Man UTD V Bolton - 3pm

GET IN!!!

Delighted.

Great work with the reverse jinx Archie. I think I deserve some credit for some Trojan jinxing in the Arse matchthread as well.:pac:

There's something very ghey about the imagery in that post.

Another game that's taken days off my life.

Just annoyed at Evans.

Please blow the whistle at the Hawthorns!

In fairness to evans it was a desperation lunge. He had his eyes on the ball and made contact with it but it was reckless. Hope holden isn't badly hurt and recovers soon

You must certainly do, it was a one man show in there today! Top, top performance. We've hit top jinxing form when it matters most. The sign of champions indeed.

Dave!

Sure Berbatov never shows up in the big games, never scores when it matters, just gets tap-ins against the sh*t teams, etc.

Nice time for a two week break. It'll give Arsenal something to wreck their heads about for the next fortnight.

I'm going to have to figure out a way of writing jinxing into the charter as a bannable offence with you two in such a rich vein of form...

Didn't see any of the game, was at a fooling christening party all day. Knew it was nil all on the way home, got in to the car and United were 1-0 up.

Absolutely delighted. Huge huge win Made my day tbh.

Dave!

Wasn't mad about bringing on Berbatov at HT, thought Chicharito was making some decent runs and we were playing well enough, figured it was a matter of time til we score.

Pretty happy about it now though

LuckyGent88

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

Great stuff from Smalling, Nani, Valencia and Rooney.

Exclamation Marc

I'd like to see him trying playing Berba and Chicharito up front with Rooney playing from midfield, maybe have him just behind the front two with Fletcher in front of the back four.

That or see what the Berba-Chicharito partnership is like.

It's a risky game lads, but ye play it well.

Well deserved win. As i said Bolton would not make the extra man count and ye came up with the goods yet again. Arsenal dropping points is also a big plus....

THE SIGN OF CHAMPIONS:D:D

A tired cliche, but one with a hell of a lot of truth to it.


As a Liverpool supporter I will be holding out for something to stop United winning number 19 this season, but it is wishful thinking more than it is a genuine hope methinks.

The summer will no doubt see the usual talk of how United are past it, have too shallow a squad etc., and all the usual writing off of United that seems to happen each season.

I'm just hoping for a summer of United being tipped to win everything, in the hope it puts a jinx on them.

How is this a red card? Easy game, never in doubt

I really hope Holden is ok though, only a year since De Jong broke his leg, he's cursed.

people are telling me I'm crazy, but there is constant talk about how united are swetting for a creative midfielder, and I think there is one sitting there in Wayne Rooney.

I think that with some time he could be a sensation.

Was only thinking out loud with the Marseille game, that he was drifting into the centre of the park firing beautiful passes around, and was wondering if he was told to do it, or was he liking it.

I'd like to see it happen, Berba chico up front with Rooney playing as an attacking midfielder. Has the fire, determination and stamina to do it box to box. Hits some unreal passes aswell.

Can anyone clear up the rule/law for me...

Evans two feet are in the air, but one goes into the tackle a bit high.

Is that an automatic red because the two feet leave the ground? Or did he send him off because he caught him late and a little high?

Think its a factor of all three TBH, but moreso because his two feet left the ground...

Well, in fairness, he went into the tackle all wrong, he did leave the ground and the studs were out a bit, in essence it was a 50-50 tackle, if he would have went in knees and toes there wouldn't have even been a free. But having said that, it wasn't a red, a yellow if anything at all.

Aye if you reverse the camera to Holden's back then it will look the exact same.

Evans went over the ball high off his two feet and was late...thats why i said a factor of those 3 things, had he slid in it wouldn't have been a red IMO then again i'm not a ref so dont quote me on that

50/50 challenge. Both went in with 2 feet off the ground. Evans went in with more conviction.

And that's why he was sent off?

Conviction is now a bookable offence it appears.

True but Evans beat him to the tackle itself, so that overshadowed the fact that Holden was attempting the exact same tackle.

I'm sure if Holden had been first into the tackle then Evans would be the one injured and Holden would have been sent off.

Lads, it is a red card. Holden does do the same thing but nobody is going to notice because he didn't win the ball and came out of it the worst. I'm not saying it's right but that's just the way it is.

If you leave the ground like that and go in with two feet, it's a red card these days. And rightly so because it has huge potential to cause serious injury, as Stuart Holden may find out, unfortunately.

The two-footed part of two-footed tackles doesn't refer to how many feet are not touching the ground.;)

The other two points seem to be ignoring the fact that he won the ball.

Seems to me that if the law of the game is followed to the letter, then both players should have gotten a red card.

I wonder how would the ref have dealt with it if the players had done the same but had no serious injury between them.

Reminds me of when Kyrgiakos and Fellaini both went in hard with studs showing. Both players should have gotten cards going by the rules, but the injured player escaped a card despite his tackle carrying the same threat of injury.

Heard a few people on the radio cackling about whether Ferguson would be as vocal about this challenge as he was about the Carragher one, but despite how bad the injury was today I don't think the tackles can be compared.

Today's tackle was one where either player could have gotten that injury, and both players went in fairly and with no malice from what I can see from the replays, the Carragher tackle is one that I cannot defend.

Same as Gerrard's in the cup it was because it was sent off for two footed tackle

citytillidie

It looks like both could have been sent off but because it was the Bolton player who came out with the injury then Evans was the one sent off
