    Fergie had a rant, so what, come on everyone has them.

    I think he was annoyed because we played so well, and threw it away by silly errors. Carrick's defending was awful. Rafael, young lad, naieve mistake. Kids do that, but you don't hang them up for it, he'll learn. He had a cracking game. He's got a firey side and it got the better of him, he'll learn to control it better. I just think he wanted to last out but knew the players had given it a good go and lashed out at the Germans. Yes he's a bad loser, most successful managers are.

    I think we were unlucky. Class finish by Robben (which was fully admired by Fergie), but otherwise I thought we were the better team for most of the two ties.

    Bottom line is they punished our mistakes, in Munich and at OT.

    I thought that'd get a few... but because Fergi'es been here so long people forget how long ago that was. They also Forget that Fergie wasn't happy about that and generally we've been as well behaved as any other team since on that front. People single the big teams out becasue they watch football on TV and the big 4 dominate MOTD normally.

    Green with envy
    Yellow with fear
    Watching their title disappear




    I can almost smell their fear with Saturday approaching.

    I'm torn between wanting a Carlos hat-rick and a 5- 0 drubbing......or for the game to head into injury time and with it at 0- 0 Carlos smashing one in to make it 1-0 during a mysterious 6th minute of bacon time.

    We're in the best position and run of form that we've enjoyed in many a year with something to fight for against a United at possibly their lowest ebb since about 2005 with nothing left to fight for.

    You can't be looking forward to it at all

    Come on Danbert - pull the other one. You've already had your fingers burnt this season, don't set yourself up for the fall once again.
