Tonight's football thread

I think that reflects on the lack of quality in the Premier League this season to be honest. We're missing strength in midfield and were lucky that Scholes still 'has it'.

The 6-1 result was the best thing to happen to us this season though, it made us stop trying to be flash harrys (note : Danbert) and start grinding out results when we weren't playing well.

2 points dropped since Scholes came back - that's got to rank amongst the best second halves of the season they have had.

The failure in Europe is perhaps what downgrades this team, but I think that is because they are one of the most inexperienced Utd teams ever to play in Europe. They will learn. Jones, Smalling, Raphael, Cleverley, Welbeck, Evans, Young - I think they've grown during the season, gained invaluable experience and I think this is the start of another great Fergie team.

Agreed. I absolutely despise them with every fibre of my being, but they have showed resilience, desire and resolve over the last 2 months - we've shown petulance, nerves and a lack of ideas. Our time will come, we'll come back stronger next season with this experience behind us. Tick Tock.

Who do you fancy as your next manager Danbert? :closed:

Mancini must be retained, we must avoid a knee-jerk reaction and see the steady progression and longer term benefits of stability. We have been down the knee jerk, sack 'em way before - look what it did for us.

If we're 10 clear by the derby you'll have to clap us onto the pitch as champions - one draw for you and us carrying on winning will do it. Oh yes.:thumbup:

We are still on course for our best season in the league for 35 bloody years, our best ever in the premier league era. We are in next years champions league. We have played the best football i've ever witnessed (including the Bell, Summerbee, Lee team.)

Of course we are hurting because the league was so close and is now slipping away. Of course the bile from the media is galling. Of course the Tevez situation has pissed us all off. Of course we are annoyed about the refereeing decisions that have made it that much easier for you rags to keep hold of the title.

But remember this: you are hanging on by your fingertips. Yes it looks like you have clung on this season. But our time is coming. This season may be ending in a disappointing way, but it is still our best season in living memory. We are coming. Tick tock.

Danbert, you should be a politicians' spin doctor with what you are writing. :D

Next season, good luck, gutted Man U won overall but chuffed to bits with Arsenal still possibly being in champions league, after our start, I'm happy!!

Danbert, you've been saying the same thing since 2009!

As it happens, if Man Utd and Man City carry on their respective form, this could be United's biggest winning margin in the Premier League era (although not checked the figures) despite it being the worst title winning Utd team (if we win!), notwithstanding the young age of the squad.

Ballotellis played his last game for City.. where have I heard that one before...

Fergie would never hang out a youngster like that. I hope we sign him. He's an idiot, but could be guided to be one of the best in the world.. at the moment he's a long way off that, which I don't think he realises..

Still a way to go.. Wigan away next, they are doing their usual end of season heroics, so no easy task.. West Brom looked to be in that end of season lull but then turned up at the weekend, so both could drop points..

I don't think it's all over at all, especially as we still have to go to City, but as it is I fancy us to get something from their anyway. Think there is some premature celebrations by United fans... also City fans throwing the towell in too early. Look at City's form, that's how quick things change.

Remember - we went to your house and turned you over. You were so worried by it, that your club who normally gives a pretty decent account on all fronts went out of all the cups with a whimper. As a consequence you lost tens of millions of pounds trying to keep up with us. The truth is, you were more obsessed with catching us than anything else this season. And this aint gonna change anytime soon. We are like a road train in your rear-view mirror and no matter how fast you go we will eventually smash you to oblivion. Tick Tock Heathens :w00t:
