    Zero Goals But Eleven Hero's.

    Well it might have been a goalless draw but what a game. The most exciting 0-0 ever to be played probably. Certainly the best one I've seen. I think Man Utd can consider themselves a bit fortunate to be going away with a point. Our guys outplayed them on all fronts. I think they were grateful when the final whistle went and Fergie certainly wouldn't have been complaining about not getting enough added on time.

    Feel sorry for those of you that wanted to go but couldn't get, it was a game and a half and certainly one to remember!

    Bring on Blackpool!

    Was a fantastic game and a draw probably the right result, bring on the tangerines!

    It was a very good game, and I'm very happy with the point.
    It also gives us confidence going into the Blackpool game on Saturday and there were a lot of good performances tonight which can hopefully be carried forward to Saturday.

    The players did us proud <ok>

    The perfect response after a disappointing performance at Villa Park.

    The thing is, although it was a great game and everybody was thoroughly entertained and happy with a draw we were unlucky to lose.

    If it had been a boxing match we'd have been a street ahead on points and been clear winners and nobody would have complained.

    We were also denied a blatant penalty.

    Carrick and Anderson were outshined by Tiote and Guthrie IMO. Nani was fairly quiet, same with Giggs(tired/slight injury probably?).. Rooney was a constant threat though, same with Hernandez and Smalling/Vidic were solid. Evra and O'Shea were average though. Average united performance IMO.

    Rooney's always going to be a threat but our guys shackled him quite well. Hernandez wasn't all that and of the defence Vidic stood out. Just a case of our guys being better than all of them on the night. A pity we didn't have a first class striker and we really could have capitalised on what was a first class show.

    Not quite how I saw the match but all in all we did do very well. Man U looked like the only team that were going to win at the end it but I suspected we would get something early doors when we were completely all over them. Alas the whole team played very well and matched them for the most part until the end. Play like this against Blackpool and we should win with relative ease!

    played well first half, but they dominated second.

    it highlighted how badly we need quality up front. McLoven puts the graft in, but he's just not got enough class to bother top defences.

    That's just it though isn't it? Because we'll not put in anywhere near the same application against Blackpool as we did last night. Story of our season.

    Awesome game, really wish I could have got through! Thought we were very unlucky not to score (especially in the first half) but second half we defended like TITANS!!!

    Draw was probably fair.

    Here's a thought though. If we manage to keep a hold of our best players, add into that Ben Arfa and a quality striker... We could be brilliant next year!! <badger>

    With Ben Arfa in the team and a quality striker, we will be brilliant!

    Agree, Tiote was Tiote and completely in control and Colo celebrated Coloccini day in the perfect way.

    Of course the whole team contributed and are all worthy of a special mention.

    It was a great team performance.
