New manager (sort of) same old ****.
He said he wanted to give the team one more chance, how many chances do they need?
Same negative football, same team selection as last game and same lack of quailty, motivation and self belief.
I thought we were better, but that's not saying much. The Welsh weren't good, they just took their chances.
I was expecting changes, more attacking, playing two wingers, ect ect but I'll have to hope that we get changed next game, pitty it's Newcastle who will probably destroy us.
Postitive news is that game is sold out, 10'000 Newcastle fans and we've sold out
so will be a good atmosphere.
/not that anyone cares about Sheffield Wednesday.
Liverpool, didn't see that coming (okay I was kinda hoping they'd lose) They'll put a run together at some point and with the league been fairly tight...
United, got well beaten by Fulham by all accounts, cracking result for Fulham, poor for United but United did have a lot of injuries and mainly in defence.
Snow was fun though came down quite bad on the way home! Looking like it's going to snow over night as well

Stupid Fergie dropping Berbatov
It was more to do with the midfield though, our best 2 midfielders playing in defence meant Owen and Rooney were having to come deeper and deeper to get the ball.

There's only 5,700 Newcastle fans going. We sold out and asked for more I think but you guys said no.

*grumbles obscenitys to himself* I think that's about all i need to know :|
They announced that they'd sold 10'000 for you lot? Unless I misheard
Nah, definitely less than 6k. Should still be a decent crowd though.
Man Utd crisis? Just seen MOTD. No strength in depth in the defensive department is obviously Man Utd's downfall. Fergie has focussed on bringing in midfielders in recent times in a vain attempt to find another Keane.
He should have bolstered the defense too, as he doesn't seem to have any real faith in any of the youth defenders.
Also, in this game and last week against Villa: why the hell didn't Ferguson unleash Obertan? Erratic and unpredictable, but he's proven he can create chances and did well against wolfsburg in his last game. Instead United end up with 3 strikers on without anyone to support and feed them.
The league certainly isn't over yet but Fergie has to buy well in January to mount a serious challenge.

Dont talk carp please
Rio, Vidic, Brown, Evans, Neville, Hargreaves (being a very good full right back when needed), 2* da Silva (Fabio came on for 1st sub appearance after injury), OShea all out injured prior to the game - 8 defenders all missing plus our clear No1 goalie (PIG was definitely at fault for at least one goal - although he also made a blinding save and saved a corner from being awarded) - if anything thats OVER strength in depth
Just unlucky in the defensive department at the moment with all the injuries
Both Da Silva's are great going forward but they need to learn how to defend (as they are still very young) - not only that but rarely is someone put straight on from the start after an injury (and without scholes's stupidity utd would have lasted until after the 1st half before conceeding ) so it was sensible not to put Fabio on until when Fergie did
As stated earlier Murphy seems to save himself for Utd games - but saying that Utd really didnt press and harry in the midfield as they should, they were 2nd to most balls for majority of the game, and the speed wasnt in the away team's game yesterday to break Fulham down , I suspected this would be a bad result
Obertan is a great player but Im not entirely convinced it would have made much difference (and I gave up hoping when Welbeck came on, I just dont see why he got a new contract recently unless its to do with having an extra homegrown player in the squad)
Brought more to Oakwell though didn't you?
Must have been the fantastic facilities!
I have to say, the locals were nice but the facilities....
Two toilets for almost 8k fans = carnage. Gotta love the Championship.
I'll take your word for it!
Still we are going to get completely ****ing destroyed by Newcastle.
Rafa is cracking up
