afrodoc: i saw that too,he took a step towards his left and then had to adjust and dive right.having said that mata's shot was very well placed

mbulela: I kept wondering why Valencia was attempting to do more than the simple things he is excellent at? slowing down play and learning to dribble.
DDG impressed me immensely.
btw, Mata is king.

BlueDiva: We would have skinned them but Mark Clattenberg just had to earn his payoff.
Can any decent United fan even enjoy such a win?

So proud of the lads, everybody apart from the dud gave 100%.
As for the other Spaniard, good riddance, i wish he gets a straight red.

As far as i'm concerned we have been playing with 10 men throughout the season.
What a waste of space. Even Lukaku is putting up a decent performance on loan.

montelik: Besides some clever counter attacking opportunities that turned to goals, we were back to the wall most of the game until the 1st red card. If not for DDG producing some brilliant stops we could have been behind going in at half time. Interesting to see people giving credit to Young for defensive work, when Rooney was even better defensively. Besides his needless foul for Chelsea's 1st goal, his hard work and tenacity was the main reason Chelsea's midfield didn't absolutely slaughter us. The were many instances he was there to block the shot, clear the ball, close the spaces and cover gaps.

abiL: Another 190 Lol

denzel2009: I doesn't know anything o.

Coogar, you are the only malewhore on this forum. I know all your conquests' IDs...you want me to list them

denzel2009: errm skype, sexting, whatsapp, 2go?

debosky: Hoe Markt?

Ordinary Leverkusen dey knack una akpako.

Disgraceful club.

Odunnu: Good. Judge Coogar, when was the last time you had good, really good sex?

bxg: Is it only me but i find Valencia very useless

chamotex: I bet if United went down to 9 men...Chelsea would have battered and embarrassed us.
I was even more concerned playing a 9 man opposition.
It's just not right. 9 flipping men! 9? I'm not even happy about it.

dayokanu: Update on the Torres watch please

chamotex: Not happy with the way we played when they went to 9 men.
Offside goal but I'd take it any day.

Purist: Line-up: De Gea; Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley, Young; Rooney; van Persie.

Subs: Lindegaard, Anderson, Giggs, Hernandez, Nani, Welbeck, Scholes.

Katsumoto: LOL

Judge Coogar, please go and read it all. Don't be lazy.

Katsumoto: On one hand some say I provided way too much information, on the other hand another is saying I missed out on some information. My opponent did not even provide a rebuttal to my opening statement.

chamotex: Watching Pogba play for Juve...unless the money he was 'reported;y' askng for was outrageous, we should have kept him.
We definitely dont have a midfielder of his type in our squad.

dayokanu: I must say I was impressed by the way Obinoscopy handled the topic, He picked a topic thats considered a poisoned chalice and he delivered with it

dyabman: if you can score goals do that without match fixing , tippy tappy or tipsy tackky is all folks , having the right players is most important to execute such plan

i believe team work is the most important , porto 04 , liverpool 05 , chelsea 2012 .. tippy tappy is just a tactics to enjoy yourself on the pitch. .

dayokanu: Arsenal of 2003/2004 were not tippy tappy The tip tap rubbish started after 2006. Arsenal before then played realistic football most of which is just route a long ball to Henry who blitz the defence Check Arsenal performance in San Siro in 2003/2004 to see what I am saying

Check how Arsenal played their CL campaign of 2006 or the FA cup final of 2005.

Realistic football is what Real madrid played between 98 and 02. 98 was a Capello/Juup heyckenes side definitely not tippy tappy in any way, Madrid of 2000 played some of the most negative football in that series and were under the cosh from both Man Utd and Bayern for long spells mostly taking their chances on the counterattack. The Madrid of 2002 was the most attacking of that era yet they had the grit of Makelele.

Their attempt to play the real tiki taka post 2003 was what led them into the ignominy of the Galacticos era.

bolakale30: Have u considered being a soildier, u are suited for it ....

dayokanu: The only club where tippy tappy has worked largely is still Barcelona. Can you give any other example? The Dortmund you keep referring to is a counterattacking side. Who defend in numbers and break out at speed

If we have just one club out of hundreds where tippy tappy has worked, Would that be considered a successful tactic that can be replicated with guarantees of success?

dayokanu: In 1994 I think Sweden and Romania were very exciting to watch.

That Brazil of 1994 was one of the dullest Brazilian teams to the world cup. The game vs Holland was very dull until Bergkamp and Winter scored

RuuDie: I said "we've won the ligue mostly playing the pair. . ." Let me clarify; I didn't categorically state a period or season or how many times it happened.
So even if it was a gazillion years ago and even if it was just once kpe're, it is still there on record for all to see that we have won the EPL playing with both Carrick+Scholes as our main center midfielders for most of the campaign. . .and I do not blame SAF for sometimes thinking the pair can re-ignite that magic again!

montelik: You do realize we are the away team and we haven't won there since 2002. We can't get to caught up in trying to stretch them, while allowing Mata and co to run all over our midfield (if the lesser team/players have, I have no doubt they will) and suspect backline.
