Reminded me of the belter Ronaldo scored, might have been against Bolton?

Just a bullet of a shot.

Was against Portsmouth. One of my favourite goals he banged in for us. James never moved. Never seen a free kick arrowed dead straight into the absolute top corner like it.
Still remember sky doing a terminator type montage of him aiming it up in build up to champions league final.

Great days!!

Great goal for them to concede.They will cry and whinge about it but no one to blame bar themselves. Lads still arguing to the ref 5 minutes later.

id say they are giving out about Hazards dive for the free kick.... stevie G won plenty of them frees and penos down through the years

It wasn't a dive, more of an engineered foul. There was contact but Hazard drew the contact.

One of the best free kicks Ronaldo ever scored. Just brilliant.

Trigger

Can just remember David James reaction to that.. he stood there and his defender said something and he shruges and says something like "what the **** am I supposed to do there"

His goal from play in that game was pretty special too if I remember right. Class control of a ball over the top and despite a tight angle his second touch/the finish was so quick after the initial control that it was past David James before he even realised it!

As World Cup final referee Howard Webb said the player was clever in getting that free kick

Comeback on for Arsenal.

Never doubted it. They'll win it now.

Speaking of Ronaldo against Portsmouth, always will remember this belter.

Great results tonight !

Unearthly

Cheers Moyes

J. Marston

Costa, you gobshíte.

€10 on Liverpool now to ease the pain for the inevitable 92nd minute Mane winner.

GSPfan

So Arsenal lose today and have Chelsea away on the weekend. If we win two games then we may be level on points with them come Sunday. Spurs giving us hope too of catching them with that draw. Mad season. We need two wins now. We need to get out of 6th.

Lord TSC

Arsenal losing and Spurs drawing is great for us. Hopefully Chelsea don't lose; even a draw there means Pool drop points too.

GSPfan

Just need Chelsea now to grab a sickner.

They had their chance and Costa bottled it. They just need to hold on now.

What a huge game again tomorrow for us, this time we cant afford to drop points

Pool might get caught on the break

BenK

Massive few games coming up for United now. The table could look a lot healthier, all going well. Sick of still being in 6th place at this stage!

Liam McPoyle

Hopefully the Scouse don't get one.

We have had opportunities to make proper ground on a few occasions and cocked it up, if we have top 4 ambition then we simply cannot fcuk up, especially considering those ahead of us are playing each other over the next 2 weeks.

Rayne Wooney

Couldn't have asked for better results

Can go 3 points off second tommorow, and Arsenal v Chelsea at the weekend

jayo26

Win tomorrow is so so important now the four teams above us dropped points and city have a hard enough game tomorrow night.

Rossi IRL

A win tomorrow and its 2/3 points gained on all our rivals.

Knowing that we will probably lose.

Flint Fredstone

Everyone forgetting about City

So would be within 3 points of second place, no games in hand for anyone, with a win tomorrow.

GSPfan

City have two very winnable games coming up. The league table after tomorrow will be two teams on 47, two on 46, and us on 44. if our game finishes before Citys tomorrow we will briefly be in 5th with a win. Yay.

Edit. Ah balls they play before us! Ha. Fook my life.

This was the one I was reminded of, ball goes up and down the same way, but the keeper/wall are ready for it and still can't do anything. That last camera angle from behind.:eek:

irishfeen

Tomorrow night now is a must win, no excuses, no s.hite excuses just a must win game!

PhlegmyMoses

We need to put Hull to the sword tomorrow night. Build some momentum and improve GD.

West Ham have been in good form so I wouldn't be surprised if City drew.

Jayop

Nice, 4 of the 5 teams ahead of us dropped points with City to play. Please god we do a better job on Hull than last week!!

Amazing how tight it is now at the top, 3 points potentially between 2nd and 6th. Has it ever been this tight for CL places before?? Only Chelsea safe.

I don't care if we score in the first minute and bring on 3 defenders and play with 11 behind the ball for 90 minutes it's a game we simply have to win.

If they players can't get motivated now to hammer Hull then I don't know what will.

The_Kew_Tour

Tonight really could not have gone much better.

Chelsea maybe winning, but I have taken draw beforehand.

Arsenal being Arsenal.

I'm happier with the draw. Pool will slip again and again....not worried about them. Their squad is very thin and those miles will catch up.

I still hold some very low reservations of a title challenge. We still need to play Chelsea....they will drop more points...it's fickle I know but.....FOOK IT

Possible, but Im banking on a City win. Id only be delighted if West Ham surprised me.

RobertKK

City are away to West Ham, City will probably win, but they could just as easily drop points.
All that matters is United win, and at least it is at home.

Who am I to be bursting bubbles but seriously we are not catching Chelsea. A 2nd place finish and one or two cups would be a fantastic season when you put it all in perspective.

jaykay74

Liverpool might have dropped points tonight but they played well and have a lot of free time in the weeks ahead. I had hoped their freefall was terminal but I think they'll turn it around and go on a run of wins.

That'll do, pig.

Huge opportunity tomorrow for United to catch-up with the Top 4.

It's gonna be a fúcking draw isn't it?

niallo27

Good night for utd in fairness. Should bring them right back into the mix tommorrow night.
