all very well people pointing the finger at neville, but his challenge almost certainly prevented a £#%&!ing goal you clowns. wtf was evra's excuse for the way he played?

10pt xmas haul moves a step closer. roll on tuesday.

winning in style doesn't mean much to you, does it?

you should be ashamed of yourself for criticising evra.

Carrick isn't good enough on his day he is great but he has to be on form and the team to be on form for carrick to play well.

Rooney will be out for a few weeks now apparently.

Which is why he played with an ankle injury during the 06/07 run in

what else is going on that week-end?

love him to bits but he has to stop playing in anything other than already won games to give Raphael a break for the last ten minutes

i meant he seems to have a red card amnesty.

he is about as useful as rooney was for the last 5 minutes, though.

It's called deferred gratification!

£#%&!ing hell, we weren't anything like as bad as today then

(not great either - but should still have won, probably)

Good three points but a sloppy performance. Ground out the win, which is a mark of potential champions though.

People need to lay off Obertan. He wasn't that bad and its the first chance he's had in ages. He did okay. I'd rather see him out wide than Gibson in the middle.

Rooney was outstanding. Hopefully the injury isn't too bad as we need him.

Top of the league. Unbeaten. Nani, Scholes, Park and Valencia all to come back over the next few weeks. Onwards and upwards.

Was quality, but would have been even better if in response to

'Brian Kidd has started the mind-games talking about squads, is their any other position you wish you were in?'

If SAF had said 'certainly not an assistant manager sniping at his former manager!'

our midfield was all over the place, failing to pass to our own players and failing to close down. ando was also trying stupid through balls. they picked up where they left off.

we should have won because we were 1-0 up and cheated out of it. but the midfield were shit.

Thought Obertan did bloody well today for a player who's not starting games. His crossing was shit but so was Fletches, and nobody complains about that.

obertan is shit. he was good for the first five minutes, but he either thinks... in which case he dawdles on the ball.... or he runs along looking at his feet. he is totally unaware of where his team mates are and can barely run with the ball. he confuses defenders. and his team. and himself. he is also a spindly lightweight, he and fletch should stick to michael jackson videos.

what about hargreaves?! (also giggs > park)

This.

Obertan is garbage.Get rid asap please.

some people are still pining for tosic.

How many opportunities has Obertan really had?

He gets his first away start for United today and after a miserable performance from the majority of the team some people are calling for him to be sold? Ridiculous.

I'm not saying he's gonna be a superstar, but give the kid a chance ffs. He's done no worse than the likes of Gibson, who's played double the games.

gibson has scored some cracking (match-winning) goals and set up berba against birmingham. and people are calling for him to be sold too.

obertan is shit. utter shit.

Fair enough if you think that.

I always think young players need a good chance before we £#%&! them off.

I remember when Ronaldo first came to United a lot of Reds complained that he was a useless one-trick pony. I'm not saying Obertan is gonna become the best player in the world, but I see ability there.

please do not compare the young ronaldo and the young obertan.

ronaldo clearly had enormous talent. he needed polishing (still does). you can't polish an obertan.

The point about the Obertan/Gibson comparison is that Obers has some potential and ability, whereas the impression you get from Gibbo is that he will never be better than he is now.

Which isn't a within a million miles of being good enough for United
