coogar: two things happened in this game that swung the balance - nani's injury that brought on valencia(the plank) and lampard off for ramirez. mikel obi just did what he knows how to do best by sitting in front of his defence and allowing ramirez to run us ragged in the final third.

valencia should be sold after this game - he did nothing! carrick, cleverley went out of gas after the first hour, fatigue should be blamed for that anyways. we can beat chelsea at the bridge!

hahahahaha - we are drawing man city if we beat chelsea.....this is absolutely hilarious! when are we ever going to play a non-premier league side in this competition? it's going to be a cracker - we should pick ourselves up and win the replay!

elampiro:
When Nani challenged Arbeloa for a bouncing ball inside his own half, he seemed committed and nothing more. Cakir deemed it dangerous and after waiting until the winger recovered from a non-existent injury, out came the red card. Nani was incredulous. Ferguson went ballistic. With good reason.

ddippset: lol, being in the crime scene makes you an accomplice? you think say na nigerian police I de talk for here? The crime scene here refers to nani being involved in the clash with abeloa, innocent here means an innocent nana who didn't see abeloa charging towards him, and running from the cops here means rolling on the floor and feingning injury. It makes sense think about. And one more thing I have to be in nani's head to know he didn't see abeloa? When the full replay is right there on youtube and everywhere for the world to see? Common man!

coogar:

our attack broke down with valencia(every single time), he musta given the ball away more than 20 times today. we have nothing to complain about - we can do chelsea at the bridge!



that was written in the stars - united must always play a premier league side in the fa cup - it's united's birthright!

Ibime:
Same as we saw at The Bridge, MaZaCar buzzing around behind the striker is difficult for Utd midfield to pick up.

Carrick will always be a questionable DM in ma eyes although some dudes love blaming Giggs who at the age of 40 has more energy and mobility than a younger Carrick who is always late to everything. . . like Modrics shot on Wednesday.

montelik: A lot of players had shockers (Tom C in particular) but those who played against Madrid at least have an excuse. No such excuses for Rooney, Valencia who didn't play midweek and were abysmal. We need Jones to get fit quick.

montelik: We are running out of energy in the center similar to last season and we are going to need our wing play to pick up. Carrick and Tom C have done well up till now, but they are beginning to show signs of fatigue.

chamotex:
Nothing to worry about?
We lost a two goal lead in 45 minutes at OT and you say theres nothing to worry about.

Did you see the equaliser? How can we get caught and exposed like that whilst leading.
Chelsea had like a 5 to 3 man advantage. It was piss poor.

El Guapo: Well, Coogar how does it feel coming to Ur turf and giving u Ecstasy football? Your fans would certainly be happy that the Match day ticket was worth it.

In 3 Words "You are Out" - And plzzz dont Jxt take it personal

chrisley024: Sell Nani! sell Nani!. Now u tell me who should leave? I must say it again; our midfield is not ok. A mid dat cant absorb pressure, n dat reminds me, i didnt see Rooney 2day!

Cristalz: Nope. Valencia 55%, Rooney 45%.

Rooney was just as guilty as Valencia for losing possession too easily.

coogar:

if swansea can piss all over your blue shirts, united would do the same! we have won at the bridge before, it took the help of a referee to beat our youngsters in the carling cup earlier in the season.........you would get ripped again in the replay!

Lol - What makes u think u play the Swansea Play?

This is United, where the potential threats are engineered from the Wings, once shutted down-only heaven can mutate those in the Middle into Precarious figures!

No Clattenburg show this time around and that places me on a Idyllic state.

Hope u contain the Mazacar in an applauding fashion at SW6 - U'd need a certain Busquet though!

@elampiro
Nice job with the links you do know your stuff but Nani deserved the red

Thank God no one got sent off this time I'm sure elampiro and ddippset woulda quoted the old testament on my black a$$


This is the issue! And this is what I've been stressing since day one!! Its bad enough that he made a reckless challenge but he also went on to feign injury trying to make the ref look stupid! He would not try that next time

elampiro:

Evra, Carrick and Degea are our weakness. And now Valencia.

Rooney appeared to lack the inspiration or motivation today.

Respect to Rafael Da Silva

elampiro:
Is it not normal for players who fell down from tackles to stay on the ground for a while to recover? Even Vidic who got two fist punch to his nose recovered without injury after a while, though his face was red. How does this part form a reason for judging the tackle?

Please stop derailing the purpose of this trend jor.

A-40:

Was Vidic the tackler or did he get tackled? Do you not understand that Nani after a dangerous challenge tried to deceive the ref by play-acting? These are both bookable offenses and a red card is not out of place at least Roy Keane agrees with me


How am I derailing the thread? Aren't my arguments football related or am I talking about Coco's booty?

coogar: we play better than swansea!
you are not going to do this to united 2 times in a row.....we absolutely murdered chelsea in the first half then became complacent/fatigued in the 2nd half - things like these can happen.

just relax - hold on for the 2nd leg! swansea ain't the only team that has stunned chelsea at the bridge. qpr did the same with their inferior team. chelsea would have all the possession as usual, united would do all the scoring!

another chicharito goal at the bridge is sure - williamhill, here i come!

Lol - You can have a 24/7 on that Man, considering the fact that Cech wont embark on that cynical approach to Carrick's cross at the bridge - Chicharito was bullied off by Cahill!

You play better Crosses than the Swans, nothing to do with the Sexy Fast football they used in rapiing Us at the Bridge!

The guy who ensured we didn't get the lose we deserved.
