But we drew away at Spurs ffs!

Because we tend to start with an absolute shite tempo and don't press teams far enough up the pitch.

Thus giving teams initiative.

Tried to play the 'killer' through ball a little to often, needlessly giving a way the ball, but otherwise another encouraging performance.

Birmingham look toothless up front, no real threat at all. Great chance for United to rack up the goals here.

Excellent performance, been a real tempo to the game and our slick passing is back.

Gives Fergie the chance to take a couple off early with Tuesday in mind.

I'm not joking, when he retires, Giggs will be remembered alongside the maradonas, peles, best etc of footballing history. Ok so he's not done owt with his country, but playing at the top tier in english football, in one of the best leagues in the world, for how many years, and at 37 he's still scoring goals like that.

The guy is a legend.

Magic - that blue #@&%! Bevan is a mate of yours? Can you tell him it costs me 12p each time I send him abusive texts and, as such, I would appreciate it if he could publish at least one of them.

If it helps, he can edit out every use of the words 'blue' and '@#%&!' and any references to his stupid £#%&!ing glam rock hairdo.

He was in my year at school and was totally hopeless at football.Tbh, as far as I knew, he didnt even like football

When the Arabs took over though, he was all over my Facebook telling me, Grubes and Switchers how City were already at Wembley etc, the usual blue stuff.It was ace when we kept handing their arses to them.I saw him in a boozer in the summer and ripped him to shreds with a red mate.He took it well tbh. Good lad, but a typical, typical blue.

I think he will gradually become more adept in choosing his moment for that type of pass from deep, but Fergie has always allowed the attacking players to play what they see. There is so much untapped potential in Anderson, starting to show it this year but once he finds his touch in the attacking third, not necessarily in his shooting but choice and weight of pass he really could make the step to world class.
