BERBA

Marseille are poor , copenhagen in disguise me thinks

Mars Bar

It's so funny watching Gibson jump for headers. It's quite the star jump!

Liam O

The ref is letting an awful lot go in the early stages

Your Airbag

Eh wheres the real Darron Gibson and who is this imposter. Two amazing longs balls to Nani, almost Scholesque. Keep it up son.

J. Marston

Fùcking RTE with their useless audio.
Over to ITV.

Has Carrick touched the ball yet?

How can they possibly be allowing this to happen all the time. They have been covering live sport for donkeys years.

Raskolnikov

Smalling and Vidic needs to stop playing the ball long.

Mars Bar

Great shoulder by Evra there. Love seeing the referee allow that.

bradlente

Ah theres a few touches now.lovely.

I think if Rooney penetrates Fanni at right back we should be ok

I dunno Rod could do some penetrating of his own:p

UrbanSea

Seems lively enough so far.

Nailz

Carrick has touched the ball quite a bit actually.

To the other team quite a bit too.

Raskolnikov

Two nervous teams playing here, Marseille the more so.

Professey Chin

Giving the ball away far too much

missingtime

Utd playing poor, their passing is woeful

UrbanSea

Marseille beginning to play quite well. Could see a few chances develop.

bradlente

After the initial positive start its all got nice and complacent.

MagicMarker

What a shít game.

IvySlayer

Gibson spraying some nice balls forward. Well, one :P

Overall, very bad passing from United.

Raskolnikov

Gibson the star man so far, Carrick has been keek though.

Fuhrer

gibson with another great pass


Can he only play in the champions league?

Quandary

Fletcher and Carrick have been so wasteful its not funny

bradlente

Scholes at half time god willing

Nailz

Another good ball from Gibson.

Mr.Crinklewood

Lovely balls from Gibson.

bamboozling

Have the Gibson haters gone back into their boxes yet? He's been Uniteds best midfielder the past 2 games.

UnitedIrishman

Fierce slow at spotting the obvious pass tonight and then seem to give it when it's not on.

That and our midfield don't seem to want to come get the ball from defence. Improved slightly in last 10 mins.

Raskolnikov

Heinze looks dodge.

You're posting in a United thread?

Mars Bar

Nani looks like he's gonna start crying.

Sorry Urmston United aren't playing tonight. Go back to sleep.

This game needs a goal.

i'd imagine most United fans would be rather happy about this.

The funny thing is id he was playing sh*t you'd be i cutting the back off him

Any reason to have a pop etc etc.

Raskolnikov

Gibson looks to be the only one who wants to play the ball from midfield.

Couldn't resist. :pac:

He's often had good games except whenever he makes a mistake he gets crucified. Used to be Fletch, used to be Nani, Evans is the new fall guy. Same shít. Different player.

Raskolnikov

You'd swear both teams were trying to lose, shocking passing.

You'll find whenever Gibson has been the topic of conversation I have always defended the lad. Always. Find one negative post of mine with regards to Gibson.

I was just about to post about how Gibson is hiding from the ball when United are building possession. He is playing shít.
