Maybe this pen we should have had in the 1st half, cant comment as I missed it and expecting DLs "victory for football" thread
Can't blame him. The 2nd half's been virtually a non-event since the third goal. Goal by Hernandez might make it a little more of an intriguing finish, though.
Fergie definitely quit at the right time. Bit sorry for Moyes if he turns out to be nothing more than a sacrificial lamb for whatever the Glazers are (not) doing.
But also a bit nasty of Fergie too (if he knew the Glazers aren't fronting up the transfer money needed etc) . Things can change so quickly. If you are no longer the Empire, then you no longer have the lure of guaranteed silverware to attract players. Which means you have more likelihood on having to sign mercs (with all the wage bill and team spirit aggro they often bring) .
Vidic sent off for a reckless, frustrated challenge on Hazard. Fully deserved, but I'm sure Moyes won't agree.
A red is usually guaranteed in these kind of games because of frustration and a bit of rashness. Remember Paulinho. Surprised we never had any reds when Citeh mauled us.
Rafael should be off for that, too. Studs up and two-footed, even if he cleanly got the ball and it was from the side.
I pondered weeks ago whether the Fergie factor was worth about 15 pts. The current gap to Citeh is 13 pts. They have had RVP and Rooney out for a bit at various times, but Citeh also had stop-start weekly progress in the first third of the season.
Yes and No, if you play the ball without playing the player it ought to be allowed in my opinion. I know others think differently but a good old fashioned sliding tackle is an art form if executed properly.
Just seen the goals, that is arguably the sloppiest hat trick I've ever seen. EDIT: Sorry, not arguably, unquestionably.
Ferguson was there again today, his shadow looming large over David Moyes: please log in to view this image Apparently that's Mick Hucknall on the right and not some random homeless man with some new clothes from a shelter.
I like Traore. Wouldn't mind if we did to Everton what they appear to have done to the Spammers! Not sure where he fits in at Goodison, though. Can't see Martinez playing both him and Lukaku together.
Traore must be a merc then (cannot possibly have declined the Academy of Hoof for Everton on footballing grounds) .
Nah, it's a stright red card offence everytime it's done near a player. Even if Cahill(?) felt he could've got the ball there, he wouldn't have gone for it as he'd have got his leg broken if he did. Thought the red and yellow were the wrong way around, to be honest, not that it affected the result. United really missed having a proper striker in that game, Welbeck just isn't that kind of player and it showed as a number of good balls went into the area with him nowehere near them.
So just the result tomorrow pending. And then N days of trying to get all our best physio'd back four and DMs fit enough to feature in some way against Citeh.
