it was brazil 2013 though, and we beat them

personally i expected nothing else, but hey, what do I know

i'll go further, and say that if rooney carries on playing like that we'll have a £#%&!ing brilliant end to this season

So what you're saying is if our most important player plays well, we'll do well?

Really going out on a limb there. Any more radical pearls of wisdom?

Its OK, we believe you

I thought that, but part of it said 'and that is why we are going to win'. Hard to see how you can mistranslate that, but then again I don't schprechen der Deutsch, or whatever.

Fancied us on Sunday and fancy us for the title. Chavs and Berts will probably improve but not looking convincing. The top two just won't last.

Everybody going on about Sagna's crossing - it only happened after he didn't have Kaggers to occupy him.

and Evra switched off...pretty much the perfect use of Giggs.

he did - and I thought we'd suffer for it but we managed to cover. Just well focussed on the day. Love Evra to bits but at times......

Sagna barely left his post until Kaggers went off. Don't think Kaggers was that good on the creative side but he did what he was obviously detailed to do. Pity he is still not being utilised properly but maybe part-trade him cos he wasn't Moyseh's signing and I really can't see him being used to his strengths.

United are broadly based around pace, power, being direct, getting it wide etc. It isn't always that pretty, but it works more often than not. Obviously some of the mongs on here would have you belief we played like Barcelona when Fergie was here and Moyes has destroyed all this, but that's a load of %@#$&!s.

When Kagawa looks good is when he has players very close to him, he always wants to play a 5 yard pass. It looks good when it works and he gets himself into a position where he is 5 yards away from a teammate. I just don't see how you would fit him in with the other personnel we have currently and have had traditionally. It's a shame, but at the minute he is a hindrance playing from the left and offers us no balance at all.

Truth bear bombs

fair enough but can't see why he can't play with J@&%!aj and RVP who can both control a ball - having said that, I just can't see him lasting here

£#%&!ing hell, got a lot of arsenal @#%&!s on my timeline on twitter, i thought they would go quiet after we beat them on sunday but i was wrong.
