4 games in 11 days, rest 6 of the starting line up, go and get a 2-2 away at Wigan, 20 games unbeaten. Very happy with that.

Right. Moving up my list of slightly-annoying-things is Javier Hernandez. Why is he allowed to have chicharito on his shirt? I'm pretty sure Stuart Pearce wouldn't have been allowed Psycho on his, Lampard's not allowed Fat Frank etc...

Well that was surprising... Well played United, for long periods we were getting mullered, but stuck with it. In all reality a really great result, we'll still get done in Germany, but no embarrassment tonight.

And not much respite until your next game. To come through that congested fixture list with your unbeaten run still going is no mean feat. I hate to say this but you are looking like worthy champions.

I'm off for a piss and bleach cocktail.

Mullered? Hardly. 70+% possession and De Gea standing around bored. What is the point of having that much of the ball? They made them look very average. Meh, I was supporting the mancs tonight. Well done to them.

Haha, that wasn't easy to say, was it?

I'd be watching out for Wigan in the play offs. Your best best is to pinch 3rd
and hope Forest somehow sneak back into 6th...

Long time no see. How's life in the desert. Heating up I expect?

I've been a bit busy in all honesty. Life is pretty good, but as you say it is heating up. only got to 38.5 yesterday...

Jose showed Pep a number of years ago how to cope with 80% possession, speed on the break past the high line.
With a direct ball.

I see them recalling all loan players and still having a dodgy defense next season, as they won't be able to replace Puyol. Makes the timing of the signing of the young croatian "messi" halilovic even more auspicious

I think Mike means that it will go to appeal and be rescinded.

Or maybe i'm giving him too much credit.

You are giving him too much credit...

That's massive news...

Now, where are my fucking red trousers?

Interesting development in the U18 transfer department. I imagine most clubs are bricking it or know that FIFA/UEFA haven't got a leg to stand on. My best guess is that it's the former. The clubs are in a much stronger position than the governing bodies.

Rob, the red trousers are okay, providing you have a matching half n half to go with it.

I think it's at the back of the sock drawer.

Derby v West Brom, Wembley 2007.

That must have set you back at least a fiver.

The following season set us back even further...

Nice, I love a bit of self-deprecation.

This is exactly what I mean. It may appear to be happening now, but it won't really happen

I was at the game. Fucking dreadful football all round... only made worse by your performance in the PL.

Nice, I love a bit of self-deprecation.

Not something you see very often in this thread...
