Bad poll.

having to shift Fletcher back into defence has exposed our brutal midfield, that was being sellotaped together by fletch's immense performances.

Have to agree with that.

Gibson is not good enough and Anderson has frankly went backwards this season. Fletcher seems to be the only player who has stepped up and that's no good when he's in defence.

It probably appears that I am just taking the oppurtunity to wind ye up after a bad result so I will leave it at what I posted earlier.

last post i promise


FWIW your posts are some of the very few on here that I actually bother to read and im annoyed mainly because of the ****e i just watched.

But I do entirely disagree with your assessment but its a valid opinion, just like Mitch's too.

Or Aston Villa or Spurs...

yeah suppose. I have a feeling Villa will fall away if they get a few injuries.

Both Arsenal and United need to buy in January. Striker most likely.

Gosh darnit but expected with no CB's available.

not really expected

where was our attack today, where has our attack been for awhile now ?

(dont include the wolves game )

Arsenal don't need to buy a striker = they have the second highest number of goals scored in the league - 41 vs 42 for Chelsea. It's what's happening at the other end that's causing the problems

5 losses before Xmas, pretty much no hope United will retain the Premiership.. 5 losses over the course of a season is pretty poor for any team challenging the title. As a few of ye said, unless Chelsea have a horrific next few weeks AND United get their arses in gear the title will be Chelseas.

Fergie needs to dip into the coffers for some defensive cover, today coupled with Vidic apparently Barca bound come May and Rio being the wrong side of 30. Bet fergie wishes he hadn't let Silvestre go now....

Lol, lets not get too far ahead of ourselves.

CR 7

Maybe one positive to take from the game: Our fans are magnificent. No other teams away fans would have: (1) stayed till the end in those circumstances, (2) kept singing at 3-0 down, to the point where the home support are silenced.

Not often a situation like this arises, so it's nice to see.

Well I changed the title to ensure that it was no longer homophobic and I also wanted to make sure that it was not too upsetting for the more sensitive types. Unfortunately I could not delete it.

Apologise if people thought I meant that those who do not like the use of the word gay as a derogatory term were over sensitive. That is not what I meant at all, what I meant was that I did not want to change it from Gay to absolutely abysmal, rubbish, beyond awful or whatnot and upset the Man U fans.

From BBC Live text:

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson: "I hope this defeat doesn't cost us the league - we need defenders back to go for the league and the quicker the better. We're working overtime to get them back but there's no light at end of tunnel at moment, that's for sure. The players are feeling a little bit sorry for themselves at moment."

I have to say, I disagree with the result of the poll, I thought it was a very poor performance today

Did you change the options to Yes and Yes or were they already like that?

Sorry but that is an extremely hypocritical comment that I don't think warrants much of a response because it will lead to stupid bickering that has nothing to do with any match.

Ok I wil just talk about the match.Delighted for Fulham today. Great win.

Valencia took a big dive in the first half and Rooney should have been booked/sent off for his consistent and dangerous two footed tackles.

Zamora had one of his worst ever misses for us in the first half.

Good result though.

Well done to Fulham yesterday.

Fantastic result. It made a shíte day a tad better.

Injuries aside United are becoming quite a boring team to watch because they dont have the quality they once had and are forced to be dogged and hard working with players like Park and flecther and rooney has never been used properly since he came to united, his best position is just behind a 30 goal a season striker, something we havent had since ruud left us.

Ronaldo is a massive massive loss, he allowed the other players to be workers while he got us has many goals as a prolific striker from midfield

Im not sure about the stories about us being broke are true, I mean we did actually offer 26m for teves but they wouldnt accept it

I am not surprised they didnt invest the ronaldo money actually because he was such a great player for us trying to replace him immediately would have been impossible, I think their plan was to consolidate the loss play for a year and any new signings would have a bigger impact as we would have ronaldo out of the team for a year

I think fergie knows deep down that this team is not good enough to win the league this year

I really hope they go all out and buys Krasic from CSKA moscow because the lad looks class everytime I have seen him play plus he is a united fan too

I would also like us to go for dzesko at wolfsberg

We will probably need a new centre back too because I dont tink rio's injuries are going to go away, I would like us to get shawcross back

Lastly we will need a new keeper and the guy at Lyon looks the best one around

MagicMarker

Rio for Shawcross...

*sigh*
