Goal was total horse**** but tbh we dont deserve to be level in this. Utterly ****ing woeful.

DB10

Cant see NU winning unless they get it to 4-1

mark renton

Are the wheels falling off lads?

Newcastle are a very poor side. Pardew was sacked in League 1 not long ago.

Another good bit of play by Giggs taking that off Hernandez and making a break forward winning the free kick. Him, Hernandez and Van Persie are at least making an effort to make things happen so far. Valencia, Scholes and Carrick are happy to trot around and two of them should be taken off at half time.

If Utd defend like this in the Bernabeu the tie will be over after the first leg.
Carrick,Scholes and Giggs are like 3 geriatrics in midfield.

There is little chance Fergie goes with Scholes and Giggs against Real in the Bernabeu in fairness

i hope anyways

United are the best team at coming back from being behind especially at home. Too early for Newcastle to go ahead IMHO.

Look at you trying to lull us United fans into a false sense of hope. Oh ya cheeky divil ya. I won't be listening to your tripe.

DB10

I'm off for a shower. I need to wash that grin off my face. Cant stop laughing people believing Newcastle have a hope off hanging on. Innocent.

RandolphEsq

Evans is playing like a giraffe on ice at the moment. Ughhh

He shouldnt be going with them against anyone ,at least not starting.
3 tortoises in midfield.

BorneTobyWilde

Soft free kick
He brushed him in the box
Compared to the wrestling tackles Rio does defending
I don't get it

Yeah, and he is playing hospital pass after hospital pass.

You need to wash the smell of shíte off your breath.

RandolphEsq

I've seen enough, I am going to eat more turkey.

MagicMarker

Cleverley for Scholes.

I'd even bring on Buttner for Evra.

Only watching from about 20 mins and honestly haven't seen him

BetterCallSaul

You just know that United only have to turn it on for 10 minutes and they will probably win the game. I can't believe just how poor they have being in that first half though.

double GG

Probably one of the worst performances for a long long time! Our play deserves us to be one down but I still don't know how it wasn't given as offside.

SAF better tear into them now.

mike65

At least Fergie has his excuse ready made if they draw/lose by one.

So you think United wont win?

Look at the stats, United are always 2-1 down and win 3-2.

Nuri Sahin

Nice one Newcastle.

United @ 6/4, can't lose either way. United dropping points or money

He's trying to Jinx us. I'd hazard a guess he's 15.

If by Evra you mean Giggs I totally agree with you.

That's a common enough tactic as a defender.

I'd say so. But it's not allowed though. If cisse wasn't being pushed he would have been goalside of Evans and in an onside position.

Pj!

Giggs isn't the problem out there today

DB10

Bring Nick Powell on, the old lads dont have legs. NU have a fast midfield.

I predict 4-2 United.

Rather see Vidic on for Evans. Hes having a shocker. Own goal and yellow card in 45mins (and a goal too obviously but was a tap in). More likely to get sent off than improve in the 2nd half.

spiralism

Get Cleverley on for Scholes. We'll have to stick with Giggs because we have nothing left in terms of depth on the wings.

niallo27

I would not be backing utd they may well come back but at 6/4 it's a shocking price they way they are playing this year.

sob1467

Worth a read over half time: http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/afdeveloping/refereeing/law_11_offside_en_47383.pdf "interfering with play" part. I really have too much time on my hands.

He just would have been less offside but still offside.

Look at the stats.

The bookies are always stung by MU comebacks.

6/4 is a good price. If I only I had money in my account now.

We need to score, Evra's doing sweet FA at the back and going forward. Buttner will get forward imo.

but the amount of times they come back to win is why the price is so low.

Yes because all Asians can't play football and are in teams for advertising. Jesus christ :rolleyes:

bazual

A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is touched or played by a team-mate is only committing an offside offence if, in the opinion of the referee, he becomes actively involved in play by:

Interfering with play
Playing or touching the ball

Interfering with an opponent
Preventing the opponent from playing the ball by obstructing the player's sight or intentionally distracting the opponent

Gaining an advantage by being in an offside position
Playing the ball after the ball has rebounded off the goal, the goalkeeper, or any opponent[

1. Cisse didn't touch the ball, 2. He didnt prevent the opponent from playing the ball, intentionally distracting Evans is debatable and 3. again he didnt play it after Evans touched it.

If Evans didn't touch it and Cisse got the ball it would have been offside. Not offside according to the rules IMO.

God knows why that is. Your wide ranging football knowledge you've shown in this thread makes it hard for me to believe you'd lose money in the bookies :rolleyes:
