Well at least today, Fulham are not walking alone in Europe.
Anyway we need a big European Night to move to Semi Finals. Let's see where it goes.

Roy Hodgson is great.

@A_G: You know what I meant by pathetic remark. Giggs is suppose to be legend and veteran and should have at least tried to make some contribution as for holding the ball to waste time before Robben scored. Berbatov did his old "I am too good for this" behaviour. When one needs a goal, not looking at his age but Macheda actually would have run along the channels as Batern's defenmse were leggy and slow, which Berbatov cant exploit because he cant run!!

Those who are disputing Rafael's sending-off are definitely annoyed. But he was a fool and he showed he doesn't know any rules of football. When you are on a yellow you dont go grabbing some one's shirt for THAT LONG and get away with it.

Fergie might go on and rant about Germans and all but the bottom line is his team let themselves down big time.

Robben didnt even play THAT good but he stamped his mark on this tie.
I am gutted.

[ico]

ok we get it.

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Oh come on,expecting a 35 year old to be an impact sub for the last 9 minutes is too much.Even Berbatov can't be blamed for that.
SAF left it too late,thats what happened.

Just noticed this

Giggs came on 5 minutes after Robben scored.
I am surprised how quick are United fans to bash one of their greatest players ever when it isn't even his fault.

Did you really watch the match? Berbatov and Giggs WERE subbed AFTER Robben scored.

I have no idea what even Berbatov would have done in only 10 minutes. Fergie anyways preferred a half-crocked Rooney over him.

You're blaming the wrong people. Carrick is da man.

[Rahim]

I stand corrected but when one loses from THAT position one goes bonkers!!!!!!

Baal ki khaal nikalo mat yaaron.

Point is quiet clear: Macheda should have come on instead of Giggs as the latter, even for 10 minutes, went to KPax with the pads.

I doubt if that Bulgarian would have had any impact even if he started.

@A_G: Yah SAF left it too late, we can see how the mood changed when Rooney was substituted.

If you have a car and you decide to buy a new fuel injection system for it, you have to make sure it is compatable with what you have. If you have a Porsche, but you go out and buy a fuel injection system designed for a Lotus, it isnt going to work. In that instance, who is the ****? The fuel injection system? The Porsche? Or the guy who bought the wrong part?

A decent mechanic can obviously customise parts to fit his car. A decent mechanic can build a really great, fully customised motor from a variety of parts. Fergie is obviously a great mecahanic, he has been building cars that have been winning races and looking great for years. But on this occasion he bought a very specific type of a part, with a very specific set of qualities, and then tried to bend and twist it into something else, without making the necessary adjustments to the car to make it fit.

[ico]

If Macheda would have been ineffective, people would have been saying, "Champions League is a big stage, we needed the experience of Giggs." Macheda instead of Berbatov? I agree.

What's done can't be undone. The man who was at fault for the game was Carrick. ManU needs a "world class" midfielder.

[Rahim]

I will watch Liverpool vs Benfica tonight as I am taking 3 days off.

[ico]

ok no-one is stopping you.

[XTerminator]

yea no doubts that carrick was poor yesterday.cost us the first goal,and thereby the match.

and yea we do need a 'world class' CM.nani proved his worth yesterday.motm for me.gibson also showed promise.so some positives indeed to take from the match

[Rahim]

^If you want to dig the dirt, the referee came in the way when Valencia laid the ball for incoming Gibson? That woild have been the 4th////// I think it would have been a goal but the refree distracted him .........[COLOR="Silver"]

Reds agree Hernandez deal

Manchester United is pleased to announce it has reached agreement with Mexican club, Chivas de Guadalajara for the purchase of 21 year-old Mexican striker Javier Hernandez, better known as “Chicharito,” for an undisclosed fee, subject to a successful application for a UK work permit.

Talk about intent!!!

[XTerminator]

Manchester United have confirmed they have agreed an undisclosed fee with Chivas de Guadalajara to sign Mexican Javier Hernandez.

subject to a work permit still.we'll get a look at him,when england play mexico come june.

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Hmm.. same age as Vela but with less NT caps and no European experience.
Also the games missed by Mexicans because of their international commitments are a pain in the arse.
