Manchester United v Middlesbrough

ro2

0-0 at the moment. Van Nistelrooy just had a penalty saved. United are throwing everything at them.

It's all over. Still a chance for Liverpool to take second if United draw/lose at the weekend..

At least theres something riding on the final day this season, what with the relegation issues sorted. Up to Arsenal to keep the 4th place fight open (hopefully they wont).




SP showing pictures of gary "fans favourite" Neville argueing with the Utd fans. Some guy telling him hes a disgrace and neville giveing him a few **** offs.

I watched it streaming, wasn't great, Utd should have scored a few times, but most were half chances (apart from the penalty). Boro didn't venture forward much for the second half. An early goal from either team would have made it much better, it seems Utd. slipped into what they do in seasons past when they can't win the league, they would want to be up for Charlton on Sunday.

This run of games boro have is crazy, the fa should try help them a bit by seeing if they could shift a game somewhere. Thurs, Sat, Mon, Thurs, Sun, Wed is a lot of games.

How? There's no room the season has to end on Sunday, they are suffering the problem of success. Just as well they are'nt in the FA Cup too. Liverpool had similair problems in the treble season (played 62 games) but with the 'luxury' of an extra week in the domestic season.

Boro will play 64 games (the pesky UEFA Cup group stage)!

United very, very bad apparently.

PHB

It was a little bit of both tbh.
United's midfield was non existant, I mean completey, the defense realised it had to stop passing to Giggs, Evra, and O'Shea and did so.
When Ronaldo came on he was United's biggest threat, but by that fact Boro were sitting back, and as often happens when a team sits back, they get the draw.
Van Nist actually hit a good peno, it a was fantastic save, not only to stop it, but to hold onto it. When looking back on the replays it was clear he didn't actually realise what was happening. But thats the sort of luck you need to get the draw.

Once again highlights the problems in midfield, but some importantly, saw a great showing from the soon to be free agent Boetang

Who started for boro?

a fan had a go at neville at the end of the game and neville turned back and confronted him.

Iain Dowie and Alan Smith both agreed it is a good thing for players and fans to square up to each other, what a stupid thing to say...

Dont see the logic in there thinking at all, surely that can only lead to problems and a rift between players and fans.

My brother is fairly sure he's off to United, not sure where he heard it though.
