Its amusing that people expect much of an atmosphere at any of the bigger English grounds...........still..........as if it is a new thing.......

IvySlayer

Jebus I heard Carrick and Kagawa were starting, was wondering who was beside, Giggs? Cleverly? Anderson? I forget about Fellaini

RVD420

A bit of thuggery there from "The Korean Messi".

Dempsey

How was that a booking?

That referee is going to do something daft later on

Oat23

Balls to that, what a joke of a card!

Yeah it was soft. He impeded Rooney alright but it wasn't the worst.

Very good to see.

Man United fans at Old Trafford remembered there was a game on. What a terrible atmosphere.

Lovely Bloke

How the fúck VP isn't interfering with play in the build up there is beyond me.

Take it though, United have been comfortable.

Arent you glad your a Newcastle fan then and can show off your amazing atmosphere? Oh no wait.....you don't have one either, my bad

LOL at ITV ignoring the United player fouling the keeping thinking the Leverkusen players were complaining about RVP being offside

He didn't make any move toward the ball or show interest in it. Evra was off anyway sure

J. Marston

Yeah, that probably shouldn't have been a goal.

Oh well.

You not see Valencia in an offside position interfering with the keeper? You're blind if you didn't!

Mars Bar

Great positioning from Fellaini there. He's so bloody strong!

niallo27

A foul and offside. Interesting.

I'm only watching this game to see Shinji

but the whole defence moved up to play him off, when he was in the box during at attack.

Val was also probably offside too.

Like I said you take these decisions, it's not United cheating or anything, just bad laws. (unless you're a ABU clown that is, in that case it's a conspiracy to keep other teams down, and all the refs and officials in England and Europe are in on it)

Is it not possible that the commentators really did think they were complaining about the offside?

They missed that Evra was offside for a few minutes like.

Enjoy the ROTFLPYPASOTC though.

Eh? I didn't brag about Newcastle's atmosphere. The atmosphere is dreadful for this game.

Makes a huge difference to the team already

I did, did you not even read the post you thanked?

Nary a mention of the offside of Valencia

Well considering the cameras did pick up the keeper point right away to Valencia and not RVP should give it away

wait until the whole picture goes different shades of green, then start complaining

He was moving away from the ball, he showed no interest in it. It happens a lot tbh

the defence wasn't moving up specifically to play him off, it was just moving up after they cleared the ball, natural!

The laws puzzle some, annoy others and all the rest of it, but nothing wrong with what RVP did there or the refs interpretation of it. Not seeing that Evra was offside is another matter of course

Im sure David Gill has seen to it that we get more then our share of dodgy goals this season anyway

Ya, he's laughing at what ITV thinks is going on

Lovely Bloke

I don't disagree with you Kryogen

I disagree with you Dempsey, given the poster's history of United related conspiracy postings

Valencia was both offside and fouling the keeper

The atmosphere is dreadful for practically every big English ground when compared with their European counterparts

Good work David Gill then.

I agree for the most part but of a Champions League night for the first game of the group stage you'd expect the place to be hopping. I'm just not hearing it through my TV really. Pity really.

Rayne Wooney

This is decent football United are playing, nearly 65% possession and no endless monotonous hopeful crosses into the box, actually playing ball.

Valencia sticks out badly in this style of play, hopefully we see the same tactics but Nani in for him some time in the future, it could be devastating.

Fenix

Been impressed with Fellaini thus far. Goal shouldn't have stood, hopefully can grab another before HT.

Lovely Bloke

jesus, should have been a goal there

Kerrydude1981

RVP went down a blind alley there

Thought he was to nut the ref
