They're bottom of League One. What did you expect?

He also said the near two footed tackle was just a league one thing

Were they not interfering with play?

Running away from the ball according to Glenda.

I have no idea what off side means any more.

These really are £#%&!ing awful.
Still, it might give the lads a lift going into the next few games.

no idea why the game is on telly though
Should have been a Saturday 3pm & never to be spoken about again,

Of course it was offside. If the whole purpose of the wall behind the wall is to put the goalkeeper off, and they don't get their timing right to get inside before the kick is taken, how can it not be?

They beat Sheffield Wednesday last round, so I expected it to be tougher, not a cake walk. Just seen the free kick again and they were beyond the last man as Mata struck it, but it wasn't clear just how it effected the goalies sight. Fact is, if they weren't there, he wouldn't have got anywhere near it, just like he didn't.

I remember us saying that after we won at Anfield...

Because BT will pick the games which produce the most advertising revenue, and that involves United vs anyone in england.

Can't believe we let Nani go and we're playing him.

Oh wait, he's on about 80k a week less than Nani, of course

He wants absolutely no part of proper right wing play. Likes to hide in plain sight.

Get another 4 - confidence booster for Thursday
