match on Thursday without issue (according to reports)
Thought Valencia did ok and worked hard, did a lot of tracking back and forth but admittedly his crosses werent effective as usual
edit - Daily Fail admittedly but interesting reading none the less

Interesting they thought Clichy should've been shown a red. Wasn't last man was he?

Its true, that was a bit of a problem.
Shame we lost im sure we had a 3-2 situation and nani managed to pick off their keeper. I think we should be starting berbatov more and bringing hernandez on. Hernandez is pretty bad in possession, and at the first half, being able to keep the ball up top via berba would have worked wonders maybe. Thn throw on hernandez for the last 30 to use his pace...

Not really, it's a fair point that most clubs haven't been consistently woeful or good throughout the season.Bit of an odd post if he simply meant that, don't you think?

And that last sentence there is you 'answering his post' rather than him doing so, which was my original point.

That's if he meant what you're suggesting. When people talk about consistency in football, I don't think they mean consistently bad.

I always had a soft spot for Wolves but the game against Everton sort of summed them up for me, had by far the better of the first half but a lack of concentration (and luck) meant they went in 3-0 down at half-time...
They're great to watch and have a bit of bottle going forward, it's just that they can't convert their chances and I'd imagine there's a lot of Wolves supporters slowly losing a lot of a hair from those games where they dominate in all areas except the most important one - goals.
I was hoping for them to stay up, and they still have a great chance in their last three games, but being held by Birmingham and other teams they more than have the ability to beat makes me think they're for the chop unfortunately.
