The old Man Utd Thread

[5R7]

what a fucking  a joke, its a fraction of a second late.

and never mind what bellerin just did.

 

thats us fucked the derby then init!

[Adrock]

@5R7, that was a clear red.

[Liamness]

Yeah, he's put his studs into him twice. Idiotic.

 

Pattern is set for the last 15 I guess.

[feltmonkey]

Pogba will miss the City match now. 

[Liamness]

Rashford on please, for Lukaku. Just give them something else to think about. There's going to be loads of space in behind if we can get the right ball over the top.

[JPL]

Good to see that André Marriner is now on City’s payroll.

 

Silly of Pogba though. There was no intention or malice there, as his foot was down as he went for the ball, only instinctively flicking it up at the end to land his step. Unluckily for him Bellerin’s leg was in the way.

.....last man makes a foul...not sent off!?!

Thats not the rule, its denying a clear goal scoring oppertunity and you could argue the other player had it covered. Can see why people would look for a red though.

Same reason Arsenal have called for 6 penalties in the last 15 minutes.  

[Stig]

I reckon you cpuld say the one of Welbeck was a penalty.

You could if you wanted to be completely wrong.

Football, bloody hell.

So running in taking a players leg, knocking him to his hands and knees and not getting the ball isn't a foul?

[Mr Do 71]

Man of the match. Our brilliant keeper.

Welbeck slipped from what I just saw.

Welbeck should've had a penalty. I think you could say Koscielny should've seen red, yes Bellerin is covering but he's probably not catching up with Lukaku but for the foul. Refs are very unlikely to give a "last man" red card that far out in any case though. Overall the ref had a good game I thought, just completely missed that Rojo foul in the box.

 

De Gea is the greatest keeper on earth, I'm so glad we have him. He could go anywhere, must enjoy the, uh, challenge we give him.

No arguments there.

Don’t get all upset and neggy @stigweard, it’s just the way I saw it. I’ll have another look later on MOTD and see if you’re right. If it makes you feel any better, I’d have taken a draw if it meant keeping Pogba for next week’s match. It was an entertaining game though and I’d say luck (De Gea) was on our side today.

[Baring]

Just saw the Pogba red and it does seem harsh considering his leg was already on the floor, but as a player I think you’d miss stepping on someone like that. 

[nakamura]

The Pogba one is definitely a weird one. Just one of those situations that's tough to get right. 

 

Welbeck should have had a pen. Koscielny too far out for a red. 

 

De Gea worlds best keeper. 

 

Lingaard a player I quite like. 

 

Great game!

[Gabzy]

It was just great to see us part of such an entertaining match to be honest! And to win, of course.

 

De Gea is a GOD and we are so lucky to have him. Absolute legend 

[Baring]

God knows what his value would be in today’s market. He will win Madrid the title if he ends up there and possibly Man U this season. 

[feltmonkey]

He single handedly stopped us from being a complete laughing stock during the Moyes/LVG eras. We were still a bit of a laughing stock, but it would have been a lot worse without De Gea.

[McFly]

Its mad to look at David is now and think how much people were on De Geas back when he first started here. Id sell everyother player before i sold him.

[Liamness]

Inside look on Zlatan getting some media training:

 

 

[Mr Do 71]

We're at home to Derby in the FA Cup third round draw.

[ckny]

Didn’t we play them last year too?

 

edit - nope, two years ago.

[Seanfl9]

So nervous about the derby on Sunday. I would be really excited if we weren't missing Pogba, but we looked so ineffectual when he was absent that I just can't see us posing a major threat. Even if we do grab a goal and go ahead, I just can't see us holding out against this City side. I hope I'm wrong and just sheer derby-passion kicks in for the team and we just grind it out. It's bad that even a draw just isn't good enough at this point
