he's been disappointing, nqat. not enough games like today. you can see what he can offer, though, and how he could fit in. i'm still hopeful for next season, especially if he gets his injury sorted properly.

Not for me, played very well, but Carrick has dictated the whole game, and Park took it to them throughout.

I was the same with Veron. On his day he was untouchable but those days were far too rare to justify a starting place.

Fletcher, Berbs and Valencia were all excellent today.

Valencia man-of-the-match for me.

carrick was exceptional, i agree. couldn't believe he was getting slagged off but then it was the same bloke who posted the 'time to get rid of carrick' thread the other week so...

I was refering to ther bad signing quote. You dont have to score the goals to be a worthy signing. His overall link play is superb.

Exceptional? Calm down dear, he wasn't great in the first-half. Stop whining and enjoy the moment.

Apparently Big Blackie (The LUHG flag) has made an appearance as well.

Owen: "Its my first injury since i've been at United"

The BBC coverage is slightly odd, i just watched Nemanja Vidic giving an on the pitch interview, then whilst he was talking they cut to on the field goings on, where Nemanja Vidic was shown talking to Ferguson. Do we have 2 Vidics?

Oh right so we paid £30M for him and he's underperformed for plenty of his time here but you think he's been a good signing? He's no better than last season when we were told he was under-performing because he didn't have a pre-season with United. Also, you're using the fact he set up a goal today as justification that he's been a good signing?

I wonder why Rooney was dropped? Lineker at half time said it was because he had the flu, Rooneys just told the beeb its because he had a sore knee.

Vidic bends time

Great to see Evra lead us up the steps.

Think I preferred the on-field presentation though .

Not just today, one of many he has set up. Personally I think he is a great player but its easy to look at the negatives when you think negative most of the time.

What the £#%&! was that shite music all about?

Bent as £#%&!.
