Seriously two years on the fackin trot!!!

This is gonna be a turning point for us this year, that team had passion, fight, showed some spark again, I felt that glow of pride again that had been missing for a while!

United two years in a row at old Trafford! Ha, how many teams have done that in the past 20 years!

Also worth noting the results at home too, last two seasons have been draws at the lane too, so in two seasons we have taken 8 points from our games with Utd. Says a lot about them as well as us but it is definately a sign of major improvement for us.

And we should really have had all six this year, gave them a point this year at home

Felt way more comfortable this year as well. Well actually.....that's a fucking lie I nearly had a heartattack but last year I thought was massively lucky, they had so many real chances where it was completely out of our hands and just down to whether they can finish or not. Today there weren't really many clear chances for them, they never exactly cut us up

I think these two wins speak more about Man U downfall rather than our raise to glory.

I would say it's 50 50, I mean they best arse didn't they. They have won how many in a row before us.

I think we did very well today

Chas, Dave, Ossie and I disagree with you....



Man U's current position is 7th. When was the last time they were 7th half way through the season? That looks like a downfall to me.

On the other hand we let our manager go due to poor results, including trashings by 6:0, 5:0 and losing to the spammers at home, twice. That doesn't look like going up to me.

AVB lost to West Ham once, Tim lost in the cup

Way to nit pick, it doesn't matter if it's a cup or not, it is a loss either way, at home and to put a cherry on top of it - from West Ham.

It was his first game or second in charge, either way he couldn't really change that much the way the team was playing. And even if he does in the future, the least he can get with the current squad, assuming he is not that great of a manager but better than AVB, is either 4th or 5th - a position that we have been in since 2006, minus 2008 and 2009. An improvement then would be challenging for the title, which neither of the manager prior to him wasn't able achieve.

I'll give you two examples of improvements this season:
- Liverpool, from struggling to get into UEFA let alone top 4, to title contenders,
- Arsenal, from fighting for the last top 4 spot with us to a title contender.

We just have to wait and see if there is really an improvement or what we are seeing is just the normal "new manager" moral boost.

The current Man U on the other hand is the worst I have seen and I am not just talking about the statistics, I am talking about the way they play.

There is always something 'controversial'... how about, Man Utd, don't dive so often and expect it to be given then moan when it isn't. Then maybe the genuine ones will be given! Wellbeck and Januzaj both dived and the latter booked, Young has a rep for it, Rooney complains at every little thing. Fergie isn't in charge now, boys. Refs aren't falling for it.
