Excellent stitch of the grounds tbb. I sit on the south stand when I can nick a ticket off my dad, I can't get a view as good as that.

Swish. Now can you do me one from the City of Manchester Stadium, I fancy a new wallpaper.

I can try, I'm going to the Celtic game.

From the stream the atmosphere at that Valencia game seemed fantastic, didn't it? Must've been the cheap tickets I suppose, gets an enthusiastic crowd in.

We were in the front row behind the Valencia goal in the first half and it was only £15

Just watched the highlights.

Valencia is looking goooooood. Very quick and tricky down that right flank. Can shoot with both feet and his crosses are something we've missed for a while.

Cleverly pulled off a few nice passes and was extremely calm when taking his goal.

Gibson can strike a ball can't he! :(

Owen may have lost a yard of pace, but he is still quick and makes fantastic runs. Finishing a bit off but he has scored 4 in 5, not bad.

Rooney scored ANOTHER header! :)

All in all its looking very positive. As phresh said, I can't see how there is a better squad in the league.

Valencia has impressed me considerably in the way he seems to have taken to playing for a bigger team. You never know how players are going to react when they get to the 'big stage' and so far he's looked comfortable and confident in his surroundings.

Cleverly did look good but I don't see a place within the squad for him just yet. I think another loan would do him the world of good. Preferably to another Premiership team to see how he does.

Owen was a little unlucky last night. He fantastically well up until it came to putting the ball in the back of the net. It was probably just one of those nights for him but if he plays like he did last night he'll score a bucket load of goals for us this season I'm sure of it!

Seems like you had a good time, 'tis a fine stadium.

I'm probably not going to be able to go to any games for a while as i've moved back down to the third world Cornwall untill I can get a job.

Would be cool to do a meet someday and go to a European match or something.

To Old Trafford, aye.

That first time you walk out onto the stands is amazing. In fact, it's great every time! Brilliant stadium.

They looked ok going forward at times and did have a few chances but there defence was pretty woeful and slow to boot. Not sure how close it was to there best team though.

We've got four defenders out this weekend, Vidic, Brown, Rafael and Neville. Not as bad as it sounds and it still amazes me that despite two seasons of barely playing the media are still wondering how we are going to replace Neville. Looks like O'Shea will start but both Fabio and De Laet have been impressive in the game(s) they've played so not worried about that. Slightly concerned about the centre as both Rio and Evans have picked up knocks easily in the past and could leave us a bit short if Vidic/Brown are a few weeks from recovery.

Sunday should be interesting though, if Ancelotti sticks with his 4-4-2 diamond our wingers should have a field day. Cole always did a great job against Ronaldo so it will be interesting to see how he copes with Valencia.

Yeah, they clearly have an understanding and are interchanging well, working as a team. They're getting in Chelsea's faces well too, nothing is coming down their side. I don't think the work either of them put in defence has ever been in doubt, so this is hardly a surprise.

I missed the first half completely, and I may or may not be watching the game on a low quality stream. Who was picking up Carvalliho for the equaliser? He ran into the box being tracked by somebody who just didnt follow him. I assume it was Berbatov?
